Leave of Absence Request — Planning Commission Member Planning Conunission Member Jennifer Pelletier has requested a Leave of Absence from her Commission duties until the end of January, 2005 for medical reasons. The Council has previously approved requested Leaves of Absence of similar duration. The City Planner noted that making a quorum should not be a problem with a full complement of commissioners now in place. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn - to approve the Leave of Absence requested by Jennifer Pelletier for medical reasons from the Planning Commission until the end of January 2005. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Lot Area Variances/Minor Subdivision — Tauer/Pechan Donald Tauer of the Animal Inn and Walter Pechan has made application to the City for a variance to lot size for a minor subdivision to rearrange metes and bounds property lines with the Animal Inn complex to combine two existing tax parcels into one; and, then detach .63 acres of the combined (new) parcel and add that detached portion to a third adjoining parcel (Pechan), Mr. Tauer advised that he has been allowing Mr. Pechan to use the .63 acres for truck turning, but now intends to sell his Animal Inn real estate and has reached an agreement for Pechan to purchase the land that has been used over the years. The City Planner reported the zoning variances relate only to the fact that all three parcels involved in the Minor Subdivision action are non -conforming as to parcel area; and the resulting two parcels will be as well. At its October 13, 2004 meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted a recommendation to grant a variance to lot area and a minor subdivision to Donald Tauer. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to adopt Resolution No. 2004-091 approving a Minor Subdivision and lot area variance for Donald Tauer and Walter Pechan based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 5-0). In response to a question by Council Member DeLapp regarding the forthcoming redrafting of the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan, the Finance Director explained the City did not budget any extra funds in the planning budget for 2005. The City Planner LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 2004 3 concurred that the 2005 City budget does contain a minimal amount to cover planning studies, but that does not anticipate the scale of planning he understood that the Council desires to respond to the Met Council. He indicated that such a degree of plan detail is extraordinarily detailed and costly. He reserved commentary as to the cost until it is decided what we want to do. A. Fence Ordinance Amendments The City Planner reported the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on October 13`h, 2004 and adopted several recommendations regarding amendments to the new fence ordinance. Minor wording adjustments were recommended regarding setbacks for fences on lakefront property that lies in a shoreland setback. The Commission also recommended allowing fences to be constructed at the rear property line of double frontage lots by Conditional Use Permits; and, to waive permits and permit fees for Temporary Fences Finally, the Commission recommended amending the percentage of fence area above 42 inches that must be open to air and light from the present 75% to 50%; and, to allow percentage of open area to be calculated over the full fence height. Nancy Bielenberg, 12115 Marquess Lane N, asked why is the City talking about 6' height again when applications will come before the Council for approval by a CUP. She asked why was the requirement for height and open area snuck back into the ordinance. She said in her development, Carriage Station, there are fences erected cutting up small lots Council member Johnston stated the Council shouldn't bring back 6' solid fences and agrees with the speaker. He supports the other amendment changes and added we never finished addressing screening. Council member DeLapp said if the residents put up 6' fences that is what our residents want. Why should we tell them different? The Planner said the 75% standard for area open to light and air may have been arbitrarily arrived at from an example without consideration for how it might actually impact the applicants. Council member John said he has no problem with recommended amendments nos. 1 2 & 4. He asked if a fence, that is 50% open to air and light, is more or less costly than a solid fence of the same height. Council member Dunn said the smaller lots are a challenge. A custom-made fence to address the area required to be open to air and light will be more expensive than a standardized solid 6 foot fence. She has no problem with 50%, but 75% is more expensive. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 2004 4 M/S/P Johnston/DeLapp - to Approve Amendments #1, 2, and 4 as stated by the Planner and asked for more information on Amendment #3 regarding the cost of compliance with mandatory percentages of fence area open to air and light. The question was whether such a standard resulted in a more costly custom fence. Planner Dillerud will find out what constitutes custom by the fence suppliers. (Motion passed 5-0). D. Resolution No. 2004-092:Traffic Sienal — Keats/I-94 N. Ramps The Council received communication from Washington County regarding the County's intent to apply for funding to install a traffic signal at the Keats/I-94 North ramps. No cost participation by the City is proposed, but the City's endorsement of the project has been requested by the County. Council member DeLapp noted these are Woodbury lights and not Lake Elmo lights. There is no Lake Elmo traffic contribution. The City has wanted the County to do something on Hwy 5 regarding signals at Lake Elmo Avenue and they do nothing. He continued that the proposed signals at Keats do not involve safety issues as at Highway 5 and County Road 17. Council member Dunn reported there was supposed to be a landscaped parkway into the Regional Park, but the County is 20 years late. It was the consensus of the Council to invite County Engineer Don Theisen to the next meeting to discuss the Keats traffic signal and to bring up the city's lighting standards, safety concerns on Highway 5, and landscaping and paths that have not been followed through. M/S/P Dunn/Jolm - to postpone consideration of the resolution supporting Washington County's intent to apply for funding to install a traffic signal at the Keats/I-94 North ramps and invite Don Theisen, Washington County, to discuss safety concerns. (Motion passed 4-1:Johnston said this is an exercise in futility because all the County is asking is nothing but support and the City will look uncooperative.) 10. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: The City Attorney reported the house located on 37th Street has been secured. The county attorney has asked him to prepare a letter describing the city historical contact with that property. He said he has talked to the attorney of the property owner concerned about the parcel on Keats Avenue. The attorney who will be meeting with his client on Thursday and will let Filla know if they will be on the November 9th council committee agenda. 11. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. Holiday Liehts The City Administrator reported the City has the responsibility to maintain, store and install holiday lights in the Old Village area. Several years ago the Jaycees purchased new lights and donated the lights to the City. The Public Works Department has had the LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 2004 5 responsibility to maintain and store the lights and the Fire Department has installed the lights. At today's standards related to safety practices suggest the need for the appropriate equipment and experienced personnel to utilize that equipment. The Administrator indicated the Public Works and Fire Department do not have the appropriate equipment to install the holiday lighting. Staff identified Noble Seasonal Lighting, Inc. as a company that specializes in this service and has provided the city with a proposal to install, remove and store the city's seasonal lighting for a price of $2,500 for the existing inventory of holiday lights. M/S/P DeLapp/John — to authorize the Administrator to contract with Noble Seasonal Lighting, Inc. to install, remove and store the city's seasonal lighting for a price of $2,500 for the existing inventory of holiday lights. (Motion passed 5-0.) 12. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Mayor Hunt reported on the sessions he attended at the MN League Conference in Duluth. He gave an update on the Saturday, Old Village Master Concept Plan workshop where staff, Planning Commission members, public, potential developers attended to listen to a master developer and discuss if there should be a master developer or a master plan or a combination of both. There will be a series of several workshops to work on component parts of the plan. He said with all work done we are within 6 to 9 months to put together a plan so people can react. Council member Dunn noted that the VBWD hopes to adopt a new management plan for 2005-2015 and will be discussing this plan at its October meetings. Council member Johnston endorsed attendance at the League Conference. He talked to suppliers of wetland treatment vendors, talked to planning firms. He encourages everyone to exercise their right to vote.

The Council adopted a new Fire Ordinance which included the creation of a new Firefighter classification; City Employee/Volunteer Firefighter compensated at an annual stipend of $2500. The new job classification was developed with the advice of the League of MN Cities and reviewed and approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. M/S/P Dunn/Johnston — to approve the hiring of Jim Sachs as a Public Works Employee for the compensation as budgeted and as planned for in the 2004 budget. (Motion passed 4-0.). 5, FINANCE: A. PUBLIC HEARING: Assessments for proposed Unpaid Municipal Utilities. Resolution No. 2004-084 The Finance Director handed out an updated version of unpaid municipal utilities. All of the property owners were sent letters regarding past due municipal utilities balances. Notification of the Public Hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on December 25, 2004.

PUBLIC HEARING: 55`h Street Vacation, Resolution No. 2004-085 Eight residents with property south of and abutting 55`h Street North from 93 feet west of Marquess Trail to east of the 55th Street/Manning intersection have petitioned the City to LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 5, 2004 3 Council member Johnston said he saw the problems it would create for new developments, but this commitment was made, and it is a question of integrity. He supported the street vacation. Council member Dunn agreed it could be a concern for developers and road patterns in the future. She said that the elected officials were going to have to think of the future and make decisions based on that as well as the present even if the decision is not popular. She said she had a concern with density of this development, lots would be small, and the City needs access to the well. They looked at the road and asked what can be done to make it safer. Council member DeLapp said that the road was originally built by Baytown to serve farmers. He said he was happily surprised at the number of residents who were calling the council to check about the future of the road before buying homes in that development. He said he would be in favor of vacating the road if residents would be ready to help cover costs of landscaping and look into trail easements for bike trails. He suggested that a few residents meet with the planner to discuss a plan for the road and how costs will be addressed. Mayor Hunt said he was on the Council when it promised the road would be closed and should follow through with that commitment. He agreed with DeLapp on the process of a few residents meeting with the planner and engineer to come up with a plan dealing with location of driveways, trail and utility easements. Planner Dillerud explained once the street is vacated, the chance of getting it back is gone. He said we never considered the closure of 55`11 street to be the same as the vacation of it. M/S/ DeLapp/Johnston — to adopt Resolution No. 2004-085 to approve the vacation of 5th Street M/S/P DeLapp/Johnston - to amend the motion with additional wording that the vacation of 55th Street is subject to an acceptable plan dealing with delineation of trail, utility easements, driveway location and costs.

(Motion passed 4-0). Chip Longacre, Carol Palmquist/Vince Eilers, who have driveways on the north side, and Gary Sloan will be representatives at the meeting. B. Escrow Reduction: Whistling Valley Phase 1 In his memo dated September 29, 2004, the City Engineer reported that much of the work on Whistling Valley 1 is complete. The final lift of paving and some minor clean up items remain. The City engineer recommended reduction of the Letter of Credit. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 5, 2004 5 statements that don't require a hardship. We have to work with what we have in the Old Village and set different standards for this area. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn - to adopt Resolution 2004-088 denying a side yard setback variance to construct a new garage at 3385 Lake Elmo Avenue based on the Findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 4-0.) The City Council members were in agreement that full replacement of the existing garage in place would be a better solution for the immediate area than repairing the existing structure or removing the building replacement which would not correct the ordinances. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to direct staff to bring modifications to the setback ordinance that would affect properties in the Old Village to the Planning Commission for a recommendation. (Motion passed 4-0.) E. Appointments to Planninc Commission The Council interviewed six candidates for the two current Planning Commission vacancies (1 Full Voting and 1 Alternate). Based on the City Attorney's advice, Council member John's votes, via e-mail, could not be counted because he was not in attendance for the vote. The Council made the following motion after completion of the ranking process of the candidates. M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp — to appoint Thomas P. Armstrong, 8280 15th Street N., as a Full Voting Member of the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 3-1:Johnston) M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp — to appoint Ben Roth, 10819 Third Street Place, as the Second Alternate Member of the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 3-1: Johnston) F. Ordinance No. 97-142: Old Village Moratorium The City Planner advised the Council on September 21 that the Old Village Moratorium expired during the first week of September. Of the three infrastructure investigation that the Council directed before adopting the Old Village Comprehensive Plan amendment that has been recommended by the Village Commission and Planning Commission, the Surface Water Drainage remains to be completed by TKDA. The surface water work has been on hold for several months pending the update of the Valley Branch Watershed District Plan that is underway. That district plan update has not met the schedule that was understood by the City. Staff has advised the City Engineer to proceed with the Old Village Surface Water Plan without further waiting on the District's Plan. The City Engineer has advised that 4-6 weeks would be required to complete hydrologic modeling, and present a draft plan for the Old Village surface water handling. The Planner reported he is aware of at least three owners of undeveloped property within the Old Village Area that are interested in proceeding with development plans in a timely manner. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 5, 2004 8 B. Annoint Replacement for Council. Council member DeLapp said he would like to make modifications to city rules that apply to appoint a replacement for City Council. Attorney Filla explained if the Council member to be replaced has more than 2 years left on his term, the Council can hold a special election. If the term is two years or less the Council can make an appointment or hold a special election. If the vote for the appointment is a tied vote, the Mayor can vote and break the tie. 12. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Council member Johnston recommended reading the article written by Ryan Kathman on the negotiations with the Met Council because Johnston thought this was a much more comprehensive report. Council member Dunn and Mayor Hunt met Vice President Cheney when he attended the Machine Shed Restaurant in Lake Elmo League of MN Cities booth; The Council will not have a booth at the League Conference because it might be sending the wrong message to Peter Bell. The City Administrator indicated there was good progress at the meeting with the Met Council representatives.

Within the City of Lake Elmo, Washington County has a proposed project at the intersection of CSAH 19 & the I-94 North ramps. The project would involve creating a dual left turn and installing a signal. The on/off ramps would also be slightly modified. Local support for projects is important in the selection process. In the attachments is a sample of a resolution the the city council could use if they choose to show thier support of the project. Note that the City of Lake Elmo will not be responsible for the local cost share, as noted in the sample resolution. The second attachment is the existing intersection. The third attachment is a partial outline of the new intersection. The south leg will be modified to reflect what is shown in the fourth attachment.

We have inquired as to the availability and cost of fencing that would meet the present LE standards from two perspectives: pre -built fence panels (generally 8 foot long sections) that can be purchased from Menards, Home Depot or any lumber yard; and, custom built fencing available from several firms that specialize in that product/service. Our findings are as follow: 1. Pre -built panels (whether wood or vinyl) generally come in 48 inch or 72 inch heights. We found only one 42 inch offering — a picket style in vinyl. When the panels are offered with a lattice portion on top, the fence is solid to 54 or 60 inches, and lattice for the upper 12 or 18 inches. Materials prices for the panelized fencing range from $45/panel ($5.62 per running foot) to $80/panel ($10 per running foot). This price range excludes installation — a number not easily garnered from the Home Depots and Menards. We should have that number by the November 3 meeting, however. 2. As one might expect, custom fencing can be had in whatever specification a homeowners desires — or a city mandates. The installed prices will vary based on the complexity of the design, but range between $20 per running foot (for a "Plain Jane" 6 foot solid fence) to $34 per running foot for the more complex design that would include a lattice treatment over the upper "X" feet of the fence. 3. The lattice fence treatment appears to vary somewhat as to degree of "openness" that results. Due to the specifications of the materials used, it appears that the pre -built lattice treatment results in about 57% of the latticed area of the fence open to air and light; and, the heavier -built custom lattice treatment is closer to 47% open to air and light. 4. It appears picket style pre -built panels could meet a 50% open standard - if averaged over the entire fence height, but only (very costly) wrought iron could meet a 75% standard - even with averaging. It is clear from our investigations that a homeowner would not have an option of purchasing pre -built fence panels that would comply with our current fence standards — be it wood or vinyl. The "solid fence" height allowance would need to be 60 inches for even a lattice application (50% open) on the upper portion of the fence using the most common pre -built panels. Subject only to what we find to be the installation costs for the pre -built panels, it appears that our present standards result in mandating custom-built fencing at a significantly higher cost to the homeowner than the pre -built panel fencing. It amounts to the degree of cost the City would impose on homeowners to accomplish the aesthetic and other issues that are compromised by 6 foot solid fencing. We have attached the draft fence ordinance amendments in the same format at presented at the last City Council meeting — with the 50% "open" and "averaging" provisions still in place. Given the foregoing, the Council may wish to increase the allowable height of solid fencing to 48 or 60 inches as well. A height of 60 inches will provide the homeowner maximum flexibility, while the 48 inches will provide a (limited) ability to use pre -built fence panels.

A On May 18th City Council passed Ordinance 97-128 amending section amending 800.02 of the City Code. This change authorized licensed haulers to modify their pick-up schedule for recycling only, from weekly to bi-weekly if single sort collection was provided. Although the ordinance was passed and published, subsequent concerns raised by the members of Enviromnental Commission indicating the ordinance had not been appropriately reviewed by the Commission, the Council asked that the ordinance not be implemented until it was reviewed by the Commission. Since that time, the Environmental Commission has conducted monthly meetings to study the subject matter with guest speakers, an industry tour and participation from the recycling industry providing related information pertinent to an appropriate recommendation. On Wednesday October 27111, at a regular monthly Commission meeting, the Commission voted to recommend to the City Council that Ordinance 97-128, that was passed in May of 2004, be implemented.
