LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 4, 1996 Attorney Filla pointed out the City has no authority to amend the Armstrong CUP in any manner without ( underlying legislation which requires a recognition that storage use is a permitted or conditional use in the Ag zone. Once that is instituted, the applicant has a right to request that their current permit be amended. Councilman Hunt stated the Ag Use Committee will make a recommendation based on their charter which is to look at the uses and come up with standards and make a proposal ready for the next Council meeting.
