B. Ordinance No. 97-161:Klondike Stop Sign
At its August 16th meeting, the City Council requested installation of a third stop sign at
the intersection of Klondike Avenue and 32nd Street,
Council member Smith stated she talked to the Public Works Supervisor, who thought
adding the additional stop sign was unnecessary so she suggested postponing the
installation of this stop sign. Council member Johnston stated she talked to Sheriff Pott,
who was familiar with this street and intersection, and who did not agree with installing
another stop sign. Both Council members believed that decreasing the speed limit would
slow down drivers.
Bob Novak, resident who has lived Klondike 30 years, stated if safety is the concern, it
can be improved by the City if staff cut the brush 3 or 4 more feet for visibility. He said

A. Resolution No, 2005-086:Amended OP Concept Plan — Deer Glen
Planner Dillerud explained the plan, staff -dated August 16th, was just received and is
different than the plan the Council received in their agenda packet. He said there is one
less lot on the entrance road and they are adding a lot along the north and South Street.
Paul Danielson, the applicant's engineer, said the applicant had meetings with adjacent
property owners. He said in order to accommodate neighbor's concerns.the lots along the
entrance road were shortened up and closer to roadway, 5 lots were changed to 4; and a
trail created as a walking loop so it's not close to the house. He said they have brought in
Damon Farber and Assoc., an urban landscape firm to assist with landscape planning for

create 25-28 single family lots on a site of 72 acres in the southwest quadrant of Lake
Elmo Avenue and Highway 36. The range of lots proposed relates to the applicants'
anticipation of forthcoming amendment to the density allowable in OP from 0.40 to 0.45

C. Section 520 Site Plan Amendment:Villaee North Office Park
The City Planner reported this is a proposal to modify the site plan of a previously
approved project to construct a 10,000 square foot office building on 39th Street North —
Brookman Addition. The revised plan re -orients most of the off-street parking from the
front of the building to the rear and side of the building, and enhances the landscaping
that will be installed. The Planner said the new site design requires a slight increase to
the area of the site, which can be processed by staff as a Lot Line Adjustment.

, ot Size — Hardy
The City Planner reported as asked for a zoning variance to allow a parcel -
of -record that is non-conformin to be used for a single family dwelling site. The
parcel is slightly over t7,000 sq. d the minimum buildable parcel -of -record is 43,560
sq.ft. The applicant is,proposing tu move an existing 19th century farm house to the
parcel, The Planning Commissions recommendation includes a condition that the
applicant must demonstrate that the parcel provides a sufficient area of soils suitable for
both a primary and secondary septic drain field of a size suitable for the dwelling
proposed. The Planner said he received a report that the soils on the lot are acceptable for
a septic/drainfield designed for a 3 bedroom house and there is no room for a second
drainfield unless it is a mound system.
Council member Smith said that she is concerned that approval of the application would
open the door for people to place old buildings on substandard lots.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 16, 2005 7
Attorney Filla said that by distinguishing this farmhouse, the City would avoid setting a
precedent for other requests. He said it would be appropriate for the Council to specify
that a long distance move would result :in structural damage and unfavorable costs to the
applicant. He said documents regarding the variance should discuss the comprehensive
plan's interest in the preservation of historic buildings.
Linda Hardy voiced her concern that the developer would tear down the house because
she did not have a firm date for the house to be moved. Planner Dillerud responded that
no demolition permit had been issued by the City. Tim Freeman, FFE, said he would
work on the timing of moving the house and the construction of the road which would go
through the farmhouse's old lot.
M/S/P Conlin/ Johnston — to adopt Resolution No. 2005-087, A Resolution approving a
variance from Section 300.09 Subd 1. of the Zoning Ordinance for Linda Hardy to permit

conditions based on findings that the soils are acceptable for tS'e tic system designed for
a 3-Bedroom house, that the City has a strong policy of _ ving and encouraging

Agenda Section: Public Inquires/Informational
Agenda Item: Sessing Appeal
Background Information for September 2005:
No. 3B(2)
By his letter of August 23, 2006 Mr. Sessing has appealed the Administrative Determinations/Orders by
Zoning Administrator McNamara regarding the property at 5699 Keats Avenue. A copy of Mr.
McNamara's Determinations/Orders, Mr. Sessing's Appeal letter, and a September 1. 'letter from Joan/Steve
Zertman regarding this Appeal are attached.
The City Code provides for a formal appeal procedure (including Notice) on matters of the Zoning
Ordinance and a limited number of other City Code chapters. One such other chapter subject to a formal
Appeal is Section 700 — "Individual and Community Sewer Systems". So, with regard to the drain field
matter that Mr. Sessing has appealed the Council is formally acting as the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals. No form of Board action (Motion, Resolution, Ordinance) is specified by Section 700, but it would
be best to take action directing preparation of the Resolution either confirming the Zoning Administrator's
Order regarding the drain field or overturning the Order based on Findings.
There is no formal appeal process for Administrative Determinations or Orders provided by Section 505 of
the City Code. Section 505 covers site grading and excavating permits.
Action items:
Motion regarding preparation of a Resolution either confirming or
overturning the Order regarding the Sessing drain field.

3800 Laverne Avenue North / lake Elmo, MN 55042
I have received a memorandum from our city engineer, Tom Prew. His
recommendations to correct the following problems of runoff and drainfield size are as
follows:
1) Must add gutters to the north side of the pole building and the water from the pole
bldg roof be directed east around the back of the building. •
2) The driveway around the side of the house to the pole building must be finish
graded so all the runoff is directed south around the pole building.
3> The drainfield size does not match the as -built plan in our file. The drainfield size
should be increased by 50-55 feet to bring the house into compliance.
If you have any questions concerning the above issues please contact our city office.

Proj. No.: 13267.000
From: Thomas D. Prew, P. E. Routing:
Date: August 9, 2005
Background
The City has received numerous complaints from the neighbor to the north about the grading activities on
this lot. The primary complaints stem from the building of a pole bam near the north property line.
This house was built in 1989. At that time minor grading was done around the house in a normal fashion.
As shown in the chart below a small amount of pervious ground flowed northward across the property line.
There was no negative impact from this small amount of runoff.
When the pole barn was constructed, the homeowner moved in excess of 50 cubic yards of material to make
a building pad for the pole barn. The fill was placed in the natural drainage -way, and interrupted water
leaving the Zertman property to the north.
The recent building addition on the house has called into question all previous grading activity on this lot.
I have reviewed the previous grading activities on this property dating back to when the property was first
developed. Based on the contour maps I have determined the following:
Time Frame
Before House was Built
After House was Built
After Pole Barn was Built
After House Addition was Built
Review
Area Flowing to Property Line
0.12 Acres
0.09 Acres
0.15 Acres
0.13 Acres
The original house had no impact on the Zertman property to the north.
When the pole barn and driveway to it were built it increased the total area and amount of impervious area
that flowed towards the Zertman's property.

The pole barn being built in the drainage -way has changed the path the water travels to leave the Zertman
property,
The new house addition has slightly reduced the amount of area that flows towards the Zertmans property
because gutters were placed on the addition.
Recommendation
To help reduce the amount of water currently flowing to the north property line, I would recommend that
gutters be added to the north side of the pole barn and that the water from the roof be directed east around the
back of the pole barn. This will both reduce the amount of water that runs to the Zertman property, and
extend the life of the wood retaining wall.
The driveway from the house to the pole barn should be finished graded so that all runoff from it is directed
south around the pole barn. Again, this will both reduce the amount of water that runs to the Zertman
property, and extend the life of the wood retaining wall,
These two recommendations will reduce the amount of water which reaches the Zertman property from the
Sessing property.
Because water flows in a new path along the retaining wall to leave the Zertman property, the area should be
monitored so see if any damage occurs as a result of it.

Dear Jim McNamara,
I received your letter dated August 16th on Monday August 22, 2005. I had sent
you a letter back in 1998 when you wanted to know what happened to the draM field. I
explained this to you and the City back then and it was acceptable in your eyes as
reasonable. There were no corrections at that time needed. Now Tom Prew thinks that it
appears it could need to have an additional 45 to 50 feet added on just because he can not
verify that the drain field is not underground, what was installed in 1989 when the home
was constructed and you inspected is there except for the 4 to 6" that I told you I cut off
because I pushed on a solid pipe to drain the water so I could dig out the additional rock
that was installed 5 to 6 feet past the end of the pipe the solid pipe was stuck on so I cut it
off, This was acceptable to you then and should be now. Nothing has changed. Tom Prew
can not be positive that it is not there he is giving an educated guess what is below
ground. I have had my system pumped several times since then and that proves that it is
working fine and that there are no problems with the drain field. A probe does not verify
that the drain field is not there.
I hear by appeal your decision to force me to make my system bigger than what is
there now.
As for the grading for the new addition I received an approved grading plan from
the City of Lake Elmo and the water goes north on that plan and now Tom Prew says to
have all the driveway water go south, It has already been inspected by both Tom Prew
and you and you both said it was installed according to the plan. That should pass as is.
As for the pole barn I received a building permit and had all inspections that were
required and a grading permit was never requested or required from me by the city at that
time. In 1999 the field stone was an illegal landscape material according to Jerry Filla.
That was over ruled by the council to permit it. Now in 2004 it was all of a sudden was a
structure"problem for the fieldstone in the set back area and now it is a water issue. From
1997 when the pole barn was build and after I redid the field stone in early 1998 there has
never been a water issue. Now in 2004 water is the issue. How many times do I need
approval from the City of Lake Elmo to do a project and it not have to be crucified for it
over and over again. It was not required in 1997 to install gutters on the north side of the
pole building and it should not be required now and to change the whole grading plan
from what was approved by Tom Prew seems to me to be a little strange, since the
approve plan shows the water going to the north and it always went to the north and he
approved that last year and it was put in with good faith and reliance on the City that is
what the City wanted for a final grade and now after it had been inspected and installed
according to the approved City plan Tom wants all the water from the road to go to the
South, when he stated when he was out there on site for the final grading inspection that
there is not a real water issue here. There is only .01 differences from pre construction
from before the original home to present, over 1100 feet of northern property line that
sure is not much at all if it is even measurable. I would hope that Tom Prew has looked at
the additional water coming my direction from the Ziertman's since they have filled
overl/3 of the water basin just to the north of me with his pole barns and now pushes that
water my way it is more than likely pushing more than .01 acres my way of additional
water. But I forgot the city is only looking at me these days.
I appeal this decision also.
This City is on a witch hunt for anything and everything I do or have done. I have
gotten permission for everything I have started to build or have built. I even checked with
the city to make sure we could run a home occupation before we started and everyone
said yes it was allowed and we all found out later it was not the case, but now it is legal
since March of 2005 to run a home occupation.
I am appealing your letter dated August 16111 2005 in its entirety.
How with conscience how can the City change their minds on every subject
against me, when they have given permission to do everything by either permit or verbal
permission if a permit was not required and now many years later keep bringing up the
issues again and again.

Re: Sessing appeal scheduled for 9-6-05
Mr. Rafferty,
In regards to the Sessing appeal scheduled for 9-6-05. We have some comments that we
would like considered for this appeal. While we feel that items 1 & 2 (the gutters and
grading) need to be done on the Sessing property, so much more was discussed at both
the 3-10-05 meeting and the 6-30-05 meeting. These items also need to be considered
when discussing the drainage on the Sessing property. There is no mention of the illegal
4 inch drainage tube that runs under the driveway and comes out in the non buildable
setback area and is laying right along the property line. This should be removed. There
is also no mention of the 3 drainage ditches that were dug in to divert water to our
property. These should be filled in.
The other item that was a big topic of conversation that has not been addressed is the
setback along the Sessing pole building. This has an impact on the drainage. As
discussed at both of our previous meetings, there is a 10 foot required yard setback in the
RR zoning district. This non buildable area needs to be kept in its natural and existing
character and can not have any structures placed in this area. Currently the Sessings have
3 illegally placed structures in this area, There is the retaining wall that is rotting and
slumping on our property, the illegally placed drainage system and the man made berm,
These 3 items should be moved to the 10 foot required setback and the grade should be
restored to its original state. This will alleviate some of the drainage issues and restore
some of the natural drainage pattern of the properties.
In regards to the drainfield item. We would like to make sure that this is corrected to
state and county guidelines as well as city code. We would question the legality of just
adding on 55 feet to the existing drainfield, There is a 20 foot structure setback
requirement. Currently the lines come right to the retaining wall and do not have the
additional 20 feet of drainage required by state, county and city code. Please keep in
mind Mr. Sessing has admitted to altering his drainfield. This was done without a permit
and was not done by a licensed professional which is required by code
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerply,
Joan Ziertm all

Aenda Item: Confirrn Fire Chief Appointment
Background Information:
On September 24th of 2004 the City Council adopted Ord. 97-141 relating to the organization and operation
of the Fire Department. This occurred after deficiencies in the City Code were identified relating to
operational authority. At that time, I recommended that the officers in place would remain until some time
in the future, -when, I being a new Administrator, had enough time and information to move forward with
the officer appointment process as defined in the new Ord.
Approximately four Council meetings ago I announced that I would be opening and posting for all officer
position for application to the membership. Each Fire Department member received a written notice that all
positions for officers were being opened for application and inviting each member to apply if they so
choose. The written notice was also posted on Fire Department bulletin boards and announced at the
department meetings. The notice also included that any of the positions could become part time or fulltime
in the future.
One application was received for Chief, two applications for District Chief and five applications for
Captain. The selection of the Chief is the first step in this process as the selected Chief participates in the
remaining portion of the process.
Consistent with the Ord. the Mayor and I designed a selection/interview process for the Chiefs position
including the establishment of the interview panel. We agreed the Chair of the FLLP Committee should
staff the interview panel with the Mayor and me. The panel developed a series of questions for the process,
On Thursday, Chief Mahnquist was interviewed for the position and was determined by the panel
unanimously, exceptionally well suited for the position of Fire Chief.
The interview panel recommends Chief Malmquist to be confirmed by the City Council Consistent with the
process adopted in Ord. 97-141.

the Lake Elmo Fire Chief,

Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning
No. 9A
Agenda Item: Comprehensive Plan Amendmern/Rezoriing and RE Preliminary Plat — Park Meadows
Background Information for September 6, 2005:
- At its meeting August 22, 2005 the Planning Commission unanimously adopted a recommendation for
approval of multiple applications to develop a 28 acre site adjacent to Sunfish Park for 8 single family
' building lots. An existing structure of the site would be removed. The concurrent applications are to allow a
Residential Estates development on land currently land use guided as RAD and zoned RR. The Conunission
had conducted the required Public Hearing and tabled the applications at its July 25, 2005 meeting —
concurred in by the applicant. The primary reason for tabling was to allow the applicant an opportunity to
address concerns of planning and the City Engineer regarding the lack of Public street access to the site.
Following the July deferral the applicant submitted a reconfigured plat drawing and legal documents
purported to provide the City e\sufficient street easement to connect with the proposed Public street within
the plat. Based on these new drawing the Commission acted to recommend approval on August 22 even
though the City Attorney still had some continued concern with the details of street easement issue.
City Engineer review of the surface drainage plan has continued since the Planning Commission meeting.
As this memo is written the Engineer has not confirmed concurrence with the details of the drainage plan.
Since neither of the technical details noted likely will influence the basics plat design, we have brought the
applications forward for Council consideration with the recommendation to approve — specifically
conditioned on resolution of the street easement and drainage issues by the applicant to the satisfaction of
the City Attorney and City Engineer.

MEMO
(August 18, 2005 for the Meeting of August 22, 2005).
To: Lake Elmo Plarining Commission
From: Chuc
Subject: Pre ary Plat — "Park Meadows"
The Commission tabled this proposed plat for 8 single family building lots on a site of
28,09 gross acres at the July 25, 2005 meeting. The applicants agreed to the deferral to
permit further investigation and a solution to the public street access issue raised by staff.
The applicants have succeeded in obtaining easement rights from adjoining property
owners and have redesigned the plat is a manner that now provides a direct connection to
an existing public street at the southeast corner of the site.
The City Engineer has reviewed those easement documents and concurs that the direct
public street connection will be accomplished with the redesigned plat. The Engineer
notes, however, that geometry of the point of connection should be altered to provide a
90 degree intersection.
The City Engineer, by his July 20, 2005 Memo notes several other plat design features of
a technical nature that require further information or design modifications. Of those listed
we note that the applicant has reduced the street paved surface from 32 feet to 26 feet
(even though the Legend notes on the plat drawing still refers to 32 feet), but no further
information has come forth regarding the balance of the technical issue raised by the
Engineer — as of the writing of this Memo. While the Commission need not address those
technical matters since none will necessarily impact the general plat design, they should
be addressed completely prior to the Preliminary Plat submission to the City Council.
Planning Staff has again reviewed the plat proposal for compliance with RE design
standards — based on the revised design proposed. While the proposed configuration
again complies with the most RE quantitative standards, we do note that the applicant has
(both with the initial plat proposal, and with this revised proposal) calculated "average lot
area" based on gross site area rather than net lot area. The RE standards clearly imply that
the method of calculation of average lot area must be net of street right-of-way — and
which is the method that has been utilized on the few RE plats we have process over the
past 6+ years. Staff overlooked the applicant's incorrect calculation methodology during
review of the earlier proposal.
The sum of the lot areas of the current plat design is 26.36 acres (the sum of the 8 lot
areas noted on the plat) — actually somewhat more than the previous design due to less
street right-of-way. That yields a lot area average of 3.295 acres or about 1% less than the
RE standard — roughly 1350 square feet spread over all 8 proposed lots • There may be a
strategy available to overcome this insignificant shortage without eliminating a lot in the
process, and staff encourages the applicants to pursue such a strategy rather than deal
with a variance.
Staff recommends the Conunission now proceed with a reconunendation for approval of
the Preliminary Plat of "Park Meadows" per the plans staff -dated August 18, 2005
subject to the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the recommendations of the City Engineer.
2. Compliance with the recommendations of the City Attorney.
3. Compliance with the recommendations of the Valley Branch Watershed District
as found to be practical and reasonable by the City Engineer.
4, Reconfiguration of the plat to result in a lot area average of 3.33 acres, net of
street right-of-way.

LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
Date: July 21, 2005 for the Meeting of July 25, 2005
Applicant: J. P. Bush Homes/Barbara Berquist
Location: 3600 Kelvin Avenue
Requested Action: Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezoning/Preliminary Plat
Land Use Plan Guiding: RAD
Existing Zoning: RR
Site History and Existing Conditions:
The files of the City regarding the area west of Sunfish Lake — over to the east Sunfish Park
property line - are both numerous and convoluted. There appears to be several separate City
actions over the years involving creation unplatted tax parcels for the Beaubein family. Most of
those actions involve property between Kelvin Street (extended) and Sunfish Lake. There are
actions specific to the subject, however.
A 1992 Building Permit was issued to construct the combination home/stable structure that exists
on the site today. Access to this home is specifically from a private easement extension of Kelvin
Avenue. A 1993 action created the 10 acre "Exception" parcel at the northeast corner of the
subject site. The Public Street portion of Kelvin terminates at the Southeast corner of this site, The
site has Public Street access only via this easement. The roadway along the west site periphery is a
City park access drive, and not available for Pubic street purposes.
In 1999 the City approved a Preliminary Plat that included this site (and the site to the northeast).
A Final Plat was presented to the City Council, but withdrawn by the applicant prior to City
Council action. The plat was responsive to RR (10 acre minimum) standards, and intended only to
adjust property lines — no new lots would have resulted. That Final P1at proposed to dedicate the
west 33 feet (only) of the Kelvin private easement to a point that would have resulted in a cul-de-
sac on the subject site. It is unclear from the file (and we do not recall) why the applicant
abandoned the Final Plat. It may have been over the issue of constructing the Kelvin private
easement as a City street.
The site is gently rolling pasture land with a partial tree line east of the existing structure, and
along the south site periphery. A pond (and associated wetland) is located in the south center of
the parcel. Site elevation varies from a high point in the north center of the site to the low point
along the private driveway extension of Kelvin Avenue,
Discussion and Analysis:
The applicants propose division of the 28 acre site into 8 single family detached lots. The existing
structure/home is located on one of the proposed lots, but appears to be planned for removal — 7
new lots in any case. The plat is proposed to be responsive to RED guiding and RE (Residential
Estates) zoning . Both a Comprehensive Plan amendment from RAD guiding to RED guiding;
and, a zoning map amendment from RR zoning to RE zoning would be necessary prior to approval
of the Preliminary Plat even though these applications are being processed concurrently.
As we have noted with a recent plat proposal of similar scale, staff was advised by the City
Council several year's ago that the City would favorably consider creation of Residential Estates
neighborhoods — particularly where an existing parcel of land falls between 20 and 40 acres (and
therefore not eligible for OP treatment), and is not adjacent to other parcels that can be reasonable
combined to create a 40 acre OP -eligible site.
The RE zoning district provides very specific design standards for plats with respect to
average/minimum lot area and lot configuration (as well as the usual setback and other
dimensional standards). Staff review of the Preliminary Plat graphics reveals that the applicants
proposal appears to comply with those specific design standards, except as may be noted by the
City Engineer's review letter of July 20, 2005.
Among a number of technical issues of an engineering nature (all important inatters), a major
observation by the City Engineer, confirmed by Planning staff (and mentioned above) is the status
of access to this site. While the site is addressed as "Kelvin Avenue", Kelvin Avenue as a City
street ceases to exist a few feet south of the southeast corner of the subject site. From that public
street termination point, across the entire east border of the site access to the site and the homes
across the street is by private easement.
We understand that, at the time the lots were created east of the site, there was some type of
agreement whereby the private gravel road could be periodically maintained or improved (gravel
added) by the City on a contract basis with the home owners, The City would do the work and
invoice the property owners. We understand that this process has taken place periodically over the
years, Since this was purely a contractual situation, we do not believe that this easement portion of
Kelvin has become a public street by City continuously maintaining it as such — as is the case with
many unplatted, but otherwise public streets in the City. There appears to have been a very clear
intent by the City that this not be a public street until dedicated and constructed to City street
standards.
Findings and Recommendations:
The applicants do not, by documentation presented with this Preliminary Plat, propose to either
dedicate the Kelvin private easement as a public street nor construct the roadway to City
standards. Section 400.14 Subd.8 of the City Code requires proposed streets within a subdivision
to ",..connect with streets already dedicated in adjoining or adjacent subdivisions...". A single
Finding is made regarding the Preliminary Plat application that the proposed plat design does not
respond to this critical design standard of the City Code,
Planning Commission Actions Requested:
The City Engineer has recommended that the Preliminary Plat application be tabled pending
resolution of the several technical design issues he has raised by his July 20 Memo — the most
critical of those the lack of public street connection - constructed to City street standards to the
proposed public street within the plat. That finding alone is sufficient grounds to recommend
denial of the preliminary plat. Planning staff expresses concern with the time that may be required
to resolve the street access issue. It appears it would be necessary to either obtain half the right-of-
way from several property owners east of the subject site, or for the applicants to reconfigure the
plat to insert a full 50 foot street right-of-way about 17 feet off center (of the present private road
easement). Should the Commission decide to table the plat (and related Comprehensive Plan
Amendment/Rezoning) the Record must clearly indicate that the applicants agree to that action,
and that no specific date for reconsideration is established. Should an amended application
(reflecting public street access to the site acceptable to the City Engineer and Commission) not be
forthcoming by September 1, staff would bring the applications back to the Commission with a
recommendation for denial. That applicant concurrence should be in writing, and executed by both
the applicant (developer) and the property owner (Berquist).
Should the Conunission not concur with this structured tabling, staff suggests the only other action

We have reviewed the prelinfinary plat material dated August 8, 2005, and have the following
comments:
Streets
The developer has cleared up the right-of-way issue for the connection between the new road and
Kelvin Avenue. The City Attorney should verify that the property transfers are done correctly.
Our typical street section requires 12-inches of gravel base.
A typical island style cul-de-sac is required.
The street width of 26-feet meets the City's requirements.
The intersection between Kelvin Court and the private driveway should be reconfigured so that
Kelvin Court intersects with the driveway at a right angle.
The road within the newly acquired right-of-way between Kelvin Court and the end of the
existing Kelvin Avenue shall be upgraded to City Standards. It may remain a rural section,
Kelvin Avenue between TIC 5 and this project is slated to be overlaid in the near future. All
properties on Kelvin Avenue would be assessed for that work. I would recommend that this
development pay an impact fee for that future work. That fee could be equal to tour current
assessment rate.

Drainage
Drainage computations were not submitted for this review. They are required.
A VBWD Pertnit is required and the VBWD should verify the wetland boundaries.
The outlet for the wetland area is over the street. This is not allowed. A piped overflow or a ditch
is required.
The pond on Lot 8 does not have an identified outlet. This should be shown.
Waste Water System
No comments are required.
Water System
A 12-inch watermain is planned as part of the water system to cross this property from east to
west. The City will extend water from Tapestry to serve this plat.
Stuface Water
A VBWD permit is required
Storm water computations need to be submitted to the City prior to final plat approval.
Recommendation
We recommend approval of this plat with the recommendations listed above.
Sincerely,
Thomas D. Prew, P.E.

service road attracting fast food restaurants to it. He said the City needs to a route between Keats and
Lake Elmo Avenue somehow. He said there would be no harm done to have the easement but the specific
design should be left open for now.
M/S/P, Seclro/Helwig, To recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat and Development Stage Plan for
DISCOVER CROSSING based on items 2,3,4 in the staff report plus road widths as recommended by the
City Engineer plus the City Attorney's assurance that the city has no pedestrian liability, and add right of
way for a Highway 36 service road in a location as determined by the City Engineer.
Commissioner Ptacek directed attention to Figure 1 in the applicant's booklet. There are utility easements
of 10 feet on top of 50 feet of right of way, Utilities could be placed on the back edge of the curb.
The Planner said that small utility companies have to get permits from the city, it is not uncommon to
have them place utilities within three feet of the road. We can specify where they go.
Mr. Freeman said utilities can go into a joint trench too,
Commissioner Ptacek said utility companies cut down trees.
Mr. Freeman said the applicants want the utilities to work within three feet and do a joint trench.
MOTION AMENDED Ptacek/Sedro, To encourage the city to maintain the actual location of utilities
within three feet of the back of curbs with the intent to preserve more trees.
Commissioner Fliflet said she would be voting against the Preliminary Plat because of issues related to
the stamped trail.
VOTE: 7:2, Nay- Fliflet/ Schneider.
PUBLIC HEARING: RE Preliminary Plat — PARK MEADOWS
The Planner said the issues raised by staff are technical engineering issues except for road access to the
site. The City Engineer indicates the road ends just south of this parcel. Lots across the street were
developed with an agreement for easements. There is no connection to a public street, and that is a major
problem to this proposal. The City will not condemn lands for a city street. The developer can make
agreements with those property owners. Those owners have 33 feet he could take the 17 feet additional
off his land, and construct the street to city standards. The legal status is in question but the Plmmer said
he thinks it is the developer's responsibility to construct the road. If the developer agrees to tabling and
then it would have to be resolved by Sept. 1. The city attorney and city engineer have to work on this
with the developer. The public street is not the Planning Commission's purview.
Commissioner Schneider asked about the width of the roadway. The Planner said they could make it 22
feet wide.
Joel Anez, Landmark Surveying
Mr. Anez said he recently became aware of a major problem with access to this parcel. A road is depicted
in the 1949 plat book. On the west side of the parcel, a permanent easement existed until the park was
created. The owners quit -claimed that access to the city in 1974, and the parcel essentially became
landlocked. In 1999, that land was to be platted for a previous owner, and it received preliminary plat
approval by the City Council even though it was landlocked then,
Mr. Anez said the developer would construct a narrow pedestrian trail between two lots for access to
Sunfish Park. There is one wetland on the site. Mr, Anez displayed an alternative for the roadway by
relocating it to the farthest southeast corner of the site.
The Planner said the city would require park dedication fee in lieu of land. No appraisal has been ordered

THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 9:38 P.M.
Nobody came forward to speak.
THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 9:39 P.M.
Chairman Helwig asked if the applicant would like to table.
Mr. Anez said the applicant would like approval with a few minor changes, and if not then they would ask
to table. The Chairman said they can table it until they return with plans for the roadway and the city
engineer and city attorney have addressed the issues. He said there would be no time limit and no
additional fee.

the applicant's request. VOTE: 9:0,
City Council Update
The Planner said the City Council conducted a public hearing for Stonegate Vacation of two cul de sac
slivers and a cul de sac stub but referred it to the Planning Commission Meeting of August 9, 2005. He
then reviewed recent actions by the City Council regarding Planning applications.
The Planner said the schedule has been set for the balance of work on the Comprehensive Plan. The
Public Hearing will be held at Oak -Land Jr. High on August 8, 2005, It may not be televised at the Junior
High School. There will be a brief special meeting on Tuesday, August 9, for regular agenda items.
There is a variance request for the lot across from Farms of Lake Elmo and the Stonegate street vacation.
August 22, there will be a joint workshop with the Parks Commission for the Trail System Plan,
The Planner said that System Plans with the exception of Traffic arrived today.
The City Council has contracted with a master coordinator for the Old Village Plan. The tasks are to get
the disparate property owners on the same page, structuring the TDR, handicapped housing, a community
center, and several others.
The meeting adjourned at 9:51 p.in.

Agenda Section: Planning

Agendaitem: Revised OP Concept Plan — Deer Glen
Background Information for September 6, 2005:
On August 16 the Council tabled this matter (with the applicant's concurrence) to the meeting of September
6. The purpose of the deferral was to enable the applicant to address an alternative Concept Plan that would
better incorporate the 4 lots previously proposed along the east/west public road entrance to the site with the
other OP lots south of the church site. We understand that the applicant has developed several alternative
responses to this direction that will he shared with the Council and staff concurrently during the September
6 meeting. We therefore have nothing new to report to the Council at this time (Thursday, September 1).
We have attached a draft Resolution for approval of some OP Concept Plan of Deer Glen. Since there are
multiple versions of the Concept Plan in circulation, we have left the date of any approved plan blank, If a
particular Concept Plan version is approved by the Council, staff will date the plan and insert that date in
the Resolution. In the alternative, the Council could direct staff to prepare a Concept Plan denial Resolution
to be presented at the September 20 meeting.
Should the Council either direct preparation of a denial Resolution or decide to defer this matter the City
should immediately issue a 60 day review extension letter. The multiplicity of Concept Plan versions, some
of which that have not been provided staff for review for compliance with Zoning Ordinance standards
could be a significant basis for the 60 day extension, In fact, since a new version of the Concept Plan was
submitted by the applicant immediately prior to August 16 meeting, and we understand that other versions
of the Plan will be presented to the Council on September 6 there does not appear to have been a
"complete" application filed with the City yet.
Action items:
Motion to either adopt Resolution #2005 - , approving the Deer
Glen amended Concept Plan; or, Motion to direct staff to prepare a
Resolution denial the Deer Glen Concept Plan for September 20;
or, a Motion to defer a decision on the Deer Glen Concept Plan
pending staff review/report on an alternate plan (specifiy which
plan).
Should either of the last two actions he taken, a Motion directing
staff to advise the applicant that the City will require 60 additional
days to complete action on the Amended Deer Glen Concept Plan
due to applicant submission of the multiple differing plan during
the initial 60 day review period.

9. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING:
A. Resolution No. 2005-086:Amended OP Concept Plan — Deer Glen
Planner Dillerud explained the plan, staff -dated August 16th, was just received and is
different than the plan the Council received in their agenda packet. He said there is one
less lot on the entrance road and they are adding a lot along the north and South Street.
Paul Danielson, the applicant's engineer, said the applicant had meetings with adjacent
property owners. He said in order to accommodate neighbor's concems.the lots along the
entrance road were shortened up and closer to roadway, 5 lots were changed to 4; and a
trail created as a walking loop so it's not close to the house. He said they have brought in
Damon Farber and Assoc., an urban landscape firm to assist with landscape planning for
the site. He said the septic system has always been planned for a joint system with the
church site.
Joan and Steve Ziertman presented their reasons against the proposed concept plan and
their memo is attached hereto and made part of the Minutes.
Council members Smith and Conlin both said that they dislike the configuration of 4 lots
on the east/west street which sit by themselves because it does not make a cohesive
neighborhood.
Smith suggested redesign of the OP Plan to take the 4 houses out and to utilize the natural
features of the land to provide an alternative deign with those lots grouped with the
balance of the OP lots. She suggested that if the applicants move the church to the north
they could place the four houses in the vacated area south of the church.
Mayor Johnston and Council member DeLapp said they supported all the comments
made by Council Members Smith and Conlin.
Peter Beck, Attorney for the applicant, stated his client could go back to the 48 acre OP
plan. He said the Council wanted them to add the 20 acres. He noted that the applicants
didn't ask to add the 20 acres and additional lots. Beck said the church took 9 years to
get the church plan approved and wouldn't want to open this up.
Mayor Johnston asked if the applicant would be willing to withdraw the application.
Attorney Beck said the applicant would rather have it tabled to a date certain, and would
like two weeks. The Planner noted that the completed application date is July 5th.
M/S/P DeLapp/Smith — to table the concept plan of Deer Glen until the September 6th
Council meeting so the applicant can address the four lots in question. (Motion passed S-
O.).
Council member DeLapp asked about the road extension to the east property line and for
input from the Fire Department.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 16, 2005 5
DRAFT
Peter Beck stated the applicant will come back with the plan both ways regarding the
road extension,
B. Resolution No, 2005-086:OP Development Stage Plan, CUP and
Preliminary Plat — Discover Crossing
The City Planner reported this is an OP Development Stage/CUP/Preliminary Plat to
create 25-28 single family lots on a site of 72 acres in the southwest quadrant of Lake
Elmo Avenue and Highway 36. The range of lots proposed relates to the applicants'
anticipation of forthcoming amendment to the density allowable in OP from 0.40 to 0.45
units per Buildable Acre. The extra three lots will be platted as outlots until the OP
ordinance is amended over the next few months. The applicant will have to return with
another Final Plat to convert the outlots into buildable lots.
Tim Freeman, FFE, stated the developer would like a monument sign and stamping and
coloring of the street to indicate the area for pedestrians to walk. If the street is repaved,
the residents should pay the extra assessment so that portions are stamped again. He said
the street is above and beyond the City standards at no cost to the City.
Attorney Filla reminded the Council there is a report from the City Engineer that states
that the stamping of the street is not a realistic plan and that it will be very expensive for
the City to maintain this on -road -trail in the manner that is originally designed. Filla
stated that he cannot tell the Council that this stamped road would contribute to accidents,
but there is an increased liability with the street design proposed because the color -
stamped streets is like asking people to walk in the streets,
Council member DeLapp stated he didn't like the monument sign, the split road or the
lighting on the bridge.
M/S/ DeLapp/Smith - to approve Resolution No. 2005-086, A Resolution Approving the
Open Space Preservation Development Stage Plan, Preliminary Plat, and Conditional Use
Permit of Discover Crossing plat with the exception of street lighting on the bridge and
the monument sign.
MIS/P Johnson/Conlin — to amend the motion to exclude the color -stamped roadway
paving. (Motion 4-1: DeLapp).
Council member Johnson asked to move the previous question. (Motion failed 3-2:
Johnson, Conlin)
Tim Freeman said the developer would put money in escrow to cover the removal of the
color -stamped roadway if the residents don't like it.
