LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL4 iNUTES MAY 20, 1997 Attorney Filla pointed out that the Klatts will not be part of the Development Agreement, and the City has no authority to authorize ghost platting. The Klatt property is already zoned OP and in the future when a minor subdivision is submitted, the resulting lots have to satisfy the lot requirements. Filla also explained that the City does not have the authority to transfer density, but would have to adopt special legislation revising the Open Space Zoning District Ordinance for a density transfer. The developer was reminded that work may not begin until the final plans, agreements, and financial security have all been approved by the City. M/S/P Dunn/Conlin — to approve Resolution No. 97-23, with the modifications, approving the final plat of The Fields of St. Croix based on its consistency with the preliminary plat approved by the City Council on February 18,1997, a favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission and the findings stated in the planner's report. (Motion passed 3-0).. M/S/P Conlin/Dunn — to approve the Development Agreement for THE FIELDS OF ST. CROIX, as amended by the City Attorney on May 20, 1997, Footer #C11150966.002. (Motion passed 3-0). E. Ordinance amending Section on Moving Buildings City Planner Terwedo explained in her report that Keith Hagberg, who lives in the Old Village, 10807 32" d Street North, would like to move a garage to his property. The garage is presently located at 3686 Layton Avenue North approximately 5 blocks from his home, Presently, the City code requires a performance bond of $100,000 insurance liability coverage of $200,000 and property damage coverage of $20,000. The code was probably written for those who are moving large houses so this requirement seems quite extreme. Terwedo would like the staff to have some flexibility regarding the requirements for performance bonds, insurance liability coverage and property damage coverage for those who wish to move buildings within the City. A DRAFT ordinance amending the section relating to moving of buildings was provided for Council review. M/S/P Conlin/Dunn - to adopt Ordinance No. 9706, amending Section 505.05 SUBD 1 A and B of the Lake Elmo Municipal Code relating to moving of buildings. (Motion passed 3-0). F.

B. C. and D. to the Lake Elmo Municipal Code. (Motion passed 3-0). The Council felt it should be their decision as to the number of model homes allowed in each individual development. M/S/P Conlin/John - to amend the Development Agreement for Heritage Faun to allow up to (6) model homes with the consent of the developer. (Motion passed 3-0). M/S/P John/Dunn — to amend the Development Agreement for Fields of St. Croix to allow (4) model homes with the consent of the developer. (Motion passed 3-0).
