Public Inquiries Ed Stevens, 10133 47t' St. N., reported the problem of the damaged oak at the foot of his driveway and summarized the following points: Circumstantial evidence of the cause of the damage would be injury from black topping of the road or from the digging of a trench to replace telephone lines, salt accumulation during he Spring melt. It is likely that the tree will have to be removed and Mr. Stevens felt the City should bear the expense because the tree is on the right-of-way, damage very likely caused by the salt runoff form the street which could have been prevented by diverting the water elsewhere. If as originally planned the road have been put on the section line, Stevens felt the City would have had to pay not only for the removal of the damaged oak, but also for the removal of four healthy oaks. This item was referred to staff for review and will be added to the October 21" Council agenda B. Jim McLeod —Request on behalf of Oakdale/Lake Elmo Historical Society Jim McLeod indicated in his letter dated October 2, 1997 and explained at the meeting that the Eder family of Lake Elmo has donated a one -room school built in 1888 to the Oakdale Lake Elmo Historical Society. The school, which is now on the Eder farm, was originally located where Julep Avenue and 45" St. intersect. The Oakdale Lake Elmo Historical Society will move and restore the school and plan to use it as part of a Historical Interpretative Center. Other old buildings such as a round barn and an ice house built in Lake Elmo could be located near the school. McLeod asked if the City would be willing to lease on a long term basis for a nominal amount a 2-3 acre site on the land (Berschen) across 45 b St. to locate this Historical Interpretative Center. The Council is in favor of looking into this proposal, but wanted the Planning and Parks Commissions to review request. Councilor Dunn suggested that Mr. McLeod contact Mike Polehna, Washington County Parks, who may be in favor investigating into this and other proposals of locating school in the Lake Elmo Park Reserve. M/S/P Conlin/DeLapp — for the staff to refer the request of Jim McLeod, on behalf of Oakdale/Lake Elmo Historical Society, to the Planning and Parks Commission for their examination whether or not to accept the offer and locate the one room school on a 2-3 acre site on the Berschen property.
