LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 7, 1995 7 M/S/P John/DeLapp - to table discussion on Planning Commission's recommendation for future land use changes on 1-94 for the February 14, 1995 cc/pz joint workshop. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Request for support by Washington County in a grant application to beautify County Road 19. Washington County Public Works has requested a letter of support to its effort to secure grant funds for planting trees and shrubs within the right-of-way on CSAH 10 and CSAH 19. The funds they are applying for are available under the Enhancement Fund Program of the Inter modal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA.) M/S/P DeLapp/John - to direct the City Administrator draft a letter of support to Washington County supporting its efforts to secure ISTEA grant money for trees and shrubs for the beautification of CSAH 10 and CSAH 19; conditioned upon no funds being committed for this project by the City without additional approval. (Motion passed 5-0). 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: Larry Bohrer reported that the notification for the overlay projects will be approx. 150 parcels. If we anticipate a large turnout, Bohrer asked if the city council would want to use the Elementary School on another night rather than a council meeting night. The Council suggested looking into dates available (anytime after March 7) at the Lake Elmo Elementary School and report back to the council on February 21, 1995. 8. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: Attorney Filla reported the city was served a motion by Federal Land for a hearing to have Judge Doyscher tell us what he meant by his order of July, 1991. This is scheduled for Friday, February 10, 1995 at 9:30 a.m. in Washington County. Arabian Hills: Council member Conlin voiced her concern on the expense incurred by the city to do an inventory of trees on the lots in Arabian Hills. Conlin felt if the developer is expected to absorb this cost, it would be more reasonable for him to agree to an amount of seedlings rather than go through the expense of an inventory. Filla did not anticipate an expensive inventory and thought that either the developer or Jim McNamara would go out to Arabian Hills and walk on the 8 lots and count trees. M/S/P John/Conlin - to inform Chuck Nelson, Developer of Arabian Hills, to provide a report by May 2, 1995 on the number of trees planted on the 8 lots. (Motion passed 5- 0).
