POLICY RECCOMENDER: The Planning Commission is recommending approval of a
preliminary plat for a new subdivision as requested by Lennar Corporation. The Subdivision
Ordinance requires that the City Council review and approval a preliminary plat before an
applicant may proceed with the preparation and recording of a final plat. The subdivision
request is being made by Lennar for property presently owned by Tammy Diedrich and Gerhard
Rieder within the 1-94 Corridor planning area.
FISCAL IMPACT: TBD — The City will require that the applicant enter into a developer's
agreement with the City to specify the financial responsibilities for various aspects of the
subdivision and related public improvements. The developer is expected to pay the Water
Availability Charge for the entire development at the time a final plat is approved (currently
$3,000 per unit) similar to other developments that are connecting to the Lake Elmo Avenue
water main.
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is being asked to consider a
request for approval of a Preliminary Plat from Lermar Corporation for a 46-unit singled family

attached (townhouse) development to be located on slightly over 15 acres of land immediately
east of Lake Elmo Avenue and north of the Hunters Crossing development. The proposed
development site is located within the City's 1-94 corridor planning area, and is in an area guided
for public sewer and water services. The preliminary plat has been prepared in response to the
City's Comprehensive Plan for the corridor, which guides this site for medium density urban
residential development. The Staff report to the Planning Commission concerning this request is
attached to this memorandum, and includes a detailed sutnmary of the request in addition to the
detailed Staff review and recommendation. The City Council was scheduled to review this
request at the 7/7/15 meeting, but consideration was postponed at request of the applicant. The
applicant has now requested that consideration be placed back on the agenda
The Planning Commission is recommending approval of the preliminary plat with several
conditions of approval. The suggested motion to adopt the Planning Commission
reconunendation is as follows:
"Move to adopt Resolution No. 2015-056 approving the Lennar Diedrich Townhouses
preliminary plat with 16 conditions of approval."
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT:, The attached staff
report to the Planning Commission provides an overview of the request and a list of comments
and recommendations from Staff. In order to address the initial set of comments from the City,
the developer prepared an updated site plan prior to the Planning Commission meeting that
reduced the overall number of units by two and that changed the originally planned private street
to a public street meeting City specifications. Although the construction plans have not yet been
updated, the Planning Commission's review focused on the updated site plan. The City will still
need to review updated construction plans, and all previous review comments from the City
Engineer and County Engineer will need to be addressed by the applicant. Since the Planning
Commission meeting the developer has updated the landscape plan to provide a better overview
of how the site will look when completed.
The Planning Commission considered the preliminary plat at its June 22, 2015 meeting and
conducted a public hearing on the applicant's request at this time. No one spoke at the public
hearing.
The Planning Commission discussed the request and specifically issues associated with the
timing of improvements to 5th Street, the updated site plan, and potential issues associated with
the new configuration of lots. The Commission also noted that the developer would need to
address an ownership issue in the extreme southwestern portion of the plat. Specifically, Ryland
Homes owns a small remnant of land that is sandwiched between 5th Street and the Lennar
property. This property is shown as part of the Lennar plat, but it may be excluded from the
subdivision based on the developers' comments at the meeting. If this is the case, four of the lots
need be adjusted in order to provide adequate rear yard setbacks. This is not a major plat
concern, but will need to be addressed as part of a final plat submission. The Commission
adopted a finding of fact to document their concerns over this issue.

July 21, 2015
The Coinmission further discussed the status of parks in this area and the developer's request to
pay a fee in lieu of land dedication. Commissioners adopted a motion to include a finding that
there are no City parks within 'A mile of the subdivision site, The Commission also requested
one additional condition of approval to clarify that the developer must secure a written
agreement from Xcel Energy to perform the planned grading work within the existing power line
easement. The conditions of approval as amended by the Planning Commission are incorporated
into the draft resolution,
The Planning Commission adopted a motion to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat with
the findings and conditions as noted in the attached Resolution 2015-056. The motion passed
unanimously (7-0).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION (SWOT)j
Strengths • The preliminary plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and specifically the Urban Medium Density Residential land use
classification.
The project will connect to the Cottage Grove sewer interceptor
via a connection to the gravity line constructed across the project
site late last year.
The project will connect to the Lake Elmo Avenue water main
recently installed in this area.
Weaknesses • The two developers adjacent to 501Street have not yet agreed to
build this road as a joint project.
Opportunities • The development will include 46 REC units and will pay
connection fees for sewer and water service. The developer has
committed to paying the water availably charge for the entire
development ($138,000 based on the current fee schedule) with
the first phase of the final plat.
The project will include the construction of the initial segment of
501 Street to the east of Lake Elmo (which must either be
constructed as a public project or privately by the developer).
Threats • None identified.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above background information, Staff report and
Planning Commission recommendation, it is recommended that the City Council approve the
Lennar Diedrich Townhouses preliminary plat with the 16 conditions of approval as documented
in the resolution of approval by taking the following action / with the following motion:
"More to adopt Resolution No. 2015-056 approving the Lennar Diedrich Townhouses
preliminary plat with 16 conditions of'approval.'"

SUBMITTED BY: Kyle Klatt, Planning .Director
REVIEWED BY: Nick Johnson, City Planner
Jack Griffin, City Engineer
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
The Planning Commission is being asked to consider a Preliminary Plat request from Lennar
Corporation for a 46-unit single-family attached (townhouse) development to be located on slightly
over 15 acres of land immediately east of Lake Elmo Avenue and north of the Hunters Crossing
development. The site is located within the 1-94 Corridor Planning Area and is therefore on property
that has been guided for public sewer and water services. The application as originally submitted
included a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the use of a private street to serve the
individual townhouse units. The applicant has since updated the proposed site plan and plat to
incorporate a public street within the development, which will eliminate the need for a conditional
use permit. Staff is recommending, approval of the request with conditions as listed in the below
report.

REQUEST DETAILS
The City of Lake Elmo has received a request from Lennar Corporation for a preliminary plat for a
46 unit townhouse development tentatively called the Diedrich Property Preliminary Plat. Please
note that the original application and all of the construction plans as submitted were for a 48-unit
project utilizing a private street. Due to several issues concerning the original configuration of lots
and in order to address City, County, and watershed district comments and concerns, the applicant
has submitted a revised site plan that now includes a public street. and a reduced number of lots. The
applicant may still be seeking some variation from City standards in order to plat a public street, and
Staff is suggesting that any variations from the City's zoning and subdivision regulations be
addressed at the final plat stage.
The City previously reviewed a sketch plan for the property earlier in the spring of this year, and the
current application has been preceded by a Comprehensive Plan amendment that changed the future
land use designation of this parcel from HDR - High Density Residential to MDR - Mednun Density
Residential,
The site under consideration is situated between the Cimarron Golf Course and the Hunters Crossing
development north of the planned 5°' Street corridor and west of Lake Elmo Avenue. The property is
currently vacant, and there is no record of any buildings or structures being constructed on the site,
When the City was initially planning the trunk sewer line project to serve the Village Area, the
original alignment of the trunk sewer through this property followed the northern and eastern
property boundaries. After subsequent discussions with the property owners, this alignment was
changed to the southern boundary of the site, within what eventually become the planned right-of-
way for 511' Street. The City has acquired easements for both 5'1' Street and the sewer and water main
serving this area that cross the southern property boundary of the applicant's property. These
easements may eventually be vacated since the preliminary plat will formally dedicate the required
right-of-way for the road, sewer, water, and other utilities as 5'1' Street, A similar dedication of the
road and utility right-of-way was provided with Hunters Crossing to the South.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4a - ACTION ITEM
The proposed access into the development is now proposed to occur via a new public road
immediately across from the entrance to Hunters Crossing (Lavern Avenue North). The City has
previously approved the use of private roads to serve the townhouse units with Lennar's Savona
subdivision, and the plan as originally drawn out called for a private road to be used to access the
proposed townhouses. The road as originally planned would have been located within a 30-foot wide
Outlot, however, the City Engineer expressed concern that this outlot was not wide enough to
accommodate all necessary infrastructure (both private and public) to serve the development. In
order to address these (and other) concerns, the applicant has propose a modified plan that
accommodates a public street meeting all City standards. This updated plan has been submitted as a
supplement to the original application materials that still include a 30-foot outlot with a private street.
Any future plan submissions and reviews will need to address revised review comments from Staff,
and specifically, the City Engineer, prior to approval of a final plat.
The overall site plan is generally consistent with sketch plan submitted earlier this year. The two
notable exceptions are that the (now revised) preliminary plat reduced the overall number of units
from 50 to 46. The developer is proposing to construct a sidewalk along the main entrance into the
development in addition to a sidewalk connecting the western cul-de-sac with the planned 5'h Street
trail. There are no interior sidewalks depicted on the preliminary development plans, and the
applicant has stated that they believe that interior sidewalks will not be necessary given the low
traffic volumes expected on the interior streets. Staff is recommending that if the project does
includes a public street and nght-of-way meeting City standards that a sidewalk on one side of all
street be included in the final development plans.
One of the reasons that the applicant originally requested the use of a private street is that it would
allow them to slightly vary the setbacks of the townhouse units in order to help minimize the visual
impact of a row of townhouses all at the same setback. The developer is still looking for ways to add
sortie variation to the setbacks, and will be seeking some minor modifications as part of the final plat
submission in order to address this issue,
Consistent with the City's specifications for the 5th Street roadway segment, the applicant has
provided for a 100-foot wide right-of-way, which will provide sufficient room for the construction of
a parkway with turning lanes, 10-foot bituminous trail, sidewalk, trees, lighting, and other design
elements as planned by the City. In this case, the applicant is retaining the existing easement width
of 110 feet at the intersection of .5th Street and Lake Elmo Avenue and narrowing the right-of-way
down to tnatch the 100 foot right-of-way platting within Hunters Crossing. Both Ryland Homes and
Lennar are still working towards a joint project to build 5'1' Street at one time verses splitting the
construction up into northern and southern segments.
The preliminary plat has been developed in response to the City's recently adopted Comprehensive
Plan, which identifies all of the applicant's property for urban medium density residential
development. The plat incorporates 46 single family attached lots, most of which are designed with
widths around 40 feet each. Given the limited access to the site and relatively small nature of the
property, the applicant has worked to incorporate some variety into the arrangement of lots as is
possible given these restrictions.
Public sanitary sewer service is presently available on the site, which was constructed as part °rale
Village trunk line project completed late last year. Water was extended to the site as part of the 2014
Lake Elmo Avenue water main project. Like other developments along this line, the developer will
be expected to pay the full water availability charges for each planned lot (S3,000) at the time of the
final plat, even if the project is broken up into different stages.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4a — ACTION ITEM
4
PLANNING AND ZONING ISSUES
The Diedrich Townhouse site is guided for urban medium density development in the City's
Comprehensive Plan, and the appropriate zoning for the sitc will be MDR - Medium Density
Residential. The actual rezoning of the property is a necessary step prior to development of this site
that will need to be completed prior to approval of the final plat. The overall subdivision plan has
therefore been prepared in order to comply with the district standards for the MDR districts in terms
of lot size, lot widths, building setbacks, and other design criteria. Within the MDR district,
townhouses are allowed that do not meet minimum frontage requirements or that are located along a
private street as a conditional use permit.
The planned road serving the townhouse lots extends due north from 5'h Street and then splits east
and west through the middle of the property to provide access to the townhouses. There are no
planned connections to the cast, west, or north of the property because these sites have previously
been developed or will connect into 5th Street once on either side of the site under consideration.
Given the site characteristics and the immediately adjacent land uses (which are all different than
single family), the applicant has had to design the site as an isolated island that is impractical to
connect to adjacent properties. The streets as originally planned and later updated will meet the
City's minimum standards for construction.
The sidewalks within the subdivision are limited to those mentioned in the previous section of this
report, and there are no sidewalks planned along the east/west private road. Please note that the plat
as originally submitted did not dedicate the amount of right-of-way that has been requested by
Washington County. The County has previously requested that the developer dedicate an additional
42 feet of right-of-way along Lake Elmo Avenue, and that this right-of-way width be incorporated
into the final plat. The additional right-of-way does impact the location of the planned storm water
pond over Outlot A, and this pond and associated grading work will need to be adjusted in order to
account for the expanded right-of-way. Updated plans must be reviewed and approved by the City,
County, and Watershed District prior to the City's approval of a final plat for this subdivision.
As noted in the preceding section, the developer has submitted an updated site plan that retains the
same general layout, and configuration of lots, but changes the proposed private street outlot of 30
feet to a public right-of-way 60 feet in width, The additional right-of-way has been requested by the
City Engineer to help ensure that there is adequate room for future maintenance and upkeep of public
utilities (sewer, water, and other private utilities) within this subdivision. All final construction plans
will need to be updated to reflect the public right-of-way and reconfiguration of lots.
The preliminary site plan included as part of the application materials includes a description of thet lot
size, dimensions, and all required setbacks for the development. All of the lots meet the City's
minimum area requirement of 4,000 for single-family attached lots in a MDR district, with the
smallest lot proposed at 5,527 square feet. The site plans further illustrate that throughout the
subdivision the lots will average 8,782 square feet, which exceeds the minimum requirements by a
fairly wide margin.
The following is a general summary of the subdivision design elements that have proposed as part of

Varies — parkway design proposed
The standards listed above are all in compliance with the applicable requirements from the City's
zoning and subdivision regulations, including the revised public street and associated right-of-way.
Based on Staff s review of the preliminary plat, the applicant has demonstrated compliance with all
applicable code requirements at the level of detail that is required for a preliminary plat. The
applicant will need to address the review comments from the City and County, and the final plat and
final construction plans will specifically need to be updated to reflect the wider public street right-of-
way and expanded Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) right-of-way. Any variations from setbacks and
other standards because of the amended road section will need to be addressed with the final plat.
As with any new subdivision the City Code requires that a portion of the plat be set aside for public
park use. In this case, the applicant is not proposing to dedicate any land specifically for a public
park, and is instead asking to pay a fee in lieu of land dedication. This is not a site or general
location that would suitable for a public park or any specific trail connections; therefore, Staff is
supportive of the applicant's request to pay a fee instead of dedicating any public land with the
subdivision, The required dedication for the 15.11 acre site would he 1.51 acres, or a cash payment
of approximately $90,000 based on previous appraisals of land in this area.
REVLEW AND ANALYSIS
City Staff has reviewed the proposed prefuninary plat, and has forwarded the plans to appropriate
reviewing agencies in advance oldie Planning Commission meeting. In general, the proposed plat
will meet all applicable City requirements for approval, and any deficiencies or additional work that
is needed is noted as part of the review record and can be imported in the final plat and final
construction plans. The City has received a detailed list of comrnents from the City Engineer
concerning the proposed subdivision; these comments are attached to this report for consideration by
the Planning Commission,
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4a — ACTION ITEM
6
In addition to the general comments that have been provided in the preceding sections of this report,
Staff would like the Planning Commission to consider the issues and comments related to the
following discussion areas as well:
Comprehensive Plan, The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Lake Elmo
Comprehensive Plan for this area and with the densities that were approved as part of this
plan (as recently amended). The net. densities for the development fall within the low end of
the range allowed for the urban medium density, and depending on the specific amount of
land that will be dedicated for 5'1' Street and Lake Elmo Avenue, this density will be
somewhere in the 3.8 to 4,0 units per acre range. Given the site constraints and need to
accommodate additional right-of-way within the plat, Staff has found that the proposed
density is in keeping the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan for this area. Other
aspects of the Comprehensive Plan relate to the Hunter's Crossing subdivision as follows:
o Transportation, The City's transportation plan calls for the construction of a ininon
collector road that will connect the eastern and western portions of the 1-94 Corridor.
Staff views this road as a critical piece of the transportation infrastructure that is
needed to serve the densities that have been planned for this area. The City's
previous acquisition of easements through this area anticipated the future alignment
of 5'1' Street through the southern portion of the applicant's property and the proposed
subdivision will officially plat this right-of-way with the final plat. Both Lennar and
Ryland are still working towards a joint project to build all of 5'11 Street between their
properties later this summer, and regardless of whether or not a joint project occurs,
Lennar will need to build at least its half of 5th Street in order to provide access to the
proposed townhouses. Staff vvill continue to work with both parties to work towards
a joint project that addresses the needs of the private developers and the City for
access.
o Parks., The City's park plan identifies proposed locations for neighborhood parks
based on the anticipated population that should be served by each park. This
subdivision is located at the periphery of a park search area for the area east of Lake
Elmo Avenue. During its review of the sketch plan for this subdivision, the Park
Commission did not recommend the dedication of land within the subdivision for a
new park, and instead agreed with the developer's request to submit a cash payment
in lieu of land dedication. Staffanticipates that a larger park that could be designed
in conjunction with the School District near Oakland Junior High would better serve
existing and fitture residents in this portion of the City.
o Water, Public water service has been extended to this area via the public
improvement project that installed a new water main along Lake Elmo Avenue last
year. The final construction plans will need to abide by, any recommendations of the
City Engineer concerning the extension of water service through this site to service
other adjacent sites (which will likely not be required given the exiting development
on either side of the applicant's site).
o Sanitary Sewer, The developer will be required to connect to the gravity sewer main
that has been installed under the 5'1' Street right-of-way. The utility plans provided by
the applicant document this connection.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4a - ACTION ITEM
7
o Phasing. The Lennar townhouse subdivision is located within the Stage 2 phasing
area for the I-94 Corridor. The City's Comprehensive Plan allows the City to
consider accelerating development stages when adequate public services are
available. In this case, the sewer and water projects already completed help this
project meet this threshold. The developer will also be required to pay all water
availability charges for the project at the time of platting regardless of project staging.
• Zoning. The proposed zoning for the site is MDR -- Low Density Residential and the
subdivision has been designed to comply with all applicable requirements of this zoning
district.
• Subdivision Requirements. The City's Subdivision Ordinance includes a fairly lengthy list
of standards that must be met by all new subdivisions, and include requirements for blocks,
lots, easements, erosion and sediment control, drainage systems, monuments, sanitary sewer
and water facilities, streets, and other aspects of the plans. The majority of these
requirements have been addressed as part of the City Engineer's comments (which are
detailed in the Engineer's continent letter) or have been reviewed as part of Staffs ongoing
communications with, the applicant regarding the project. The elimination of the private
street will help the project comply with several of the concerns previously expressed by the
City Engineer and other Staff.
• Infrastructure. The developer will be required to construct all streets, sewer, water. storm
water ponds, and other infrastructure necessary to serve the development.
• Landscaping. The applicant has provided a landscape plan for the development that is
intended to comply with the City's requirements for number, size and spacing of trees along
the public streets. This plan should be reviewed by the City's consulting landscape architect
prior to the submission of a final plat. The applicant has also submitted a tree inventory that
documents the type and size of all trees on the property and all those that will be impacted by
construction to determine compliance with the City's tree preservation and protection plan as
described below.
• Tree Preservation and Protection. The City recently adopted a tree preservation and
protection ordinance, and the applicant has prepared a tree inventory and tree preservation
plan for the site. Overall, there are 1,387 caliper inches of trees on the subject property, and
all of these trees will be removed in order to build the subdivision as planned. This means
the developer will need to mitigate for 485 caliper inches (the amount that exceeds the
allowed 30% removal) in accordance with the ordinance replacement schedule. The species
and mix of replacement plantings should be also he reviewed by the City's consulting
landscape architect.
• Green Belt/Buffer/Screening. There are no planned green belts or buffers on or around the
site under consideration. The proposed landscape plan incorporates plantings along all edges
of the property and within the internal outlots.
• Streets and Transportation. The proposed street system, as revised, has been designed to
comply with all applicable subdivision requirements and City engineering standards. The
developer must also commit to the construction of at least the noitliem portion of 5th Street in
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4a - ACTION ITEM
order for the project to move forward as a final plat, The timing of this road will be
somewhat dependent on whether or not Ryland and Lennar arc able to come to an agreement
to build 5'1' Street as a joint project. The final constriction plans should reflect how 56 Street
will be built, and must include the northern portion if a join project does not move forward,
The City has received and reviewed a complete set of construction plans for .5'h Street as part
of the Hunters Crossing development.
o County Comments. Conunents received form Washington County during the
concept plan review, which focus on needed improvements to Lake Elmo Avenue
(CSA_H 17) to serve the development, are included in an attached letter from the
County's Senior Planner dated March 3, 201,5. Staff is recommending that
compliance with the County's comments be added as a condition of approval for the
plat.
Trails. The Planning C01111111SSi011 comments during the sketch plan review encouraged the
developer to incorporate a trail connection between 5'1' Street and the eastern cul-de-sac. The
developer has indicated that given the tight constraints on the site (even with the elimination
offour units) that there is not sufficient room to provide for this trail. connection. Staffwould
also like to note that the overall distance from the cul-de-sac to 511' Street is not a large
distance even without a direct trail connection.
* Street Names. Staff has forwarded its recommendation for street names to Lentiar, and these
names should be included on the final plat documents.
• Adjacent Parcels. The proposed landscape plan includes additional plantings between the
proposed townhouses and the industrial facility to the east. The landscape plan will need to
be updated to reflect the revised site plan, and in particular, the plan should continue to
provide for screening between the eastern -most townhouses and the adjacent industrial land.
• City Engineer Review, The City Engineer has provided the Planning Department with a
detailed comment letter as a summary of his preliminary plat review. Staff has incorporated
the more significant issues identified by the Engineer as part of the recommended conditions
of approval; and has also included a general condition that all issues identified by the City
Engineer must be addressed by the applicant prior to approval of a final plat for any portion
of the Diedrich townhouses. With the general site plan revisions that have been proposed by
the applicant, the construction plans will need to be updated to reflect this revisions. Any
additional comments or concerns from the City Engineer that arise from the plan updates will
need to be addressed as part of a final plat submission.
• I.Vatershed District. The project area lies within the Valley- Branch Watershed District and
the developer will need to secure permits from the watershed district in order to proceed with
the development as planned. One of the recommended conditions of approval is that the
applicant receive plan approval from the watershed district prior to submission of a final plat
for the subdivision.
• Storm Water Management, In order to accommodate the County's requirement for
additional right-of-way along Lake Elmo Avenue, the developer has had to readjust the size
and configuration of the planned storm water basin over Outlot A. The County will not allow
any portion of the storm water facility to be located within its right-of-way; therefore, the
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4a — ACTION ITEM
9
plans will need to be updated to reconfigure and adjust the location and size of this pond.
These updated plans will be subject to review by the City Engineer and Valley Branch
Watershed District. The developer is also requesting to use the proposed pond as part of a
water re -use system through lawn irrigation. The City Engineer is seeking additional details
concerning this system prior to making any recommendations concerning the viability of the
system as proposed.
Washington County Review. County Staff has previously provided review comments to the
City concerning the sketch plan for the Diedrich townhouses subdivision to the City in a
letter dated March 5, 2015. The most significant of the County's concerns is that the
applicant will need to make improvements to the County road system in order to provide the
necessary access to the subdivision. As a condition of approval, Staff has noted that the
applicant will be responsible for including all improvements to TH17 as required by the
County as part of the construction plans for the development. In addition, the County has
noted that the required right-of-way dedication for Lake Elmo Avenue should be 92 feet as
opposed to the 90 feet shown, This request does impact the proposed storm water plan as
noted above.
Based on the above Staff report and analysis, Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary plat
with several conditions intended to address the outstanding issues noted above and to further clarify
the City's expectations in order for the developer to move forward with a final plat. The
recommended conditions are as follows:

the construction of a northbound right turn lane and southbound center turn lane.
4) The developer shall follow all of the rules and regulations spelled out in the Wetland
Conservation Act, and shall acquire the needed permits from the Valley Branch Watershed
District prior to the commencement of any grading or development activity on the site.
5) The applicant shall enter into a maintenance agreement with the City that clarifies the

Mr. Kyle Klatt
Community Development Director
City of Lake Elmo, MN
Dear Kyle:
Lennar Corporation is pleased to submit the preliminary plat application for a twin home community
located on the Diedrich property (PIN 36.029.21.32.0002) along Lake Elmo Avenue. The proposed
preliminary plat is in substantial conformance with the sketch plat for the property that was reviewed by
the City during February. There are some modifications we wish to acknowledge with this submittaL
In finalizing the design and layout, it was determined that homes were too close when private walks were
added; private sidewalks were overlapping each other, especially when homes were located around the
curves of both cul-de-sacs that were shown in the sketch plat. The wider public rights of way were
overdesigned, and also resulted in tight spacing around each cul-de-sac. Additionally, units 38-23 all had
fronts located along the same setback line, resulting in a stretch of homes that had no variation in
placement. To remedy these issues and open up the design a bit more, 2 units were eliminated to allow
more space between the twin homes, resulting in a total of 48 units. The easterly cul-de-sac has also been
modified into a loop road with an outlot in a center island. This allowed us to space out the layout of the
homes while providing an open space area for residents. Side setbacks have also been modified to a
minimum of 7.5 feet.
Because the entire interior street system is now set up as a private street, and side setbacks have been
slightly modified to achieve a better fit between units, we are requesting that a CUP be processed as a
master plan of development for this site primarily for the private roads, as was done in the townhome area
for Savona. It should be noted that the width of the paved area is still 28' back to back; only the right of
way has been reduced. The remainder of the site meets the minimum design requirements for the MDR
District, with the exception of the modified setback, which can be governed by a CUP. The transition of
the interior streets from public to private roads results in the opportunity for aHOA to maintain the streets,
and the MDR DistrictDensity of 4 to 7 dwelling units per acre can still be achieved when right of way and
pond areas are excluded.

Jack Griffin, r.c.
Ryan stempskiP.c
Date: June l7'IO15
To: Kyle K]att,Planning Director Re: Diedrich Property —Preliminary Plan Review
From: lack Griffin, P.[^City Engineer
An engineering review has been completed for the Preliminary Plat submittal for the Diedrich Property. The
submittal consisted of the following documentation prepared by Pioneer Engineering:
° Diedrich Property Preliminary Plan Set, Sheetsl-14 L1and T1,dated June l7'ZOl5.
° StmnnwmterManagement Plan dated June ]'I0I5.
STATUS/FINDINGS-, Engineering has prepared the following review comments:
PRELIMINARY PLAT
• OvdotA is proposed as City owned to accommodate the storm water pond with an HO4 owned and
operated water re -use irrigation system. See comments below under Stormwater Management.
~ Oudot B is proposed as MOAowned to accommodate a "Private Street", See comments below under
residential streets.
• The applicant must submit to the City written correspondence from the County indicating that adequate
CSAH 17 n/vV is being dedicated as part ofthis Plat If additional R/VV is required by the County the Plat
must berevised and resubmitted.
~ The plat must be revised to include the Xcel Energy Transmission Easement along the north property line.
° Permanent grading and drainage easements are required to implement the improvements as proposed.
These easements must be obtained prior to grading activities and priorto the City accepting an application
for final plat.
All public improvements constructed to support the development must be designed and constructed in accordance
with the Citv Engineering Design Standards Manual available on the Citv website and dated February 2015.
GRADING PLAN, STORMvVATEKMANAGEMENT AND STORM SEWER SYSTEM
The site plan is subject to a storm water management plan nnccMng State' V8VvD and City rules and
regulations. 5tunn water facilities proposed as part of the site plan to meet State and VBVVD permitting
requirements most be constructed in accordance with the City Engineering Design Standards Manual
available on the City webske.Afinalized storm water management plan must he approved by the City and
the VBvVDpermit must beobtained prior tograding activities.
* The Stormwater Management Plan incorporates storm water re'usethnnugh lawn irrigation. The re -use
system is necessary for the applicant's plan to meet State and Watershed permit requirements for water
quality treatment (volume control), Out(nt A is proposed as City owned to accommodate the storm water
PAGE 1 of 4
pond. The water n-uoeirrigation system isproposed oubeM0AoperatedandmaintaincdonCitypmperty,
Details of this plan are limited in the application. The following considerations should be noted.
� Storm"vaterre~u5r' when implemented correctly can be an effective method to reduce reliance of
potable water use while reducing storm water discharges, it would help to reduce peak demands on
the potable water system that typically occurs during the summer irrigation and landscape watering
season, These benefits make storm water re -use worth consideration.
� However, the City has no design standards or guidelines for implementation and currently has no
experience with storm water reuse operations.
� The two most notable concerns for storm water reuse includes the puUutams in the storm water
(addressing treatment needs) and designing a system that provides a properly balanced hydraulic
system (sizing the storage, and balancing the drawdowntothe projected use inavariable dimate).
� Pollutants in the storm water reuse system may be a concern forthree basic reasons: 1) the health risks
associated with human contact; 2) the impact on the environment given the various uses (ie.bacteria
nrchlorides from sahs); 3)issues for the system equipment and operational impacts,
� PoUminamPlat should beconditioned vponthe foUmwiniz:
" The developer must sign an operation and maintenance agreement for the storm water reuse
system in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. The agreement must indemnify and hold harmless
the City from any and all activities related to the developer and HOA's operation of this system.
" The storm water pond must be designed with a hydraulic capacity acceptable to the City Engineer
that ensures adequate flood protection without accounting for any water reuse from the system.
° The storm water pond must be designed and constructed in accordance with the City Engineering
Design Standards.
" A detailed design of the irrigation system together with a detailed operations and maintenance plan
must besubmitted prior Loany grading orconstruction activity nnthe site.
~ Per City requi,emeotx, all storm water facilities, including infiltration basins' must he placed in 0ut|ots
deeded tothe City for maintenance purposes. The 5mrmwaterFacility Oudmm must fully incorporate the
1U0~yearMVVL1Ofoot maintenance bench and all maintenance access roads.
� The pond grading must be revised to add a 10-foot maintenance bench around the entire pond, per the
standard pond detail.
� The maintenance access mad must be revised toaccess the pond from S*Street North, nut[54H 17.
= Overland emergency overflows or outlets will be required as part of the site plan and must be located within
drainage easements, must be in Bold Type on the plans, and must provide 1 foot of vertical separation to
the low opening of any building structure. Lot information details must include ,he lowest opening in
addition tothe lowest floor elevation.
~ The ultimate discharge rate and location is an important consideration to avoid negative impacts to
downstream properties, The storm water management plan indicates the pond outfall pipe to discharge to
the northerly property. The plan as proposed cannot be implemented without permanent drainage and
utility easements from the adjacent property. Permission should be provided to the City prior to accepting
afinal plat application orallowing grading activities.
" Significant grading is proposed along the northerly property to accommodate many of the proposed
building pads. Without written permission to permanently alter grades on the adjacent property, the she
would require aredesign, Property owner permission o,easements should bcprovided tothe City prior \o
accepting afinal plat application nrallowing grading activities.
w The storm sewer system shall be designed to maintain the City standard minimum pipe cover of 3,0 feet.
° Per City requirements all storm sewer pipe easements must be a minimum 30-feet in width,
= The maximum allowable curb run along streets without catch basins b350feet. Catch basins should be
added along Street B, easterly cul-de-sac to maintain maximum curb run of 350 ft,
° Sump manholes are required prior to all discharge points, located at the last manhole or catch basin prior
tnleaving apaved area. All mmpmanholes must be4-fbotdeep,
rNUN|[]PAL SANITARY SEWER
� Municipal sanitary sewer service is readily available within the 51h Street R1W located adjacent to the plat,
~ The applicant is responsible to emend the municipal sanitary sewer to the development to serve the
proposed properties.
� No trunk sewer oversizing is anticipated. The area can be served without a lift station.
� Sanitary sewer must be realigned to better maintain street centerline alignment.
~ The sanitary sewer is proposed to be placed within 0u|ot 8 to be HOAowned and maintained as a private
street. The Oudotwidth must bcaminimum n(4Ufeet with a5foot drainage and utility easement along
each side of the street for the corridorto be acceptable for the placement of publicly owned and maintained
MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY
° Municipal water service is readily available within the 3mStreet K/VVlocated adjaoent*nthepbt
° The applicant is responsible to extend municipal water into the development to serve the proposed
properties,
* Two connection points tothe existing City system should berequired,
~ Notrunk watermainovenidng\santicipated for this development.
• Additional hydrants and system valves will be required as part of the final design,
° VVotcnnain must be realigned to maintain 10-foot separation from the sanitary sewer once the sanitary
sewer isrealigned aspreviously noted.
* Thewatcrnnain is proposed to be placed within Ou|ot 8to be HOAowned and maintained as a private
street. The Outlot width must be a minimum of 40 feet with a 5 foot drainage and utility easement along
each side of the streetforthe corridor to be acceptable forthe placement of publicly owned and maintained
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
� Access ,o the development must be from 5wStreet asshown, directly across from the Hunters Crossing
access roadway.
° The applicant will be responsible to construct the north half of 5"' Street from C5AH 17 to the east plat edge
of the Hunters Crossing development. This improvement must be completed at the developer's cost.
° The plat must dedicate the existing 511 5cneot roadway easement as City R/W. The plan indicates the
minimum 100 foot R/W as required. A ten (10) foot utility easement must be provided along the north side
of the 5mStreet R/W.
� The proposed Qanecollector parkway street (5thStreet) design andMeomethcs must meet all Municipal
State Aid design standards for urban streets (8820.9936) for ADT > io,aOO; 40 mph design speed; and must
be consistent with the detailed parkway cross section installed throughout the remaining corridor segments
and asoutlined inthe SthStreet Collector Design Guidelines osprepared byCity staff,
° Right and left turn lanes must be incorporated along 5th Street North per the City design standards to
maintain mobility along the Parkway since there isonly one travel lane ineach direction.
° Additional stneeocape amenities as required along 5th Street consistent with the remaining corridor
segments. 5th Street Amenities include a north side off -road bituminous trail, minimum 10 foot width with
S foot clear zone; a south side concrete sidewalk, minimum 6 foot width with 2 foot clear zone; landscaping
elements including acenter landscape median; and street lighting.
� The applicant will also be partially responsible for the improvements required by Washington County at the
intersection nf5'^Street and [SAUl7.
RESIDENTIAL STREETS
• Street A must include a 50 foot tangent per City standards at the intersection with 5th Street before
initiating the proposed horizontal curve.
~ Street Bieast ml-de-sacgeome{homust berevised toeliminate turns greater than Bo'degees.
� It is preferable that Public Streets be constructed to serve this development and designed to meet (heG|y's
Engineering Design Standards including R/W width, street width and cul-de-sac radii.
= If the streets remain HOA Privately owned, the following recommendations apply:
� Thc,treet/hov|cvard section must be widened to allow for adequate ownership and maintenance by
the City for the public utilities (watermain, sanitary sewer and storm sewer).
� The street Outlat should be a minimum width of 40 feet (14 feet pavement + 6 foot boulevard) with 5-
footminimomutiUtyeascmantoneachsNe. This will enable any future construction activity toremain
100% within the Street Outlet plus the utility easement. No additional encroachment on the
properties/sidewalks should benecessary during future construction.
� The typical section should be updated to include storm sewer and should show the small utilities,
demonstrating the 3-footseparation between gas and joint trench.
° Street A vertical alignment should be revised to provide a K = 37 minimurn at STA 0+71.00,

RE: Washington County comments on the concept plan for the Diedrich property by
LwnnarHomes, City ofLake Elmo
Dear Mr. Klatt�
Thank you for providing the county with the concept plan for the Lennarsubdivision nnthe
Diedrich property, in Section 36,Township 29N , Range 21W along County Road (CR) 17B/Lake
Elmo Avenue in the City of Lake Elmo, The project consists of 50 attached single family
residential dwelling units on 12 acres of land. Based on the plan provided, we have the following
• There is currently 50 feet of right-of-way from the center line of County Road (CR)
178 therefore, an additional 42 feet should be dedicated on the plat which should
include the existing home site south ufS~Street.
° According to the Trip Generation Manual, 7mAddition /TE 2003, this development
will generate 478Average Vehicle Trips (A&'[)per day.
w |nthe future, there will beatraffic signal atthe intersection of CR178and 5*
GtnaeLondsinue5m8treetwiUbeunnUechorpoadway.ocenbar|e8tunn|aneshou|d
beprovided on5~Street for access tothe development.
° Access control must bededicated hnWashington County along the CGAH178-eko
Elmo Avenue frontage, This should bedenoted onthe final plat.
° Improvements \oCounty Road (CR)178will becompleted ot the new 51"Street
section, Washington County is working with the City of Lake Elmo on the planned
improvements. The cost of these improvements will be the responsibility of the city.
� The developer or the city must submit the drainage report and calculations to our
office for review of any downstream impacts to the county drainage system. Along
with the drainage calculations, we will request written conclusions that the volume
and rate of stormwater run-off into the county right -of way will not increase as part of
the project,

Diedrich Property
Concept Plan
* All stormwaterponds should be located outside the county
� Washington County'upolicy iuhoassist local governments inpromoting
compatibility between land use and highways. Residential uses located ecUauont
to highways often result in complaints about traffic noise. Traffic noise from this
highway could exceed noise standards established by the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (K4PCA). the U.S, Deportment of Housing and Urban Dove|opmont,
and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states that
municipalities are responsible for taking all reasonable measures to prevent land
use activities listed in the IVIPCA's Noise Area Classification (NAC) where the
establishment of the land use would result in violations of established noise
standards, Minnesota Statute 11G.07.Subpart %aexempts County Roads and
County State Aid Highways from noise threoho|dw. County policy regarding
development adjacent to existing highways prohibits the expenditure of highway
funds for noise mitigation measures )nsuch areas. The developer should assess
the noise situation and take any action outside ofCounty right ofway deemed
necessary bzminimize the impact ofany highway noise.
* Any grading within County right of way will require a Washington County Right of
Way Permit,
° All utility connections for the development require VVashington County Right of Way
permits- Typically, these are the responsibility ofthe utility companies.
Thank you for the opportunity tocomment onthis concept plan. Ifyou have any questions,
please contact me at 651-430-4362 or ann.ouna-terwedo(a)co.washinciton,mn.us

City Council Meeting [Consent Agenda Item]
December 1, 2015
"iViove to approve the driveway encroachment and maintenance agreement for Jeerasak
Poophakumpanart to install a driveway within an unimproved portion of the public right-of-
way owned by the City."
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: The Driveway Encroachment and Maintenance Agreement that
has been submitted for Council consideration is for a driveway and has been reviewed by
planning and engineering staff. The proposed driveway meets all city code requirements and
Staff would have otherwise authorized construction of the driveway if it did not encroach into
the unimproved portion of the public right-of-way owned by the City.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION (SWOT):
Strengths: The Driveway encroachment and maintenance agreement is a legal document
that all property owners seeking to install driveways within unimproved portions of
public right-of-way owned by the City are required to sign. The document, among other
things, indemnities the city from responsibility if damage occurs to the improvement or if
it needs to be removed at some point in the future.
Weaknesses: None
Opportunities: None
Threats: None
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the afbrementioned, Staff is recommending _la the City Council approve the driveway
encroachment and maintenance agreement as part of the Consent Agenda. If the Cily Council
removes the item from the Consent Agenda, the recommended action can be completed through
the following motion:
"Move to approve the driveway encroachment and maintenance agreement for Jeerasak
Poophakumpanart to install a driveway within an unimproved portion of the public right-of-
way owned by the City."

SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED,: Pursuant to State law, the City is required to hold
a Truth in Taxation hearing regarding the adoption of the 2016 General Fund, Debt Service Fund
and Library Fund Budgets. The City Council is being asked to approve the Final 2016 Annual
Budget and Levy for these funds and hold a public hearing.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lake Elmo has both the legal and fiduciary
authority and responsibility under Minnesota State Statute to adopt a 2016 General Fund, Debt
Service Fund and Library Fund annual budgets; all of which impact the annual Property Tax
Levy. On September 1, 2015, the Preliminary Annual Budgets for these funds were approved
and subsequently certified to Washington County. The final levy and budgets for these funds
must be adopted and certified to Washington County by December 28th, 2015, after holding a
Truth in Taxation hearing.
City Council Meeting [Regular Agenda Item #9J
December 1, 2015
STAFF REPORT: At budget review meetings, the Finance Committee reviewed an in-depth
budget and levy presentation for 2016 related to the General Fund. The City Council was invited
to those meetings and provided their input as well. As a result of those meetings, the preliminary
budget was finalized and presented to the City Council on September 15, 2015 for approval and
preliminary certification to the County. Due to uncertainty surrounding the developer build out
activity, conservative revenue numbers were used for the preliminary 2016 budget resulting in
the certification to the County representing the maximum Levy possible.
On October 14, 2015 the Finance Committee had a follow up 2016 budget meeting to review
updated actual results to date. The City Council was again invited to those meetings to provide
their input. As a result of those meetings, final revisions were made resulting in a reduction to
the preliminary levy certification of $521,694. It was recommended that any and all excess
funds available in the general fund budget be used to reduce the 2016 General Fund Levy. As a
result, the final 2016 levy certification is being proposed at $3,112,204.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council hold a public hearing related
to these budgets and if no issues arise as a result, pass Resolution 2015-84, thereby approving the
final 2016 General Fund, Debt Service Fund and Library Fund Annual Budget's and Levies by
undertaking the following motion:
"Move to approve Resolution No. 2015-84 adopting the final 2016 General Fund, Debt Service
Fund and Library Fund Annual Budget's and Levies"

PUBLIC POLICY STATEMENT POSSIBLE CHANGE IN DEVELOPER LETTER OF CREDIT
POLICY
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED:
Staff has been approached by Robert Engstrom to allow a decrease in letter of credit for the Wildflower
development in advance of any reduction that would otherwise be allowed through the current development
agreement. This is not an atypical request by developers and is something which council could consider
changing the policy. Instead of just addressing Mr. Engstrom's request it is appropriate for council to
consider the overall policy and if any changes should be addressed.
BACKGROUND AND STAFF REPORT: This is a summary of Mr. Engstroms's request, which could
apply to a number of different developers.
A letter of credit was given to the City of Lake Elmo in the amount of $3,440,831 by the Robert Engstrom
Companies for the Wildflower development to protect the city's interest in case the company faltered or
failed to complete the infrastructure required to support the development. Of this amount $1,71 1,I 04 was
required to secure the watermain, sanitary sewer and storm sewer, and storm water pond structure
installation.
Mr. Engstrom is requesting a reduction in the letter of credit in the amount of $.1,236,826.96; an amount
Mr. Engstrom has determined to represent 100% of the sanitary sewer, watermain, and storm sewer for
the phase I development. Based upon an initial security in the amount of 125% of the estimated costs,
this reduction in letter of credit would leave $309,206.72 related to the utilities for any warranty
corrections. The difference in the amount of letter of credit addition relates to different estimates of the
cost of utility installation and different engineers. The current policy requires 25% of the initial security to
be held through the warranty period.
Mr. Engstrom is requesting a reduction in the letter of credit in advance of any reduction that would
otherwise be allowed through the current development agreement. The current development ag-reement
requires not only the full installation of each infrastructure component, but also all testing and verification
procedures to ensure the installation is constructed as planned (the quality control processes). The current
developinent agreement therefore identifies various letter of credit reduction milestones that align with the
completion of the quality control review processes for each infrastructure component. Mr. Engstrom, along
with other developers, continue to request letter of credit reductions once the infrastructure component is
installed in the field, but before the quality control review processes have been completed. They cite
difficulties with the additional waiting time since they need to make payments to the contractors for the
work installed.
Mr. Engstrom has not yet provided a record plan or an as built record for the city to verify the proper
installation of the utilities, including the correct depth, correct grade, and at the correct location. It is not
uncommon after a record plan is submitted for engineering to identify some corrections to he made. This
would be the responsibility of the developer to correct, The only case in which a letter of credit would be
utilized to correct errors would be if the developer failed to make them and the city was left completing the
project on its own.
Given the frequency of the request, staff is looking for council direction as it relates to the processing of
letter of credit reduction requests. If so directed by council, policy changes could be implemented to reduce
the letters of credit upon the installation of the infrastructure component at 100% installed, but not verified.
Since the city has not yet received a record plan or in some cases completed testing, it is hard for staff to
give a recommended exact dollar amount to decrease the security. Staff is unable at this point to certify to
the city the acceptance of the improvement.
However, the developers are asking, does the city need to retain 100% of the letter of credit until the
completion of the verification processes? They believe the city has adequate security to address issues that
may arise.
City staff, if so directed by council could, suggest policy changes which would allow partial decreases in
letters of credit.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the.following action / with the.following motion;
Move to direct staff to propose changes to development agreements that would allow decreases in
letters of credit.

Wildflower at Lake Ehno reduction request & Wildflower LOC utilities.

Clark Schroeder
City Administrator
Lake Elmo
Re: Wildflower at Lake Elmo LOC
Clark:
As a follow up of my previous letter and conversation, we are requesting
the amount of $1,236,826.96 for a letter of credit reduction for our
Wildflower at Lake Elmo Development.
The engineers estimate for this amount is attached. This represents the
100% completion of the installation of the sanitary sewer, water and storm
sewer. 25% of the Letter of Credit or $309,206.72 is still remaining on the
LOC which certainly is enough for any issues on a project where there are
two city inspectors.
As! mentioned before, because of the FDIC stringent requirements for bank
balancing, the lender is unable to release any funds to pay the contractor
until the LOC is reduced.
Please call if you need any further information.
Thank you.

SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: A few citizens offered opinions as to the placement and
size of a new sign that was put up in a small park on the north end of The Fields of Lake Elmo directing
fellow citizens to a connected park which is Tana Ridge Park. Council member Fliflet requested that this
be brought before the council for discussion.
BACKGROUND AND STAFF REPORT:
This sign was part of a large resigning of all the city parks signs. These signs were approved by
parks commission in April of 2014, and approved by City council on 4/23/14
hitry.1.-Www.lakeelmo.or2..'wo-content/uploals;20 I 40 I 'Citv-Council-N1 inutes-0-1-23- 1 4-
Aporo ved. pd
Total cost ended up being around $34,000 for the works with Parks staff installing them in all the
parks. One sign costs around $2150, plus staff time to assemble and install. These signs where
requested by the Parks Commission, who approved the size and design.
This sign as with all park signs, are on city owned property and I do not believe the HOA was
consulted as to the placement of the sign in the city park.
It is not in concrete, and could be moved if that would help with the visibility issue.
The attached gives current dimensions and two proposed sizes for consideration. One is to just
take the current sign, and cut the bottom off and bring the "Hours' and "Ballfield, Playset,
Soccer" subsigns up to minimize the overall perception for the sign. Another option is to pay for
a new sign around the same price with smaller dimensions both in height and width. Another
option is to move the sign to another location.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the city council direct the Parks Commission to review the
placement and size of this sign titled "Tana Ridge Park".

Council directed the City Clerk to post the position opening for City Administrator on the LMC
and ICMA websites. Additionally, the City Council directed staff to use a professional firm for
conducting background checks on the candidates.

SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED:
The building was inspected by our Building Official, Fire Chief, Parks Chairperson, and
Electrical inspector. Their report is attached to this packet. I will highlight that if this building is
going to be used as a public facility we should develop a budget to fix it up and bring it into
compliance. In talking to Rick Chase Building Official, he said there are a number of different
considerations to consider when considering uses for this building. According to the City
Engineer, the building is not planned for a service stub for sewer connection. A visual inspection
of the electrical system highlights repairs would be necessary to bring up to current code.
Furnace should be inspected/maintained before winter. Structural supports and repairs to the
foundation should be done. The attachment lists a number of different areas which need to be
addressed if the public is going to utilize this building. His guess without looking into it is that it
would take S25k to $35k to bring the building into compliance. The city could direct staff to
obtain firmer estimates on repairs in order to help guide their decision. If the city council wishes

-- page
City Council Meeting [Regular Agenda Item 17]
December 1, 2015
and Connection Charges to ensure an adequate user charge system is in place to fund the utility operations
and capital projects.
Staff intends to approach this review by retaining the assistance of an experienced utility manager to
prepare a Cost of Service Study for water and sanitary sewer utilities. In particular, the goal of the study
will be to better understand the cost of service for each utility so that rates and charges can be confidently
developed to best meet the Utility's funding requirements, addressing conservation, and that are fair and
equitable. The work includes a review of the City's water and sanitary sewer operational costs, capital
costs, and depreciation costs projected for 2016-2025. The report findings may then be used for the
purpose of evaluating alternative rates and charges.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the Cost of Service Study for the Water and
Sanitary Sewer Utilities Task Order with TDKA. The recommended motion for the action is as follows:
"Move to approve the Cost of Set -vice Study Pr the Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities Tusk Order with
TDKA in an amount not to exceed $13,900."

POLICY RECCOMENDER: Fire Department/Public Safety Committee
FISCAL IMPACT: The purchase of land for either one or two future fire station locations.
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: Review additional information requested at
workshop to determine future staffing/fleet/facilities direction for the fire department, identify
and secure land while available.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: At the October 13, 2015 Council Workshop, a presentation on
"Public Safety, Staffing and Facilities" was given. The infoimation presented was the result of
extensive research and discussion conducted by the Public Safety Committee and the officers of
the fire department. The information focused on identifying future staffing, equipment and
facility needs for the fire department, (see attachment). The 'Public Safety Committee was
looking for direction from Council for future planning, with the question of following the current
Paid on Call (POC), multiple stations model or moving toward a one station with 24/7 staffing
needing additional clarification.
-- page
City Council Meeting [Consent Agenda Item #I8)
December 1, 2015
Information presented addressed the results of the 2004 and 2011 fire studies which were both
based on POC staffing. Studies concluded current stations should be relocated and "Are not
adaptable to future expansion". Analysis of various options and how other communities have
addressed this issue.
I would also like to highlight the recruitment efforts pursued over the years to deal with our
inability to fully staff The Public Safety Committee spent considerable time brainstorming and
addressing this national/regional/local issue and came up with a pretty thorough list, (see
attached). In addition to following up on these recommendations, FD staff went even further by
attending training at regional and national levels and networking with local FD's, yet we
continue to have a very low success rate.
At the conclusion of the presentation, Council requested additional information/numbers related
to the comparison of 1 vs 2 stations. Chief Malinquist conducted additional research, met with
Eagan Fire Chief Mike Scott and had follow up conversation with Chief Officers of Maplewood
FD regarding closing of fire stations and operating costs. See attached spreadsheet. Finance
Director Cathy Bendel provided the operating cost information on the comparison spreadsheet.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION (SWOT):
Strengths Ensure adequate staffing, long range cost savings (potentially over
$3mil.), meet future response needs of community.
Weaknesses
Increasing land costs. Initial investment in facility. Delaying
decision until FD reaches critical stalling point and delivery of
service is impacted.
Opportunities Identify and secure site while still available. Learn from other
communities. Possibly partner with Washington County Sheriff's
Department and Lakeview EMS in combined Public Safety
Facility.
Threats Inability to staff by committing to failing Paid on Call system.
RECOMMENDATION: The Public Safety Committee and the Officers of the Lake Elmo Fire
Department recommend moving to the one centralized fire station model, identify and secure an
appropriate site for a future fire station/public safety facility.
