LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 7, 1996 C. Ordinance amending Section 700 of Lake Elmo Municipal Code The Council previously adopted the revision of Section 700 of the Municipal Code as recommended by the City Engineer. When the Council did approve this revision, it was not in ordinance form. The City Administrator prepared the appropriate ordinance as well as a summary ordinance for publication. M/S/P Johnston/Hunt - to adopt Ordinance 8146, Ordinance amending Section 700 of the Lake Elmo Municipal Code, but to delay adoption of Summary Ordinance to the November 19th council meeting because the summary requires action from four Council members. (Motion passed 3-0). D. Street Light Request from Christ Lutheran Church The City received a letter from Judy Toft, a member of the property board at Christ Lutheran Church, requesting street lights be installed at the Church's entrance off 36th Street and at the church entrance off Laverne Avenue. In the past the Council has referred these types of requests to the City Engineer to see if the existing utility poles can accommodate the requested lighting, if there will be an installation charge, and what the monthly charge will be for the lights. M/S/P Hunt/Johnston - to direct the City Engineer to investigate the possibility of installing two street lights, as requested by Christ Lutheran Church, and report back to the City Council at its November 19,1996 meeting with a response to this request. (Motion passed 3-0). 8. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: A. OP Concept Plan: Krieger Property (Jack Buxell) County Road 17 and 10 Since four votes are needed for approval of a concept plan which does not meet the strict interpretation of the open space preservation ordinance and there were only three Council members in attendance, the following motion was made.

Public Hearing: Vacation of Street Easement (8271 Lake Jane Trail ) The public hearing notice was published in the October 25, 1996 Stillwater Gazette and affected property owners were notified. Planner Terwedo reported there is an identified 120' street easement which extends north and south through Lot 16 of Three Lakes Farm Addition. The easement was identified in a title search of the property. The 120' easement bisects the site. Since there are existing one acre homes to the south, it would be difficult to extend a road through this property. There is a development agreement signed in 1984 and recorded at Washington County in 1985, designating this easement. On June 20, 1986, an affidavit was prepared and signed by the city Administrator which describes the easement.
