§ 153.14 ENGINEERING DESIGN STANDARDS; REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS.
Submittals must meet plan sheet format requirements set forth by the City of Lake Elmo
Engineering Design Standards.
(A) Blocks.
(1) In general, intersecting streets, determining block lengths, shall be provided at the
intervals as to serve cross traffic adequately and to meet existing streets. Where no existing plats
2
control the blocks in residential subdivisions, blocks shall not be less than 600 feet nor more than
1,800 feet in length, except where topography or other conditions justify a departure from this
maximum. In blocks longer than 900 feet, pedestrian ways and/or easements through the block
may be required near the center of the block. Blocks for business or industrial use may vary
from the elements of design contained in this section if the nature of the use requires other
treatment.
(2) The width of the block shall normally be sufficient to allow 2 tiers of lots of appropriate
depth. Blocks intended for business or industrial use shall be of the width as to be considered
most suitable for their respective use, including adequate space for off-street parking and
deliveries.
(3) Blocks for commercial and industrial areas may vary from the elements of design
contained in this section if the nature of the use requires other treatment. In those cases, off-
street parking for employees and customers shall be provided along with safe and convenient
limited access to the street system. Space for off-street loading shall also be provided with
similar access. Extension of roads, railroad access right-of-way, and utilities shall be provided as
necessary.
(B) Lots.
(1) Area. The minimum lot area, width, and depth shall not be less than that established by
the zoning code in effect at the time of adoption of the final plat.
(2) Corner lots. Corner lots for residential use shall have additional width to permit
appropriate building setback from both streets as required in the zoning code.
(3) Side lot lines. Side lines of lots shall be approximately at right angles to street lines or
radial to curved street lines.
(4) Frontage. Every lot must have a minimum frontage on a public street accepted for
maintenance purposes by the City (or to be accepted upon completion of construction by the
applicant), other than an alley, as required in the zoning code. No subdivision shall be permitted
which will result in a lot with less than the minimum frontage on a public street as required by
the zoning code except where a variance is granted as provided by this chapter. In no case shall
a variance to this frontage requirement be granted which would permit access to a lot by means
of an easement or private road except as provided in § 153.11.
(5) Setback lines. Setback or building lines shall be shown on all lots intended for
residential use and shall not be less than the setback required by the zoning code.
(6) Water courses. Lots abutting a water course, drainage way, channel, or stream shall
have additional depth and width, as required under the provisions of the zoning code for the
shoreland and wetland system districts.
(7) Features. In the subdividing of any land, due regard shall be shown for all natural
features, such as tree growth, water courses, historic spots, or similar conditions which, if
preserved, will add attractiveness and stability to the proposed development.
3
(8) Lot remnants. All remnants of lots below minimum size left over after subdividing of a
larger tract must be added to adjacent lots or planned as outlots, rather than allowed to remain as
unusable parcels.
(9) Frontage on 2 streets. Double frontage, or lots with frontage on 2 parallel streets, shall
not be permitted except where lots back on arterial streets or highways, or where topographic or
other conditions render subdividing otherwise unreasonable. Double frontage lots shall have an
additional depth of at least 20 feet in order to allow space for screen planting along the back lot
line.
(10) Turn-around access. Where proposed residential lots abut a collector or arterial street,
they should be platted in a manner as to encourage turn-around access and egress on each lot.
(11) Minimum lot line. No lot shall have a total width at the front or rear lot line of less than
30 feet.
(12) Large lot planning. In any area where lots are platted in excess of 24,000 square feet
or 160 feet in width at the minimum building setback line, a preliminary resubdivision plan may
be required showing a potential and feasible way in which the lot or lots may be resubdivided in
future years for more intensive use of the land, the placement of buildings or structures upon the
lots shall allow for potential resubdivision.
(13) Shoreland.
(a) Land suitability. No land shall be subdivided which is held unsuitable by the City for
the purposed use because of flooding, inadequate drainage, soil and rock formations with severe
limitation for development, severe erosion potential, inadequate water supply or sewage disposal
capabilities.
(b) Review by Commissioner of Natural Resources. All plats within a shoreland district
shall be reviewed by the Commissioner before approval by the City may be granted. Review
shall require that the proposed plats be received by the Commissioner at least 10 days before a
hearing is called by the City for consideration of approval of a preliminary plat.
(c) Copies of plats supplied to Commissioner. Copies of all plats within shoreland areas
shall be submitted to the Commissioner within 10 days of final approval by the City.
(C) Easements.
(1) Width and location. An easement for utilities at least 10 feet wide, shall be provided
along all lot lines. If necessary for the extension of main water or sewer lines or similar utilities,
easements of greater width may will be required along lot lines or across lots. See §
150.277(A)(2)(e) of this code for other applicable easement regulations.
(2) Continuous utility easement locations. Utility easements shall connect with easements
established in adjoining properties. These easements, when approved, shall not subsequently be
changed without the approval of the Council after a public hearing.
(3) Provisions for drainage. Easements shall be provided along each side of the center line
of any water course or drainage channel whether or not shown in the Comprehensive Plan, to a
width sufficient in the judgment of the Council to provide proper maintenance and protection and
to provide for storm water runoff and installation and maintenance of storm sewers. They shall

dedicated in adjoining or adjacent subdivisions, or provide for future connections to adjoining
unsubdivided tracts, or shall be a reasonable projection of streets in the nearest subdivided
tracts. The arrangement of thoroughfares and collector streets shall be considered in their
relation to the reasonable circulation of traffic, to topographic conditions, to runoff of storm
water, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of
the area to be served.
(2) Local streets and dead-end streets. Local streets should be so planned as to discourage
their use by non-local traffic. Dead-end streets are prohibited, but cul-de-sacs shall be permitted
where topography or other physical conditions justify their use. Temporary and permanent cul-
de-sacs shall be designed in conformance with the City of Lake Elmo Engineering Design
Standards.

§ 153.15 PARK LAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS.
(A) Dedication of land for park and open space use. In all new residential subdivisions, a
percentage of the gross area of all property subdivided shall be dedicated for parks, playgrounds,
trails, public open space, or other public recreational use. For non-residential developments, the
City requires a payment in lieu of land dedication as established by resolution of the City
Council. Such percentage or fee shall be in addition to the property dedicated for streets, alleys,
waterways, pedestrian ways or other public use pursuant to this chapter. The following schedule
describes the required dedication by zoning district. This schedule is based upon density of the
7
development allowed in each district and is intended to equalize the amount and value of land
dedicated for parks per dwelling unit in the various districts.
Zoning Districts Minimum Required Land Dedication
RS, V-LDR, GCC, LDR, MDR, HDR 10%
RE and OP Development 7%
RR and AG 4%
C, CC, LC, GP, BP, VMX Fees as set by Council resolution
(B) Land title. Public land dedications, which are not dedicated to the City on a plat, shall be
conveyed to the City by warranty deed free and clear of all liens or encumbrances. The
subdivider shall provide proof of title, in a form acceptable to the City, prior to the conveyance
of the property.
(C) Land acceptability. The City must approve the location and configuration of any park
land which is proposed for dedication and shall take into consideration the suitability of the land
and for its intended purpose; the future needs of the City for parks, playgrounds, trails, or open
space; and the recommendations of the City’s Parks Commission. The following properties shall
not be accepted for park land dedications:
(1) Land dedicated or obtained as easements for streets, sewer, electrical, gas, storm water
drainage and retention areas, or other similar utilities and improvements;
(2) Land which is unusable or of limited use; and/or
(3) Land within a protected wetland or within a flood plain area unless the Council
determines that all of the following criteria are satisfied:
(a) Would be in the best interests of the general public;
(b) Would be valuable resource for environmental preservation, educational, or habitat
preservation purposes;
(c) Has an exceptional aesthetic value; and
(d) Would not become financially burdensome to the City as a result of maintenance or
preservation requirements.
(D) Trails. Trails constructed by a subdivider within dedicated public open space having at
least 30 feet of width are eligible for park credit. The maximum amount of trail dedication credit
shall not exceed 25% of the total dedication.
(E) Cash contribution in lieu of land dedication - residential subdivisions larger than three lots.
In lieu of the land dedication for major subdivisions, the City may elect to require the subdivider
to contribute a cash equivalent payment to the City’s Park and Open Space Fund, or may require
the developer to satisfy the park land dedication requirement by a combination of land and cash
contribution. For all major subdivisions, the required cash equivalent payment shall be an
amount equal to the fair market value of the percentage land dedication for the zoning district in
which the subdivided property is located. The City shall determine the fair market value of the
8
land by reference to current market data, if available, or by obtaining an appraisal from a
licensed real estate appraiser; the subdivider shall pay for the cost of the appraisal. The fair
market value determination of the appraiser shall be conclusive.
(F) Cash contribution in lieu of land dedication - minor residential subdivisions and
commercial development. Required cash equivalent payments for minor subdivisions or for
commercial development projects shall be as determined from time to time by Council
resolution.
(G) Payment of cash contribution. Cash contribution payments shall be made to the City prior
to final plat approval for commercial developments or major subdivisions, or prior to the City’s
approval of the deeds of conveyance in those cases where a residential subdivision will result in
3 or fewer lots.
(H) Previously subdivided property from which a park dedication or cash in lieu contribution
has been received, upon resubdivision with the same number of lots, is exempt from park
dedication requirements. If, as a result of the resubdivision of the property, the number of lots is
increased, the park dedication or cash in lieu contribution shall be applied only to the net
increase in the number of lots.
(F) (1) Any cash contribution so paid to the City shall be placed in a special fund. The money
shall be used only for:
(a) The acquisition and development or improvement of parks, recreational facilities,
playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open space based on the approved park systems plan;
(b) Redevelopment or rehabilitation of existing park facilities or sites; or
(c) Debt service in connection with land previously acquired or improvements thereto
previously constructed.
(2) No funds shall be used for ongoing operation or maintenance of existing parks
recreational facilities or sites or City vehicles.
