a suggestion where to erect "No Parking Beyond This Point' signs to help eliminate this problem. Councilor Dunn suggested "residential parking only' signs be placed in front of the houses on Upper 33rd Street. Councilor Conlin suggested that the Feed Mill and Lake Elmo Inn be asked to participate in costs of signs. The City Planner was going to come back with suggestions or an alternative for the parking problem. There is also a problem with parking by a fire hydrant that needs to be addressed and enforced. M/S/P Conlin/DeLapp — to direct the staff to erect two "No Parking Beyond This Point' signs as indicated on diagram provided by Dan Olinger, to add a sign or signs where appropriate past the Lake Elmo Oil turnaround calling for "residential parking only", and send a letter to Lake Elmo Inn and the Feed Mill asking for participation in costs of signs. (Motion passed 4-0). 8. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: A. Old Village Committee A group of citizens have been meeting since December,1996 and are asking the City Council to formally recognize them as a working committee for the City. A mission statement and a map of the area they would like to study was provided for Council approval. The following people have made application to serve on this committee: Ann Bucheck Myrtle John Arlo Frost Debbie Krueger Cindy Gackle Yvette Oldendorf Dave Herreid Marjorie Williams M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to direct the staff to prepare a resolution for the City Council to establish a Lake Elmo Village Committee as a working committee of the City and accept the mission statement, as amended, and authorize the services of the City planner on an as -needed basis and accept as committee members of those applied and invite anyone who wish to apply contact City Hall.. (Motion 4-0). The Council and Village Committee tentatively set a joint meeting for the month of July. Councilor DeLapp suggested setting in motion placement of a moratorium on the undeveloped areas in the Old Village as defined on the map in order to be able to work with the property owners and Village Committee to develop a set of guidelines. The purpose is to force action rather than to delay action. Councilor Dunn would like to see an organized plan for this area. Councilor Conlin was uncomfortable in starting this moratorium process without bunking things through. She would like to ask the Planning Commission for their view to enable the City to put new guidelines in place. Administrator Kueffner suggested inviting the property owners that have this undeveloped land and make the offer to take part in this process. M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp — to direct the staff to work with the Lake Elmo Village Committee to determine if a moratorium in the old village area on new development would be required to give us time to formulate a new ordinance or to fix inconsistencies with other ordinances and report back to City Council by their first meeting in July and to have the planner present this basic concept to the Planning Commission to be involved in discussion at the next meeting. (Motion passed 4-0). B. Concept Plan:Mixed Use, Residential/Retail:Lynskey Property Mike Lynske�y would like to work with the City to achieve a concept plan for developing his property located at 39 Street and Highway 5 with a housing/mixed use development for this site. The proposal consisted of 18,000 sq.ft retail space with apartments (28-1 bedroom and 2-2 bedroom). He has found there are not enough starter homes in the City and the children cannot afford housing because there is a shortage of rental housing. Mr. Lynskey will contact the Met. Council to see what funds are available through the Livable Communities Act. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 3, 1997
