Surface Water Runoff Plan City Engineer Tom Prew met with the Administrator to review the schedule for the preparation of the Surface Water Runoff Plan. Portions adopted would include problem areas, wetlands buffer areas, CIP for problem areas, schedule meeting with the VBWD in October and submit plan in December for Council review. Jeff Berg, Washington County Soil & Water Conservation District reported firms have been identified and information received on preparation of innovative ways to deal with surface water runoff. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to direct the staff to work with the Washington County Soil and Water Conservation identifying firms that have developed new techniques for surface water runoff that are cost effective and environmentally sound. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Wildflowers Pond Maintenance - The City Engineer and Administrator will be meeting to discuss this item. C. Water/Sewer on I-94 Administrator Kueffher recommended that the City start the process for resubmitting the Comp Plan amendment that would provide us with sewer capacity to serve 440 acres (and that will be reflected in our Comp Plan as our 40 year business park plan). This work would be done through the 429 process (100% assessment to benefiting property owners), and no cost to the City. The Council received and reviewed Tom Prew's August 3`d letter on the site plan review for Heart of America, The Machine Shed, and future hotel and the July 6d' memo on the infrastructure requirement proposed for the 320 acre addition to the MUSA. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to adopt Resolution No. 99-51, Ordering a Feasibility Report for approximately 120 acres inside the MUSA and possible extension to the 440 acres to be served with water along I-94. (Motion carried 5-0). Three Council members indicated they were not for promoting sewer on I-94 because they were not happy with the kinds of applications coming in, the.proposals are not what were promised, but would like more of a demonstration of good applications that meet our standards. The MN Design Team came to the conclusion to retain Lake Elmo with a small rural character. In that regard, the MN Design Team tapes should be played again to remind the City of their conclusion. Mayor Hunt understood the Council was not happy with the applications coming in, but was in favor of sewer capacity to serve the 440 acres. Council member Siedow was in favor of providing sewer capacity because if the City didn't protect our borders, other communities would come in and annex this area. M/S/P Dunn/Siedow — to postpone until the staff can set up a workshop with the Planning Commission to review the recommendations and any previous information concerning installation of sewer on I-94. (Motion passed 5-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 17, 1999
