M/S/P Siedow/Armstrong — to adopt Resolution No. 99-71, A Resolution Approving the Preliminary Plat for an Open Space Residential Development Known as Meyer's Pineridge. (Motion passed 3-1:DeLapp) M/S/P Siedow/Armstrong — to adopt Resolution No. 99-72, A Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for an Open Space Development in the Agricultural Zoning District Known as Meyer's Pineridge. (Motion passed 3-1:DeLapp) Planner Dillerud asked the Council to set up a workshop to clarify definitions within the OP Ordinance. C. Wildflower Shores Final Plat Planner Dillerud reported the Council approved the Preliminary Plat for this Open Space Development for 26 single family detached lots on a site of 56 acres on March 2, 1998. During 1996 the Council had also approved a grading plan for the site that was assumed to be undertaken over a 3-year period. Submission of the Final Plat had been stalled over issues involving pond maintenance, infrastructure plans, and Development Contract terms. Dillerud indicated the Final Plat has been in City Hall for three months, but staff has been trying to draft the developers' agreement. The developer has requested that the City be responsible for all maintenance at the sediment pond located in the southwest corner of the site and drainage features. This major issue is not resolved. Mr. McCulley, Glen Rehbein Co., voiced his concern, as well as the Valley Branch Watershed District's, on maintenance of Outlot E, the sediment pond. If anything happened upstream, the pond would capture sediment off the site. He would like Lake Elmo to takeover maintenance of this pond and amend the joint power agreement. The Wildflowers HOA has no authority upstream, but Lake Elmo does. Rehbein is asking for the amendment for adding 5 acres of land to the 200 acres. Oakdale would be agreeable, but Lake Elmo has to propose it because it is our property. Council member DeLapp asked what benefit would there be for the VB WD or to Oakdale to sign the amended Joint Powers Agreement. Lake Elmo is taking 90% of the water. The five acres of land can be used for something other than a nurf pond. This is a value to them to have it created. Attorney Filla reported the developer created the pond and the long-term maintenance paid by Lake Elmo is 19% and 81 % by Oakdale. Now, we are adding 5 acres to the joint agreement so the percentage would change to 80% or require the HOA. The agreement provides Oakdale water here, but no sewer or water on 3M site unless Lake Elmo agrees. The volume of water crossing east over the west property of Wildflower Shores will not be increased above the volume permitted in the original agreements. M/S/P Siedow/Armstrong — to adopt Resolution No. 99-73, A Resolution Approving the Final Plat and Open Space Final Stage Plan for Wildflower Shores. (Motion passed 4-0.) M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to have Resolution No. 99-74 drawn up and reviewed, which will come back for Council approval, amending agreement to include Outlet E as a storage water facility between Lake Elmo, Oakdale, and Valley Branch Watershed District. (Motion passed 4-0.) C. Village Commission recommendation on Calthorpe Assoc. Design Study Planner Dillerud reported the Met Council is sponsoring a study to help St. Croix Valley communities prepare for future growth. The consultants from Calthorpe Assoc. will work with local officials and residents to identify development options that are more efficient in using land and resources that exist today. There were six members of the Village Commission involved in a conference call with Calthorpe Assoc. and recommended participation in design for area north of Highway 5 to north of green belt area. They will look into circulation design, intermix uses, residential and nonresidential, and will take this information and lay it on an air photo. The work is done free and will be completed by December 1 `. It is the City's to do as we wish. Recommendations will not be binding. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1999 4
