LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 4, 1996 Todd Williams, 3026 Lake Elmo Avenue N., asked the Council to exercise courage in their density and bonus plans. He doesn't believe developers' claim that limiting density will make developing uneconomical. If you want pathways, just require it. The Council's action on density, and housing types indicate you listened, but you acted on developer's requests, Williams urged the Council to listen to the voters before its makes decisions and not the landowners or developers. The Planning Commission have spoken against these high densities. The Council has not given any reason for overrunning the Planning Commission's recommendation. Councilman Hunt suggested the City proceed with a City-wide survey as suggested by Councilman DeLapp as to what the voters want. B.
