STAFF PRESENT: Planner Dillerud, Administrator Rafferty, Finance Director Bouthilet, and Recording Secretary Schaffel. The Planner distributed updated drafts of the City-wide Planning Policy and Land Use Plan and a Draft Future Land Use Map as recommended by the Planning Commission. The Mayor and Council also distributed handouts regarding their person visions of Plan content/structure. Agenda Mayor Johnston explained guidelines for the Comprehensive Planning process. He said the Planning Commission worked on this plan for two months, the Council will now give their input, and Staff will then be given an opportunity to provide input. M/S/P, Johnson/DeLapp, to accept the Agenda as presented. VO I L: 3:0. The Planner explained the latest history of the Comprehensive Planning process. He gave an overview of the most recent changes. He reported that Motions and directions by the Planning Commission were incorporated in the drafts before the Council with the exception of a few that were inadvertently omitted from the drafts. City-wide Planning Policy The Planner said there has been very little change in the City-wide Planning Policy since its first incarnation before the Planning Commission and City Conned. He noted that previously -listed Land Use Classifications were removed from this version of the document because they are already included in the Land Use Plan text. The Planner said these Land Use and Policy drafts reflect the relationship to the Regional Development Framework. References in a portion of the Land Use Plan specifically explain the planning origins of the Comprehensive Plan. The Old Village Land Use Plan remains the same without changes. The Planner explained that the Regional Development Framework forecasts dwelling units and population for every community in the metropolitan area. That document indicates those levels dropping from 2.92 persons per dwelling units in 2000 to 2.53 in 2030. He reported that the Planning Commission recommendation is to substitute a 2.75 persons -per -dwelling unit ratio for Plan calculations based on the types of dwelling units the Land Use Plan now suggests. He also noted that, to attain the 3,700 unit residential development scale south of 10th Street and maintain the target 2030 population, the Planning Commission recommends increasing RAD density to 18 units per 40 acres; increasing the Old Village Plan scale from 440 to 590; and adding about 240 acres of RAD2 at 1 unit per acre. The PIanner reported, that the Land Use Map Draft has changed considerably as a result of the Planning Commission recommendation. The areas bounding Stonegate and The Forest are now UT areas. The green corridor has been eliminated from the map however, green space will still be picked up as we develop, at least to be consistent with the Trail System Plan. Only four areas of the Land Use Map now correspond to the RAD2 classification, and existing old platted areas will be covered by NC. Mathematically the change amounts to 3,700 new units south of 10th Street;150 units will be RAD2, 150 new units will be added to the Old Village Plan under specific incentive conditions, and 150 additional units will go into RAD. The Planner reported that staging was recommended by the Planning Commission as Back Loading. The Lake Elmo City Council Draft Minutes of April 16, 2005 1 DRAFT Planner explained that major trunk infrastructure investments (primarily water) must be made by the City south of 10`s Street to support any development, and some type of front loading of development appears necessary to prudently finance that infrastructure. Staff believes that a Front Load version of the staging approach will be the best way to accommodate the new infrastructure costs. Mayor Johnston offered a framework for Council vision statements and presentations. He stated that each councilmember's outline for their vision presentation would be attached to the minutes of the meeting.. Councihnember DeLapp said most existing residents want as little change to the City as possible. He presented his ideas for policies. He said he has always been against doubling densities from one large neighborhood compared to the next door neighborhood. He presented an argument for increasing persons per dwelling unit. He recommended the City create or get involved in some social programs to help seniors remain in their homes. He said he is confident that his suggestions are in compliance with the MOU, and will impact our residents as minimally as possible, and that existing residents will be compensated and protected to the extent the can possibly be. Councilmember DeLapp said his plan would allow 100 new units growth per year plus the Old Village and Cimarron. Senior Housing would be through input from residents. The Planner said his first reaction Councilmember DeLapp's Staging Plan is that it is almost the same as that of the Planning Commission recommendation. Councilmember DeLapp said his plan for development would be for rapid growth to appear post 2020. He supports the work done by the Commission on the land use map because it demonstrates it can be done with as little impact to existing residents as possible in the area south of l0a' Street. It would make sense to allow some higher density in a couple of areas in the City north of 10`s Street and close to where the regional sewer is already scheduled. Councihnember Johnson said citizens have clearly expressed the desire to maintain the rural character while protecting all existing residents and neighborhoods. She also said she heard that the area adjacent to I-94 should be an employment area. She stated that there is also a need for senior/life-cycle housing. She said residents have expressed the need to bring parents nearer to us as we care for them; and, that there is also a need for volunteers (such ,as,fire fighters) to have middle income housing. She said there should be no sewer extended to existing homes unless needed or wanted by the existing residents. She said she would like to see a well defined downtown. She said she would like to be sure the Plan is implemented in such a s manner as to ensure that the City is being fiscally responsible while meeting infrastructure needs. She broached the possibility of incentives for senior/disability/middle income housing. She raised concerns for the costs for staffing, infrastructure, emergency services, traffic safety, parks, sewer, and water will have a significant impact. She said she would like to identify a Staging Plan that will be fiscally responsible. She said we must also honor the agreement with the Met Council. Mayor Johnston asked how we would do the financial research. The Mayor called for a recess from 9:29 to 9:39 a.m. Councilmember Conlin offered her vision. She said she would like to look closer at the Front Load recommendation from staff because she would not want to be in a position of a financial crunch. She would like to know where PF-type uses such as public works and a city hall should be located. Councilmember Johnson said she agreed we should look at planning for PF-type uses. Councilmember Conlin said she is extremely satisfied with the excellent work done by the Planning Commission. Lake Elmo City Council Draft Minutes of April 16, 2005 2 DRAFT Mayor Johnston said the Council wants to preserve the rural character of the city in the long tel. in. He said that one risk of concern is that Metropolitan Council members come and go at the pleasure of the sitting governor. A future Metropolitan Council could be better or worse as to relations and expectations for cities. He said there should be no new taxes and no imposed services. Existing residents should not be made to pay assessments or additional taxes for the imposition of this development. He presented five questions that he said he believes will drive the remainder of their process. He asked which of those Staging Plans is least likely to impact on taxes. He would like answer to that question. The Mayor said he disagreed with how the Planning Commission dealt with housing units and he believes it should be looked at as people instead of housing, and how many people should live below 10th Street. He said it is a disservice to those south of 10`s residents if more than 40% of the population is south of 10`s Street. He said it is a question of fairness for that area to be at the upper limit of 40% of population or 9,600 units. He said this question drives everything else. Mayor Johnston asked how much buffering to existing neighborhoods south of 10`s is appropriate. He said 400 to 500 feet between residents is excessive. He said our OP Ordinance specifies only 200 feet of buffering between subdivisions of different densities. The Mayor asked what the shape should be of the non-residential area. He said it should be in the best interest of city residents. He said the best use of the commercial area below 10th Street is employment that meets requirements of qualifications of residents. The non-residential strip along I-94 results in a lot of small parcels. That could be problematic for a large company that might want to move to Lake Elmo. He said that a high technology employer needs more acreage in a single parcel. If we worked with Woodbury, the state could help us in that effort. The Mayor's next question was how much senior housing along I-94 is appropriate. He postulated density incentives for senior housing, and he suggested that ;it:helps to balance the population and minimized impacts in the area below 10th Street. Mayor Johnston said rural character needs to be preserved long term. He said that he would like to see the establishment of a senior community and the creation of middle income housing. No excessive population should be in any one area; and the City should implement the Old Village Plan first. We should consider a family center in the Old Village and housing for the disabled; and creating employment for residents. He said he would also favor creation of a municipal park on Lake Elmo Avenue adjacent to the lake. He observed that Torre Pines and other neighborhoods need as much protection as the south of 10th Street neighborhoods. He said that data suggest that 25% of the City's population will be senior in 2030, and housing stock could be built to 30% senior, and not be excessive. Staging should be done in a cost-effective manner without imposing fees on existing residents. Mayor Johnston said that if the Comprehensive Plan vision adopted today can be blocked in the future by the votes of two council members — as would be the case if specific Plan amendments were required as regional sewer becomes available, that would be a disservice. He also said that staging for employment may require 25 years of planning. Councilmember Conlin asked about the population percentages north and south of 10t° Street on the Mayor's chart. The Mayor said it is unfair to have 60% of the population on 15% of the land as would be the case with the Planning Commission recommended Plan. He said that if the City is thinking of protecting rural character in the long term, then we would be creating a potential problem with that kind of imbalance. Councilmember Smith asked how many total available acres there are north and south of 10`s Street. The Planner said there are 3,325 north and 1,000 acres south, not including the Old Village Plan area. Lake Elmo City Council Draft Minutes of April 16, 2005 3 DRAFT Councilmember DeLapp said he thought it was said that the Metropolitan Council can change the MOU. He asked why we would think there will be even greater demands that could be made in the future. Mayor Johnston said if we have not achieved our development plan by 2030, the Metropolitan Council has the opportunity to ask for new development. If we build out the City at a reasonable pace, the Metropolitan Council will find us less attractive for future land use assignments with development already in place. Councilmember DeLapp said we could do a new Comprehensive Plan for 2020 and an update in 2010. We will know how many people are living here at those points in time. Mayor Johnston said we would need a five year plan for senior housing, and a care facility with assisted living will take about five years to develop. That could take up one-half the land south of 10t Street, but also requires half the time to get to 2030. We want quality development and the time to implement it. If we begin now and do it in chunks of 25% we will end up with quality. He said he does not disagree about wanting to wait until later years for development but development done in an orderly fashion gives the quality we desire. The Mayor said he was thinking about a minimum care facility, independent living, and an active senior facility. He said we are a national leader of OP development, and we could be for senior development. We could well use all 1,000 acres on senior housing, but he would more strongly, support 500 acres for senior living. Councilmember Conlin said baby boom people are getting up in years, and want to be closer to their children, but can't afford to live in Lake Elmo. She said she would like to know how we address wanting such a large percentage of senior housing. The Mayor explained that a proportional percentage of the population would be 25% anyway which is more than 500 acres. He said that would just be providing for our fair share of senior population. Councilmember DeLapp asked what the population percentage is now for seniors in Lake Elmo He said the county allows a mother-in-law apartment if a tat is 2.5 to 10 acres. He suggested that might be a better idea if we allowed such a thing, because seniors are not going to move to the highway area. Mayor Johnston said he would like to see half the land for those two facilities meeting needs of people who live here right now; Every day people are leaving Lake Elmo because they cannot find housing to suit their needs. Councilmember DeLapp said 50 people want senior housing in the Old Village but that is not enough of a reason to build this much senior housing south of 10th Street. Mayor Johnston said that seniors are desirable neighbors. He said they have the lowest impact on traffic and other concerns with their largest impact being in transportation needs and emergency services. The Planner said that in the 2000 Census, 17% of our residents were over 55. Councilmember Conlin stated that when the senior `bubble' dies off there could be a glut of this housing just like when schools get built then are closed. She asked if senior housing is a viable use in the long term, or will it have to be converted in the future. Councilmember DeLapp said we have to look at the median house value in the City. He said we have to assume proportional population for taxes as well. Would such development drive median taxes, then the tax rate has to go up. Mayor Johnston said the assumption is housing is less valuable or below median price. Senior housing is Lake Elmo City Council Draft Minutes of April 16, 2005 4 DRAFT typically above the median price. Councihnember Smith said that she ran numbers and remembered promises made to residents during her campaign. She would like senior housing but she is not sure how much. She is interested in protecting residents south of 10`s Street and buffering them. She would like to band together with like-minded cities to tone down the authority of the Metropolitan Council. She said she looked at the Open Space Preservation options, the Old Village, and south of 10th Street. If we change Old Village Plan to bring that number to 600, it could be viable for downtown. We could make some housing affordable for teachers and firemen. South of 10t Street 3,500 units could be added while protecting Stonegate, The Forest, and Midland Meadows buffered with 1.5 or 2 acre lots. Her numbers come up with a population of 24.000. She said that we do not know where we will be at 2030 with persons per dwelling units and other forecasts of the Metropolitan Council. She would honor the conunitment to keeping the northern part of the city rural in appearance. She would still like to work with other communities as far as the legislature is concerned. She would like the City Planner to argue 2.91 persons per dwelling unit. Mayor Johnston asked what Councilmember Smith's population would be below 10`r Street. Councilmember Smith said even at 12,000 people, she thinks those residents will like the appearance of rural character north of 10th Street. Councilmember Smith said she based it on number of 2.91 we have had for several years. Councilmember DeLapp said the only issue he has with the Smith plan is we could end up at 32,000 instead of 24,000 in population. The Planner said if the Council wants to do the plan at 2.91, they have the right and he will do it that way. We are already forecasted at lesser than average. Councilmember Conlin said if we say 2.91, then what percentage of that is senior housing? What does that do with that ratio? The Planner said that is a good observation, and he has no exact answer. Councilmember DeLapp said that once the City does not have any more undeveloped land, it makes little difference. Once fully developed, it does not matter who is on the Metropolitan Council. Councilmember Smith said that we are going to develop, and if we can, we should go to the legislature to change these numbers. She supports an incremental pace for development. Councilmember DeLapp said in the plan for 2020, we will have twice as much population. Mayor Johnston entertained public input. The Planner said that while there are differences in vision among the Council, the concerns are similar . He asked for specific tasks to help answer their questions. Administrator Rafferty said staff can be helpful with providing some of the information requested. Staff will provide the financial information for infrastructure. How the City develops in conformance with MOU and Rural Development Framework will be the Council's interpretation and decision. Fine tuning of the ideas like senior or not, green space or not, and how subdivisions will be buffered will be their decision. He said it is critical that we have the financial resources for the necessary infrastructure. The Mayor recessed for 10 minutes and reconvened at 11:17 a.m. Lake Elmo City Council Draft Minutes of April 16, 2005 5 DRAFT Direction Administrator Rafferty said there are four documents that are critical pieces where the Planning Commission spent a lot of time. Specific future tasks should be related to those documents to help come to the necessary conclusions. What information does Council need that they currently do not have? Councilmember Conlin said in addition to the other information, she would also like the Land Use Map designating areas for PF and criteria for it. She said we was not just talking about churches, but also what does the City need to do to accommodate growth such as a maintenance garage, library, schools, churches, etc. The Planner said the city addressed PF uses, parks, private recreational in terms of standards within the zoning ordinances. Councilmember Conlin said there remains a question as to how many public use buildings are needed, and where it would be appropriate to locate those sites in the City. Councilmember Johnson said she would like staff input on staging for financial/infrastructure. She would like to see what the City needs in terms of funds if we were to implement any one of these four staging plans. Councilmember DeLapp asked what kinds of impact the Council is talking about for this development to grow to 24,000 people in terms of roads, water, services, etc. Mayor Johnston said that if the City is developed properly, it won't cost existing residents. One way he would not want to see is to put in a water system and build 50 units per year resulting in general tax revenue having to pay the bill for that infrastructure since not enough trunk connection revenue would be generated. Councilmember DeLapp said that no development until 2020 would tighten up that need below 10th Street. Mayor Johnston said he believes the best way is straight line development. M/S/P, DeLapp/Conlin, to pick a number between 2.91 to 3.0 persons per dwelling unit rather than 2.75 for planning purposes. The Planner said relative to discussions, 2.53 for 2030 is in the Regional Development Framework, and he was uncomfortable with that number. He spoke with senior staff at Metropolitan Council and they spent Last weekend discussing it, and came back with 2.75 but they did not say it officially. He suggested that the City comes back with 2.91 or 3.0 he does not feel it will get approval by Metropolitan Council. Councilmember Conlin said we could argue 2.91 successfully. If we concentrate heavily on senior, we don't have a prayer. If we come back with middle income housing we could meet it just like Woodbury does. Councilmember Smith agreed 2.91 is arguable. She said she thinks we can do it and show it. Mayor Johnston said this is not the right time to make that decision. He would like to look at the downside risk of using 2.91. There is a risk about asking a question that could lead us ultimately to 2.5. He suggested doing otherwise could be a rush to judgment. The Planner suggested an interim solution, rather than just grabbing a number. See if staff can come up with a way of arguing it successfully. Lake Elmo City Council Draft Minutes of April 16, 2005 6 DRAFT Administrator Rafferty said he is comfortable with what the Planner suggested. Mayor Johnston and Councilmember Johnson also agreed, and she would like to see the layout of that too. Councilmember Smith 3.5 might be going for the gold, but that 2.91 does not seem too much. She does not think the Metropolitan Council would punish us for asking for it. Mayor Johnston asked for a withdrawal of the motion pending staff s report. Councilmember Johnson said she supports the highest number possible, but wants to be sure it is defendable. MOTION AMENDED: Councilmember DeLapp said he wants to base the city's number of persons per dwelling units to be consistent with housing types. Find out what the population changes were for new housing in the last five years and extend that out. M/S/P, DeLapp/Conlin to direct staff to investigate 2.91 persons per dwelling unit and see if there is a basis for planning that way. VOTE: 5:0. M/S/P, DeLapp/Conlin, to make the second and third items on upcoming April 20 Agenda the two sets of questions. The first item on the Agenda will be the staff preparation items. VOTE: 5:0. Councilmember Conlin said she reviewed the language in the Land Use Plan, and replaced some of it with more concise Language. She said she removed some rhetorical language. She distributed her draft to the Council and staff. The Planner said calendar issues with regard to Comprehensive Plan submission should be known by Tuesday evening. Adjourn 11.54 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Kimberly Schdtfel Recording Secretary. Lake Elmo City Council Draft Minutes of April 16, 2005 7 DRAFT City of Lake Elmo City Council Meeting Minutes of April 20, 2005 Mayor Johnston called to order the meeting of the Lake Elmo City Council at 6:00 p.m. COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Conlin, Smith, Johnson, and DeLapp. STAFF PRESENT: Administrator Rafferty, Planner Dillerud, Finance Director Bouthilet, City Engineer Prew, and Recording Secretary Schaffel. ALSO PRESENT: Planning Commission Chairman Helwig and Planning Commissioners Roth and Sessing. Agenda M/S/P, Conlin/Johnson, to modify the Agenda by removing Liz, Anne, and Rita's proposals and removing Item No. 4. VOTE: 5:0. M/S/P, Johnson/Conlin, To accept the Agenda as modified. VOTE: 5:0. Report on Persons Per Dwelling Unit The Planner responded to the query regarding persons per dwelling unit. The Planner analyzed the 2000 census data and construction in Lake Elmo since 2000. The result of that analysis is that persons per dwelling unit are currently about 2.98 city-wide. With review of forecasts with new development scenarios as recommended by the Planning Commission, the persons per dwelling unit comes to about 2.83. He said that when he looked at different Land Uses while forecasting new development such as by using the Mayor's plan, the persons per dwelling unit comes to 2.89. The Mayor noted that this scenario only represents one -quarter of Senior Housing. Councilmember DeLapp said the persons per dwelling unit for Senior Housing should average fewer than 2.0. The Planner said he does not believe the city can logically sustain many more persons per dwelling unit than 2.89. Councilmember Smith asked if it is safe to assume that the more Senior Housing we develop, the more overall units we will have to generate the population required and the persons per dwelling unit. The Planner said that is a safe assumption. Improvement Costs North and South — Water/Sewer Administrator Rafferty responded to the query regarding staging of development and infrastructure costs. Staff worked with the City Engineer to be sure the numbers were current for water north and south and for sewer north and south. The compiled growth numbers have been translated into dollars as costs for infrastructure and anticipated revenues. The Administrator presented estimated infrastructure costs North and South. The information presented estimates potential revenues from unit growth connections. Water and sewer enterprise fund, tax implication to existing residents. These numbers reflect what developers will have to pay, not what residents will have to pay. Councilmember DeLapp The Administrator noted there is an assumption in the connection fees for SAC that increases SAC fees from $1850 to $4500. Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of April 20, 2005 DRAFT The Mayor pointed out that the increase in SAC Fee is still one-half what we would charge for wetland treatment system hookups. Administrator Rafferty explained that we are currently in the middle of the northern Water Expansion Project. He explained where 700 new hookups have been projected to come from. The estimated hookups are spread across ten years in the examples presented. The estimated staging of hookup generates capital replacement money. It does not account for people near the pipe who might also wish to hook up. Mayor Johnston said the whole thing is set up so people who aren't getting water do not have to pay for it. Administrator Rafferty explained that these are estimates for Water Expansion South based on today's costs. These figures are based on 1,000 REC units. Finance Director said Water and Sewer are an Enterprise Fund. Enterprise Funds can be established to make money, lose money, or break even. The numbers before us are estimated. Should those costs increase, we would have to raise the money in another way. Finance Director said that within the Fee Schedule, the city has the right to make adjustments but those numbers must be justifiable. MOTION: DeLapp, to accept public input tonight. FAILED FOR A SECOND. Review of Dean's Proposal Staging Plan Councilmember Johnson said based on information received tonight it becomes apparent we need some sort of "initial bump." Then she would like to see a straight line approach after that bump. Councilmember Conlin said she is inclined to agree. Mayor Johnston said Council is responsible for juggling conflicting concerns. One thing he heard from residents was development should have a minimum impact on schools, traffic, etc. Another was minimum impact on taxes. Not all of these are compatible. Senior Housing was also a request he heard. Seniors are minimal impact. He suggested that type of development would help to resolve the conflict between development and impact. Councilmember Smith is in favor of senior housing but would like to see an independent study indicating how much senior housing is needed before she commits to a certain number of senior units. She said she spent an hour at Boutwell's Landing and they did the homework for capacity and need. If we can sustain numbers, she would be in favor of it. Councilmember DeLapp said there would be zero cost to existing residents if we delay as far out as possible. Mayor Johnston said if we have to add 5,000 to 6,000 units of housing, it might take five years to plan it. If we meet needs of community and try to get a quality product we cannot wait until the last minute. The result will be better in a straight line fashion. Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of April 20, 2005 2 DRAFT Councilmember DeLapp said the city's property values continue to grow based on how we have developed over the Last 30 years. Nothing in our agreement says we cannot wait for the next governor or next Met Council. M/S/F, DeLapp/Johnston, to choose the Met Council Staging Plan as best for protecting our existing residents. Mayor Johnston said he would be much more comfortable with a range of plus or minus 10%. DeLapp said he based his idea upon the REC units in the graph or on the Total Sewered Residents at 2010, 2020 and 2030. Councilmember Smith asked about the payoff in ten years. Administrator Rafferty said the ten years was assumed to predict infrastructure, costs and development revenues. He stated that it could be stretched out for 15 years Administrator Rafferty said if we put in interest, the entire model must be adjusted If we go five years down the road, construction will be much higher. We need to bow when we would begin. Mayor Johnston said developers don't pay anything when you get down to it. Expenses put on them are passed on as additional cost to the new homeowners. He said he agrees and advocates self-supporting development but objects to not caring about passing costs to new residents. Councilmember Conlin said she is not prepared, to vote on the motion. Administrator Rafferty said the model suggest that some front load would be helpful. Councilmember DeLapp saw every plat since 1985. If Old Village develops, we don't have to worry about the front load bump for infrastructure costs. When Carriage Station was developed, 100% of the costs were paid by the residents there. He sees no argument for development before 2020 other than in the Old Village.., Mayor Johnston said staff is in a better position to come up with this proposal. VOTE: 1:4 Nay -Johnston, Johnson, Smith, and Conlin. FAILED. M/S/F, Johnson/Johnston,To;direct staff to come back with information on Saturday utilizing the table of fee structures and converting it into a cohesive document that will combine variables into another Staging Plan. Councilmember DeLapp said he has not discussed his points that are pertinent to this motion. He would prefer not to vote at this time. Councilmember Smith and Councilmember Conlin both said they were uncomfortable with voting without sufficient information at this time. Mayor Johnston would like to see the staff come back consistent with the input. VOTE: 1:4, Nay -Johnston, Conlin, Smith, DeLapp. FAILED. M/S/P, Conlin/DeLapp, to close the meeting at 9:00 p.m., and limit the length of Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of April 20, 2005 3 DRAFT Comprehensive Planning meetings in the future as well. Councilmember Conlin said she would like to take this time to present views and later make up our minds individually and take a vote. She would like to hear concise statements and eliminate redundancy. VOTE: 4:1 Johnston. Population south of le Street Councilmember DeLapp pre-2020 the number should be zero. We need to demonstrate ability to accommodate that housing. Without housing units and time frames we have all the information we need. This is the wrong question. Mayor Johnston said 15% of area is south of 10th Street, Met Council says it must be developed at 3 units per acre over 1,000 acres by 2030 and sewered area includes the Old Village. He said that beyond that the MOU is silent. However, we have to come up with a Comp Plan through 2030. M/S/P, Smith/DeLapp, to direct staff to bring in graphs and documentation that supports the numbers and move to Item 3 on the Agenda. Councilmember Johnson said she would like to see what the Council will need to move the discussion forward on Saturday. Mayor Johnston thinks we could make progress but we need to discover what is missing from the information before them Administrator Rafferty said there might be need for the staging model to be integrated with the financial model. Councilmember DeLapp CALLED THE QUESTION. VOTE: 3:1:1 Nay -Johnston, Abstafin-Johnson- not fully understanding the Rules of Order. VOTE: 4:1 Johnston. Buffering Councilmember Conlin said the Planning Conunission dealt with this extensively. She agrees with that because it is well considered. She would choose that option. Councilmember Smith said she remembered discussions about removing green space and creating larger lots. She also supports that. Councilmember Johnson asked if it would be the same north of 106 Street. Councilmember Conlin said below 10th Street is a unique circumstance. MOTION: Smith, to choose the Planning Commission's proposal for buffering existing residential subdivisions below 10's Street. WITHDRAWN. Shape of Non-residential Area The Mayor explained potential of the planned strip versus a single large site for commercial Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of April 20, 2005 4 DRAFT development. He reported discussion with Woodbury to develop a single 1000 acres non- residential green field site. Councilmember Conlin thinks the Planning Commission should have reviewed this. This would be a substantial deviation from their plan. She would be willing to have them look at it on Monday. Councilmember DeLapp said if a large site on the east is a good, a large site on the west would be good. He said we should wait to vote. Councilmember Johnson said the one site has some merit especially if we could work with Woodbury. Thinks it would be important to have input from the Planning Commission. Councilmember Smith said the Draft Future Land Use Map shows commercial development bounded by higher density development. The Planning Commission came up with this Land Use Plan and arranged it that way. Councilmember DeLapp said that if we have the Largest population in the most undesirable location of our city that makes little sense. Councilmember Conlin asked what if that big corporation pulls out, what is the city left with. Mayor Johnston said a large company could have satellite businesses supporting it but it might require 1000 acres. Councilmember Smith said the Planning Commission buffered all residential developments from I-94. It would be loud to live down there. Councilmember DeLapp said all 3M operations in Twin Cities are on 500 acres. It took 15 years to develop the first few acres of Corporate'Wooda and it will be twenty years before it is done. It is a wonderful model. Councilmember Smith pointed out that Corporate Woods is a strip rather than a single site. M/S/P, DeLapp/Johnson, to send the issue of the shape of non-residential development below 10a' Street to the Planning Commission for review. VOTE: 5:0. Senior Housing The Mayor argued in favor of senior housing. Councilmember DeLapp said he likes active seniors to go to areas of twin homes or detached townhomes. Lake Elmo is family oriented and would not want to age restrict neighborhoods. Councilmember Smith said she would disagree with all the housing being senior. That would be unfair to existing residents. She would like the coordinator of Boutwell's Landing to talk to the City Council. She would like to see a study. Councilmember Conlin said she would like a mix of housing so there is something affordable there. Some senior would be appropriate, and some assisted living but not to the extent of what is being presented. Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of April 20, 2005 5 DRAFT Councilmember Johnson population below 10`h around 40% was discussed by the Planning Commission with some senior housing She believes one-third to one-half based on the need would be a good percentage. It is needed and will be needed for the next 25 years. She said our residents want senior housing in the Old Village. They want to bring their own parents closer to them. Mayor Johnston believes the existing residents want no impact, 400-500 feet of buffer, and dosing of roads. Senior housing would be low impact. Councilmember Conlin discussed the Agenda for Saturday. o Steve's presentation and then the other proposals. o Add Marty's items for that next agenda. o Number of occupants per dwelling unit. M/S/P, Conlin/Johnson, To direct Administrator Rafferty to draft Saturday's Agenda to include the presentations by Councilmember DeLapp and remaining councilmembers, charts, staging (north and south), population, and number or occupants per dwelling unit. VOTE: 5:0. M/S/P, Johnston/Johnson, to direct staff to write to the Metropolitan Council that we are delayed, working diligently, and that the City Council anticipates accomplishing the goals in a few more weeks. VOTE: 5:0.

ALSO PRESENT: Former Councilmember Wyn John and Planning Commissioner Sedro. Agenda Move Item 4 to Item 2. Add Meeting Process, Decision Making Process, and add 4.1 Direction to Staff and 4.2 Meeting Schedule. M/S/P, Johnson/DeLapp, to accept the Agenda as amended. VOTE: 5:0. This meeting will be replayed on Cable Channel 16 Tuesday at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Mayor Johnston and the Council agreed they would allow Planning Commissioners to have input at these Comprehensive Planning meetings. Meeting Process The Mayor suggested more closely following Rules of Procedure during meetings. Councilmember Conlin said she would be more in favor of self discipline and limiting comments by being focused. Administrator and Planner's Combined Chart for Staging Option B — Back Load The Planning Commission reviewed four scenarios and adopted the Back Loaded Staging. Staff incorporated those into a financial model. The Planner said that in the scenario recommended by the Planning Commission, the Old Village has an advantage. That scenario just meets the Metropolitan Council requirements. Financial responsibility is critical to this type of development. Ad Valorem Taxes pay for city operating costs which are generated by real estate tax bills. He said that using that Staging Plan results in more front loading to meet capital needs. The Old Village is still central to this staging plan. Administrator Rafferty said that Infrastructure Financing is based on a ten-year scenario. Tax Revenue is used for capital equipment, staffing, operations, and infrastructure. Water Expansion North assumes an increase to WAC and SAC Fees. If the proposed tower is relocated, presented figures will have to change. In addition those figures do not include interest Councilmember Conlin asked if Lake Elmo's proposed WAC and SAC Fees are similar to other cities. The Planner said ours are on the high side. The Finance Director said the city has a right to charge what is necessary in WAC Fees with reasonable justification. Councilmember Conlin pointed out that this revenue is all from new construction. Administrator Rafferty said OP Units are not included in the North although it is anticipated some will be added to city water. The Water Expansion South does not begin until about 2011. Again, interest rate is included in the calculations, and construction costs do not account for inflation. Sewer North includes about 70 homes in the Old Village hooking up. Based on SAC Charges collected over time, it is anticipated the city will be able to recover its costs. Mayor Johnston asked what happens if Cimarron chooses not to hook up to sewer and some other units Lake Elmo City Council Meeting Minutes of April 23, 2005 1 DRAFT are not added. Administrator Rafferty said Cimarron is South Sewer and is not projected at this time. Councilmember DeLapp said health and safety drives the necessity for the Old Village to hook up to sewer. Administrator Rafferty said the model developed has not addressed costs for existing homes in the Old Village to hook up to sewer. The model has anticipated new development Councilmember Smith said it will cost less to hook up to sewer than to create an ISTS. Councilmember Conlin asked how difficult it would be to factor in some of these variables not addressed such as increased construction costs, what we might do if we were approached with a good commercial project, and increasing WAC and SAC Fees. Administrator Rafferty said that can be done but staging requirements would change and be increased. The next model does address some of what Councilmember Conlin requested. Administrator Rafferty said the fundamental decision is how many units will be permitted to be built, and over a certain period of time. Option A — Fiscal Model The Planner said when dealing with development below 10th Street we have to look at the water infrastructure cost which is unavoidable. This option adopts a different staging approach from the Planning Commission's recommendation. Sewer is increased substantially with both south and north getting sewer concurrently. It is wise to have reserve when planning major infrastructure because we cannot predict the economy. This option has more development on the front end to get those funds in reserve. A good deal of front loading has to do with getting water infrastructure completed south of 10t6 Street. Councilmember DeLapp asked if commercial and public facilities in the Old Village are included in the figures. The Planner said they are not. The front loading south of 10th Street does not include commercial development. Commercial development south could pay for the water infrastructure needs in that area. He said that persons per dwelling unit are calculated for these models at 2.75. Administrator Rafferty said this plan has the same assumptions of no interest, flat tax rate, number of units, etc. as the other model. Whenever development occurs south of 10th Street, water infrastructure must be completed. This plan insures enough front loading to pay for the necessary infrastructure. This plan does not include development beyond 10 years. This option would bring in about one-third more Ad Valorem tax. Development occurs simultaneously north and south and does not include OP development. Decision Making Process Mayor Johnston said the Council is used to making a final decision while the Planning Commission is used to reviewing, re -reviewing, in an iterative process. He suggested that the Council may not want to wait for the perfect decision. Councilmember Conlin said we must be consistent. Mayor Johnston said reconsideration for the good of the city is good process. The Mayor called a recess for 10 minutes and called to order the assembly at 9:37 a.m. Councilmember Proposals Councilmember DeLapp presented a graph of what the Planning Commission proposes for dealing with Metropolitan Council requirements. The angle of growth for the new expansion in the Old Village bumps Lake Elmo City Council Meeting Minutes of April 23, 2005 2 DRAFT at the front end and gradually increases then tapers off with less growth from 2020 to 2030. He then explained his document entitled, "Key Policies of the Lake Elmo Comp Plan for 2005." His plan would back load development but allow approvals for specific attractive developments. In order to equalize property values, he would suggest a Transfer of Density Program. He would like the residents' choice of staging for future development to prevail. Mayor Johnston said he is in favor of meeting minimum requirements but not only the minimum because he is concerned about good financial management. Councilmember Johnson said the Regional Development Framework does not take into account individual city infrastructure needs, and staff has provided that information to us. She is concerned with what our city needs to build based upon what is required of us. Councilmember Conlin said she grees with the spirit of meeting minimum requirements. Councilmember Smith agreed but feels there is another part, the financial concern that is not addressed by this proposal. MOTION: DeLapp, to support item No. 1 of his document. MOTION FAILED FOR A SECOND. Councilmember Smith said she did not believe it was time for motions and decisions until all the councilmembers have a chance to have their items reviewed. Administrator Rafferty said the number of 113Ds (how much housing and when it will be constructed) are the decisions that must be made in this process. The Planner said that if the interpretation is that we can develop north of 10th Street at any density we wish, it could be an incorrect interpretation. He said he recalled that at 2030 the 1,830 units for infill or environment were not at 3 units per acre. He thought new sewered development was at 3 per acre. Mayor Johnston said that if any plan shows at least 3,700 units south of 10th Street the point is moot. Councilmember DeLapp said his proposal reserves land north and south to be used as reservoirs for future consideration because we do not know all those numbers and concerns until 2018. Mayor Johnston said the risk is that the situation could be worse than better when we have attractive options before us now. The Planner said sewered development must be at three units per acre. The concession we got from the Met Council was that post 2030 units such as failing system of OP units would be allowed to hook up at lower densities. Administrator Rafferty said there was discussion of that silence with the Metropolitan Council on the MOU but the agreement was moved forward to finalize it. Councilmember DeLapp said if it is silent you don't have to do it; we have to read between the lines. Councilmember Conlin asked to move forward to item number 3. Item 3 is an issue that will not be decided today so we should move forward. She said she disagreed with Item 4 that 3.0 persons per dwelling unit can be successfully defended. Mayor Johnston agreed about the importance of the persons per dwelling unit, and is concerned with the Post 2020 Reserve as not being something the Metropolitan Council will approve. Councilmember Smith said 3.0 could be argued some time in the future but not at this time. That number Lake Elmo City Council Meeting Minutes of April 23, 2005 3 DRAFT should be monitored as we develop. Councilmember Smith said she is a proponent of converting OP density from .4 to .5 units per acre to relieve pressure below 10th Street. She believes the Planning Commission came up with three baskets to accept some of the units. Councihmember DeLapp exited the building at 10:26 a.m. The Planner said the Planning Commission came up with the three buckets in order to reduce the number of units south of 10th Street. Councilmember Johnson said she is concerned for the needs of the community and the need for the capital for infrastructure. Mayor Johnston said he would be in favor of some sort of internal study to look at the senior housing market. Councilmember Conlin said she would be in favor of that too but would Iike it to be a local market study. Councilmember Smith said she would like staff to look at the numbers and does not think it is a long process just a question of demographics. Maxfield Research already has some information available. Administrator Rafferty recommended committee look at it but did not feel it was fundamental to the decision. Senior housing will be a component, how much will be based on market studies but even more on market forces at play. Mayor Johnston said he does not feel it should go to committee when they are sitting as a full Council. He said the Council wants some concrete information before spending money on a study. Councilmember DeLapp returned and took a seat at the Table at 10:47 p.m. Planning Commissioner Sedro said LaneKendig thought those aress'around the Old Village did not include enough property to make TDR work successfully. She said she thought that if we included other properties it could become worthwhile. The meeting recessed at 10:49 p.m. and reconvened at.,11:00 a.m. Councilmember Johnson summarized points in her proposal. Staging will be a vital piece of this Comprehensive Plan, and she said it is important to look at needs for infrastructure, maintaining a flat tax rate, understanding all the documents pertinent to the direction of the Comprehensive Planning while remembering those documents do not go down to the city level. She said the vital decision is to eliminate financial impact to existing residents. She said she would support a true downtown and the Old Village and protecting existing residents. She said the primary issues are staging and senior housing. Councilmember Conlin when looking at the Land Use Map she would like to know what we are planning with reference to senior housing, where we are planning it, and the densities in which it is built. She asked if it is necessary to indicate in the Comprehensive Plan where and how much senior housing. Mayor Johnston said if we plan 3.7 units per acre south of 10th Street there is no issue, the market will take care of it. Senior housing will take care of itself. It needs no further definition for him. Councilmember DeLapp said it is an issue if it is in senior housing because then we must displace 2 occupants per house to the north and we have to replace that density elsewhere such as in OP development. Units X Occupants = Units X Occupants. It is a key issue. Mayor Johnston asked staff if we plan 3.7 per acre and 2.9 per residence is that enough? The Planner said if we use the Planning Commission plan, which equates to three buckets north. If we do Lake Elmo City Council Meeting Minutes of April 23, 2005 4 DRAFT not specify they are senior and they become senior, we have to make that adjustment down the road. He said if the recommended plan works for the Council, we have made significant progress. Councilmember DeLapp suggested Looking at it as 2.9 across the city, then during analysis and meeting with people, we determine X amount of sewered senior below 10`s Street. Then we could automatically increase the density of OP north of 10`s Street. Mayor Johnston said he agreed with that concept. RAD2 could also be used for that purpose. The Planner said we may have to adjust the buckets down the road. If it is 1,000 units we might have to make some choices but if it is only 100 units of senior housing, we may not have to worry at all. Councilmember Johnson said if part of the 3,700 becomes senior, wouldn't that have to be made up south of 10th Street. The Planner said it will not have to be head count north and south, the issue will be how we reach 24,000. If we have a great deal of low occupancy south of 10th we will have to make adjustments for it. Councilmember Smith said with the infrastructure financing options, we should focus on downtown. She said the city has worked on that plan for years, and we have the opportunity to make the OV exactly what we want it to be to make it flow and function and attractive. Councilmember DeLapp said a simple algebraic formula allows us to come up with 24,000 population. 1.5Xdu, 3.2 X du and X du=24,000. Councilmember Conlin suggested removing the specifics about senior housing in the city-wide planning policy, and to add a component for disabled housing that is not addressed in there. She said she provided concise edits to the policy statements to simplify and remove opinions and rhetoric, and they did not alter the details. Councilmember DeLapp said Councilmember Smith's wishes for the Old Village to be placed on the front burner. We need to decide what we are trying to accomplish. Recommended changes from the Planning Commission Mayor Johnston said one of his concerns is the housing for middle income professionals and sees RAD2 as the answer to that. He would like to see exactly where it happens. Perhaps more units could go into that bucket rather than an equal split. Councilmember DeLapp said at 2.9 that could be a dead issue. We only need to make up 450 units. He does not see putting in that type of housing without substantially subsidizing it. Councilmember Smith said that houses on one acre in Lake Elmo will not be affordable anymore. Lots in OP begin at $250,000. She would like some affordable housing in the Old Village core for young people. RAD2 will not solve the city's problem for affordable housing. Councilmember Johnson said the city-wide planning policy does include a statement for moderate income. Persons with challenges are also in there. Direction to Staff Mayor Johnston suggested to staff to bring back a policy, staging, a Land Use Plan and the maps to go with it. Councilmember Conlin said in her last direction to staff she asked them to bring back something about Public Facilities to include suitable areas for planning for city facilities along with a statement in the plan Lake Elmo City Council Meeting Minutes of April 23, 2005 5 DRAFT explaining rhyme and reason for those locations and to include churches. It should be addressed because we get requests for churches every so often. We should have a basis for our decisions. She said it may be too specific to be placed on the map. She said if an application requires a comp plan amendment we should plan for it. Councilmember DeLapp said it is difficult to empathize with applicants when they are applying for PF which means prison, jail, detention, high school, etc. We should make that differentiation. Mayor Johnston said he agrees we should specify places of worship to be specific, and not place it on the map. Councilmember DeLapp suggested saying something like, "Within these zoning categories places of worship are allowed by conditional use, and here are the provisions to be applied to prisons, etc." Planner said it could be done in the zoning part of it, and PF could be allowed in other districts based on a CUP. Councilmember DeLapp said he would prefer a three vote CUP instead of a 4 vote Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Administrator Rafferty said there will be four elements for the Council at the next meeting. Councilmember DeLapp would like to decide a realistic number for persons per dwelling unit. The Planner said he did not think he could go to 2.75 when Metropolitan Council already wants to lower to 2.53. o Staging from PZ or Fiscal o Policy o Land Use Plan o Maps Agenda - Land Use Map changes for understanding. Councilmember DeLapp said the types of housing we choose will determine the persons per dwelling unit. Councilmember Conlin said the next meeting is when we should begin to make decisions. Councilmember Smith and Mayor Johnston agreed. Councilmember Smith said if we are considering RAD2, staff should show any and all areas on a map, and let the Council choose where they should be. Councilmember Conlin said when we have statistics supporting a higher number of persons per dwelling unit, we can go and request a higher number. Councilmember Smith said in 2000 and 2005 we were 2.91; Woodbury is 2.79. The Planner said the difference between 2.91 and 2.75 is very little as in the three buckets. If you look at 3 or higher we have to look again at the Land Use Plan Map. The task will not be very difficult at 2.91. M/S/P, DeLapp/Smith, to use 2.91 persons per dwelling unit in our Comprehensive Plan. VOTE: 5:0. Councilmember DeLapp said we are not locking ourselves or future councils from downsizing it in the future as more information is received or circumstances change. M/S/P, Johnson/Johnston, to set the next special meeting dates as Saturday, April 30 at 8:00 a.m. Lake Elmo City Council Meeting Minutes of April 23, 2005 6 DRAFT and Monday May 2 at 6:00 p.m. VOTE: 5:0.

VOTE: 4:1, Nay - DeLapp — Based on intent to change the language of the MOU in order to accelerate growth. M/S/F, Johnston/DeLapp, to amend the Memorandum of Understanding to add the REC units in the Regional Development Framework as acknowledgment of minimum numbers. Administrator Rafferty said the Memorandum of Understanding cannot be amended but Council could say they support or accept numbers specified in other documents. The Planner said he believes the Water Resources is the controlling entity with regard to REC units. He said the Regional Development Framework specifies population requirements. Councilmember Conlin asked if the Motion supports what the Planning Commission proposed. The Planner said it does, and there is nothing in the MOU that supports dwelling units and there is no 2010 number or 2020 number. Those are "To Be Determined." Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of 04/30/05 1 DRAFT Councilmember Johnson said she does not wish to lock in 2010 or 2020 numbers.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MODIFICATIONS The Planner introduced the draft of the Land Use Platt incorporating edits from Councilmembers Johnson and Conlin. Councilmember Smith said that 9,500 households referred to in the Draft should be reduced due to the persons per dwelling unit being changed to 2.91. The difference could be 500 households from the 8,750 households that the Planning Commission reconiinended. 'The Planner said he could remove the reference to households altogether.' Councilmember DeLapp said be would like the numbers to be included. The document was changed t6 read "approximately 8,250." M/S/F, Conlin/Johnson, To delete the second through fourth paragraph on Page 1. VOTE: 2:3, Smith, Johnston, DeLapp FAILED. The Planner said the FSD portion would unacceptable to the Metropolitan Council because the 4/5 vote of the Council means that the Laud Use PIan classifications could conceivably be denied by a simple majority of the Council. Some sort of automatic change of land use classification and zoning must be incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan. When the Staging Plan allows development because the sewer will arrive, then the Land Use Classification will change. Comtnissioner Roth said the 4/5 City Council vote provisions was put into the Land Use text prior to input from the Metropolitan Council. Commissioner Sessing asked if a super majority is required does that mean a Comprehensive Plan Amendment is also required, and if it does he would like the 4/5 vote to stay. Commissioner Armstrong said the 4/5 vote in the text was not intended to evade the MOU. When rezoning occurs, a landowner gains more rights than what he had before. The idea was to know that the City had a good quality application before the automatic rezoning occurred. Properties do not rezone automatically, it always requires a Council direction. Minnesota Statutes indicate a 4/5 vote for rezoning. Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 2, 2005 1 DRAFT He said the Planning Commission did not want the tail to wag the dog. Automatic rezoning would allow some development we might not want to accept. Councilmember Conlin asked if automatic changes to new zoning means the city must accept a plat application before them. The Planner said if an application meets the standards of the Code, the city must approve it. However, those standards [night be set as high as the City desires , as is already the case with OP standards. The Mayor said the process does not end with the Comprehensive Plan. Within 9 months we have to rezone to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Standards can be changed at any time. The Planner said Staging is usually done by setting numbers of units per year first and then geographically by gravity sewer districts. Councilmember DeLapp said we only need 200 sewered units in five years and 1500 by 2020. He would like to only meet minimum requirements and plan for sewer only in the Village Area and Cimarron. Mayor Johnston said with present staff we have constructed as many as 150 new homes in City in a single year. M/S/P, Johnston/DeLapp, To comply with the Metropolitan Council and remove the statement regarding the 4/5 vote under FSD in Land Use Classifications, and craft some words relative to the Staging Plan as a trigger for land use reclassification from FSD. Amend: DeLapp, Not intended in any way that the city supports the acceleration of new sewer outside of the Village and no intention to force staging south of 10` Street. AMENDMENT FAILED FOR A SECOND. VOTE: 3:2, Nay — DeLapp, Smith - 4/5 vote will not be difficult to get in the future, and we are worrying needlessly about what a future Council will do for future residents. The Planner explained the purpose of Urban Transition. Councilmember Johnson asked if UT wasn't needed for protection of Cimarron. Commissioner Lyzenga said Cimarron is already buffered by the golf course so it was not necessary. Councilmember DeLapp said no Future Land Use Plan is required of the Council. He suggested labeling Post 2020 Urban Development and leaving it at that. Mayor Johnston asked why the SRD classifications are limited to the area south of 10°i Street. The Planner said there was no reason other than north of 10°i has been assumed to remain unsewered except for the Village Area to this point. M/S/P, DeLapp/Smith, Not to consider, in the Comprehensive Plan, any new sewer in Lake Elmo north of 10th Street outside of the Village Area. The Mayor said that with persons per dwelling unit of 2.91 there are a lot of residents planned below 10°i Street. Councilmember Smith said the difference is only 500 units from what the Planning Commission recommended at 2.75 persons per dwelling unit , and we have demonstrated how those units could be accommodated by RAD2, increased RAD density and extra units to the Village Plan.. Commissioner Lyzenga said it is an exercise in futility to try to create affordable housing in Lake Elmo, which enhances the value of keeping Cimarron. VOTE: 4:1, Nay — Johnston. Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 2, 2005 2 DRAFT At 7:22 p.m., The Mayor reconvened the meeting after a five minute recess. Commissioner Roth asked if there should be minimum lot sizes in the Urban Transition to protect existing residents. Councilmember DeLapp said lot size control could be done in zoning, and it does not have to be done in the Land Use text. Commissioner Fliflet said the reason the Urban Transition definition is vague is because the Planning Commission could not decide the specifics. Councilmember Johnson said `comparable to scale and design" sends a clear message of what we want in the Urban Transition area. Commissioner Sessing suggested "Rural" Transition rather than "Urban" since it better defines the purpose of protecting the existing density from an area of higher density. M/S/P, Smith/DeLapp, to change the name Urban Transition to Rural Transition. VOTE: 5:0. Councilmember DeLapp said there should be a statement regarding specific amounts of parks south of 10`s Street proportionate to what exists in the remainder of the City today. The Mayor agreed that a specific amount of land should be dedicated to parks, perhaps above and beyond what is normally required of developers. The Planner said 10% park dedication is required in our Subdivision Code. The laying out of Parks is a component of the Parks System Plan not the Land Use Plan. The Mayor suggested that PF requires a great deal of work. The county owns land zoned PF that is intended for parks but could conceivably be used for other purposes by the current PF definition. Councilmember DeLapp agreed that our maps must clearly define what is park land and what is not. The Mayor suggested subcategories of PublicWorship, Public Facilities, and Public Parks. The Planner said the Zoning Ordinance once had separate zones for PF and P (for Parks), and they were rolled together in the 2000 PF amendments to the ordinance. The 2 zones could again be separate. The Land Use Plan text could specify that future zoning strategy. M/S/P, DeLapp/Johnston, To direct staff to draft language within the PF definition of the Land Use Plan to designate that PF land use would include two zones, one for parks and the other for the remaining PF uses.. VOTE: 5:0. M/S/P, DeLapp/Johnston, That the MOU takes precedence over the Regional Development Framework and the Water Resources Management Plan where they conflict. VOTE: 5:0. The Planner reported that the "VR" land use classification covers the geographic area of the Village Plan. S/P, DeLapp/Johnston, To add a provision f for disabled housing and a provision for a family center to the Village Area Land Use Plan. VOTE: 5:0. The Mayor and Councilmember DeLapp said such facilities should come to the city as an integrated portion of development plans. Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 2, 2005 3 DRAFT Councilmember DeLapp and Mayor Johnston suggested that Item 8 should include a variety of housing types and values in the Village Area.. M/S/P, DeLapp/Johnson, To include a specific reference for an active use central park for the city in any plan for the Village Area. VOTE: 5:0. Commissioner Sessing pointed out that Business Park had significant changes in allowable uses that might have been overlooked. The Planner said it should have said in the text that BP specifically excluded warehousing, distribution facilities, and manufacturing or assembly, and that he will correct the text. The Planner was asked to draft language indicating that accessory/auxiliary/support businesses would be allowed only after X percent of the commercial land is developed below le Street Councilmember DeLapp said to add the word, "permanent" between concentric and Green Belt in Item No. 5 of the Village Area Land Use Plan. The Council agreed. He also suggested adding another line about the critical nature of blending old development with the new development in that area of the City. The Planner thought that was unnecessary, since the Plan already addressed that concern with varied densities to match that which exists adjacent. M/S/P, Johnson/DeLapp, To delete the "Additional Land Use Plan Guidance" section of the Land Use Plan. VOTE: 5:0. M/S/P, Johnson/DeLapp, To adjourn for the evening, and pick up the Staging and Land Use Plan on Saturday morning. VOTE: 5:0. Adjourned at 8:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kimberly Sdhaffel Recording Secretary Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 2, 2005 4 DRAFT City of Lake Elmo City Council Meeting Minutes of May 7, 2005 Mayor Johnston called to order the meeting of the Lake Elmo City Council at 8:00 a.m. COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Smith, Johnson, and DeLapp. STAFF PRESENT: Administrator Rafferty, Planner Dillerud, Finance Director Bouthilet, and Recording Secretary Schaffel. ALSO PRESENT: Planning Commissioners Fliflet, Roth, Schneider, and Sedro. Agenda Attorney's opinion regarding Urban Transition. Add persons per dwelling unit. Review Staging Plan before Land Use Text. Remove Minutes until next meeting. Add Met Council paragraph. M/S/P, Johnson/Johnston, To approve the Agenda as amended. VOTE: 4:0. City Attorney's Opinion on Urban Transition The Planner explained that a letter was received from a landowner of 660 acres which took exception to the Urban Transition area on one side of his property. The City Attorney said in his opinion, as long as there is a reasonable use of the property, the city can plan that sort of buffering. Persons per Dwelling Unit The Mayor suggested a manner of treating persons per dwelling unit within the planning documents. The Planner said the Land Use text addresses persons per dwelling unit. He asked for direction Minutes M/S/P, Johnston/DeLapp, To table Minutes until next meeting. VOTE: 4:0. Staging Plan Discussion ensued with regard to park dedication percentages. Councilmember Smith said when new development arrives, the city always takes 10% for parks as part of the formula. The mayor explained that 10% is often taken as dollars, and the have to have the land to locate a park below 10°i Street. Councilmember Johnson said the mayor's plan assures enough land for those parks. M/S, DeLapp/Johnson, For all development not done as OP, the dedication be taken as land. MOTION WITHDRAWN. MOTION: DeLapp, To take money in lieu of land for park dedication. MOTION FAILED FOR A SECOND. The Planner said parks are supposed to be built based on the Parks System Plan. M/S/P, DeLapp/Johnston, To make the Village Area the first priority for development. VOTE: 4:0. The mayor said the city should have a couple of years to develop standards for non-residential development south of 10th Street. The Planner said standards were increased in the Year 2000. He said there will be a large increased cost to the city before any new non-residential development other than Eagle Point may be built below 10a' Street. The cost of the water infrastructure is approximated today at $3.7 million, Councilmember Smith said developers will not bring a large office campus to Lake Elmo if they have to pay the water infrastructure. Councilmember Johnson said in essence, development pays for that infrastructure but it occurs over time. The Planner said the infrastructure at Eagle Point was paid for with a bond that has been rolled over Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 7, 2005 1 DRAFT multiple times due to the slower pace of development there. Councilmember Smith said it would be impossible to meet 2020 population requirements by only developing the Village Area and OP north of 10th Street. Some development south of l0`h Street will be necessary to meet population forecasts by 2020. The mayor recessed the meeting for ten minutes and reconvened at 9:21 a.m. The Planner said the Metropolitan Council web site corrected the Water Resources Draft Plan. Between the two wastewater treatment sites, they are no longer projecting 2010 and 2020 for dwelling units and population targets. Those numbers are indicated as To Be Determined. The Regional Development Framework targets are in terms of staging. He said that if we begin modifying the city's assumptions, the Metropolitan Council will react. The mayor said even if we develop all OP units immediately, we will run out of land in seven years. The conclusion is that sewered development must begin south of 10th Street in five years in order to meet our financial responsibility. The Planner said the Planning Commission's recommended Staging Plan was seven years before sewered development must begin south of 10th Street. Councilmember DeLapp said the Planning Commission did not intend that. Commissioner Fliflet said the Staging Plans were not given to them prior to meetings. The focus was targets. Individual years were not discussed. They were trying to meet minimum mandates of the Metropolitan Council. Commissioner Schneider said that is exactly how it happened. The maps and charts were not analyzed completely. Their recommendation was not a blessing from the Planning Commission. They were just trying to meet the goals. Commissioner Roth said the Planning Commission was rushed. The persons per dwelling unit were established at 2.75. He said those numbers changed, and he recommended that the population be looked at closely. He said that any plan brought forth with larger than 15,200 population in 2020 is unconscionable. The Planner said System Statements are done by the Metropolitan Council every 10 years, and numbers can change. Councilmember Johnson said twice we have said we support the MOU, and we should look at being fiscally responsible at the same time. Commissioner Schneider said in his neighborhood it is 3.5 persons per dwelling unit and 4,2 in Carriage Station. Even though we have tried to slow the pace of development, we have still grown by nearly two thousand people since 2,000. The Planner said that 355 dwelling units have been added, nearly all in OP, since 2000. 1500 people were added since the census. Councilmember DeLapp suggested trying three scenarios, the staff, Councilmember Smith's, and Councilmember DeLapp's plan and look at them fairly. Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 7, 2005 2 DRAFT The Planner said where new development will go needs to be addressed as well as when. The Planning Commission recommendation regarding commercial development south of 10"' Street was a concentration at the far southeastern comer of the community. The city has a sizable sewer pipe at Eagle Point, and it would cost nothing to the city to extend it. The cost to just open the door to the water is $3.7 million, and nobody knows yet how much it will cost to extend that water infrastructure. Commissioner Millet said infrastructure cost should be part of the discussion. We should not commit to building that infrastructure earlier than is necessary. Administrator Rafferty said there will be a minimum of two years' worth of work and analysis to conceptualize a plan for commercial development in the southeastern corner of the city. That area of the city would work well if we are trying to coordinate with Woodbury. It may be five to ten years before the infrastructure must be placed there. Councilmember Smith said the Planning Cotrunission buffered new residential housing from the freeway by a strip of commercial development. She preferred that option because otherwise high density housing will be along the freeway. M/S/F, DeLapp/Smith, To not base discussion on the Planning Commission recommendation to consolidate commercial development into one primary location because the data has changed. Commissioner Sedro said she voted for the consolidation to_ba,more flexible to take advantage of a good employer if one came to us, as far as residential on the freeway she looked at what the city gained by having such an employer. Commissioner Fliflet said the Planning Commission voted for a Corporate Woods type of development but she did not believe it all had to be placed in one location. The recommended approval was of the concept. Commissioner Roth said he voted against that concept because he did not want to alter Lake Ehno's appearance by having housing along the freeway. VOTE: 1:3, Nay - Smith, Johnson, Johnston. The mayor said the Woodbury mayor said if Lake Elmo is serious about working with them, we would consolidate our commercial development. M/S/P, Smith/Johnston, to Table discussion of the shape of commercial area below 10th Street. VOTE: 4:0. The mayor said planning for the target population would be a much more attractive option than leaving some numbers absent and trying to scramble to meet targets in the last five years of this planning period, After a five minute recess, the mayor called the meeting back to order at 10:41 a.m. M/S/P, Smith/DeLapp, Each councilmember will take five minutes to explain their positions on staging. Administrator Rafferty said if the council each gave their numbers for non-residential, residential north, and residential south of 10'1' Street, we could move the discussion forward. Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 7, 2005 3 DRAFT VOTE: 4:0. Councilmember DeLapp suggested the commercial development should be placed at the most southwestern portion of the city in order to move the water efficiently, and residential development would be east of that location, post 2020. He said if we move the infrastructure east, then development will immediately follow. The mayor said he would like straight line development with a.financial bump at the beginning to pay for the water infrastructure costs. Councilmember Johnson said she would change Option A to add the market driven development for non-residential development. She said there should be two to five years for the planning process and then market driven after that. The Mayor said Option A would present the lowest financial risk to existing residents. Councilmember DeLapp said it would represent the biggest risk to urbanizing the city. Commissioner Fliflet asked staff if there were financial holes in the Planning Commission Model of the Staging Plan. She said she was told it was financially sound. The mayor said the Planning Commission's Staging Plan might have been fiscally sound but it carried more risk. Administrator Rafferty said connected to numbers for Staging Plans are dollars. So staff took those costs and applied them to both models. Both models are financially sound. One model produces more Ad Valorem revenue earlier than the other. Once the financial investment is made in infrastructure, development must occur to pay for it orthe burden will fall on the taxpayers. The Planner said staff accelerated the back load approach in order to financially pay for the water improvements. - Councilmember Smith explained her plan would place 3600 REC units and 10,000 population below 101h Street. She would reserve acres just north of 10`s Street should we not meet the population due to changes in persons per dwelling unit. For seven years, the city would focus on development in the Village Area. That brings the city to 2013 before beginning the development south of 10`h Street. Her focus on the Village Area would make it exceptional. Later focus below 10`h Street would make that area exceptional. Councilmember DeLapp asked if Metropolitan Council would allow more than 500 residential sewered units in the Village Area. The Planner said we may not have 500 existing in the Village so we might borrow from that number. The mayor said he believes the Metropolitan Council would allow us to do that. Councilmember Smith said her plan brings water closer to the non-residential development. Commissioner Roth said a good corporate client might necessitate accelerating residential development. The Planner said with sewer gravity districts, that stages new development. Lake Rime City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 7, 2005 4 DRAFT The mayor suggested bringing these three positions to staff for a financial impact assessment. Councilmember DeLapp said the last Comprehensive Plan had water planned to serve 440 acres of corporate development and sewer would be available immediately following design standards being established. Councilmember DeLapp said the oversizing of the sewer pipe was already clone and paid for but the well house would need to be built. The mayor said the sooner we get started with development, the lower the risk to taxpayers. Councilmember Johnson said she would only change non-residential sewer in Option A so it would be more balanced. The last column would be changed to put development more up front than what is shown. Councilmember Smith asked staff to change the initial bump to 125 for the first two years and Chen drop to 70 per year for five years. M/S/P, Johnson/Smith, to have a special meeting in place of the Council Committee Meetings beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 10, 2005. VO FE: 4:0. Adjourn 11:50 a.rn. Respectfully submitted, I{imberly Schaffel Recording Secretary Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 7, 2005 5 DRAFT City of Lake Elmo City Council Meeting Minutes of May 10, 2005 Mayor Johnston called to order the special meeting of the Lake Elmo City Council at 5:32 pan. COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Smith, Johnson, (and DeLapp 5:32 p.m.). STAFF PRESENT: Administrator Rafferty, Planner Dlllerud, Finance Director Bouthilet, and Recording Secretary Schaffel ALSO PRESENT: Planning Commissioners Lyzenga and Fliflet. Agenda Remove the Minutes and bring them to the May 17, 2005 meeting. Move Staging Plan to Number 2 on the Agenda. M/S/P, Johnson/DeLapp, To accept the Agenda as amended. VOTE: 4:0. Administrator Rafferty said Councilmember Conlin would come back to Lake Elmo for a final decision on the Comprehensive Plan if requested to do so. Staging Plan The Planner said there are four elements to the Comprehensive Plan: Inventory, Policy, Land Use Plan (text and map), and the Staging Plan. In addition there are several, System Plans. There will be a problem for our consultants to have sufficient time to create Systems Plans unless some decisions on the first elements are reached soon. Staff presented options of staging approaches for the City responsive to the scenarios presented by individual Council Members on May 7. Administrator Rafferty said that Councilmember Conlin told him she was leaning toward Option A. The Planner said the Comprehensive Plan was not on last evening's agenda at the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission did say, however, that a very good development application could be cause for the Staging Wan to be amended. The Planner provided lists, then a chart and graphics comparing his interpretations of the staging options presented on May 7 by staff and individual Council members. The Planner said three Council options (Johnston, Smith and Delapp) are not dissimilar. Each of those options would allow a developer with an excellent project the opportunity to develop earlier than the Staging Plans would otherwise indicate with an affirmative 4/5 vote of the City Council; and all three (Johnston, Smith and Delapp) staged regional sewer to the Old Village first. The Planner presented a graph comparing the rate of housing unit production per year for each option; another graph comparing regional sewer development by option. A third graph was for new sewered development in the Village Area. The final graph compared s sewered residential south of 10`h Street was in the next graph. Administrator Rafferty displayed financial forecast tables for each councilmember's model. He said all the models reflect the city's capability of supporting city operations. Councilmember Smith suggested that a more responsible approach would be steady growth without having to overload staff and projects by trying to develop sewered units both north and Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 10, 2005 1 DRAFT south of 10`h Street at the same time. That could be taxing on both staff and Council. She said the Smith and Johnston models appeal most from that perspective. Councilmember DeLapp said outside contracted sources can help when staffing needs increase. M/S/P, Johnson/Johnston, To recommend the Council Member Smith Staging Option with "New Sewered DUs South of 10th" replaced with Johnston's option for New Sewered DUs South of 10`h Street. Also, non-residential sewer will be market driven beginning in 2013, and with 4/5 vote of Council to amend if a very attractive non-residential development application was forthcoming. The Mayor said we should not confuse staging with zoning and standards. He said we should take nine months to get our zoning in place, and standards will need to be created during the years before development begins. Planning Commissioner Lyzenga said the Planning Commission proposed development be postponed south of 10th Street to 2020 in order for the City to create a scenario where we could choose the best of development applications. The Mayor called a recess for five minutes and reconvened at 7:48 p.m. VO IE: 2:2. Nay — Smith, important that Councilmember Conlin is here for the decision. Nay - DeLapp. M/S/P, Smith/DeLapp, To recommend the Smith Option, beginning non-residential sewered in 2013, with a proviso for flexibility for the timing of development in the Village Area, and with 4/5 vote of council a very attractive development application could be approved sooner. VOTE: 4:0. Land Use Plan Text The Planner said he will change the text based on the Staging Plan that was chosen. M/S/P, Johnson/Johnston, To approve the Land Use Plan text as amended by the Staging Plan. VOTE: 4:0. Land Use Plan Map Councilmember DeLapp said we have always expected a 440 Plan for non-residential development below 10 Street in the Comprehensive Plan. We should continue with that plan. The Planner said the 440 Plan was to take Eagle Point and essentially extend non-residential development along Hudson Road to just beyond Keats Avenue. That totals about 440 acres of non-residential development. I -le said an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was requested to do that. The Metropolitan Council rejected that amendment except for the 120 acres of Eagle Point. .He reported that the sewer pipe at Eagle Point has enough capacity to support that 440 acres of non-residential development. He also noted that the new City well is at Eagle Point as well. M/S/P, DeLapp/Johnston, To show the 440 acres adjacent to Eagle Point to across Keats(or enough land to give us enough employment REC units) as the only non-residential sewered land Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 10, 2005 2 DRAFT outside the Old Village; the remaining lands below 10th Street to be residential, and to delete some of the non-residential development along the freeway, leaving the option for cooperation with Woodbury on a State subsidized development as a Comprehensive Plan Amendment based on proven need and desirability for the City. Mayor Johnston said putting all the non-residential adjacent to Stonegate is a considerable change. The Mayor suggested accepting the Planning Commission recommendation for non- residential development with the option of moving it back toward Eagle Point if we received a wonderful proposal. Councilmember Smith said she would like to take some time to explore options with Woodbury. Councilmember DeLapp said moving water a great distance east will cost a great deal of money. Councilmember Johnson said we should move forward. She asked if the Council wants to spread out or consolidate non-residential development, with or without Woodbury. She said we should protect existing residents. Councilmember Smith asked if staff could bring in Matt Kramer to give some clarification. She said she has no problem locating the non-residential development between Manning and Lake Elmo Avenue but she feels uninformed. CALL THE QUESTION: VO 1'E: 4:0. VO 1'E: 1:3, Nay — Smith, Johnston, and Johnson. M/S/P, Johnson/Johnston, To adopt the April 2005 Draft Land Use Plan Map. The Mayor said the benefit of consolidating non-residential development in the southeastern part of the city is the potential of similar high tech businesses being substituted for the proposed auto mall across the highway in Woodbury. He said does not like the buffering the Planning Commission provided by the RT land use classification. He said he has heard that open space does not buffer well. He said he believes the City should zone residential 3.7 per acre and insure the 200 feet of buffer, and leave it to future councils and commissioners to impose how it will be done. Councilmember Smith said she would like all residential development area below 10th Street to be classified the same on the Land Use Map. The Mayor said that, other than for buffering, there is no need for different residential densities south of 10th Street. The Planner said different densities could dictate housing styles. If we present only an average number of units per acre, it could give a future commission or council some more flexibility. Councilmember Smith said she suggested a singular residential classification south of 10th Street in order to find some way of finding equity because it provides similar land values to each landowner. The Planner explained that the Planning Commission provided for higher density along transportation corridors., which is good planning practice. Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 10, 2005 3 DRAFT The Mayor said that the Rural Transition classification takes up too much land. He objects to that inefficient barrier. Amendment, Johnston/DeLapp, To leave the varying density and buffering issue to future councils for residential sewered development south of 1011i Street , and to approve an average density across the residential area south of 10th Street. Councilmember DeLapp said there are myriad methods of shaping development to buffer, screen, and design those lands. AMENDMENT VOTE: 4:0. VO1'E, ON MOTION: 4:0. With Council's approval, the Planner said he will make the necessary adjustments, and send the Land Use Plan and Map and the Staging Plan to the Metropolitan Council for comment. Adjourn at 7:57 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kimberly Schaffel Recording Secretary Lake Elmo City Council Special Meeting Minutes of May 10, 2005 4 LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 28, 2005 Mayor Johnston called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. in the city council chambers. PRESENT: Conlin, Smith, Johnston, Johnson, DeLapp, City Engineer Prew, City Planner Dillerud, City Attorney Filla, and Administrator Rafferty. 1. Lakewood Evangelical Free Church Attorney Filla summarized the 10 resolutions provided for Council consideration and recapped the history of the church application and proposal. Attorney Filla asked the council to take action on the comprehensive plan first. If approved, then the Council should consider rezoning and CUP allowed in the PF zone. Peter Beck, attorney for the church, submitted maps for the current proposed OP, church site, remaining 40 acres and talked about expanded OP development. He said the open space plan does not have to be approved tonight, but the other resolutions do. The applicant would add 20 acres to the 40 for a total of 60, acres....as to how the lots would lay out they would have to come back to the City, probably in 60 days. Beck said tonight, the applicant's goal is to get a decision on the church, comp plan amendment, rezoning, CUP for the church. The church doesn't want any uses between them and Highway 36. Council member DeLapp asked if they meant keeping the land in OP. Attorney Beck responded that the NW 1/3 or more would be dedicated OP. The balance is unusable for a structure due to the power line easement. Comprehensive Plan Amendment from RAD to PF M/S/P Johnston/Conlin - to approve Resolution No. 2005-027, A Comprehensive Plan Amendment from RAD to PF requested by Lakewood Evangelical Free Church. (Motion passed 4-1DeLapp: The comprehensiveplan does not call for a string of public facilities.) Mayor Johnston stated the City is looking at a substantial change in population, and he supports churches which, should be located by major transportation corridors. Council member DeLapp said the Planning Commission asked to delay this request until after the comp plan is completed. Council member Conlin asked if there were any residents against this application. The City Planner said not that he recollects and that there are not many houses close by. Council member Conlin said we as a City have not put together a plan for parcels in the PF Zoning. The code allows for such PF zoning, and the Council has to follow the code. Rezoning from RR to PF M/S/P Johnson/Conlin — to approve Resolution No. 2005-028, A Resolution Approving the Rezoning from a Rural Residential (RR) designation to a Public Facility (PF) designation for Lot 1, Block 1, Deer Glen..(Motion passed 4-1 DeLapp: Thought we were LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 28, 2005 1 going to take the three Resolutions together. Attorney Filla said the three resolutions, Resolutions 2005-027, 028, 029, are a package because they all deal with the church. Conditional Use Permit M/S/P Johnson/Conlin - to approve Resolution No. 2005-029, A Resolution Approving the Request for a Conditional Use Permit by Lakewood Evangelical Free Church for Proposed Lot 1, Block 1, Deer Glen. (Motion passed 4-1:DeLapp said he was not as strongly against this CUP request as the other two resolutions.). Attorney Filla pointed out Conditions 2 and 3 in Resolution No. 2005-029 were not discussed before by the Council, but added that the conditions should have been considered. Attorney Filla also pointed out that the preliminary plat that is in front of the Council may change if the area of the OP development is expanded based on what Attorney Beck has stated. Attorney Filla suggested adding a condition #3. The proposed preliminary plat shows a 48 acre OP project plan rather than a 68 acre OP project described preliminarily by Attorney Beck and generally illustrated on Exhibit 1. Filla recommended adding condition #4. That the additional 20 acres of OP should be added to an amended preliminary plat which should be reviewed by the Planning Commission before presentation of the final plat to the City Council. Preliminary Plat M/S/ Johnson/DeLapp — to approve Resolution No. 2005-030, A Resolution Approving the Preliminary Plat for Deer Glen with added conditions #3 and #4, as recommended by Attorney Filla.

Comprehensive Plan Update — Verbal The City Planner explained on May 3,`. I he received an e-mail from Blair Tremere, Director of Community Development, Metropolitan Council, stating the Met Co. believes 2.53 ppdu is a very reasonable number for the Cityt in 2030. Mr. Tremere added the City's preference for a significant complement of senior housing would argue for lowering the ppdu number, not raising it. Tremere said arbitrarily raising the ppdu number, which decreases the number of dwelling units, would likely hamstring planned population growth and adversely impact existing and planned metropolitan systems serving the City and surrounding communities. The Met Council would not support 2.75 ppdu, but would demand the City implement 2.53 ppdu. Mr. Tremere said the Metropolitan Council will adhere to the Framework's forecast of 9,500 dwelling units necessary to accommodate a 2030 population of 24,000. Council member Conlin called the letter premature because they have not made a determination on senior housing and a final zoning plan map has not been agreed upon. Council member Smith said she was taken aback by the significant senior housing comment. They're implying something that never occurred. We need studies to determine what senior housing is needed. Council member Johnson said she would back the Council's previous 2.91 ppdu decision, and the City should prepare itself to defend that number in court should the need arise. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 3, 2005 4 The Council consensus was to use 2.91 ppdu for the completion of the comp plan. Council member Smith suggested placing an area in a reserve for the difference in housing density. Council member DeLapp agreed to setting aside a block of land in reserve north of 10th Street. Council member Johnson asked how does the City legally reserve land. Mayor Johnston indicated he believed the City had a good argument to go along with 2.91 ppuu if the City set a piece of land for future density. Mayor Johnston added he had no contact with any Met Council representative relative to this email. The Council was in agreement on the concept of a placing an area in reserved for future housing density and this item will be discussed at the May 7th Council meeting on the comp plan. M/S/P Johnston/Smith - to table this item until the Saturday, May 7th Council meeting. (Motion passed 3-2 Conlin, DeLapp). 10. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: 11. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: 12.

The Maintenance Advisory Committee has reviewed the specifications for the new truck and approved this request. Due to the low trade-in cost for the 1986 truck, the MAC recommended the City sell the vehicle on the open market through the bidding process with a $10,000 minimum.

What do you consider to be the major planning and development issues confronting the City of Lake Elmo? The Metropolitan Council ruling and how Lake Elmo chooses to implement the required changes are the major planning and development issues in the city. If Lake Elmo is forced to develop, let's do it right and do everything we can to retain the character of the city. 2. What do you see as the role and function of the Planning Commission? The Planning Commission should represent various areas of the city and various interests and have the ability to assist in making decisions in the best interest of the city and its residents. 3. What experience and qualifications do you have that you feel will contribute to the Planning Commission's work and which will enable you to provide a service in this regard? I grew up in Stillwater and have lived in Lalce Elmo for over 6 years. My wife and I chose Lake Elmo because of the character of the city and because we thought this would be a wonderful place to raise our family. While my educational background is accounting and finance, I've always been very interested in land development, housing, and city planning. I haven't missed a "Parade of Homes" since 1 starting driving all over the Twin Cities to see homes and developments in 1986. 4. How much time do you have, or are you willing to devote to Planning Commission activities? I am willing to devote the time necessary to get the job done. I have active children and a demanding wife and job, but I think most people have these or similar issues. My wife supports my decision to apply for the Commission. 5. What property or development interest, either direct or indirect, do you have within Lake Elmo? I am a homeowner in Stonegate.

Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 651-436-8811 email: ltdwidin @ cameast.net 5/12/05 Martin Rafferty, City Administrator City Council City of Lake Elmo Attached is an application for a MnReLeaf grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources which I prepared on the behalf of the City of Lake Elmo. This is a 50% cost -share grant, meaning that property owners who elect to have oak wilt management done on their properties will provide a match of at least 50% of the funds for removal of potential spore producing trees (red and pin oaks) and root graft disruption with a vibratory plow to slow the spread of the disease (where recommended). This is a "reimbursement" grant meaning that funds must be paid out by the city (for forestry consulting — inspection, recommendations and outreach) and by property owners (for oak wilt management) and then the city and property owners will be reimbursed by the DNR for up to 50% of the costs. Out of pocket expenses for the city for three year's expenses for oak wilt inspections and two year's expenses for outreach would be approximately $1,900. (48 hours @ $40. /hour) for the two-year grant period (three years of inspection expenses can be included in the project costs). Oak wilt management (removal of recently wilted, bark - intact, red and pin oaks and root graft disruption with a vibratory plow) would be paid for by Droperty owners and they would be reimbursed for 50% of their costs up to a maximum of S500. per property owner. Grant requirements would not allow reimbursement of costs for removal of wilting red oaks and pin oaks for property owners who declined to have root graft disruption done where it was recommended. A grant such as this would be very helpful in leveraging existing budget dollars to provide more inspection and outreach time for survey, detection and management of oak wilt disease. It would also provide a financial incentive for property owners to comply with management recommendations and help minimize the spread of oak wilt. The deadline for submittal of this grant application is Friday, May 27". I ask that the city council approve this grant application and have it signed by someone authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the city. I will attend the council meeting on Tues. May 17th to answer any questions you might have regarding this grant application.

Organization/Agency Description — Lake Elmo is a community, 25 sq. miles in size with a population of approximately 7600, located in central Washington County near the St. Croix River valley. The community is largely rural/residential with some commercial properties and large areas of public open space, including city parks as well as the Lake Elmo Regional Park Reserve and the 3M Tartan Park Golf Club. The historical character of Lake Elmo is largely that of a farming community. Most developments in recent years have been residential with a focus on conservation developments which preserve open space. The City of Lake Elmo had a grant in the past for oak wilt management. Lake Elmo has a commitment to trees and open space within the community. The city recently hired a part-time forestry consultant to handle calls from homeowners and provide consulting services such as tree disease and insect inspection and also management information for trees on both public and private property. 2. Project Site — The site for oak wilt management includes all areas with oak located within the city limits (see attached map MnDNR 1988). Soils in many areas of the community are composed of glacial till materials, such as sand, clay, and gravel. Some areas have loam and clay loam soils. Existing vegetation ranges from former oak savanna and prairie areas to oak woodlands with mixed deciduous tree species, Many areas have been cleared of native vegetation and have been farmed for the past 50-100 years. Some former farm fields have been turned into housing developments and the vegetation consists largely of planted turf and landscape trees and shrubs. Most newer developments have areas of native open space, many of which contain bur, pin and, in some cases, red and white oaks. There is a large oak component in wooded areas of Lake Elmo, in both residential and open space areas. 3. Project Purpose - Oak wilt is present in Lake Elmo and has been controlled on a limited basis in the past. Lake Elmo has a large oak resource within the community and would like to preserve as much of it as possible. In order to do this, the City needs to first determine the current extent of oak wilt infection centers within the community and then encourage effective management of oak wilt on both public and private lands. Systematic surveys and detection as well as management information and cost -share dollars for land owners would help to encourage management and decrease the incidence of oak wilt within the city. 4. Personnel — Prior to 2005, city public works staff have responded to calls from property owners regarding oak wilt; however, there has been no systematic inspection process for the disease. Recently the city hired a part-time forestry consultant and plant pathologist, Dr. Kathy Widin, to provide forestry consulting services, including oak wilt inspection and recommendations for management. Dr. Widin has M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Plant Pathology from the University of Minnesota. She has worked as a private forestry consultant in the Twin Cities area for 22 years providing consulting services to 10 municipalities as well as private corporations, development companies, non-profit organizations and homeowners. She has been involved for many years in 2 MnReLeaf Grant Application — Lake Elmo - 2 oak wilt detection and management and has been the project manager for MnReLeaf grants in the past. Dr. Widin is an ISA Certified Arborist, a Minn. Certified Tree Inspector and Minn. Cert. Pesticide Applicator. 5. Project Goals and Objectives: Goals — To survey for and identify active oak wilt infection centers on both public and private property and manage the disease within the community. Objectives - 1. Identify Active Oak Wilt Infection Centers a. check prior records, oak wilt maps and aerial photos b. inspect public and private properties with past history of oak wilt c. drive -by survey of accessible areas with oaks d. field survey of less accessible large acreages with oak 2. Provide Site -Specific Management Information (see management plan) 3. Provide Technical Information to Area Residents a. workshop once per year to provide management information to property owners to efficiently facilitate management efforts b. articles for city newsletter and local newspapers on oak wilt, its symptoms, impact and management Dr. Widin will provide all of the above services for the community oak wilt management program. These activities will take place each year of the grant program. 6. Maintenance Plan — The City of Lake Elmo plans to continue monitoring oak wilt infection centers for at least three years after project completion. The forestry consultant will continue survey and detection of infection centers, work with property owners/managers on determining site -specific management, and monitor treatments and effects of management on disease progression. 7. Long -Term Community Forestry Plan — The City of Lake Elmo has long had a commitment to trees within the community. They previously had a grant for oak wilt management and directed a public works staff person to assist property owners with oak wilt detection and management. They have previously been a Tree City, USA and are working towards that award designation again for 2005. The City Council has directed staff to hire a part-time forestry consultant to manage the oalc wilt program as well as assist property owners/managers and city staff with tree - related issues. The City Council, Commissions, Staff and residents have been very supportive of this new position and are committed to continuing to promote tree care within the community. 3 MnReLeaf Grant Application — Lake Elmo — 3 Forest Health Management Plan A. Project Summary: 1. Oak Wilt Detection and Management: As a former rural farming community which has carefully managed development and encouraged preservation of open space, Lake Elmo has marry acres of deciduous forest dominated by a large oak component. Oak wilt is established in Lake Elmo in both residential and natural woodland areas. As more publicity is being made available to residents through newspapers and on television regarding Dutch elm disease, oak wilt and invasive insects and plants, public awareness and demand for assistance with oak wilt and other tree issues has increased. Property owners within Lake Elmo have identified and treated oak wilt in the past but on a limited basis. A 1988 DNR map of Lake Elmo With Oak Wilt Centers (attached) shows the existing natural resources as well as suspected oak wilt centers within the community. Oak wilt is present today in many areas of Lake Elmo, but detection of active infection centers and management of the disease need to be facilitated and increased. Cost share dollars from a MnReLeaf grant world help the city to hire the forestry consultant for more hours of inspection and work with property owners. More property owners would choose to manage the disease if cost share dollars were available to assist with costs of removal of spore -producing red and pin oaks and root graft disruption. 2. Project Goals: The city expects to have increased requests for technical assistance as well as financial assistance for management of oak wilt. At least 30 requests for technical assistance specific to oak wilt and 15 requests for financial assistance are expected from property owners each year for 2005 and 2006. The city's goal is to be able to fund additional forester time to provide technical assistance and also provide financial assistance to most of the property owners who comply with management recommendations. B. Methods: 1. Survey & Detection* — The forestry consultant will do inspections for oak wilt disease. Areas with a history of oak wilt and woodlands in parks and residential areas where oak dominates will be inspected in July and August via a drive -by survey and also field inspections of old and new infections centers. Less accessible areas and those less populated with oak will be surveyed in August and September as time allows. 2. Proposed Control Zone — The first year control will be focused on areas dominated by oak and where oak wilt has been documented in past or property owners have called in with suspected oak wilt infection centers. The second year will focus on areas where oak wilt has been treated and inspections will also move into areas of the city not previously inspected. 3. Proposed Action(s) — In established neighborhoods, root graft disruption utilizing a vibratory plow, potential spore tree removal, and a 3YrI (three-year inspection) program is the preferred method of control. On larger acreages, with more remote infection centers, or in areas where root graft disruption cannot be done due to 4 MnReLeaf Grant Application — Lake Elmo — 4 slope or presence of underground utilities, we would encourage a TTL ("treat to the line") approach. Management options will be recorded in the landowner agreement on file. City staff will review the community resource map, identify and proposed treatment sites that overlap "sensitive areas", and consult with the Minn. Dept. of Natural Resources Heritage and/or Cultural resource managers to develop alternative treatments to protect rare features, as needed. 4. Outreach — Program highlights and application deadlines will be announced through the city newsletter and also through articles in local papers. 5. Prevention Measures — Local tree services and landscape companies wil receive a flyer explaining the risks of pruning during April, May and June as well as the need to continue to paint wounds made to oaks anytime during the growing season. The same message will be included in the city newsletter which goes out to residents in late winter. Information on oak wilt symptoms, prevention and management, will also go into packets given to builders and developers. 6. Timeframe for survey, detection, and treatment —The forestry consultant will review files in June and do oak wilt survey and detection work July through September. Treatments will begin in August and continue through November. Potential spore tree removals will take place from October through March 1" of year following detection and marking. 7. Future Restoration/Planting Needs* — Recommendations for re -planting areas where diseased oaks have been removed will be made on a case -by -case basis. Property owners will be encouraged to remove European buckthorn from oak wilt infection sites if the sites are infested with this invasive woody plant. Property owners will also be encouraged to re -plant areas with native tree and shrub species. 8. Post Treatment Monitoring* — This will be accomplished through follow-up inspections by the forestry consultant for three years following treatment. All sites treated the previous year will be revisited in July or August. Plow lines will be tagged at the time of treatment to help monitor root graft disruption success. Records will be taken on the incidence of any recurring infection(s) and the efficacy of treatments made. Recommendations for further treatments will be made on a case -by -case basis. 9. Data Management — The plowing contractor will provide a map and treatment summary for each landowner who elects to treat an infection center with a vibratory plow. The tree inspector will maintain a file for each landowner containing their treatment agreement, management done, and payment history. All records will be on paper and in a Microsoft Word table maintained by the forestry consultant. 10. Evaluation Process*— Detection and management of oak wilt infection centers will be reviewed each year and changes in procedure, such as more frequent inspections or additional follow-up with property owners, will be made, if needed. Efficacy of the inspection procedure(s) and type of treatments made will be evaluated each year of the grant and for an additional three years after treatments are made. *Proposed actions which will continue beyond the grant period.

A letter from them is attached. Background With the approval of the Office Park last year, it was decided at that time not to extend water service to this site. The City of Oakdale was looking at a rate increase that would have necessitated the amendment of our Agreement, and affected all property owners in that area. Later last year, the City decided to interconnect the Old Village and Lake Jane area water systems, thus ending our Agreement with the City of Oakdale. That connect should be complete this summer. In the interim, the office park developer has drilled a few wells, which it turns out are in the area of newly discovered groundwater contamination.

Dean Johnston, Mayor ATTEST: Martin Rafferty, City Administrator Lake Elmo City Council May 17, 2005 Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use & Zoning No. 9A Agenda Item: OP Concept Plan — Discover Crossing Background Information for Mav 17. 2005: At its May 9, 2005 meeting the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing and then unanimously (9- 0) adopted a recommendation to approve this application to plat an 80+ acre parcel with 24 single family building lots. The recommendation is subject to several conditions, the most significant of which are requirements that water supply be from a single community well; and that wastewater be treated by a single community Wastewater system. The applicant proposes individual wells and multiple shared drain fields. City staff is investigating the feasibility of extending City water to this site as an alternative to the community well. Pending OP development in this general area of the City may enable City water to this site — an even better alternative than a community well or individual wells. The attached Resolution for OP Concept Plan approval includes the Findings and conditions recommended by the Planning Commission.

WHEREAS, on the 2ls` day of April, 2005, MBM Development, LLC ("Applicant") and Elizabeth Lundquist submitted a completed application requesting that the City of Lake Elmo approve an Open Space Preservation Development Concept Plan for 24 residential lots on 71.6 acres; and WHEREAS, on the 9th day of May, 2005, at a public hearing, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission reviewed the Development Application, the City Planner's reports and comments, the comments of the Applicant and the Applicant's representatives, and recommended approval of the Development Application based upon the following Findings: 1. Except as noted regarding OP buffer compliance, the OP Concept Plan generally complies with the OP design standards as can be determined at the Concept Plan Stage. 2. The Concept Plan is generally consistent with the purpose of the Open Space Preservation Ordinance. 3. The Concept Plan generally complies with the Comprehensive Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lake Elmo City Council hereby: Approves the Open Space Concept Plan for DISCOVER CROSSING as illustrated on the Concept Plan prepared by Folz, Freeman, Erickson, Inc., staff dated May 4 , 2005 with the following conditions: 1. All house pads shall be at least 200 feet form the south property line and 100 feet from the west property line. 2. Applicant shall clearly demonstrate by graphics the year round effectiveness of buffering proposed within the 100 foot west OP buffer. 3. Applicant shall submit preliminary plans to provide water supply from a single community well and lateral service to home sites. 4. Applicant shall submit preliminary plans to treat wastewater with a single Constructed Wetlands Wastewater Treatment System (or technologically equivalent) with sewer laterals to the individual home sites. 5. The Development Stage Plan and Preliminary Plat shall show easement for an east/west service road along the north property line reflecting the MnDOT graphic as presented the Planning Commission. 6. Deletion of the project monument sign. 7. The Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Play shall include no more than 24 building lots unless the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Ordinance has been officially amended to allow a higher lot count. 8. Compliance with Valley Branch Watershed District recommendations as determined to be applicable by the City Engineer. ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo City Council on the 17th day of May, 2005 Dean Johnston, Mayor ATTEST: Martin Rafferty, City Administrator DRAFT DRAFT PUBLIC HEARING: OP CONCEPT PLAN — DISCOVER CROSSING The Planner introduced the concept plan for an Open Space Preservation Development to be named DISCOVER CROSSING. He reported that the concept consists of 24 residential Lots responsive to the OP code, with suggested platting of an additional three Lots if the OP Ordinance is amended to allow higher density to .45 units per acre. He noted that two house pads appear to be too close to the westerly side of the parcel; and, that the Valley Branch Watershed has indicated several homes may be situated too low in relationship to the wetlands and the 100 year flood elevations. He said that the applicant proposes to treat wastewater with several shared drainfield sites. The Planner summarized his suggested Findings and approval conditions as follow: Findings 1) OP Concept generally complies with standards except for buffer, 2) Generally complies with the purpose of the OP Ordinance, 3) Generally complies with the Comprehensive Plan. Conditions 1) Adjust OP buffer 2) Provide buffer details 3) Single point water source 4) Single point sewer source 5) Revised street circulation providing more direct route east to west 6) Eliminate monument sign 7) 24 lots only 8) Compliance with VBWD recommendations 9) Compliance with the City Engineer's recommendations Commissioner Schneider asked who is responsible for the maintenance of the proposed bridge. The Planner said if the roadway easement is to the City, the City is also responsible for the bridge maintenance. Mark Putman, Landscape Architect Mr. Putman said his company tries to find the opportunities of value within a site to help it to live and feel better. The focus or hub of this road design is the Wizard's Bridge. Vegetation is terraced through the use of retaining wall plantings. The street design carries plenty of volume yet calms traffic and provides connections through the use of the roundabout and the sound one hears as you travel across the Wizard's Bridge. He said the road design meets city standards. Tim Freeman, Land Surveyor and Planner Mr. Freeman said that the applicant held an Open House last week in order to provide a sneak preview to neighbors. Mr. Freeman said the application attempts to minimize grayling using several techniques, in order to save as many trees as possible. Roadways follow the contours of the land. They will not grade the house pads. Architectural standards and controls will prevent tearing down or clear cutting of trees by property owners. The streets are designed without ditches. Trails are placed along the road. Surface water will be moved overland to allow for infiltration and evaporation until moved into retention ponds. Utilizing the existing entrance saves trees. The view of the developed parcel from Lake Elmo Avenue will be no different than it is today. DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT Mr. Freeman said house pads in two areas of the graphics were turned by the CAD operator, and they will be moved back to create the appropriate amount of buffer. He said the buffer on the west is also a thick grove of trees. Part of that buffer is open space. He said the developers have opted for individual wells instead of a community system. That sort of system is not very easy to hook up to city water. The size of water mains do not lend themselves to circulation. Fire suppression is difficult because of the lack of pressure. Instead they have flushing hydrants, not fire hydrants. Smaller cell wastewater treatment was chosen to save more trees. They do not want to clear cut an area in order to build a large drainfield, and the distance to the cleared area would be difficult to get to. He supplied a Mn/DOT map with a proposal for a frontage road at the intersection of Highway 36 and Lake Elmo Avenue. Mr. Freeman said the applicants are willing to dedicate that roadway easement on the north end of the parcel. The existing access provides the best sight distance of any location on the parcel. He said the monument is important to the design. Mr. Freeman said the applicants are working with John Hanson from Valley Branch Watershed District to create the 100 year flood elevations for the basins on the site. Commissioner Sedro asked why the Open Space is not preserved through the Land Trust; if the trail is the same level as the street; and, if the northernmost lot is a flag lot. Mr. Putman said the trail system is along the road in order to preserve trees. Commissioner Sedro would like to see a curb there to protect pedestrians. Mr. Freeman said flag lots tend to be the most coveted locations within a development because they are more private with more trees and harder to access. He said that five feet of trail is on the street and the streets are created at the narrowest possible width. The material is stamped and colored blacktop. Mr. Putman said many of these features go beyond the requirements of the code. Mr. Freeman said the Land Trust is most concerned about shape and monitoring, and they expect to be rejected by the Land Trust due to the shape of their open space. Commissioner Deziel asked how an Architectural Control Committee is established. Mr. Putman said covenants are submitted to the city. His company prepared architectural controls for Liberty and they will be drafting these controls. Chairman Helwig asked the mature tree types. Mr. Freeman said there is a significant grove of pines, and there are oak, aspen, birch, and maple along with some spruce and pine within the hardwoods. Commissioner Schneider asked if the two big ponds are connected. Mr. Freeman said that water will be pumped back after running through the culvert creating healthier water. Mr. Putman said that aerated water helps improve water quality, and water noise mitigates traffic noise. Commissioner Ptacek asked if the city would consider the roadway frontage easement instead of changing the east -west circulation of the road within the development. DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT The Planner said that would be acceptable. Commissioner Deziel asked how the city would maintain the bridge. Mr. Freeman proposed the engineering as a huge culvert, with a paved surface, and retaining walls terracing down the slope to the water. He said the HOA could partner with the city to maintain the plantings and amenities along the right of way. Commissioner Roth asked what happens when the stamped trail portion of road deteriorates. Mr. Freeman said the City would maintain it and decide what to assess the homeowners. Mr. Freeman said the gross vehicle weight on the bridge would be 9 tons or greater. Chairman Helwig suggested 12 tons for construction equipment. Mr. Freeman said his OP calculations provide enough open space to cover 27 residential Lots. THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:32 P.M. Yvette Oldendorf She said it is a beautiful parcel. Ms. Oldendorf would be pleased to see the alternative for the frontage road especially with traffic growth in a neighboring development. She is concerned for the buffer at the south end not just the distance but the content. She asked if trees could be planted or transplanted to that area. Neighborhood to the south would like a visual buffering consideration. There are two ponds in the neighborhood to the south and she is concerned for drainage and contamination from this development. She said they have a problem maintaining their pond there, and want to know if they will experience additional maintenance problems. She said the existing trees were old growth and many were planted by Mr. Lundquist. She would like measurements to determine numbers of trees, and would like to know how to guarantee tree preservation. Barry Shaffer Mr. Shaffer is a neighbor to the south and he has a view of the orchard especially in winter. He said they lost trees that were part of the buffering due to an easement. Patches of Norway Pine are on the site and he asked if some could be moved into the buffer zone and create a larger stretch of bulk for the three lots to the south of the plat. He expressed concern for contaminants and the sewage area leaching into wells to the south. Ron Weber Mr. Weber is an adjoining neighbor. He said that autos pass on the right on the shoulder of Lake Elmo Avenue at the crest of the hill. He said he wants to develop a parcel across the street. He asked if the road is regulation size and if there is adequate safety for pedestrians on the trail on the road. Another neighbor said the hill makes it difficult for him to get out of his driveway. Open space is beautiful and the development is terrific. He said the apple trees will be a big problem. THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 9:44 P.M. Tim Freeman said water drainage is watched closely by several agencies and code does not allow FT DRAFT DAFT RAFT them to drain onto other properties. He said that the city has an arborist who will be consulted at the development stage; and, that the main vehicle for protection of the trees will be the covenants and restrictions. Sewage into wells is monitored by MPCA. They review community systems and city engineer reviews individual systems. The city and state have ordinances against pollution. Right turn and a bypass lane is anticipated for Lake Elmo Avenue. Washington County will probably require it. Road width is 22 feet by ordinance. The Planner said the City does not have a tree ordinance. He said it is in the developer's best interest to keep as many trees as possible. Chairman Helwig suggested that a common well is a must. The Chairman reconvened the meeting at 9:02 p.m. after a ten minute recess. M/S/F, Deziel/Armstrong, To recommend allowing a multiple wastewater treatment system because the applicant has demonstrated adequate cause to have smaller areas for drainfields. VOTE: 1:8. M/S/P, Ptacek/Armstrong, To approve the application for an Open Space Preservation Concept Plan of DISCOVER CROSSING subject to conditions and based on findings in the staff report but change condition number 5 to require that the development stage plan and preliminary plat include an easement graphic for Mn/DOT alterations for east/west circulation at the frontage road of Highway 36. Commissioner Ptacek said he has no problem with the curved road and roundabout if that east - west circulation is done. VOLE: 9:0. DRAFT DRAFT LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Date: May 4, 2005 for the Meeting of May 9, 2005 Applicant: MBM Development, LLC Location: Southwest Quadrant of Highway 36 and Lake Elmo Avenue Requested Action: Open Space Preservation (OP) Concept Plan Land Use Plan Guiding: RAD Existing Zoning: RR Site History and Existing Conditions: Review of City address and development files regarding this site (5744 Lake Elmo Avenue) reveals no City actions or permits of consequence in recent years. There have been City permits issued over the past decades for re -roofing and a pole barn, but no land use issues or violations are reflected in the City records. The 72 acre site with a single home and related outbuildings is approximately 70% forested, with a partially forested apple orchard, some tilled land and water features composing the 30% balance. A majority of the site (excepting the tilled portion) is rolling terrain, with approximately 75 feet of topographic difference from the high point (NE comer of the apple orchard) to the low point (wetland adjacent to he Lake Elmo Avenue). The applicant reports that no slopes exceed 24%. The applicant has identified probable wetland areas on the site — to be confirmed by the Valley Branch Watershed Staff based on a formal Wetlands Delineation Report. Discussion and Analysis: Staff has reviewed the applicant's graphics and calculations for compliance with the specific design standards of the OP Ordinance — to the extent practical at the Concept Plan Stage. Except with respect to buffer setbacks in some locations it appears that the Concept complies with those applicable OP standards that can be determined at the Concept Stage. We note that the two conceptual house pads along the south site border appear to be located closer than 200 feet from the south site property line where 200 feet is required. No waiver from the 200 foot buffer standard is proposed for those lots. Any Concept Plan approval action based on the graphics that have presented should not imply that any such waiver is approved. We also note that the applicant does propose to substitute a 100 foot buffer along the west site border based on the land to the west being eligible for OP development in the future. No specific plan for the alternative method of buffering is shown, but we suspect that tree line within the proposed 100 foot buffer will be suggested by the applicant as sufficient to meet the intent of the ordinance. We do observe the conceptual building pads of Lots 11 and 12 fail to provide the full 100 foot buffer. Any Concept Plan approval action based on the graphics that have presented should not imply waiver of the 100 foot buffer is approved in those cases. While review comments have not been received from Washington County (as Lake Elmo Avenue is also CSAH 17) as of this writing, Valley Branch has commented (attached). Based on the limited design data required with an OP Concept Plan, Valley Branch notes that there may be an issue with some lots as to building elevation in relation to landlocked ponds. The applicant will be expected to address these potential elevation issues with its Valley Branch permit, and the City Development Stage Plan. Prior to Concept Plan submission staff met with the applicant's engineer to discuss general design issues for this site. Staff had advised the applicant's engineer regarding some key infrastructure concerns as follows: 1. The assumption that this site would be served by a community (Constructed Wetlands Wastewater Treatment or equivalent). The applicant instead proposes "joint" conventional drainfield wastewater treatment. Staff does not believe this is a proper approach with a site of this scale. Community wastewater treatment has been found feasible on sites of this scale in the past (Whistling Valley 1 and 2, The Hamlet, and Tamarack Farms come to mind), and should be the alternative used here to insure single point wastewater treatment monitoring, as well as in -place sewer laterals should a connection to even more centralized sewer treatment be required in the future. 2. We advised the applicant's engineer that the City would specify a single community water supply and water mains be installed with this project in lieu of 24-27 separate wells — which equal 23-26 additional routes for potential future aquifer contamination. Staff will be immediately recommending to the City Council an amendment to the City Code requiring single point community water supplies in all new developments not yet served by Public water supply. 3. Staff has also advised the applicant's engineer that a "reasonably direct" street should extend from Lake Elmo Avenue to the site west border, since we anticipate that future modifications to State Highway 36 will severely restrict access from Lake Elmo streets. We believe it is imperative for the City to plan for a street routing parallel to and close to State Highway 36 to permit reasonable access by Lake Elmo residents to alternative Highway 36 access points in the future. While the applicant has demonstrated an attempt to comply, we question whether the "roundabout" (with a monument sign, no Less) or the significant swing to the south meets the "reasonable" test. 4. The applicant's engineer has discussed the OP density and lot count (24 or 27 lots) with staff prior to submission of the Concept Plan. At that time we could not guess whether the RAD density amendment (0.40 to 0.45) that was recommended for the Comp Plan by the Planning Commission would continue in the Plan at the City Council level. We still can not as of this writing. No Concept approval for this site should be for more than 24 lots based on the current Plan and OP Ordinance. Findings and Recommendations: Staff suggested Findings include: 1. Except as noted regarding OP buffer compliance, the OP Concept Plan generally complies with the OP design standards as can be determined at the Concept Plan Stage. 2. The Concept Plan is generally consistent with the purpose of the Open Space Preservation Ordinance. 3. The Concept Plan generally complies with the Comprehensive Plan. While staff recommends the Concept Plan be recommended for approval by the Planning Commission, we do so subject to the following conditions — all of which should be adhered to with the OP Development Stage OP Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and Preliminary Plat: 1. All house pads shall be at least 200 feet form the south property line and 100 feet from the west property line. 2. Applicant shall clearly demonstrate by graphics the year round effectiveness of buffering proposed within the 100 foot west OP buffer. 3. Applicant shall submit preliminary plans to provide water supply from a single community well and lateral service to home sites. 4. Applicant shall submit preliminary plans to treat wastewater with a single Constructed Wetlands Wastewater Treatment System (or technologically equivalent) with sewer laterals to the individual home sites. 5. The Development Stage Plan and Preliminary Plat shall show the east/west street with a less curvilinear alignment and without the "roundabout". 6. Deletion of the project monument sign. 7. The Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Play shall include no more than 24 building lots unless the Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Ordinance has been officially amended to allow a higher lot count. 8. Compliance with Valley Branch Watershed District recommendations as determined to be applicable by the City Engineer.

No.: 13267.000 From: Thomas Prew, P. E. Routing: Date: May 6, 2005 1 have reviewed the concept plan submittal dated April 20, 2005, and offer the following comments: Streets A roundabout is planned near the entrance off of Lake Elmo Avenue. Although it is very close to this intersection, do not feel it will have an impact on its operation. I feel it may be better used at the intersection further west, as there will be more crossing traffic, and it would be more centrally located to aid 'n traffic calming. The design of the roundabout shall meet AASHTO standards and be designed for WB-52 vehicles. The street is shown with a 22-foot driving surface that includes a 5-foot wide stamped and colored trail. This does not meet the City's standards. By City Code, the street width shall be 22 to 24 feet. We recommend a standard City street be built, with a separate sidewalk or trail adjacent to the road. We generally sign the 22 to 24-foot wide streets at 25 MPH, and have not had significant speeding complaints. We feel the proposed on road trail will, over time, disappear due to loss of paint, seal coating, and overlays. It will be very expensive for the City to maintain this on -road -trail in the manner it is originally designed. We feel it is better to have a permanent sidewalk/trail along the road that separates the traffic and pedestrians. The alignment matches very well with the proposed street in Deer Glen. It is very important that the road in this development be considered a through route, and that the future connection to Deer Glen is shown in our comprehensive plan. An access permit from Washington County will be required. It appears that sight distances at the proposed intersection are adequate. Drainage A small amount of ponding is shown in the southeast comer of the plat. Additional ponding will be needed. An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Discover Crossing Page 2 May 6, 2005 City of Lake Elmo, Minnesota The 100-year flood for the pond is higher than the proposed street elevation. We will need to look at this closely before preliminary plat approval. Septic System There is no community septic system shown. It is not required to be shown at this stage of the development process. From discussion with the engineer, there will be shared locations for individual on -site septic systems.

Is it best to design it for so many housing units? Can the number of units be reduced, especially in consideration of the impact upon the forested areas and ponds of the land? What are the types of homes that will be built here? Will they be like those in developments such as Carriage Station? or The Forest? What will the city do to ensure that the architecture is suited for the area? Representatives for the development said that as many trees as possible will be saved in the placement of the houses. What are the specifics of that commitment? Is there a written plan to do so? Who sets the standards for saving the trees? How many will be removed? How is this monitored during the development? How would this be enforced? The concept design does not include specifics regarding septic treatment techniques. How are nearby homeowners assured that they will not suffer adverse affects to their wells under any technique adopted? There is a run-off pond indicated in the conceptual map. It is close to the homes in the next set of properties. Where will ponding be located? No matter what ponding is implemented, what assurance is there that the run-off from the new lots will not run through to nearby ponds and cause build-up of growth or contamination? The design concept indicates leaving the "orchard are? open. This is the part of the land most adjacent to existing homes and its use and upkeep would have the greatest effect. What specifically will be done with this area? Will there be a specific commitment to a planned use and maintenance that can be relied upon by the neighbors? At least two homes will be exposed to this to -be common area; will the city ask the developer to put in a barrier of trees as a shelter for these neighbors? Other developments have moved trees taken from the new house sites and replanted them. This would be a good for trees, good for neighbors, and good will in the community. The map for thg design concept has a road out of the development to the west. Does this indicate that this is not to be self-contained community? If this road leads into the next development (now farmed land) and on into the area being developed for the "mega" church and its housing sites, this is a significant traffrcconcern. Consider, if this development has 24 houses and the next development (into which the road would lead) would have approximately the same and the church hundreds of parishioners what the number of ears would be using this road. The city needs to view the traffic impact to the land, the safety for the exit onto Co. Rd. 17 close to major intersection, and the traffic flow with scrutiny and concern. It would be best that only the road for this development be able tp enter or exit onto Co. Rd. 17, keeping it a contained community from any other entering or exiting traffic. The design concept contains plans for a large stone bridge. It is proposed to be large enough for people to walk beneath, has tall stone sides and high reaching lights. It appears monumental. It is not appropriate for the area or the site. A bridge of more modest design and natural character would be more of an asset to this land. L� m PRELIMINARY `Th Ilq PROPOSED FRONTAGE ROAD PRELIMINARY Lake Elmo City Council May 17, 2005 Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use & Zoning No. 9B Agenda Item: CDBG — Amended Contract for Cimarron Gas Service Project Background Information for Mav 9.2005: Washington County has proposed the brief attached CDBG Contract Amendment that : 1.) Adds $72,000 of CDBG funding to the Cimarron Project (as we applied for in December); and, 2.) Extends all project Milestone dates into 2005-2006 (from 2004-2005). The City Attorney has reviewed the Amendment and offers not legal objections. On May 11 the Community Improvement Commission considered a proposal from Administrator Rafferty to revise the City strategy to address this project — primarily responsive to the very limited bidding interest the City has found from qualified tradesmen. The new strategy will essentially first establish a list of income qualified unit owners. Then the project will be re -bid specifying the units of those qualifying for 100% City/CDBG financial assistance, thereby providing the bidders an opportunity to determine the exact circumstances upon which to bid. Hopefully this will result in a better project pricing since bidders will not need to "cover" for unknown circumstances. A second feature of the revised City strategy will be to amend the present Manufactured Housing Ordinance to require the park owners to become responsible for inspection and report to the City as to gas service integrity for all units within the Park.

The applicant has subsequently submitted revised plans that modifies the original building design significantly and proposes an additional 55o square feet of new building area — and additional parking to comply with the Code formula. In addition, the new proposal crosses the percentage threshold for exemption from the GB architectural standards, and the entire exterior surfacing (new and existing) has been therefore revised to be brick with cedar accents, and the roof as metal. Finally, the applicant no longer proposes a new pylon sign. The existing sign will be simply re -faced. The Planning Commission reviewed the revised plans and unanimously adopted a recommendation to approve the amended application at its May 9, 2005 meeting. Person re i ible: Action items: Motion to adopt Resolution #2005 - , approving an amended Site Ci Pi r Plan for 11051 Stillwater Blvd. per plans staff dated May 5, 2005, based on the recommendations of and subject to the conditions proposed by the Planning Commission.

Amended Applicant's Documentation Time Allocated: CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2005- A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AMENDED SECTION 520 S11'L PLAN FOR 11051 STILLWATER BOULEVARD WHEREAS, Bahr Management, has submitted a Section 520 Site Plan for site modifications that include moving the existing building to another site and construction of a new a 2,600 square foot building at 11051 Stillwater Blvd. along with parking area, and WHEREAS, at its May 9, 2005 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of this site plan per plans staff dated May 5, 2005 as same on file with the City Administrator, subject to the following conditions: 1. Confirmation from the applicant that the installed height of the parking lot Lighting fixtures be no more than 20 feet above grade — regardless of pole height. 2. Wall pack lighting cannot have swivel mounts unless the lighting angle is less than parallel. 3. Landscape Islands must be installed consistent with code requirement because more than 25 parking spaces are being created. 4. Compliance with the requirements of the City Attorney, City Engineer, Valley Branch Watershed District (as found applicable by the City Engineer) and Mn/DOT. NOW, THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED, that the City Council for the City of Lake Elmo does hereby approve the Amended Section 520 Site Plan based upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission. ADOPTED, by the Lalce Elmo City Council on the 17th day of May, 2005. Dean Johnston, Mayor ATTEST: Martin Rafferty, City Administrator DRAFT PRAFT SITE PLAN REVIEW —11951 STILLWATER BLV — BAHR CONSTRUCTION The Planner explained that this is a new application due to substantial changes to the original. Now the existing building is to be moved and relocated and a new building would be constructed. This building would be 550 square feet larger than one there at present. Additional parking reflects additional floor area. Outdoor dining for a cafe affects parking formulas and the applicant accounts for that in his plan. The applicant is required to meet architectural design standards of the general business zone. The exterior is all brick with cedar trim and a metal roof. A new sign plan utilizes the existing structure by adding a planter and changing words. There are more trees lost on the south properly line as indicated by Xs on the plan but there are no standards for tree counts. Staff recommends approval with 3 conditions: 1) Adjust outdoor lighting so installed height is no more than 20 feet. 2) Wall pack lighting cannot have swivel mounts unless the lighting angle is Tess than parallel. 3) Parking has gone over the threshold of 25 spaces for a landscape island or islands to be installed consistent with code requirement. Rodney Bahr, Applicant Mr. Bahr said the Landscape Plan in the packet shows a planting area along the Mn/DOT right of way. Outdoor parking is based on 24 seats and four staff.. Commissioner Sedro asked if the reason for landscape islands is to soak up rain. The Planner said that is secondary, it is to break up the mass of asphalt. In the Landscape Plan, the peninsula in the far west could qualify for it, and that requirement might be met. Mr. Bahr said they assessed the trees to the south, and they are not in good condition. They will fix the drainage and replace them with heartier varieties. Corrugated steel is not exactly a standing seam metal roof. Mr. Bahr said the galvanized corrugated is a treated product that holds its appearance. He said the Old Village should have buildings of character instead of boxes with awnings. The city should work to keep features and character. M/S/P, Roth/Schneider, To recommend approval of the 520 Site Plan for 11051 Stillwater Boulevard subject to conditions one through three of staff report dated May 5, 2005. VOTE: 9:0. D AFT 0 AFT LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Date: May 5, 2005 for the Meeting of May 9, 2005 Applicant: Bahr Management Location: 11051 Stillwater Blvd. Requested Action: Section 520 Site Plan — Remodel/Addition Land Use Plan Guiding: "C" (Commercial) Existing Zoning: GB (General Business) Site History and Existing Conditions: The site is 1.1 acres with an existing 2,057 square foot (foot print) structure that was converted from a residence to an office building in 1980 following rezoning by the City from R-1 to GB. City records reveal no other actions of significance on the site except a modification of the sign face message for the occupant insurance agency in 2004. The City Council approved a Site Plan for a 2,046 square foot addition and remodeling of structure on April 5, 2005 based on the Planning Commission's recommendation. Modifications to the site/parking/landscaping were included in the approved plan. The applicant has subsequently proposed significant modifications to that approved plan that dictate processing the plan as a new application. Discussion and Analysis: The applicant's revised plan for the site proposes demolition of the west portion of the existing building, and subsequent addition of 3,321 square feet to the remaining existing building. The total resulting floor area would be 4,658 — or, 555 square feet more than the previously approved plan. The new plan sets the building addition to the west back from the the original plan, and adds 6 off- street parking spaces in front of the building. Other significant features modified from the previously approved plan include: 1. Exterior surfacing (brick with cedar accents) and roofing (standing seam metal) that comply with the GB Architectural Standards. The project no longer qualifies for the exemption from those standards. 2. A "cafe"' component, with limited seasonal outdoor seating. This modifies the off-street parking requirements from the previous plan — which has been accomplished on the plan. 3. Revison of the free standing sign proposal to utilize the existing sign structure with changed text/face rather than introduce a new sign. 4. Staff review of the new proposed site plan for compliance with GB and other related standards reveals the following regarding the proposed plans: 1. All parking, GB setback standards, and GB site coverage standards (for site of less than 4 acres) are complied with. 2. The Section 520 landscaping value minimum is complied with. With the increase of off- street parking to a total of 27, the plan must now include parking area landscape island(s). None are depicted on the plan. 3. The proposed exterior lighting generally complies with code standards if the overall fixture height does not exceed 20 feet from grade. Any pedestal height added to the specified 20 foot light pole will result in non-compliance. We note that the wall mount lighting will be on a swivel mount. Those fixtures must be set such that the lenses are tilted either downward or not more than parallel to the ground surface. 4. Proposed wall signage is compliant with Sign Ordinance standards. 5. The applicant proposes to upgrade the present holding tank wastewater system. Findings and Recommendations: Except with respect to the lack of parking landscape island(s) — which are now required by this plan - staff finds the modified Site Plan to generally comply with applicable City Code and Zoning Ordinance standards for a project as described. A recommendation of approval is suggested. Planning Commission Actions Requested: Motion to reconunend approval of a Section 520 Site plan at 11051 Stillwater Blvd. per plans staff -dated May 5, 2005, subject to the following conditions: 1. Confirmation from the applicant that the installed height of the parking lot lighting fixtures be no more than 20 feet above grade — regardless of pole height; and that the wall mount units will direct all light downward. 2. Compliance with the requirements of the City Attorney, City Engineer, Valley Branch Watershed District (as found applicable by the City Engineer), and MnDOT. 3. Installation of landscape parking island(s) in accordance with City Code formula. leru �Ao Charles E. Dild, City Planner Attachments: 1. Location Map 2.

Certainly lessons have been learned by both developers and the City over that time period, and protection of the environment is even more of an issue today than it was in the late 1990's. We have as a City witnessed during recent months the consequences of groundwater contamination. Every new water well that is drilled, and every conventional private wastewater system that is installed adds the risk (however slight) that future ground water contamination issues could arise, The. City is now in the process of expanding the municipal water service area — which then opens the opportunity for feasible future additional expansion to areas of the City yet to be developed as OP neighborhoods. In addition, over 8 years of experience with Constructed Wetlands and similar "high tech" wastewater treatment has demonstrated that those technologies for wastewater treatment are feasible as an alternative to ISTS and Regional mechanical treatment. In addition, should there be future problems with wastewater treatment where the system is neighborhood centralized (with laterals installed), connection to new treatment alternative is vastly simplified (and less costly) than retro-fitting multiple homes. The foregoing observations leads City staff to recommend to the City Council that the City Code be amended to require all new OP developments to be serviced by either municipal water supply or a community (single source) private water supply system — regardless of project scale or location. This strategy will likely result in a preference for larger scale developments (for system efficiency) and likely favor development timing of parcels where City water can be brought to the site at reasonable cost (particularly if the developer is required to pay for long "runs" of water main to reach the site, and the City continues to reject assessing intervening properties). This strategy will require some additional study and a carefully-cra$ed ordinance amendment. Before staff expends time on those tasks the City Council is respectfully requested to provide direction regarding the general concept of mandatory single point water supply and wastewater treatment.

In addition, it was discovered that a portion of the land included was Abstract and a portion Torrens (like oil and water at the Courthouse). These findings have resulted in the preparation of an amended legal description and certified survey for the Minor Subdivision. The physical description and intended outcome of the action as previously approved has not changed, only the legal descriptions/survey. Persian r ski onsible: Action items: cs-o .
