Lake Elmo Jaycee representatives gave an update on upcoming activities. There are no
members from Lake Elmo in the Lake Elmo Jaycees so a challenge went out to the
Mayor if he can recruit ten members between now and August, he can throw ten pies at a
Jaycee member during Huff n Puff Days.
Tom Becken, 11860 2151 Street N., reported there is no blacktop left on the street. The
snowplow tore up the blacktop and piled it on the curbs so it is in bad need of repair. The
City Engineer will be contacting Mr. Becken.
Ann Bucheck, 2301 Legion Avenue N., said she just received her real estate taxes and
every taxing district lowered their taxes except for the City of Lake Elmo. She is
concerned on what the City is spending its money on. She submitted a written inquiry

0028
Consider a resolution of support for HF3997 and SF 3703 concerning solid waste landfill
being sited in high risk areas; Resolution No. 2008-019.
City Administrator Hoyt provided a resolution supporting legislation sponsored in the
House by Representative Bunn, HF3997, and in the Senate by Senator Saltzman, SF3707
that prohibits citing new landfills in areas with high risk for groundwater contamination.
This would directly impact the proposed location of the Excel Energy Fly Ash facility in
West Lakeland.

REGULAR AGENDA:
Consider and select the development scenarios for the Village AUAR and order the
AUAR, Resolution No. 2008-018
Mayor Johnston introduced the item.
Administrator Hoyt presented the Village planning process and a draft timeline for the
village project. She explained that the cost of the AUAR of $219,250 would be
reimbursed through fees to developers. She explained that if the City Council approved
additional scenarios beyond the original AUAR proposal's budget ($11,720 per scenario)
that the City's 2008 C1P included $50,000 for Village project costs.
Ciara Schlichting, Bonestsroo, presented the proposed Village Master plan development
scenarios and the comprehensive plan scenario and explained the Alternative Urban
Areawide Review (AUAR) environmental process for the City Council. She explained
that the AUAR did not identify a preferred development scenario and did not include
financial information. Her presentation included information on the AUAR Advisory
Panel input and public comment. Ms. Schlichting suggested a December, 2008
completion date for this process.
The Mayor and Council Members asked questions of the presenters.
Members of the public asked questions and commented on the three development
scenarios and the comprehensive plan scenario.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 1, 2008 2
Todd Williams, 3025 Lake Elmo Avenue N., stated given the input of the public to
restrict the AUAR to 600 units and the economy, the City Council should represent the
voting public that the City does not need any more information.
Ann Bucheck, 2301 Legion Avenue N., asked the Council to look at the total picture of
what 650,000 sq.ft. of commercial in addition to the senior housing would look like. The
petition with 76 signatures that was submitted asked for only 600 units to be studied. At
the public hearing the citizens asked for only 600 units to be studied. Ms. Bucheck asked
to delay the beginning of the AUAR because of the uncertain times.
Greg Schlink, Bruggeman Homes, 3564 Rolling View, Dr., White Bear Lake, served on
the AUAR Advisory Panel, stated there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the
future of the old Village. We are talking about flexibility and 1000-1600 units are
consistent with the master plan.
Wayne Prowse, 697 Julep Avenue N., stated there's isn't anybody south of 10th street
saying let's put the development all in the old Village, but the residents who opposed
development in the village area need to consider what is fair to the rest of the City. If you
think you can put it all somewhere else and it won't, come your way, you are wrong.
Deb Lyzenga, 38 Cimarron, stated we hear the word "change" so often these days that we
become numb to the enormity of the tasks ahead. The City has a unique window of
opportunity right now and we should stop and take a breath before we go any further.
(Attachment 41)
Ed Gorman, Gorman Restaurant, 11011 Stillwater Blvd., stated in order to get the
information you've got to study the range. Like it or not we've got to deal with the Met
Council. The residents have to face facts that development will be coming. If the people
want to put a small amount of development in the Village, then those people better be
prepared for what that fight will cost. The data is needed to make an informed decision.
Deb Krueger, 4452 Lake Elmo Avenue N., asked 1) define institutional development, 2)
development of schools -clarify on how to expand, 3) concerned that the comprehensive
plan boundaries cuts their farm in half —don't want their farm divided in half, 4) what
considerations to purchase greenways and green belts and 5) what about TDR —transfer
of density.
Ciara Schlichting answered that the AUAR looks at impacts on schools, but does not look
at TDR. The Krueger farm is not anticipated for development. They will look at tools
and options for greenways and connections as the City moves forward.
Margaret Carlson, 8735 27th Street N., served on the AUAR Advisory Panel, stated the
panel spent many hours reviewing information, listened to all citizens and worked with
the consultant and City staff.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 1, 2008
John Schiltz, Lake Elmo Inn, 3442 Lake Elmo Avenue, noted that those of you who
oppose this, if you would have had these views years ago, some of you wouldn't even be
here. I think the farmers and the people who have land deserve their day to retire. You
are denying a lot of people the rights to pursue that. The 201 project supposedly was to
be the solution to failing septic systems. When the sewer line comes in he would be one
of the first to hook up and pay his fair share.
Dave Screaton, 711 Manning Avenue, suggested the City study all four scenarios.
Susan Dunn, 11018 Upper 33rd St., favored looking at scenarios with low density and
senior housing.
John Ames, 9799 51st Street N., stated we have to preserve the things we like about the
old Village ---barbershop, library, parks, etc. We need clarity as to what is required by
the Met Council.
Todd Bruchu, 3150 Klondike Avenue, Parks Commissioner and served on the AUAR
Advisory Panel, was not in favor of ordering an AUAR beyond the 600 units that is
specified in the comprehensive plan. If we chew up the open space in the old Village
there won't be enough space left to enjoy by the community.
Todd Ptaceck, 812 Julep Avenue N., Chair of Planning Commission and served on the
AUAR Advisory Panel, said he is a minority rep south of 10th Street which has not had
equal representation. He favored broader distribution of housing units.
Mike Howard, 883 Jasmine Avenue N., moved from Woodbury and hoped to retire living
in Lake Elmo. He asked the Council to table a decision for a year until the economy
takes off.
Bob VanZandt, 8110 Hidden Bay Trail, stated there is a new administration, the battle
with the Met Council was lost and the City has to move on.
Gary Carlson, 8735 27' Street, stated the village master plan principles are a logical set
of principles. The Village master plan sketch is logical and sensible. Based on
Bonestroo's input, no one has been overlooked. This plan is a wonderful outcome of
what could have been a bad situation. Let the Council do their job.
Pete Schiltgen, 10880 Stillwater Blvd., requested that he be able to speak more than the
three minutes. The City Council agreed by consensus to allow him more than the three
minutes allocated to each speaker. Mr. Schiltgen said Lake Elmo is no longer ruarl and
we can ever go back, but we can plan for new shops, new parks, affordable housing and
seniors' apartments. In order to do these things you need people. He supports looking at
all scenarios. (Attachment #2)

Wendy Griffin, 2835 Lake Elmo Avenue N., asked how the plan with proposed high
density affects the airport. The airport zone and expansion is guided lower density per
Ciara.
Ed Nielsen, 9498 Stillwater Blvd. N., stated the City should look at the big picture for
other areas in the City for development.
Paul Bruggeman, Bruggeman Homes, 3564 Rollingview Dr., White Bear Lake, said their
plan has parks and ballfields. As developers they have the biggest financial risk and
asked the Council to move forward.
Sarah Hietpas, 3704 Kindred Ct., wanted to minimize impact on home and businesses.
Administrator Hoyt stated that looking at housing units and Recs are a separate matter,
Steve Bona, Bruggeman Homes and served on the AUAR Advisory Panel, supported
studying all four scenarios. A much more informed decision can be made with the
results.
Following the public input, the City Council discussed what scenarios to include in the
AUAR for study other than the required comprehensive plan scenario from several
different perspectives.
Council Member Smith stated her support for studying the three Village Master plan
scenarios so that all of the information necessary to determine the future plans for the
Village so the council was well informed as the council planned for a future vision of the
Village with neighborhood style commercial and residential development along with
public amenities.
Council Member Park stated her support for studying the three Village Master plan
scenarios so that the council was fully aware of the environmental impacts from these so
that a good choice could be made about the number of housing units to include in the
final preferred development scenario.
Council Member Johnson stated her support for studying the three Village Master plan
scenarios so the City could gather comprehensive information about the environmental
impacts to better make an informed decision in what was a long learning and planning
process for the Village still ahead.
Mayor Johnston stated his support for studying the three Village Master plan scenarios
because the 600 unit scenario would add value after hearing residents support it and
because the other two scenarios would be very informative during this planning process
that would take the next two years to complete.
Council Member DeLapp raised several questions about how the proposed Village
Master plan scenarios complied with the Memo of Understanding the city had with the
Metropolitan Council and with other Metro Council requirements like the three units per

acre. He also presented some graphics of land use calculations that he made on
development of the Village. Council Member DeLapp reminded the Council that the
comprehensive plan scenario with 600 new housing units was an important scenario to be
evaluated as part of the AUAR since it had been approved by the City.

To: Lake Elmo City Council & Staff
From: Debbie Lyzenga; Resident
RE: Future Planning
Dear Mayor, Council Members, City Staff, and Fellow Citizens,
It seems clear that we are living at a time when the need to re-examine our
priorities and scrutinize our past practices is required if we are to move forward.
Our economic and environmental policies of the past are now serving up some
unpleasant realities that need to be addressed with due diligence. The housing
bubble has burst, global climate change is real, and the by-product of our
consumer -driven excesses are all coming home to roost. We hear the word
"change" so much these days that we become numb to the enormity of the
responsibility that comes along with defining and incubating the changes we so
critically need. But we must also appreciate that some things simply can't tolerate
change.
Lake Elmo is not insulated from these important challenges, and it needs to
incorporate solutions into its future planning if it is to maintain both its historic
character, and be a responsible neighbor in the Greater Twin Cities Community.
As a former member of The Lake Elmo Planning Commission I participated in the
long, and sometimes frustrating process of envisioning a new Comprehensive
Plan for The City. As a resident living south of 10th Street I was understandably
concerned about the impact future growth would have on my immediate
neighborhood, as well as adjacent neighborhoods. My concerns are what led to
my civic involvement. As a member of the Lake Elmo Community I also sought to
preserve and protect our unique Old Village, understanding its significance in a
world that frequently puts profit before purpose.
We are here tonight as another important step is taken in the long process
of enlarging our community, and I'm compelled to reflect on this process. Years
ago, when we first negotiated the distribution of housing resources, I would have
to admit I was rather uninformed about all that would be involved in extending
sewer to The Old Village, and I was equally insensitive to the enormous changes
The Old Village would face. I doubt I was alone in my inexperience, and I'm sure
others were equally overwhelmed at the time by the decisions we were under the
proverbial gun to make, If I were making those decisions today, I would choose
differently. 1 would choose to locate all the required, sewered housing, and
associated population increases exclusively along the 1-94 corridor, and I say that
being a resident south of le Street.
Seeing the toll in money, time, and anguish that redevelopment of The Old
Village is costing our City, 1 simply think the price is too high. We are all too
familiar with the notion of "staying the course" when all common reason suggests
that stopping, and rethinking our options would be far more productive. I challenge
the Mayor and City Council to have the courage tonight to "stop", and take a
breathe before making any further decisions.
As I said at the beginning of my remarks, we are living in challenging times,
and it's time for thinking "outside the box", and being innovative rather than
inflexible. This whole dilemma began decades ago when well-intentioned people
purchased tracts of land along an interstate corridor. They bought it with the
reasonable expectation that one day it would develop, and net them a return on
their investment. There's nothing wrong with this, and there's nothing wrong with
them wanting to realize their goals in their own lifetimes, This corridor was always
going to have to yield to development; it was just a matter of when.
We have a unique window of opportunity right now, given the status of the
housing industry, the general state of the economy, and the growing realization
that our energy crisis is growing, and our transportation models will need to
change. Sometimes momentum stops because a vehicle has run out of gas, and
sometimes you need to stop it before it runs off a cliff. If we don't change the way
we drive everything from our economy to our cars, we will surely destroy our way
of life and our planet. The challenge is not to get the car started again, it's to build
a new kind of car, and a new road that leads to a better way of life, and not just
another dead end.
I suggest we use this window of opportunity, before it closes, to enter into a
new kind of dialogue with the Metropolitan Council, and consider redeveloping the
1-94 Corridor with a new vision that incorporates the best technologies for
compact, "green" housing and business ventures; centralized district heating &
energy resources; solar and wind development; and modern mass transit
solutions. We need to build a better mousetrap; perhaps the next Energy Park for
the 21st century. Rather than viewing this idea with apprehension and a sense of
loss, I'd rather view this as Lake Elmo stepping forward to be the model, across
the country, for cutting -edge, environmentally progressive city planning. I'd like to
see The City partner with The Metropolitan Council to attract the best intellectual,
environmental, and socially responsible minds and methods to face the urban
development challenges our times simply demand. We can face our future with
fear and frustration, or we can face it with invention and optimism.
Change is inevitable, but it is not absolute. Wisdom comes in knowing what
is appropriate to change, and what is enhanced by leaving it just the way it is.
Wisdom commands that The Old Village be left alone to develop out of its own
2
needs, and in its own time. This is not its time, So I ask the City Council to
consider the proposal I have articulated tonight. The original fear was that by
developing only the 1-94 corridor our City would somehow be fractured years down
the road when new neighborhoods had been built, Unfortunately that fracturing
process seems to have already begun, and not one home has been built yet.
Please pay attention to that, and have the wisdom and courage to chart a new
course.
Sincerely, Debbie Lyzenga

Lake Elmo City Council Meeting
April I, 2008
During the last few years, there have been many changes in and around Lake Elmo. For
example, we've seen almost a complete change in the council. There have been three
different administrators, three planners, and I think a different finance director, even a
different fire chief, and a different maintenance crew.
Also over the last few years, we have been learning a new vocabulary AUAR, MOU,
moratorium, forced main, gravity main, and life station TCE, vapor testing, letters of
intent, contingencies, and I must say that I had never heard of a Power Point until now.
There are rec units, densities, and flood plains, Met Council and lawsuits —then rezoning,
roundabouts, c . er schools, and YMCA's. But the phrase that really sticks out above
all the rest to me is "Rural Character." Over and over we hear how people say they want
to preserve the rural character of Lake Elmo. They want to keep Lake Elmo Rural.
I want to talk a little bit about what Lake Elmo was like when it was really rural.
The thing that made Lake Elmo rural was the people. People who are now gone people
with names like Lohman, Schnieder, Riebie, Brookman, Meyer, Schiltgen, Buetel, Eder,
Hasely, and Wier. There are lots more like Hertzfeld, Ried, and Busch, Kern and
Krueger, Goetschel, Dittman and Hagberg.
When Lake Elmo was at its rural best, it was the farmers from the surrounding area that
really were its heart and soul. Probably the biggest business in town was the Creamery
the brick building still stands just east of the fire hall. Every day, 365 days of the year,
the farmers brought milk and cream to the creamery —it was a beehive of activity and
many times after the milk and cream were delivered, the farmers would go downtown to
do business.
Back in the days when Lake Elmo was like that, it was a wonderful place for a kid to
grow up.
There was the lumber yard; there were three farm equipment dealers in town —
International Harvester, John Deere, and Allis Chalmers. You could shop for a Chrysler
or Plymouth at Brookman's or a Cadillac or Pontiac at Meyer's and a Hudson at
Furseth's.
There was a railroad station where the mail bag would be tossed off the train and onto the
station platform. There was a post office and a hatchery —two grocery stores and a
general store -two feed mills, a bank, a filling station, and a harness shop. My very
favorite place of all was Louie Schnieder's blacksmith shop. Can you just imagine, as a
young boy watching Louie Schnieder work his magic at the forge and anvil. Watching
Louie h. mer the red hot iron into shapes and then sticking it into a vat of water to cool.
I can still see the steam and hear the hiss that the hot iron gave off when it was plunged
into the cold water. Louie could make anything from wagon wheels to hog feeders.
Back in the days when Lake Elmo was rural, everyone was referred to by his first name.
When Dad needed to go to the bank, it was to see Erwin, the hardware store to see
Gilbert, the blacksmith to see Louie, the filling station to see Folbert. The harness shop
was another special place where Mr. Grunky could repair harnesses or make new soles
for worn out shoes. And who could forget Mrs. LaRue and her candy store?
The reason I bring all this up is to point out that Lake Elmo has changed. It no longer is
rural because the people that made it so are gone. We can't ever go back again. Now
we've got to look ahead, look to a new day, a new town, and maybe create a new
character,
I think we have a very special and certainly a unique opportunity to really do something
fantastic. We can plan for new shops and stores new businesses, places where older
folks can walk to do business or just go and hangout. We could build senior housing,
affordable housing, and single family homes ball fields and playgrounds walking
trails and bike paths parks and lots of trees.
As I see it, to do these things we have to have people just like before, but looking
forward to the needs of future venerations. We need people —people to support the
businesses, people to pay the taxes, and people to be part of the new Lake Elmo.
I think it would be foolhardy to put restrictions on the AUAR study. I would liken it to
sending a battalion of Marines ashore to do battle, and before going over the side and into
the landing craft, handing each one three rounds of ammo and saying, that's all you get to
work with.
You've (We've) got a huge decision to make tonight, one that will impact this
community for many, many years.
I have one more thought to share. When I was a student at the U of M, my advisor and I
were putting together a class schedule for the upcoming quarter. Dr. Cole, my advisor,
leaned back in his chair and told me, "Probably two of the most important lessons to be
learned from this university are #1, Never, never demand respect —you must earn it. And
#2, Learn where to go for information, where to find the experts to help you make
decisions."
So let's give the AUAR people the tools and the latitude they need to do their job so we
can all make the right decision. I strongly support studying all three (the 600, the 1000,
and the 1600) scenarios.
you.

City Council
Date: 4/15/08
CONSENT
Item: 4
ITEM: Authorization to purchase plants and landscape materials for the May 3
Arbor Day / MnDot Landscape Partnership Program planting project.
SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Kathy Widin, City Forester
Carol Kriegler, Project Assistant
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
The City Council is being asked to authorize the purchase of plant materials for the May 3 Arbor
Day / MnDot Landscape Partnership Program planting project.
Requests for proposals for the materials were requested from 4 MnDot wholesale contracts
vendors. Vendors were requested to provide proposals based on 1 and 2 year warranties. 2
"Wholesale" proposals were received. Both proposals noted that industry standards are such that
"wholesale" purchases are not warranted.
Grove Nurseries $3,581.20
Bachman's Nursery Wholesale Center $2,378.69
Cross Nurseries DNS
Hild and Associates DNS
Staff responded to these proposals by requesting "retail" proposals with warranties from the
submitting firms. In addition, staff requested a proposal from a local nursery.
Grove Nurseries (1 year warranty) $6,266.10
Bachman's Nursery (1year warranty) $5,098.92
Abrahamson Nurseries (2 year warranty) $3,819.62
In addition to the plants, wood chips and other miscellaneous materials will be needed for the
planting project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Dr. Widin and staff recommend accepting the wholesale proposal from Bachman's Nursery
Wholesale Center. Bachman's has a reputation for being a provider of high quality plant
materials, Dr, Widin and staff feel that the likelihood of plant loss approaching the value of the
savings available by purchasing "wholesale" is very unlikely. If the city provides sufficient
watering during the growing season, the chance of plant failure is minimal,
REQUESTED ACTION:
Authorization to purchase plants "wholesale" in accordance with the May 3 planting project plan
from Bachman's Nursery Wholesale Center, as well as authorization to purchase miscellaneous
planting materials for the project in the amount not to exceed $4, 500.00, The MnDot Landscape
Partnership program agreement provides for the reimbursement of project costs up to $4, 500, 00,
