The property is located north of State Highway 5 and West of Beaut Crest. Wildflower Shores was formerly known as Lake Elmo Hamlet Estates. On September 2, 1997 the City Council approved an Open Space Development Concept Plan with several issues needed to be resolved: Clarification on the full density, water agreement with Oakdale needs to be amended to allow water on this site, and resolution on the grading permit. When Rehbein Companies originally submitted the grading permit, the fill from the site was to be brought to the Washington County landfill site. The Council directed staff to continue this item until such time the applicant and staff discusses conditions and come to an agreement. There was discussion on the creation of the pond, who will be responsible for the pond on a long term basis and how can this pond be created with little impact to the surrounding neighborhood. The Soil and Water Conservation District has reviewed the land and have included comments which will be included in the "Conditions of Approval". The City Planner recommended that this pond meet the standards as set forth in the Wetland Conservation Act. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES March 2, 1998
