C. Escrow Reduction Prairie Ridge Office Park
The City Engineer recommended a reduction in the escrow placed with the City for
grading and landscaping improvements at the Prairie Ridge Office Park, The engineer
certified reduction of the Letter of Credit from $190,000 to $20,000 to cover the
landscaping improvements that remain to be completed. The City Planner advised that
the Letter of Credit expires on April 30, 2005 and should be extended to at least October,
2006 to cover two full growing seasons on the landscaping yet to be installed on the site,
Council member DeLapp pointed out that lighting has been an issue. Planner Dillerud
reported he wrote a letter to the developer asking him to get the lights turned off at an
earlier hour and to take care of the two lights at each exits points. The planner has not
seen a response to that letter.
M/S/P DeLapp/Johnson — to approve reduction of the Site Plan escrow for the Prairie

7. MAINTENANCE/PARK/FIRE/BUILDING:
A. Update on Building Dept.
The Summary Building Report provided for January, 2005 reported one new residential
building permit issued and no new commercial building permits. Council member
DeLapp commented that the building permit detail summary provided each month does
not state where the permit is located. He would prefer being alerted on areas of septic
problems, etc. This will be a topic for a Public Safety Council Committee Meeting.
The City Planner reported code enforcement began semi-monthly meetings to review
complaints, and they have picked out four complaints to follow through legally. Attorney
Filla is preparing an update for the next council committee meeting. A systematic code
enforcement program for 2006 budget should be considered because there will be a cost
involved and probably not covered by penalties.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 2005
8. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT:
A. Aunrove Design for Water Tower
The City Council agreed to place a new water storage tank in Sunfish Lake Park. The
two questions needed to be addressed was what will be the design of the tower and
exactly where it will be sited in the park.
A few residents, whose properties abut the park area, expressed concern that the water
tank would be an eyesore within the park and have potential impact on their property
values. The cost to move it as far west as possible would cost the city $30,000-$40,000.
This water tower would serve not only the new Tapestry development, but also serves
future neighborhoods.
MJS/P DeLapp/Johnson - to advise the property owners, located one half mile radius
from the location of the storage tank in Sunfish Lake Park, of an informational meeting to
discuss the design of the tower at the March lst Council meeting. (Motion passed 5-0.)
B. Public Works Building.
Terry Olsen, TKDA architect, presented a drawing of the public works building
resembling a barn and showing the pitch roof was eliminated and an updated floor plan.
Council member DeLapp asked that the barn door and the cupola be made a little larger.
The Public Works Supervisor stated he has been involved in the planning stage and
approved the design proposal.
M/S/P Johnson/DeLapp - to authorize TKDA to create plans and specifications for the
Public Works building, as presented. (Motion passed 5-0.)
9. PLANNING, LAND USE 8,: ZONING:
A. Letter of Credit — Fields II and Little Bluestem
The Planner advised the Council that the City Park improvements required to be
constructed by Robert Engstrom Companies as a condition of approval for the Fields of
St. Croix II and Tana Ridge plats have not been completed as of this date. The most
significant improvement incomplete is the City Park that lies between Fields II and Tana
Ridge. That park was to have been constructed by the developer per plans approved by
the Park Commission as satisfaction of the Park Dedication requirements for Fields II,
Little Bluestem and Tana Ridge. In addition, the developer -installed landscaping within
the plat remains short of that of the approved landscape plan, and there may be
infrastructure "punch list" items to be completed as well.
The Planner requested direction from the Council whether the City should present a sight
draft in the full amount of Letter of Credit #1804 (on or before February 27, 2005) and
utilize the funds to complete the required improvements within the plat, or approve
renewal of the Letter of Credit.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 2005 4
The most recent Letter of Credit renewal/extension expire on February 27, 2005. The
development agreement between Robert Engstrom Companies and the City specifies that
all public infrastructure and landscape improvements within the Fields of St. Croix 2nd
Addition were to be completed by September, 2000.
M/S/P Johnson/DeLapp - to notify Robert Engstrom Companies that it may renew the
subject Letter of Credit in the full amount for not more than 30 days (i.e. to March 27,
2005.) During that 30 day period Robert Engstrom Companies must present to the
Council both complete plans for project improvements that remain incomplete (primarily
the park and project landscaping), and a detailed schedule for the completion of those
improvements. A council decision regarding further extension of the Letter of Credit will
be based on their approval of the plans and schedule presented. Any plans/schedules
presented by the developer must be on one of the March 1 St or March 15 city council
agendas. (Motion passed 5-0).
If the lender does not approve a 30-day extension of Letter of Credit #1804 at the close of
business on February 25, 2005, the City will present the lender with a Sight Draft for the
full amount of the Letter of Credit.
B. Resolution 2005-018, Met Council Draft Water Resources Plan
The City Planner reported the Metropolitan Council is considering a draft of their Water
Resources Policy Plan as is required every 10 years by State Statute. The draft plan
covers Regional Policy regarding Waste Water (Sewers), Storm/Surface Water and Water
Supply, On February 8, the Public Works Council Committee reviewed the proposed
City comments on the draft plan that had been prepared by staff and directed that those
comments be incorporated into a resolution for City Council consideration. A draft
Resolution was submitted for approval.
M/S/P Johnson/Smith - to adopt Resolution No. 2005-018 offering City Council
comments on the Metropolitan Council Draft Water Resources Plan. (Motion passed 5-
0).
C. Street Naming Ordinance
At their February 8 meeting, the Council's Public Health and Safety Committee directed
staff to draft Council action that would reintroduce a uniform street naming system
within the City that follows the general pattern (Alphabetical west -to -east) of the 1971
Agreement, but which also allows some street naming latitude as long as the alphabetical
range is adhered to. This reintroduction of the uniform street naming system was brought
to the City's attention by the Lake Elmo Fire Department and the Washington County
Sheriffs Department.
M/S/P DeLapp/Smith — to adopt Ordinance No 97-149, A Uniform Street Naming And
Numbering System. (Motion passed 5-0.)

The City Planner reported the Finance, Legal, Legislative, Personnel Council Committee
recommended the City retain TKDA planning and engineering assistance as is required to
complete the 2005 Comprehensive Plan modifications. Based on the time element, the

rather than the alternative of going through a lengthy RFP process to secure such
assistance.
M/S/P DeLapp/Johnson - to approve the use of the planning and engineering contract
services of TKDA for the 2005 modifications to the comprehensive plan, not to exceed
the $9,000 in the existing planning budget as reported in the Monthly Operating Report.

Fire Chief have reviewed the study which reviews projected needs, services and
considers locations of neighboring fire services as an informational item. This is a
professional study and will be presented to the Council in 30 days.
C. Library Tax
Mayor Johnston believes that Washington County should be spending the local tax
money of a Lake Elmo branch rather than using it to fund libraries in other parts of the
county. Washington County receives about $215,000 per year from Lake Elmo taxpayers
in the form of a library tax. He said the County is taking Lake Elmo's money with no
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 2005 8

the City could remove itself from the library system and how quickly money would
become available, He requested council support for a procedure of requesting tax money
for a dedicated library account used by the City.
M/S/P DeLapp/Smith — to direct staff to define process by which the City could remove
itself from the Washington County Library system and request the tax money from Lake

residents south of 10d' street. She added that with two residents that live south of 10th
Street, Commissioners Ben Roth and Todd Ptacek, she felt the City had a very capable
Maiming Commission., Council member Smith's verbal comments are in written form

Comprehensive Plan for Lake Elmo
2010, 2020, 2030
Council Input
Given that we are planning our city for the next 25 years, at which time Lake Elmo likely
will be fully developed, we must consider carefully community needs which are
important now and which will be important in 25 years. My input includes four land use
issues and three planning process issues.
LAND USE ISSUES
1, Employment Corridor — The Met Council agreement specifies that we use
1300 REC units for non-residential development. Using these REC units to
create a business park offering a diversity of jobs to match the professional
skills of our residents provides a real benefit for our citizens. Doing so will
use approximately 2% of the land in Lake Elmo while providing residents with
the opportunity to work near where we live. This reduces commuting time
and contributes to our quality of life.
2. ,Residential Development south of Tenth Street — Under the terms of the
Met Council Agreement, we have the opportunity to create a model senior
community. This type of community can be based around a care center and
contain a diversity of housing types and price ranges to fit the varied needs of
our aging population while having only a minimal impact on surrounding
neighborhoods. Many cities fail at creating a senior community because they
rush to complete a discrete "project" rather than planning a comprehensive
community.
3. Middle Income Housing — By requiring that every homeowner purchase 2.5
acres of land to build a housing unit, Lake Elmo is raising the cost of home
ownership beyond the reach of our teachers, firefighters, police officers, and
other middle income professionals. By zoning a portion of Lake Elmo for 1
acre lots we have an opportunity to make living in Lake Elmo an affordable
option for professional families in the middle income range. Creating an area
where the density requirement is one home per acre will preserve the
possibility for moderately priced housing in the future. As an example, the
area north of Stillwater Blvd, east of County 13, and south of Highway 5 is a
potential location for a more dense neighborhood where there may be less
upward pressure on home prices in the future. Most people on one acre lots
are very pleased with the rural characterthese lots provide in comparison to
other housing options available elsewhere.
4. Housing for the Disabled — Every community has a small number of
children with disabilities. As these children grow into adulthood, they need
housing options which may include care or supervision. Lake Elmo needs to
ensure that the housing needs of these citizens of Lake Elmo are addressed
in our Comprehensive Plan.
PLANNING PROCESS ISSUES
5. Buffering existing neighborhoods south of Tenth Street. — One of many
benefits of a clustered senior community is that it can contain a variety of
housing types and density levels, This gives us more flexibility to create
buffering around existing residences. For example, the density for a care
facility may range from 20 to 30 units per acre. One level townhomes are
typically built with 3 to 4 units per acre, This diversity allows us to create a
well planned, clustered senior community that meets the market needs and
allows us to place these homes in manner which will buffer them from existing
homes.
6 Voting Demographics — Our Comprehensive Plan will define development
over the next 25 years, during which Lake Elmo will experience significant,
steady population growth. This growth must be carefully staged to ensure the
interests of voters from existing neighborhoods, who value the rural character
of our community, are not overwhelmed by new residents who do not yet
share that value. The longer we delay carefully staged development, the
higher the risk that a large influx of new residents in a short period of time will
lead to election results that could change our development philosophy and
destroy the character of our community.
7. Population Calculations — Population projections must be made using
realistic calculations the use of artificially high projections is not acceptable
within the terms of the agreement with the Met Council. Inflated estimates
bring the potential for mandatory redevelopment if it is determined we have
not planned in substantial, good faith compliance with Met Council
requirements. The typical density for senior housing is 1.5 people per
residence. The typical density for "Active Senior" housing is 1.8 people per
residence. The typical density for single family residential housing is 2.5
people per residence. We can use 2.5 people per residence in our
calculations only when we are planning housing which justifies that density,

Subject: Approach to Comp. Plan Modifications Req fred by Met Council
My request to the Planning Commission is that we accept threquirements by the Met
Council and clearly understand the difference between "imp ement" and "plan for", With
great effort our City came out of the fight with the Met Cou oll with some lofty planning
expectations and a minimum of "in -the -ground" requireme ts. We started with a
requirement of stopping all development in the City for two and then beginning a
30 year plus phase -in of sewered development and redevelo inent, leading to a
population of approaching twice the population of Oakdale,i We ended with a far
different requirement, one that might in the end leave our City with no negative
consequenoes to the residents from the existing 2020 Comp. Plan. We do not have to
grow any faster than we show in the existing 2020 Comp Phin, but we need to show how
we could accept limited urban growth south of 10" Street pest 2020.
We have agreed to allow the Met Cowell to bring two very 'restricted sewer pipes into
our City coining west from the Eagle Point Development an coming north up Lake
Elmo Avenue. The total capacity that the Met Council is e ending up to our City limits
is with enough to sewer 8,700 Residential Equivalent Co nebtons, (one household of any
size, or ten employees, equal one REC unit), We are requirdd to show how we could
accept 6,600 REC's,100 existing in Eagle Point Developnieit2, and 6,500 new REC's, We
need to show provisions for connecting to 1,500 new or exis4ng dwelling units and a
small number of new businesses by the end of our existing 2 poo Comp Plan planning
period in 2020,
All required the REC's can be shown for installation between now and 2020, in
Cimarron, the Old and extended Old Village area. All the of business conneotions can
be made within the existing Eagle Point Development, or immediately adjacent to it. The
only difference from the existing, rejected Comprehensive Pian, and our revised
Comprehensive Plan, is that we must create a "Post-2020 Staged Urban Growth Zone",
comparable to those in all Metro Area urbanizing cities, south of 10th Street,
This is my proposal, consistent with our agreement, and consistent with maintaining the
intent of our existing 2020 Comp. Plan, and consistent with die City Council's promise of
minimizing impact on existing residents in the City. It is the proposal that resulted
directly from the meetings with Peter Bell and is exactly whit the Met Council has
specified, without an implied option for the City to accelerate urban growth:
1. Continue housing and commercial development fiord, of 10" Street almost
exactly as currently planned, with the substitution of 1,000 REC's for existing or
new housing in the Oki Village Area,
1,141.1 11,

FAX 651-777-1001 P. 1
2. Show the replacement of the package sewer system Ii Cimarron with Metro I
sewer.
3. Limit pre-2020 business development south of 10 Street to Eagle Point I
Development and to the minimum amount of adjacent land, if any, oonsistentIwith
the 2030 Development Framework.
4. Show the undeveloped land south of 10th Street as "rost-2020 Staged Urban
Development".
5. Allow developers to accelerate high density, urban g pwth in selected areas south
of 10th Street if they transfer the permanent develop lent rights from low density
rural, land, whose owners are willing to send their ex sting development right.
(TDR).
This planning work should take a minimum of time and alm. st no changes to the e
Comp. Plan, as post 2020 development south of 10th Street will not be detailed and a
land use will look exactly the same on the maps north of 10
numbers need to appear on the map other than to stipulate t
north of 10th Street and that the staged growth south of 10th
population of 24,000 people by 2030. (I would remind the
Council defines a household as something like 2.5 or 2.85 p
of new housing population north of 10Th Street is counted in
will be much higher than Met counail of 2,5 — perhaps appr

mission that the MetI

unit in Carriage Station — if we do not put an emphasis on kw occupancy housing uriits.)
To summarize:
Limit change pre-2020 to the exact specifications of the Agrement. Show the feasibility
of urban growth south of 10th Street with a post-2030 staged growth area..
Anything further will increase, or aceelerate the increase of, rbanization in the City, and
should only be oonsiderod, after the City's revised Comp. Fl n is approved by the MO
Council and has the flill backing of the City residents.
By our agreement with the Met Council, unlike other cities i the 7 County Metro Area,
we cannot be forced to accept additional development mand es, such as compliance with
the "Livable Cities Act" etc., through 2030. In the end, if w • do not induce addition
development, we may be able, to reduce overall developme After all we have betv'een
15 and 25 years to further reduce the impact of our Agreem
MET CO COMP PLAN (COUNCIL INPUT).
Liz Johnson — 2/15/05
Now that we have an agreement we need to look at how it will be implemented to
achieve the agreement.
V My expectations are that we honor the agreement.
• We meet the population expectation requirement
• We meet the REC unit requirement.
• We approach this with the intentions to honoring the agreement.
My input in regards to implementation:
V We work towards finding ways in which to protect the current residents
south of 10th street.
V We work towards achieving the identified needs of the community
throughout the last 10 years. Example:
• Senior Housing — and place it in the area south of 10th street.
This not only has been an identified need for many years but is a
great tool to help us reach our population goal with little or no
impact on some of our systems (less traffic than single family
housing units, no impact on the school system, less potential city
service needs as many times they take care of their own roads, etc.,
in their community)
We could look at having the more full service care senior housing
complex system south of 10th street with additional senior
apartment type of housing within the old village also.
I do not believe it is a "here" or "there" type of situation,
• Middle Income Housing
There is a need to have some middle income housing for families
that provide needed professional services in our community but
are unable to afford housing above middle income level.
(Teachers, fire fighters, etc.)
• }lousing for Residents with Disabilities This could be part of the Old
Village plan.
(See Reverse Side)
MET COUNCILCOMP PLAN (COUNCIL INPUT).

Job Opportunities within our Community
This provides opportunities for our citizens to work within their
own community.
This decreases the amount of time parents are away from their
children, which increases the time that parents can spend
providing guidance to their children.
This decreases the amount of traffic throughout the Twin Cities
area.
Planned growth (staging growth) of REC units so the infrastructure can
accommodate the growth.
* Starting in 2007 the business corridor along 194 could develop as REC
units are made available. This would also start provide tax revenue in
order to help manage the infrastructure needs. (Addresses REC units
and commercial development requirements.)
• Starting in 2007 the Senior Housing Complex could be developed,
(Addresses REC units and population.)
• Starting 2008 (Cottage Grove connection available) growth planned in
the old village area. (Addresses REC units and population.)
Between 2010 and 2030 have staged growth in the rest of the planned
residential development south of 10th street. (Addresses REC units and
population.)
Non-REC unit population growth (to meet the 2030 population
requirement) — occurs between 2010 and 2030. (OP Developments)
ents/ideas/Concepts for Revised Comp Plan
. Based on the settlement, we have two primary constants to work with,
6,600 recs, 24,000 pop. I believe the rest Is for Lake Elmo to determine.
2. Plan for staged development & growth.
3. Prevent hopscotch development; establish controls such that each area
staged for development is 50% (??) complete before allowing
development to begin in the next area.
4. Establish buffer standards to protect existing rural residential areas south
of 10th
5. Establish landscaping standards south of 10th for streets, parking lots,
residential and business development that promotes a rural feel. The
more trees, shrubs etc, the more the sound of 194 traffic will be absorbed.
What other things can be done to lessen the impact *of dense
development???
G. Establish architectural standards south of 10th that are harmonious to the
existing landscape and rural feel.
7. Take a look at senior housing from the senior perspective, i.e., where do
the seniors of Lake Elmo want to live, Old Village vicinity or along 194?
What type of housing do they prefer, high-rise, multilevel apartment -like,
townhouse?? What amenities do they want?
8. Is a mix of life -cycle housing appropriate for south of 10th, single family,
apartments, town homes for residential south of 10th?
9. Challenge city staff to provide model city examples where the community
desired to retain a rural atmosphere or another type of unique identity.
How did they do it? Think cutting edge.
10. Ensure public hearings are adequately advertised and that the public has
opportunity for input.
Anne Smith - Elements for Revised Comp Plan
1, Protect residents south of 10th Street, Use of landscape architecture to provide buffers
between existing neighborhoods and any new developments.
2, Senior Housing; We need to address where it will go and how much we will need in
the corning two decades. (Growth Study)
3, Housing for Disabled; Needs are similar to those of seniors. Could we combine these
two or perhaps have them adjacent to each other? (Shared trail systems, access to Park
Reserve, close to services which could possibly be inside the main care facility such as
grocery, theatre, barber and beauty salon etc...).
4. Corporate Woods Development along 1-94. Many urban areas such as Kansas City,
Houston, Boston, etc, have designed office parks that are unobtrusive. It is important to
meet our Code Requirements so that we are able to use all 1300 REC units.
5, Phased Development; It is important not to front-end load or back -end load all of our
development.
With that said, I feel we have a very capable Planning Commission with two residents
living south of 10th Street, Todd Ptacek and Ben Roth. I think it is important to let the
Commission do its job.

Next Genesis
Background information for March 15. 2005,:
1) Website Design The City's current website was designed as a start-up program \vith limited time and funding
dedicated towards the project. It was intended to utilize the resources available at the time, for the purpose of
disseminating information to the residents. The purpose of the Web Site has somewhat changed with
advances of technology, Thevision is to continue using the Web as a communication tool and in the future
provide expanded services such as Dog Licenses. Permits and Utility Payments.
The First step in this process is to redesign our current Website. The primary goal is to make the site more
"friendly user" and to improve the overall appearance. New features such as access to an up -to date city
codes/ordinances and key word search will be added. The expectation, as a result of accomplishing these
objectives, will be that the Website becomes one of the primary sources for communication with our
residents.
Attached, please a proposals from Next (3enesis. The proposal in the amount of 5 1.2,380,63 entails the
complete redesign and requires little time from Staff, The Council Finance Committee has reviewed
this proposal and has recommended approval of this project,
2) DSL The City receives its existing internet service through Comcast Cable Company at no charge. A major
drawback in receiving, this free service is continued interruption in accessing the internet due to Comcast
frequent changes to the Internet Protocol (IP) address. As our reliance on the internet becomes crucial to our
operation it has apparent that the City takes measures to avoid breakdowns in communication via the internet
Enclosed is a proposal from Next Genesis to provide DSL service at a $253.88 start-up cost and $ 90.00 per
month thereafter. The Council Finance Committee has reviewed this proposal and has recommended approval
of this service.
3) 'Monthly Maintenance, As we move forward in the technology age it becomes more apparent of our reliance
on the need for Management Information Systems (MIS) support services. In 2004 the cost for this service
was approximately 1080.00/Month. Next Genesis has submitted a proposal for Monthly Support Services for
5 900.00/Month. This will enable to lock the City into a constant rate for at least. a year and will assist in
Calculating expenses in future budgets. The Council Finance Committee has reviewed this proposal and has
recommended approval.
Action Items:
1) Approve Next Genesis Proposal For Web -Site Redesign.
2) Approve Next Genesis Proposal for DSL Service.
3) Approve Next Genesis Proposal for Monthly Maintenance
Service.

da Item: Workers' Compensation for Elected Officials
Back2rouod information for Ma cli 15, 2005:
Minnesota Statue 176,011 subd.9, (5) provides that "municipal officers elected or appointed for a regular term of
office" are considered to be "employees" for workers' compensation purposes only if the city has passed an ordinance
or resolution to that effect. This would provide coverage for elected officials injured while performing his or her
duties.
Workers' Compensation for elected officials used to be an expensive proposition. Over the past several years. LIVIC1T
has substantially reduced premiums, for this coverage. to bring the cost more in line with the actual risk. The total
premium for all elected officials in 2005 will be S 71.00.
Attached, please find Resolution 2005-022 Workers' Compensation for Elected Officials for your consideration.
Please note that the Resolution must be adopted in order to provide the Mayor St Council Workers' Compensation
Coverage.

Agenda Item: Capital Improvement Plan Amendment
Background Information for March 15, 2005:
The 2005-09 Capital Improvement Plan was approved by the City Council on December 07, 2004. The Infrastructure
Reserve portion of the CIP as presented did not have expenditures for street improvements in 2005 primarily due to
lack of adequate reserves to fund a $ 418, 521 Hilltop reconstruction project. Consequently, all street projects
originally planned in previous CIP 's were moved back one year. The City Engineer and Public Works Director has
since reconsidered the Hilltop project and concluded an overlay rather than reconstruction would be appropriate in
2005.
Attached, please find Resolution 205-XXX amending the Infrastructure Reserve Account of the Capital Improvement
Plan. The amendment pertains to Hilltop Street Project and moving the Tablyn Park area streets into the 2005 portion
of the plan. In an effort to spread the future expenditures, the Laverne/Layton overlays have also been move forward
one year. The net total of this Amendment reduces expenditures by $305,087.
The Amended CIP results in a total of $ 230,000 for street improvements in 2005 of which $132,150 will be assessed
to property owners. The CIP also reflects an additional $186,859 transfer from the General Fund Reserve Account.
Action Items: 1) Adopt Resolution 2005-XXX Amending Person resuonsible:
the 2005-09 Capital Improvement Plan. Tom Bouthilet

da Item: Monthly Operating Report
Background information for March 15, 2005:
Attached please find the Monthly Operating Report for March. This report covers revenues through the end of
February & expenditures loflarough March 15. 2005. There are no expenditures of major concern however as noted
in Feb, report, the annual premium for the Workers Compensation has been paid and this report reflects annual
premiums for General Liability insurance as well. The Misc. account under Administration has expenditures for the
Code Codification ($7470.00) which has money set aside in reserve. There is a S 4669.00 cost for the appreciation
dinner, partially reimbursed through a donation. Sale Tax collected through the sale of the street sweeper in the
amount of $5008.00 and paid to the State was also included as part of the Misc. expenditure. Most of these
expenditures will be reallocated to the appropriate fund.
The Accounting Services expense was for the City's Annual Audit which accounts for a major portion of the Budget.
Please note in all of the Health/Dental Accounts, there are some Payroll distribution errors which vill be corrected.
I have taken the sum of all the Health/Dental sub -accounts and compared them to the Budget. At this point it appears
that we are on track to exceed the budget however it should be noted that the payroll deduction credits are not
reflected in the report and therefore I anticipate the account being close to what is budgeted.
Filially, in the Electric Utility Accounts I expect that we will exceed budget, Although the expenditures for gas &
electricity are considerably greater during the winter season, it appears that the rates are corning in higher than what
was anticipated in the Budget.

I have reviewed the proposed stop sign on west bound Highlands Trail at Hilltop Avenue.
The intersection does not meet traffic warrants for a stop sign. (not enough traffic)
However due to the limited sight distance due to surrounding landscaping and the
topography, the stop sign is recommended.
Mike Bouthilet and I agree that the uphill grade on approach to the stop sign is not steep
enough to cause a problem to most vehicles.

Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use & Zoning
No. 9A.
Agenda Item: Preliminary Plat, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit and OP
Concept Plan — Deer Glen
Background Information for March 15, 2005;
At its meeting February 28, 2005 the Planning Commission conducted the required Public Hearings and adopted a
recommendation to deny all of the subject multiple applications for the platting of 108 acres, an OP Concept Plan
covering 40+ acres; A Comprehensive Plan Amendment (from RAD to PF) for 20 acres; and rezoning (from RR to
PF) for 20 acres, and a Conditional Use Permit for a 52,000 square foot church facility on the 20 acre site. No action
was taken regarding the church Section 520 Site Plan pending Council action on the precedent applications.
In making its recommendation the Commission adopted the several Findings of the February 24, 2005 Planning Staff
Report. While all of the interrelated applications were recommended for denial, the Comprehensive Plan Amendment
was precedent to the Rezoning, and Conditional Use Permit. Technically, no action was required on the latter two
applications based on the denial recommendation of the Plan Amendment. The primary Findings made as the basis
for the Plan Amendment denial recommendation were that no error, nor change of conditions had been demonstrated
that would support a change of land use classification on the 20 acre church site from RAD to RR.
The Preliminary Plat was recommended for denial based on the Finding that one of the proposed parcels failed to
meet the RR district minimum lot area of 10 acres.
The OP Concept Plan denial recommendation was based both on the Preliminary Plat denial, and the Findings made
by the City Council in denial of a nearly identical OP Concept Plan in 2004,as follow:
1. The Concept Plan is inconsistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan Environmental Protection policies
regarding residential developments conforming to the limitations presented by natural features, including
natural drainage systems, by proposing significant modifications of natural grades and existing floodplain on
the site.
2. The Concept Plan is inconsistent with the Purpose of the Lake Elmo Open Space Preservation Ordinance by
proposing to significantly alter natural drainage features of the site.
While 110 specific Findings were made regarding the Conditional Use Permit denial (and none were required without
the proper PF zoning), the Staff Report referenced the applicant's traffic study for the site, and conditions of the CUP
that would be necessary should either the Commission or Council decide to approve the Plan Amendment and
Rezoning for the church site. It should be noted that the applicant's traffic study failed to forecast any future traffic
from the outlots of the plat for which no development type and scale is declared by the applicant. In that respect the
traffic study is not accurate as to the potential impact on City and State roads.
The Chair of the Planning Commission did offer the applicant an opportunity to request tabling of the applications
pending completion of the overall Comp Plan Amendment process by the City. The applicant declined.

PUBLIC HEARING: Variance for Septic — Gibson
The Planner introduced the application for a septic system variance. The site is on the south shore of
Lake Jane. The applicant proposes to replace the septic system in a location that locates 75 square feet of
the new drainfield within the shoreland setback of Lake Jane. The Planner said this plan is the second
location chosen which impacts the site less than the first site chosen; and, that the DNR, city engineer,
and the city planner indicate this is the best location for the septic system.
Commissioner Schneider asked if the well for the neighbor to the west is indicated on the site plan,
The Planner said the neighbor's site was checked, and that is the well that was found,
Applicant's Representative, Mo Anderson
He noted that the square footage of the drainfield within the OHW of Lake Jane is only one little corner.
THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:09 P.M.
THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING 7:10 P.M.
M/S/P, Armstrong/Ptacek, To recommend approval of the variance for a septic system for Mr. Gibson
based upon the recommendation of the City Engineer that states this is the best design and a minimal
request and based upon Findings and recommendations of the City Planner. VOTE: 7:0.
PUBLIC HEARING: DEER GLEN
The Planner explained that there this agenda item represents a series of applications to develop more than
100 acres. The applications are for Preliminary Plat, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, an OP
Concept Plan, and a Conditional Use Permit to locate a church. The Preliminary Plat shows 40+ acres
in the southerly portion of the parcel for an OP subdivision, an outlot north of the OP site for a public
street, a 2" Outlot to the north extends to the right of way of Highway 36, and the remainder of the parcel
is the site for a church facility. The parent parcel comprises approximately 108 acres. The two parcels to
the north are not planned for development at this time.
The Planner said that in 1996 the entire site was proposed by the applicant for PF zoning and reguiding.
The City Council denied that application. The City amended the PF zoning district standards in 2000 to
limit the area of any PF zoned site to a maximum of 20 acres.
The Planner reminded the commissioners that in 2004, the applicant came forth with an application on the
same basic location for an OP Concept Plan with 18 lots essentially as shown today. The Commission
recommended the 2004 plan for approval, but the OP Concept Plan was denied unanimously by the City
Council because of substantial grading to overcome natural floodplains, contrary to the policies of the
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 28, 2005 1
DRAFT
Comprehensive Plan,
The Planner organized the applications sequentially for the Planning Commission saying that
the Preliminary Plat stands alone. The site is zoned RR, and may be platted into parcels without
indication of use as long as parcels meet the size requirements of the code and are otherwise logically
designed in compliance with the subdivision code.
He reported that the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is for the 20 acre site to be changed from RAD
guiding to PF. The Planner explained that there are two common criteria utilized to consider a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment, 1.) Was there an error in the original Comp Plan? 2,) Has there been a
change in conditions since the existing Comp Plan was adopted that suggests amendment on the site in
question? The Planner said be cannot detect any Comp Plan errors regarding the subject 20 acre site, nor
can he report any changes in condition impacting the subject site since the last Comp Plan review and
adoption by the City. He said that rezoning of the 20 acre site to PF is another portion of the application
and is mandatory only if the Commission supports reguiding the parcel to PF.
The Planner advised that the Conditional Use Pei wit must have two sets of Findings. The first four
Findings address with the PF Zone and House of Worship in relation to the mandatory CUP conditions,
and the Commission must then address five Findings in the zoning ordinance required for CUP. He
said that the maximum wastewater generation condition was by the church ; and, that the volumes of
wastewater forecast are the maximum allowable He noted further that the City Engineer has suggested
that there may be an issue with the church site having "direct" access to a Arterial or Major Collector
street, as is a required CUP condition. The Planner advised the Commission that Keats Avenue is a
Major Collector, but the proposed Public street from Keats to the church site would not be.
The Planner said the OP Concept Plat is virtually the same as last year's with minor technical corrections
that were requested last year; and, as result he believed the same Findings made by the City Council
apply. The Planner said there are still substantial alterations to natural terrain in order for some lots to be
above flood elevations.
The Planner said a Traffic Study was submitted and there are improvements to both Keats Avenue and the
Highway36 intersection with Keats Avenue recommended by the traffic consultant. He reported that the
applicant's consultant suggested that the applicant should not have total financial responsibility for those
improvements. 14e also noted that he doubted that MnDOT would have the financial resources either, and
that the City certainly would not.
The Planner then advised the Commission that the Planning Staff Report contained an inaccurate
observation as to the proposed total structure area of the church. He advised the Commission that the
proposed church would, in fact, be in the neighborhood of 50,000 square feet rather than the 27,000
square feet reported in the Planning Staff Report,. With that correction he advised the Commission that
the Traffic Study does match the church building area. He did note that the applicant's traffic study model
does not assume any traffic generation from the 40 acres at the north end of the parcel — an assumption
hat no development of that 40 acres will ever occur. He questioned whether that was a reasonable
assumption to make given the demonstrated issues with the Keats/Highway 36 intersection even with the
improvements that are recommended.
FINDINGS:
The OP Subdivision Preliminary Plat generally meets Chapter 400 of the City Code and RR zoning
district standards and could be recommended for approval. There was no error or change in conditions
supporting a reguiding from RAD to PF. Therefore, it is not supported in rezoning either. A CUP is not
in order if the first two applications are not in order. The Planner recommended reducing the size of
church to match the application. A 3/4 intersection must be constructed, and there must be a written
commitment for who will build and pay for it.
Lake Elrno Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 28, 2005 2
DRAFT
The Planner reminded the commission that they can work with just the preliminary plat and the OP
concept plan without having to deal with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning or Conditional
Use Permit.
Commissioner Schneider asked what would happen if Mn/DOT closes Keats. He asked how that would
leave the church.
The Planner replied that the Commission will have to look at east/west traffic movement on parallel
routes to Highway 36 to gain access.
Commissioner Armstrong asked what the ramifications are of approving the preliminary plat.
The Planner said the Commission could approve it with contingencies.
Chairman Helwig asked why the Council unanimously rejected the previous application.
The Planner said the Council determined that the Concept Plan was inconsistent with the Comp Plan due
to the proposal of significant alterations and changes in grading and natural drainage features to create
lots that would not be within the flood plain..
Chuck Palmer, Lakewood Evangelical Free Church
Mr, Palmer said he was accompanied by Paul Danielson, a Civil Engineer from Kimley Horn &
Associates and Craig Peterson, an architect with BWBR,
Mr. Palmer said this application is an improved and updated version of what was presented in 2004. He
said their application is to build a church and develop a residential 40 acre site to help fund the church.
Their church supports and services families and community groups. He said that Mn/DOT states that this
development does not create any unsatisfactory problem on Highway 36 but does present delays on Keats
approaching Highway 36. He said there will be minimal impact on the intersection except on weekends.
He said they are willing to absorb some of the expense of construction at the intersection,
Paul Danielson, Civil Engineer, Kitnley-Horn & Associates
Mr. Danielson said the best site for the church in this 108 acre site is in the middle on higher ground with
buffers from other and potential developments. They have modified the plan for flood storage without
impacting wetlands. They plan to shave off high ground in order to create building pads and they will
relocate natural depressions for water storage. The preliminary plat was established with outlots in order
to expand the OP in future developMent. Soils are sandy, granular and there are some rocky soils.
Percolation is applicable throughout. To meet requirements of VBWD they are accounting for problems.
The discrepancy in numbers in the traffic study is because the church is 27,000 square feet of footprint
and 52,000 gross square feet, which includes the number of seats in the church. He said the church will
be a non -peak hour generator of traffic, They are asking to divide into 18 lots and build 52,000 gross
square foot church. .
Craig Peterson with BWBR
Mr. Peterson said he had three big goals for the project: It should fit in with the community without
screaming for attention; respect the site where it sits low and earthy in color; and, it should clearly be
open and inviting, reflecting the personality of the church. They chose multiple materials to deal with the
scale and with grounding it into the landscape.
Paul Danielson
Mr. Danielson said that drainage and grading issues had to do particularly with how they interact with
wetlands on the site.
Chuck Palmer
Mr, Palmer said this is a careful and thoughtful plan, and he asked for the Commission's support with a
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 28, 2005
DRAFT
positive recommendation.
Commissioner Deziel asked for the two cul de sacs to be displayed by the architect so the Commission
could understand the changes to grades in the OP portion of the site plan. Those plans were reviewed.
Commissioner Ptacek asked the percentage of the congregation residing in Lake Elmo.
Mr. Palmer said there are 4 — 6 families from Lake Elmo, He said he believes the Met Council would
approve the project if the City Council approves it.
Mr. Palmer said if a % intersection is constructed, the p.m. peak traffic would still be at failure but it
would be an improvement; and, that on Sundays, the intersection would be at failure but with
improvement moving it up to the C level like many others in our community,
Paul Danielson said there are 15 foot slopes now, and the proposal is to modify the flood storage by
cutting and filling in order to create the easterly cul de sac. VBWD says the elevation for the lowest floor
in homes must be two feet higher than the flood elevation. They will be trying to internalize the grading
activity. They areproposing a constructed wetland in the outlot west of the roadway sized for the church
and the residences, He said the entry road must be cut fairly deeply too.
Commissioner Roth noted traffic condition changes in the Mn/DOT letter. He said the choice of land use
for a church will minimize trips per day versus full residential development, but on Sundays traffic will be
higher than typical.
The Planner said the MnDOT IRC Study was completed in 2001 and he served on that technical
committee. Modifications like overpasses and % intersections would limit direct access onto Highway
36. He said if a % intersection was built, due west traffic from Keats would have to turn right on 36 and
then backtrack from Lake Elmo Avenue.
Paul Danielson said that in advance of submittal to the city, they went to VBWID.to work out technical
issues and then to Mn/DOT for similar reasons. Any development on the site will have impact but a
church will have significantly different impact. No traffic from the forty acres was assumed in the traffic
study. Mn/DOT made a recommendation about constructing a right turn lane. He said the 3/4 intersection
would be accommodated with that construction.
Commissioner Ptacek said the intersection would still fail.
Paul Daniels said that is because that intersection fails today.
Chairman Helwig asked how many cubic yards of dirt will need to be moved.
Paul Danielson said that 100 yards ofmaterial will need to be moved, and averaged over 108 acres the
result is not too much. That is total on site, He said they are trying to balance the site so they are trying
to limit import and export 5-12,000 yards but he could not precisely recall. He said it is very closely
balanced.
Chairman Helwig asked about building the road,
Mr. Danielson said substrate seems good but they will have to bring in gravel.
THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:25 P.M.
Christine Storms, 10689 60th Street North
Ms. Storms said she has to turn around on Keats everyday. There is no non -peak time on Highway 36

except between 3 — 5 a.m. Traffic at that intersection needs to be looked at, Sometimes it takes her 10 to
15 minutes to get out of her driveway.
Joan Ziertman, adjoining neighbor bounded on the north and east sides
Ms. Ziertman said the property owners have shown support and have been good neighbors. She said they
have tried to utilize the property minimizing the impact to surrounding property owners. She said she
would like to know how close is the drop in elevation to their property line. She also asked about the
future plan for the trail in the outlot closest to the Ziertman Property. She asked the location of the
secondary drainfield site. She asked who is responsible for upkeep and maintenance on a drainfield site.
She said she and her husband are supportive of the church.
Steve Ziertman
Mr. Ziertman pointed out that the location for the church is good because there are no homes there. The
church is in the middle of the parcel and pretty far away from any home. It is not an eye catcher for
traffic. He said the side of the church with a second floor faces the trees. He said it is a good fit.
THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:30 P.M.
Chuck Palmer said the trail is just a concept and can take direction from the city. They don't know what
they will do with that remaining 40 acres, He said that most likely the remaining 40 will be*residential
lots. They do have a backup drainfield sufficient in size,
The Planner said the city's draft Trails System Plan could have a north south segment in this development
that might not impact the Ziertmans at all. From the City's perspective there is no need for the trail Ms,
Ziertman refers to on the applicant's plan.
Commissioner Deziel said the church does a good job addressing architecture and lay of the land. This is
what the Commission seems to be looking for. It is in scale. His only question is about grading and
filling. The church plans little alteration of the land around it and the residential development plans a lot
of alteration. Church architecture fits in with the land and responds to what the Planning Commission
likes in Lake Elmo.
Chairman Helwig said the plan looks good. He said he is concerned with redoing the Comprehensive
Plan and the Land Use Plan. He would love to have seen this application after completion of the
Comprehensive Plan,
Commissioner Ptacek he said the Commission is backed into a comer with the Met Council issues, and in
light of changes they are forcing us to do these things. He said he would not support making a change to
the Comp Plan at this time. He said he could support the preliminary plat.
Commissioner Deziel asked if the Planning Commission could put this proposal as Comp Plan change
into the new Comp Plan,
Chairman Helwig said the housing could be included but that it may be best to approve with other
Comprehensive Plan changes being made.
The Planner said he cannot say now whether it would be a problem for the commission. Maybe the
addition of this plan could be covered but it is too early to say,
Commission Sedro said it is a nice looking plan but with the city's current work on the Comprehensive
Plan, she is not prepared to make that decision until we know the numberS. The more houses in those
outlots, the better it would be.
Commissioner Armstrong said the applicant purchased the land before zoning and guiding were in place,
Lake Elrno Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 28, 2005 5
DRAFT
He said this parcel was never zoned for a church or guided as such. He said the city has a difficult
situation because the neighborhoods around 1-94 have hammered the Commission, and we need to be sure
we are not going to offset our agreement with the Met Council, and it needs to be reviewed with
ramifications elsewhere in the city. He asked if the applicant requested tabling.
Chuck Palmer said the city did not have an accepted Comprehensive Plan when the church bought the
land. He said the 1990 Comprehensive Plan had a CUP designation and some other designation which
included churches. The applicant respects what the commissioners are going through but they have
waited 9 years to build their church. He said the price of the project has doubled and is moving toward
tripling. Steel, wood, and drywall have all increased in price. He asked the commissioners to make a
decision now.
Planner informed the commission on how to address the motion. He said the preliminary plat could be
treated separately but the Comp Plan Amendment is a key action. If the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment fails, rezoning fails and the CUP fails. He said the OP project can stand alone.
M/S/P, Armstrong/Ptacek to recommend denial of the preliminary plat, OP Concept Plan, Comprehensive
Plan Amendment, rezoning, and CUP based upon Findings in the Staff Report and because
Comprehensive Plan modifications have not been completed. Commissioner Armstrong added that he is
not opposed in principal and appreciates the applicant's hardship.
Commissioner Roth said he agreed but in the next two months he would like to see the commission take
this parcel into consideration while dealing with the Comprehensive Plan . VOTE: 7:1. Deziel - Would
like to see a positively worded denial recommendation.
Adjourned at 8:49 p.m.
Reconvened at 8:59 p.m.
The Planner said the Home Occupation issue has not died and a public hearing is scheduled for March 14
to consider a text amendment allowing home occupations in the RR district because it is allowed in all
other residential districts. He asked if the commission wants to wait or deal with the rest of the home
occupation issue on March 14.
Commissioner Deziel said he would like to table the rest of home occupations until the Planning
Commission is done with Comprehensive Planning because there is too much on the Commission's plate.
Chairman Helwig agreed. Commissioner Armstrong said it can wait because it is just a housekeeping
issue.
Comprehensive Plan Modifications: Policy
At the last meeting the Planning Commission considered Comprehensive Plan Policy and Old Village
Policy. The Planner said suggestions were made and he used them to modify the text. On March 7, the
Planning Commission will conclude policy after addressing Council issues and staff will ask for a motion
to address all that has been done. He said that then work can begin on Land Use Plan text and staging •
issues.
The Planner said City Wide Planning Policy, page one, had no changes in his notes.
Commissioner Schneider said on Point 5, take out "at least the minimum" because we will comply with
the numbers,
The Planner said that is a significant change.
Administrator Rafferty said that statement begs the question of staging. Staging is key and as we move
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 28, 2005 6
LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
Date: February 24, 2005 for the meeting of February 28, 2005
Applicant: Lakewood Evangelical Free Church
Location: Southeast corner of State Highway 36 and Keats Avenue
Requested Action: Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezoning/Preliminary Plat/Conditional Use
Permit/Site Plan
Land Use Plan Guiding: RAD
Existing Zoning: RR
Site History and Existing Conditions:
The applicant has submitted 6 concurrent applications for a 108 acres site. These applications can be
logically divided into three groups related to the necessary sequence. of City actions requested: 1.)
Preliminary Plat (entire 108 acres); Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezoning/Conditional Use
Permit/Site Plan (20 acre "church site") ; and, 3.) OP Concept Plan.
The 108 acre "parent" site is essentially divided into two distinct natural regimes. The north 60 acres of the
site is gently rolling farm land containing several topographic depressions that will surely qualify as
Jurisdiction Wetlands. The southerly 48 acres of the parent site — the subject of the OP Concept Plan
application — is rolling in topography, and nearly 25% wooded, with several small topographic depressions
that will be classified Jurisdictional Wetlands. An existing farmstead is located on the northerly portion of
the 108 acre site adjacent to State Highway 36. The 225 foot wide power line easement crosses the entire
west/east portion of the parent site.
The 108 acre site was the subject of concurrent applications for Comprehensive Plan Amendment ("OP" to
"P"), and rezoning ("RR" to "P") that were reviewed by the City over a 5 month period in 1996 and 1997.
Both applications were recommended for approval by the Planning Commission but subsequently denied
by the City Council on a 5-0 vote. An amended application to reduce the size of the area subject to Plan
amendment and rezoning from 108 acres to 29 acres was also denied by the City Council on a 4-0 vote.
One of the issues prominent in the 1996 discussions regarding applications for this site was that of the
potential scale of the church project coupled with sizeable portions of the site that remained undesignated
as to future use, but proposed to be zoned "PF" — opening the possibility of even more church expansion in
the future. The 1997 attempt to amend the application for "P" Plan and "P" zoning from 108 acres to 29
acres following the initial denial was obviously a response by the applicant to that issue. A second response
to 1996/1997 case involving this site — this time by the City — was a lengthy (and often contentious)
undertaking to amend the PF section of the zoning ordinance. A major feature of that ordinance
amendment, as adopted in 2000, limits the area of any new PF zoned parcel to 20 acres. That was/is a
strategy to limit the scale of any PF use (be it a church, or school, or government site). To date, there have
been no circumstances where the new PF standards have been applied. That ordinance clause does,
however, bear on the overall proposal for the 108 acre site.
A 2004 application by the applicant officially addressed only the 48 acre south portion of the site as an OP
Concept Plan. The Concept Plan application was denied by the City Council by Resolution #2004-55 on
July 6, 2004. The Planning Commission had previously recommended denial of the Concept Plan. Had the
Concept Plan been approved, it was clear that the platting, comprehensive plan, rezoning and Conditional
Use Permit applications here addressed would have followed — with the platting of the 108 acre site
necessary to at least provide public street access to the OP site.
Discussion and Analysis:
Preliminary Plat
The applicant proposes to divide the 108 acre parcel into 1 Block/Lot Of 20 acres (church site) and 3
outlots. Outlot A (south and extending to Keats Avenue frontage) would be 48 acres (OP Concept site);
Outlot B (9.26 acres) is not designated as to use; and, Outlot C (29 acres) is also not designated as to use. In
addition the applicant proposes dedication of Public street within the site to serve all parcels.
With the exception of the area of Outlot B, the proposed plat complies with the lot design standards of the
existing RR site zoning, and generally complies with Chapter 400 preliminary plat requirements. At 9.26
acres Outlot B is proposed to be less than minimum 10 acre lot area required by RR zoning standards, A
simple adjustment of the proposed Public road location and/or the Outlot A/Outlot B property line would
result in compliance with the lot area standard.
As proposed, angular Outlot A would be viewed as a "flag lot" — normally not an acceptable plat
arrangement. One purpose of the Keats Avenue frontage portion of Outlot A could be to provide sufficient
site area to qualify Outlot A for OP development (40 acres). There would appear to be more logical
alternatives to accomplish the same objective, such as adjusting the lot lines of Lot 1, Block 1 northerly to
increase the north/south dimension of Outlot A.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezoning
Assuming the plat is approved as now configured (or close to this configuration) the applicant proposes a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reclassify Lot 1, Block from RAD to PF (Public Facilities). Should
that Comprehensive Plan Amendment be approved (and concurred in by the Metropolitan Council) the
resulting zoning would/must be amended from the present RR to PF (Public Facilities and Quasi -Public
Uses). The preliminary plat area proposed for Lot 1, Block 1 is the 20 acre maximum area allowed by the
Zoning Ordinance for newly created PF sites.
As we have advised the Commission regarding prior applications for Comprehensive Plan Amendment, the
generally accepted Findings to support any such amendment are limited to :
1. Change of Conditions, or
2. Error in the Plan
In this case it is difficult to argue that an error was made with the existing RAD land use classification.
Virtually all of the similarly situated lands adjacent to State Highway 36 as land use classified RAD, and
new residential development as close as across Keats has been successfully developed as an OP project.
The site proposed to be reclassified in not closer to Highway 36 or Keats than the homes in "The Hamlet".
Proximity to Highway 36 and/or the power line easement would appear to be an inadequate argument for
an "error",
We find it equally difficult to discern any "Change of Conditions" that would suggest a land use
reclassification as proposed. In fact, there has been a very recent potential change of conditions that would
suggest that reclassifying lands from RAD to PF would not be in the best interests of the City. The recently
entered -into Memorandum of Agreement between the City and the Metropolitan Council mandates a
doubling of the "build -out" population of Lake Elmo from that assumed by the current Comprehensive
Plan, The City is now beginning review of the Comprehensive Plan in the context of accommodating this
changed condition, Retention of "Rural Character" in the majority of the City while planning for a
doubling of the build -out population may suggest that "losing" even 20 acres of residential land use
classification to a reclassification to PF could complicate this task by transferring those "lost" units to
higher residential density elsewhere.
Conditional Use Permit/Site Plan for Church — Lot 1. Block 1
The applicant also proposes a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan for a 27,300 square foot church on
proposed Lot 1, Block 1 of the plat (20 acres). Consideration of the CUP/Site Plan applications
presumes affirmative recommendations regarding the Preliminary Plat for the 108 acres, and the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning of Proposed Lot 1, Block 1.
The 2000 amendments to the PF district standards provide for specific CUP standards to be met by "Places
of Worship", Those include:
1. Volume of daily wastewater generation.
2. Access to major streets.
3. Maximum wastewater treatment scale.
4. Prohibition on certain exterior improvements related to athletic fields and broadcast facilities.
It appears from the documentation submitted by the applicant that the proposed Place of Worship generally
complies with these mandatory CUP standards — with forecasted wastewater flow and treatment scale at the
maximum allowable by the ordinance.
The Zoning Ordinance also specifies that the Commission must provide recommendations (Findings)
regarding any CUP application regarding probable effect of the proposed use upon:
I . Health, safety, morals, convenience, and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands.
2. Existing and anticipated traffic conditions including parking facilities on adjacent streets and land.
3. Effect on utility and school capacities.
4. Effect on property values of property in the surrounding area.
5. Effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan,
While the applicant has not provided documentation in support most of these required findings, Finding #2
(traffic) is addressed by a Traffic Study which is addressed in detail below.
OP Concept Plan
The applicant proposes an OP Concept Plan to develop 18 single family detached lots on a site of 48 gross
acres. The required Preserved Open Space is 25 acres. The Concept is virtually identical to the plan
proposed (and denied) in 2004.
The Concept Plan proposes a 200 foot OP buffer setback for structures along the west and south property
borders, but a 100 foot structure buffer along the east property border. The reduced structure buffer is
responsive to the alternative buffering (to the 200 foot standard) the OP standards permit where both other
visual impact mitigation measures are utilized; and, where the adjoining property is eligible for OP
development. The adjoining parcel to the east is 66 acres in area, and thus qualifies as an OP site by
exceeding 40 acres. The proposed 100 foot east structure setback may qualify, depending on the year round
visual efficacy of the existing tree line, The applicant should be required to demonstrate that structure
screening efficacy with the OP Development Stage documentation.
It appears that the 2005 version of the OP Concept Plan generally complies with OP technical design
standards of the Zoning Ordinance in all respects. Modifications have been made to the Concept that
overcome the technical compliance issues raised by staff in 2004.
General to the Overall Site/All Annlications
Copies of the applications plan graphics are submitted by the City to "outside" reviewing agencies for
comment even though the level of detail at Concept Stage is generally insufficient for complete reviews by
those agencies. In fact, in many cases, we receive no response at all at the Concept Stage. The applicant has
applied for and received a Valley Branch Permit for the proposed site grading and construction. The flood
plain mitigation issues noted by Valley Branch in 2004 have apparently been resolved tothe satisfaction of
the District with plan revisions.
Valley Branch does note on the Permit, however, that their action on the Permit is subject to any local
government actions regarding the proposal. This is an important notation in that the 2004 OP Concept Plan
denial by the City was based in part on Findings related to the proposed grading and drainage plans. We
observe that, even though Valley Branch may now find the grading and drainage plan compliant with its
surface water and flood plain standards, the fact remains that substantial modifications to the natural site
topography is required to attain that compliance — raising house pads above the flood plain. It does not
appear that the approval of a Valley Branch Permit in any manner modifies the Findings of City
Council Resolution #2004-055 (Denial of the 2004 Concept Plan).
A Traffic Study has been prepared by the applicant's consultant. The Study addresses traffic generation
from the subject site related to the OP Concept (residential) and the church site. It is noteworthy that the
church site traffic forecasts are based on a church facility of 50.000 mare feet rather than the facility of
27,000 square feet that the CUP and Site Plan applications present. Perhaps coincidently, the Traffic Study
dos not forecast any traffic generation from the 40 acres of the overall 108 acre site for which no future use
is committed by the applicant. Does this imply that the uncommitted 40 acre site is intended by the
applicant to accommodate a nearly doubling of the church facility in the future? Without a
commitment as to the future use of the 40 acre Outlots B/C, the validity of the traffic forecasting and public
road impacts comes into question.
The Traffic Study concludes that the Highway 36/Keats intersection already experiences weekday PM peak
hour Level of Service (LOS) of "F" — Failure, That should come as no surprise to residents that use that
intersection daily. The proposed development of the site is forecasted to compound that existing problem to
some degree. The Study also forecasts that Sunday AM peak hour LOS will fall from an acceptable "B" to
day to an unacceptable "F" as the result of the proposed development of the site (without) considering
traffic from Outlots B/C) if no improvements are made to that restrict turning movements at the Keats/36
intersection. The Study recommends redesign of that intersection to as a "1/4 intersection", with left turn
movements from Keats to Highway 36 eliminated. That intersection modification would improve the
Sunday AM peak LOS to "C" (still less LOS than today), and improve the PM peak intersection
performance somewhat (but still result in an LOS of "F").
In its 2005 review letter on these applications MnDOT clearly states that construction of a 1/4 intersection
will be required at Keats/36 (a recommendation of the 2001 IRC Study — which was not adopted by the
City - as well), along with a right turn lane from Keats to Highway 36 eastbound. MnDOT has made no
offer to financially participate in either improvement, and neither improvement appears in the Lake Elmo
Capital Improvements Program over the next 5 years — at least.
The overall 108 acre site is proposed by the applicant to be addressed as three components: 1.) The 48+
acre OP residential site that is the subject of this OP Concept Plan; 2.) A 20 acre site for a church facility —
the maximum size PF site per current PF standards; and, 3.) A 40 acre "remnant" parcel (adjacent to and
paralleling State Highway 36) for which no end use is specified. During the meetings with staff over the
past two years the applicant and its consultants have been advised repeatedly that it would be the position
of staff that the entire 108 acres must be addressed as to end use concurrently with any applications for use
approvals on anv portion. It appears this was an issue in 1996 as well. Staff continues to believe this to be
the only posture the City should take regarding this 108 acre site — now compounded by the Traffic Study
forecasts — or lack thereof regarding the 40 acres of Outlots B/C.
Findings and Recommendations:
As noted above, these applications should be considered and Findings/Recommendations addressed in a
specific sequence. Findings and recommendations for denial of the Preliminary Plat renders the subsequent
applications void since neither properly sized parcels nor public street right-of-way would exist. Approval
of the Preliminary .Plat and OP Concept Plan , but denial of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is
possible, but in that instance the Rezoning to PF, Conditional Use Permit and Section 520 Site Plan
applications become void for the "church site" (Lot 1, Block 1).
Based on the foregoing, staff suggests the following Findings regarding the "Deer Glen" Preliminary Plat:
1. The Plat generally complies with the standards of the RR zoning district and. Chapter 400 of the
City, except for the area of proposed Outlot B.
Staff suggests a Planning Commission recommendation for approval of the "Deer Glen" Preliminary Plat,
subject to a Condition that the area of the Outlot B be increased to not less than 10 acres.
Based on the foregoing, staff suggests the following Findings regarding the Lakewood Evangelical Free
Church application for Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for proposed Lotl, Block 1:
1, No change of physical conditions relating to the site or surrounding areas is found to support a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment from RAD to PF.
2, No error is detected in the land use classification of the proposed site that would support land use
reclassification from RAD to PF,
Those Findings would support a recommendation for denial of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and
also render the applications for rezoning, Conditional Use Permit for "Place of Worship" and Section 520
Site Plan void.
Should the Commission make alternative findings in support of Comprehensive Plan Amendment as
proposed, and recommend approval, the rezoning action from RR to PF is adequately founded by
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Should the Commission recommend both the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and rezoning, the
Conditional Use Permit application remains valid. Based on the foregoing discussion of that application
and required Findings, staff suggests that those CUP Findings can be made affirmatively (both Place of
Worship specific, and CUP general) upon the following additional Conditions:
1, The Traffic Study prepared by the applicant be amended to reduce the size of the church facility to
match the CUP/Site Plan application, and again submitted to/reviewed/approved by the City
Engineer and MnDOT.
2. A written commitment from MnDOT regarding its construction of a % intersection at Highway 36
and Keats Avenue to be completed prior to issuance of any building permits on Lot 1, Block 1,
Deer Glen (the church facility).
3 A written commitment from MnDOT and/or the developer of Lot 1, Block 1, Deer Glen to
accomplish all turn lane and 3/4 intersection improvements required by MnDOT at no cost to the
City of Lake Elmo.
Detailed review of the Section 520 Site Plan has not been completed by Staff — and is best postponed
pending precedent decisions regarding plat, Comprehensive Plan, Rezoning and CUP applications.
As noted previously, the OP Concept Plan is virtually identical (with minor technical modifications to
overcome OP variance issues) to the Concept Plan for the same site that was denied by the City in 2004.
Staff suggest that the same Findings for denial found in City Council Resolution #2004-055 are valid, as
follow:
1. The Concept Plan is inconsistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan Environmental
Protection policies regarding residential developments conforming to the limitations presented by
natural features, including natural drainage systems, by proposing significant modifications of
natural grades and existing floodplain on the site,
2. The Concept Plan is inconsistent with the Purpose of the Lake Elmo Open Space Preservation
Ordinance by proposing to significantly alter natural drainage features of the site.
A Planning Commission recommendation for denial of the OP Concept Plan is appropriate based on those
Findings.
Planning Commission Actions Requested:
Based on the Findings suggested, the Commission could adopt a Motion to approve the "Deer Glen"
Preliminary Plat (upon the condition of lot area enha,ncement). Should the Commission recommend denial
of the Comprehensive Plan amendment, no further action is technically required regarding the rezoning or
Conditional Use Permit The OP Concept Plan can stand alone (assuming the Preliminary Plat is
recommended for approval).
These applications were officially filed with the City as of February 8, 2005.

Re: Lakewood Evangelical Free Church
OP Development/Concept Plan Submittal
Preliminary Plat Submittal
Dear Mr. Dillerud:
Suite 345N
2550 University Avenue West
St, Paul, Minnesota
55114
On behalf of the Lakewood Evangelical Free Church (LEFC), Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. (KHA) is submitting an OP Development/ Concept Plan and a
preliminary plat submittal for your review and approval. As you are aware, LEFC
owns 108 acres of property within the City of Lake Elmo. The property is "L-
shaped" bounded by Trunk Highway (TH) 36 on the north, Keats Avenue on the
west, and rural residential (but largely undeveloped) on the east and south. A
portion of the west property abuts rural residential developed lots.
The OP Development/Concept Plan shows the entire 108.62 acres and is divided
into three parcels. Parcel A is a 20 acre parcel that we are requesting a rezoning
from the current rural residential (RR) to public facility (PF). The LEFC building
would be constructed on this parcel. Lake Elmo City zoning ordinances provide
that a church is a permitted use within the PF zoning, and will be in the fonn of a
conditional use permit (CUP) concurrent with a zoning change. Parcel B is a
48.62 acre parcel that we are requesting a CUP for an OP development within the
current RR zoning. Parcel C is a 40 acre parcel that we are requesting be
maintained at the current RR zoning with the existing farmhouse to remain.
We have provided the following information for each parcel below:
Parcel A
Concurrent with the OP development/concept plan, LEFC is requesting approval
of a preliminary plat application for Parcel A. The application request includes a
rezoning to PF along with the approval of a CUP for the construction of a 672-
seat sanctuary facility with approximately 52,300 square feet of total floor area on

two levels. The PF zoning requires a minimum of one parking space per 4 seats
(Chapter 3, Section 300.07.4M Subd 5.b1). This would equate to 150 parking
stalls. However, based on existing use at their current facilities and other church
facilities completed in the Twin Cities area over the past several years, a parking
ratio close to 1 space per 2 seats is proposed. We have shown a total of 292
parlcing stalls.
According to the zoning code, a parcel area of up to 20 acres is required to have a
buffer width of 150 feet and maximum impervious site coverage of 35 percent
(Chapter 3, Section 300.07.4M Subd 4). Section 300.07.4M Subd 5.d indicates
that the buffer is not applied to property lines abutting public streets. Therefore,
the 150-foot buffer is shown on the east side of the property. The north side of
the property abuts a 225-foot wide transmission easement and therefore no
structures can be placed in that area. Because of this, the proposed church layout
shows a 10-foot parking setback (Section 300.13 Subd 6.A.10.d and e). The
south and west sides of the church parcel abut public streets and a 30-foot parking
setback is shown in those areas.
The site plan identifies landscape islands within the parking area to accommodate
the potential design of a rainwater garden as well as meet the requirements of
Section 300.13 Subd 6.B.6.a related to a minimum landscape area of 10 percent of
the interior parking space. A complete landscape plan along with an estimate of
the landscape material costs for your review. In addition, a site lighting plan with
point to point photometrics has been provided for the church site.
We have included building elevations and a floor plan of the proposed church
facility to provide a breakdown of the use and architecture considered for this
building.
Parcel B
Parcel B is proposed to be developed as an OP residential development. (Parcel B
is designated as Outlot A in the preliminary plat submittal.) Parcel B has 46.58
net buildable acres (gross area less wetlands less slopes greater than 25 percent).
Of this net area, 53 percent is proposed to be designated as preserved open space
(meeting the requirement of a minimum of 50 percent identified in Section 3.00.06
Subd 1.B). Based on a density of 16 units per 40 acres, the conceptual plan
identifies 18 residential lots (46.81 acres/2.5 units per acre equals 18.72 units).
The plan reflects a buffer zone on the west and south property line of 200 feet in
accordance with Section 300.06 Subd 2.E.1. A buffer zone of 100 feet is shown
on the east property line since the proposed OP development abuts lands that
could be eligible for future OP development (Again in accordance with the above
11, Kimley-Horn
and Associates, Inc,
Mr. Chuck Dillerud

reference code). The north boundary abuts a public street. The boundary of
Parcel B connects all the way over to Keats Avenue to provide the opportunity for
an internal trail system to connect from the development to Keats Avenue.
The residential development will consist of two "villages". It is the intention of
the development that each village will have a different architectural character.
The homes will be 3-4 bedroom homes consistent in the style and size of other
homes currently being constructed within the City of Lake Elmo.
Parcel C
Parcel C is proposed to remain as is with the existing farmhouse on the parcel.
(Parcel C is designated as Outlots B and C in the preliminary plat.) This parcel
will be bisected by the public street connecting from Keats Avenue to the church
parcel then continuing south to the Parcel B boundary. The roadway is designed
to allow the extension to the east if Mn/DOT and the City of Lake Elmo desired a
frontage road to parallel TH 36 and to form an intersection with the residential
road west of Keats Avenue.
Other Issues
Wastewater System
Parcel A and B will be served by a community wastewater system. North
American Wetland Engineering, P.A. (NAWE) performed field investigation to
determine the applicability of the use of a community wastewater system. The
design flow was based on two factors: a residential component assuming the 18
lots in Parcel B plus the church facility for Parcel A. It was assumed for a
preliminary basis to utilize the maximum flow allowed by code (Section
300.07.4M Subd 2.b.2 and 3) of 5,000 gallons per day. The system also assumed
the potential of use from Parcel C for land sizing purposes only. The
recommended wastewater treatment system is a vertical flow wetland with
infiltration beds. An equalization tank is also recommended to reduce the variable
loading from the church due to cyclical use of the facility. Disposal will be
handled through an at -grade infiltration bed system.
Water System
LEFC will be served by a water well to provide domestic and fire protection. A
storage tank will be required to provide sufficient fire protection storage for a
sprinkler system. The residential development will be supplied by individual
wells.

Storm Sewer
Mr, Chuck Di]lerud
February 4, 2005
Page 4 of 5
The overall site comprises 10 small wetland areas. These areas were delineated
by NAWE in October 2003 and have been agreed upon with the Valley Branch
Watershed District Storm water will be treated prior to any discharge to the
existing wetlands. LEFC has obtained a permit from the Valley Branch
Watershed District (VBWD). A copy of the permit is attached to this application,
The storm sewer analysis has addressed the City of Lake Elmo previous concerns
regarding flood plain storage. It should be noted that the site does not contain any
FEMA floodplain area, but rather ground depressions that are landlocked that
hold stonnwater in storm events.
The church site will have a storm water treatment pond along the north side of the
site. In addition to this pond, there is the possibility to design a rainwater garden
to treat water from the parking lot area prior to discharge. This information will
be developed during the final design stage.
Homeowner's Association
It is the intention of LEFC to have a homeowner's association (HOA) developed
that would be responsible for the preserved open space identified in Parcel B.
Further the HOA will be responsible to enforce architectural guidelines for the
residential development. The HOA will be responsible in perpetuity for the
maintenance, repairs and replacement of the open space and community septic
system. The HOA will have a set of architectural guidelines that will consider
building materials, common architectural themes, ancillary structures, landscape
guidelines, etc to ensure that this development will be a jewel within the City of
Lake Elrno.
Staging Plan
It is the intention of LEFC to corrunence construction in summer 2005 with
completion within one year. Concurrent with the church construction, it is
anticipated that the westerly "village" of residential homes within Parcel B will be
developed in 2005 with the easterly "village" completed by 2007.
Historical Preservation Plan
LEFC does not intend to make any current improvements on the existing farm
structures within Parcel C. Parcel C will remain "as is" at this time.

Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use & Zoning No. 9B
enda Item: Minor Subdivision/Site Plan and Zoning Variance - Lynsky (Brookman 3rd Add.)
ground Information for March 15. 2005:
At its meeting February 14, 2005 the Planning Connnission adopted a recommendation (6-2, Roth and
Deziel opposed) for denial of the applications for Minor Subdivision and Section 520 Site Plan that are
proposed by the applicant to allow construction of a 10,000 square foot office building on 39th Street North
(across the street from the Lake Elmo Bank). The denial recommendation focused on two aspects of the Site
Plan application:
The applicant's proposal to handle wastewater with a holding tank rather than a septic
tankldrainfield. The applicant observed that some form of Public wastewater treatment is on the
horizon for this area of the City, and therefore investment in a complete private system does not
appear practical.
The applicant's desire to use asphalt shingles on a roof structure that will be visible. To accomplish
this in this case would require a zoning variance. No variance had been applied for by the applicant.
Prior to the Commission's vote on the Motion, the Chair offered the applicant's representative an
opportunity to waive the 60 day City review window to allow time to process the variance issue, but that
offer was declined. Subsequent to February 14 one of the partners, of the project has formally requested the
60 day review waiver, and a variance application will be heard by the Planning Commission on March 14,
2005. Staff has committed to the applicant to bring the applications to the City Council on March 15 - along
with the Planning Commission recommendation on the variance. We will poll the Commission on March 14
as whether they wish to modify their February 14 recommendations, depending on the variance outcome.

(Continued from Page 1 — Lynsky)
Two issues not discussed by the Commission — since both are in the Council's sole
purview — are:
1, This site is within the Old Village Development Moratorium area. If the project is
approved in all other respects, the Council will need to, by ordinance, remove this
site from the Moratorium area. The possibility of such an action is addressed by
and permitted by the ordinance that established the Moratorium. This action
should precede any approval actions regarding the Minor Subdivision, Site Plan,
Easement Vacation or Variance. Should no approval for Moratorium removal be
forthcoming from the Council all other applications should be denied on that
basis.
2. The applicant has petitioned for vacation of drainage easements along what would
become the former side property lines — should the Minor Subdivision be
approved. A City Council Hearing is required prior to any action in this regard.
New easements along the "new" property lines (after Minor Subdivision) have
been proposed by the applicant,
The order of Council actions: 1.) Moratorium; 2.) Site Plan; 3.) Variance; 4.) Minor
Subdivision, and 5.) Hearing and Easement Vacation. A Resolution denying the Site Plan
and Minor Subdivision is attached (reflecting the Commissions current recommendation).
We have also attached an Ordinance regarding the Moratorium, and a Resolution for the
easement vacation. We will bring a resolutions to the March 15 meeting that reflect the
Commission's action on the variance, and any reconsideration the Commission may give
to the Site Plan and Minor Subdivision

Minutes
M/S/P Ptacek/Sedro, To accept the minutes of January 24, 2005 as presented. VOTE: 8:0.
Minor Subdivision and Section 520 Site Plan — Lynskey
The Planner introdueed the application by Mike Lynskey and Lake Elmo Business Park Co. to
subdivide a parcel within BROO1CMAN 3RD ADDITION. The applicant proposes to take a
portion of Lot 1, Block 3 and a portion of Lot 2, Block 3 to create a new parcel, and then to
construct a 10,000 square feet office building. The applicant wishes to share a driveway with the
remaining portion of Lot 2. This will result in fewer curb cuts on the city street,
The Planner said an unusual feature of this application is the absence of a wastewater treatment
plan. The applicant is considering a holding tank until sewer arrives in the Old Village. An
office facility is a relatively Light user of water. The parking lot lighting plan appears to be
noncompliant with the code. If the poles are reduced in height, that could correct the problem.
The building surface materials appear not to meet architectural standards of the code.
The City Engineer's report arrived on Friday and was distributed to the commissioners.
Tim Freeman, Folz, Freeman, Erickson
Mr. Freeman explained that the vacation of the drainage and utility easements on the former lot
lines would be traded for easements on the outside lines of the newly created lot. There are only
two bathrooms in the building. The -applicant desires to use a holding tank and pump it until
sewer becomes available. The cost to pump is expected to be less than the cost of a drainfield
that would soon be abandoned. He said that Brookman Pond drainage calculations were based
on general business development in the Old Village. The concern of the watershed district
should be alleviated now. The driveway is located for sight distances and safety.
The Planner said he did not address stormwater in his report. If impervious surfacing is kept at
or below standards, it should not present a stormwater concern.
Commissioner Deziel said there is no policy on mandatory sewer. The Planner agreed.
Mike Diem, Archnet
Mr. Diem explained that while the building will be faced with brick, those walls will not be load
bearing. However, the bricks are a full four -inches thick. Stone accents will be for planters.
Siding will be horizontal cedar lap. They would like to use asphalt timberline -style shingles on
the roof. They would be interested in pursuing a variance if necessary, if there are any changes
recommended to the appearance of the building.
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of Febmary 14, 2005 1.
APPROVED: 2/28/05
Chairman Helwig asked the applicant whether they wanted to continue. Mr. Freeman said they
did want to continue.
Commissioner Armstrong said he is concerned about the use of a holding tank, It is not good
environmental or procedural policy based on assumptions for sewer to approve a substandard
wastewater system. He said it is a great office building but there are procedural and code issues.
Commissioner Sedro said if the commission wants to allow the GB Code to. allow asphalt
shingles, she would not object. As long as they are not permitted she will not vote to approve
them.
Commissioner Ptacek said he is torn on the bolding tank issue; it is not good policy. As for the
shingles, the commission set the standard high for the look and feel they wanted. He said he
could bend but not until the commission is directed by Council to review it.
M/S/P Armstrong/Sedro To recommend denial of the minor subdivision and Section 520 Site
Plan based upon procedural and code compliance issues. VOTE: 6:2. Roth -Could move
forward subject to requirements to not allow a holding tank and asphalt shingles only with a
variance. Deziel-Thinks it could be worked out.
Comp Plan Modifications
The Planner said we have approximately six weeks to meet number eight of the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU). Therefore, a meeting schedule has to be established. The Commission
must have a public hearing for the Planning Policy and Land Use Plan with City Council
approval by April 15, 2005, and distribution to our neighboring cities. That will be the heart of
the Comprehensive Plan modifications. After Council approval, then the map work can begin.
He said the Land Use Plan will deal principally with the area of the city south of 10th Street.
Nothing will be left to chance. That will not be completed by April 15.
A discussion regarding calendar meetings ensued. The Planner will prepare alternative draft
options of Policy and Land Use for the Commission to review. Adjustments can be made on
numbers north and south of 10th Street to meet the density requirements. Timing of growth can
be determined by the city. Sewered units expected in the region in the new Water Resources
Policy Plan are minimums:
The Planner said there are several ways to approach the staging. ' We can set a geographic line on
a map, and the line can keep moving as areas become sewered. We can create sewer sub -
districts and our Capital Improvenient Program can be set up the same way. We can approve
plats based upon numbers of building permits to be issued per year but that is a more difficult
way to manage it.
The Planner said that whatever is planned south of 10th Street must be planned in consideration
of what will be done north of 10th Street. Policy statement alternatives will have to deal with
existing developments south of 10th to prevent negative impact to those developments. The
planner said he will structure these items with options. The Policy Statement is basically intact,
and little will have to be changed.
The Administrator said one consideration that came up in a work session with the City Council is
recognizing there is a limited amount of time to accomplish this task. The Council is holding a
Lake Mmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 14, 2005 2
APPROVED: 2/28/05
workshop on February 15 to help formulate policy. They will turn it into a document for the
Planning Commission to consider as the new policy is drafted.
The Planner said that implementation will not be dealt with until the Comprehensive Plan is
submitted. Then zoning will be the issue.
The Planner said there is one component important to the Comprehensive Plan and that is fiscal
impact. Existing factors such as the miles of streets, acres of parks, population, service levels of
police, fire, etc., all increase the figures. Cities that did not plan for this type of fiscal impact are
in the top ten of municipal tax rates because they allowed more development than they could
afford. If we do not want existing Lake Elmo residents subsidize new Lake Elmo residents then
we should perform a fiscal analysis to prove the policy we establish.
Commissioner Deziel asked if our analysis projects an increased cost to existing residents, how
can that be mitigated.
The Planner said by reducing services and increasing revenue through tax base adjustments.
Commercial/Industrial has a higher tax rate than Residential. A city gains with C/I because
services rendered are fewer.
City Council Update
The Planner reported that Eagle Pointe Business Park and City and County Credit Union were
tabled for Council Committee where they will discuss square footage and asphalt shingles, they
will finish tomorrow night. He said the draft Trails Master Plan Open House is set for February
16, 2005. The Trails Plan will be applicable to our new Comprehensive Plan.
The Administrator said that a Planning and Parks Commission Appointment Process Ordinance
has been created by recommendation of Council Committee. He said the major change is that
commission appointment's will follow the individual. Two three year terms are allowed, and an
additional term will be considered in conjunction with the applicant pool. Three sixty day
appointments are still on hold. The Council will address the appointments process after the
ordinance is passed. The process for appointments will be establishing a time and date for
interviews conducted by the City Council.
Chairman I-lelwig said we need those three commissioners as soon as possible. He urged that it
be considered a top priority.
The Planner announced the resignation of Commissioner Pelletier.
Commissioner Sedro said her understanding of state statutes is that planning commissioners are
not to be political appointments. She asked for the criteria. The Council used to take applicants
in the order they applied.
The Administrator said the plan now is to interview all applicants. Policy has changed from time
to time. With the new ordinance, level of experience will be a consideration. If we lose more
than 50% of experience in a given year, the City Council can adjust the terms. There are no term
limits, just a consideration after two terms, allowing more community involvement.
Mayor Johnston said the intention was no term limits. After two terms, a commissioner will just
pool with the rest of the candidates. The first two terms are essentially automatic.
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of February 14, 2005
APPROVED: 2J28/05
Commissioner Armstrong said this is not a radical departure from the past. Commissioners serve
. at the pleasure of the Council,
Commissioner Deziel said he would hope they will keep current commissioners at this crucial
time.
Commissioner Ptacek asked if the three commissioners whose appointments are pending are to
be interviewed again.
The Administrator said that one will be appointed to his three-year term, two will be put back in
the pool with other applicants because they have served longer than six years.
Chairman Helwig asked the Planner what happened to the commission's request for a Public
Hearing to add Home Occupations in the Rural Residential Zoning District for a public hearing
to add it as a use into Rural Residential.
The Planner said he will pick it up again; it was overlooked.

Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes oFebmary 14,20054
LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
Date: February 10, 2005, 2005 for the Meeting of February 14, 2005
Applicant: Mike Lynsky (Brookman/Raleigh — Land Owners)
Location: North Side of 39th Street North, West of State Highway 5
Requested Action: Minor Subdivision and Section 520 Site Plan
Land Use Plan Guiding: C (Commercial)
Existing Zoning: GB (General Business)
Site History and Existing Conditions:
The site is a portion of the Brookman 3rd Addition which was platted in the late 1980's. At that
time 39th Street North and City water mains were constructed by the developer to serve the area.
The lots of the Brookman 3rd Addition were platted with Lots 1 and 2 of Block 3 at 5.1 acres and
6.6 acres respectively, and remain vacant. The GB minimum lot area is 1.5 acres today, and was in
the late 1980's as well. Redivision of those parcels to accommodate future buyers' needs was
likely anticipated with the original platting.
The site is also a portion of the Village North PUD Concept Plan, which was tabled with the
applicant's concurrence on April 14, 2003 pending completion of the Old Village Neighborhood
Design Study. While the site plan and lot configuration coincide with the tabled PUD Concept
Plan, that application (the PUD application) remains on the table; and the entire Village North site
(including the subject area) remains subject to a City Council Development Moratorium which
remains in force on its face until October 12, 2005 — unless earlier repealed or modified by the
City Council.
Paragraph H of the Old Village Moratorium Ordinance provides that the City Council may at any
time amend to remove specific parcels. This subject Minor Subdivision and Section 520 Site Plan
application implies that the Council will be requested to do so. It is far preferable for such a
request to come to the City Council accompanied by a plan for the parcel proposed to be removed
from the Moratorium — such as the applicant is providing by this application.. Should the City
Council first decide not to remove this subject parcel from the Moratorium, these applications will
be tabled as well.
Discussion and Analysis:
The applicant proposes to, by Minor Subdivision, create a 1.6 acre parcel (GB minimum area is
1.5 acres) made up of portions of Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 3, Brookman 311 Addition. The
remainders of Lots 1 and 2 (as metes/bounds descriptions following this action) would be 4.83
acres and 5.28 acres, respectively. The parcel proposed to be created, as well as the remainder
parcels all would comply with GB dimensional standards. A $1,500 Park Dedication fee would be
payable to the City based on the creation of one new parcel.
Review of the Section 520 Site Plan for compliance with GB and other applicable City Code
standards reveals the following:
I. The applicant has not specified how wastewater from the project will be handled. The
applicant has been notified of this issue previously.
2. The applicant proposes a shared curb cut with the property adjoining to the west. While the
City Code does not address such an access arrangement directly, the Code does provide for
"Joint Parking Facilities" in commercial zone. Public street access to parking has been
considered to be included in that provision — subject to proper cross easement documents.
It is in the Public interest to reduce the number of private access points onto Public streets.
3. The architectural details of the exterior wall surfacing appear to specify "face brick",
"cedar", "face brick veneer w/accent bands", and "stone" in various locations. It is unclear
from the drawings submitted exactly what "face brick veneer /w accent bands" really is,
and whether the proposed use of that material complies with GB architectural standards
that specifically preclude the use of "artificial or veneer brick" as the primary exterior
surfacing.
4. The applicant proposes the use of "architectural grade asphalt shingles". The GB
architectural standards do not include asphalt shingles (regardless of grade) among the
roofing materials that are permitted as "Visible Roofing Materials".
5. The Site Lighting Plan appears to forecast foot candle lighting levels in excess of levels
specified by the City Code for areas beyond a 20 foot radius from the light source. Since
no specific light fixture specifications are provided, we are assuming that a maximum of
1.5 foot candles is permitted. The exterior lighting plan should be relamped or otherwise
redesigned to comply with the Code — or fixture specifications should be provided that
would permit a less restrictive standard.
6. The exterior lighting fixtures are proposed to be located 27 feet above the parking lot
surface (25 foot poles on 2 foot pedestals). Since no specific fixture specifications are
provided we are assuming that the maximum allowable total fixture height is 20 feet. The
fixture height deviation from Code standards may contribute to the lighting intensity
deviation noted in #5.
This site is not a component of an approved PUD. Therefore, any departure from the GB
architectural standards can only be as an approved zoning variance. No variances have been
applied for, and no variance hearing has been Noticed or scheduled as of now. Should the
applicant decide to continue with proposed plans for exterior surfacing (depending on what the
"face brick veneer" is found to be), and with the proposed asphalt shingles, a variance application
will be necessary, and a properly Notice Public Hearing scheduled prior to final actions regarding
the Minor Subdivision and Section 520 Site Plan. That hearing could be conducted at the City
Council level if found to be necessary. If that becomes the strategy adopted, the Planning
Commission should include its recommendations as to the variance(s) along the Minor
Subdivision and Section 520 Site Plan recommendations.
Findings and Recommendations:
Staff finds that the proposed Minor Subdivision complies with both Chapter 400 standards and
General Business District standards for division of property. Staff also finds that the Section 520
Site Plan generally complies with General Business Districts and other City Code Standards,
except as noted previously. Most of the compliance issues noted above could be addressed by the
applicant with plan modifications, and that is what we recommend.
Should the applicant decide to continue with proposed plans for exterior surfacing (depending on
what the "face brick veneer" is found to be), and with the proposed asphalt shingles, a variance
application will be necessary, and a properly Notice Public Hearing scheduled prior to final
actions regarding the Minor Subdivision and Section 520 Site Plan. That hearing could be
conducted at the City Council level if found to be necessary. If that becomes the strategy adopted,
the Planning Commission should include its recommendations as to the variance(s) along the
Minor Subdivision and Section 520 Site Plan recommendations.
Planning Commission Actions Requested:
The initial set of plans for this project were received by the City on January 3, 2005. Staff advised
the applicant that those plans implied numerous variances from City Code standards — in addition
to those noted here. The applicant agreed to submit a revised plan set before these applications
were submitted to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation. Technically, that
decision by the applicant rendered the applications "incomplete for processing", and the City's 60
day review period was extended until the new plan set was submitted.
Even considering the foregoing instance of "incomplete plans", staff is presenting the application
to the Commission now to insure completion of City review at the March 1 City Council meeting
— in compliance with the 60 day review "window". Unless the applicant specifically requests
tabling of the applications, the Commission should adopt recommendations to the City Council
regarding the Minor Subdivision, the Section 520 Site Plan, and any zoning variances the
applicant continues to request - including Findings with regard to the zoning variance
recommendations. Note that the exterior lighting standards are not a part of the zoning ordinance.
Therefore no variance from those standards can be addressed.

City Council
March 15, 2005
Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use & Zoning No. 9C
AgendaAgendaltem: Conditional Use Permit, Variance and Section 520 Site Plan - City of Lake Elmo
Background Information for March 15, 2005:
On March 14, 2005 the Planning Commission will conclude the required Public Hearings and (hopefully)
complete a recommendation to the City Council regarding these applications to construct an 11,000 square
foot Public Works/Park Maintenance building and a 500,000 gallon water storage tank on a 20 acre site
adjacent Sunfish Park. The City Administrator has requested this matter be placed on the City Council
agenda of March 15 in anticipation of a complete Planning Commission recommendation.
The Conditional Use permit is to locate a Public Facility on a PF zoned site. The variance is to the standards
of the PF zone to allow standing seam metal exterior surfacing to retain the Rural Image of the proposed
structure.
While the application was submitted as a "package" (building and water tank), the Commission will be
requested to address each component of the application separately. The first attached Resolution is for
approval of the Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan and Variance for the Public Works/Park Maintenance
Building. The second Resolution is for approval of the Site Plan and Conditional Use permit for the water
storage tank. The Planning Commission's recommendations regarding both components will be (hopefully)
available on March 15.
Action items:
1. Motion to approve Resolution #2005 - Approving a
Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan and Variance for a
Public Works/Park Maintenance Building
2 Motion to approve Resolution #2005 - Approving a
Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan for a 500,000 gallon

LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
Date: March 10, 2005 for the Meeting of March 14, 2005
Applicant: City of Lake Elmo
Location: 10000 Stillwater Blvd.
Requested Action: Site Plan, Zoning Variance and Conditional Use Permit
Land Use Plan Guiding: PF (Public/Semi Public Facilities)
Existing Zoning: PF (Public/Semi Public Facilities
Site History and Existing Conditions:
The 19.8 acres site was acquired by the City along in the mid 1970's as a part of the land
acquisition package for Sunfish Park. While 200+ wooded acres of Sunfish Park have been slowly
developed as a passive recreation resource since the acquisition, this portion of the acquisition has
been farmed by third parties. Initially this area was farmed for cash crops by the seller without
compensation, in accordance with the sales agreement with the City. When the terms of the
agreement for rent-free farming expired, the seller declined to continue, and a third party has
rented the site for cash crop farming since that time. The site has not been used for park purposes
at any time since its acquisition by the City.
The site is generally rolling Open field, with about 20 vertical feet of topographic relief — with no
specific direction of rise/fall, Approximately 6/10 acre of the extreme north periphery of the site is
wooded.
Discussion and Analysis:
The City proposes to construct an XX,XXX square foot Public Works/Park Maintenance facility
and a 500,000 water storage tank on the site. As with any applicant on lands zoned PF, the City
will require a Conditional Use Permit as a "Facility for Local, County, or State Government". As
with all PF uses there are specific conditions included. For this type of the facility those conditions
are as follow:
. Direct access is provided to a Public street classified by the Comprehensive Plan as Major
Collector or Arterial. Via the Park Access Road (not a Public Street), the site has direct
access to State Highway 5 — an Arterial.
2. The use and location is consistent with the Community Facilities Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. The specific location of public facilities is not addressed by the
Community Facilities Element of the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. The Community
Facilities Element of the 2000-2020 Plan does very specifically address the need for
additional elevated water storage at some location (but not adjacent to any of the wells).
The Community Facilities and Staffing Report - adopted by the City Council in 2002 —
addresses the immediate need for new and expanded Public Works/Park Maintenance
Facilities for the City — again not specifying any particular site for the new facilities.
3, No use may exceed a ratio of 3.0 SAC units per 3.5 acres or 235 gallons per dav Der net
acre of land based on the design capacity of all facilities, whichever is more restrictive.
Based on the 300 square feet of office space within the proposed structure, a total of 1
SAC units would be chargeable, based on Metropolitan Council standards. Using a total of
maximum of 10 employees that may some day be located at the site, the wastewater
generation will not. exceed 38 gallons per day per net acre of the site. In both cases the
wastewater generation of the site as proposed (or even if some day expanded by several
factors) will be well below the maximum thresholds.
The Site Plan has been reviewed by Staff, both during its design, and again as finalized for this
application, The Site plan meets or exceeds all Section 520 site plan and PF zoning district
standards. In addition the site plan meets ort exceeds applicable standards of other related City
codes, Note that "utility transmission services" are exempt from any zoning ordinance height
restrictions. Production and transmission of public water is a utility, and water towers an integral
component of the service.
The variance requested is from provisions of the PF district standards regarding the exterior
surfacing of the Public Works/Park Maintenance building. The City proposes use of standing seam
metal exterior surfacing for 85% of the exterior of the structure; and stone surfacing for the
balance. The City argues that the Public Interest of preserving Rural Character is best enhanced by
use of these materials in a barn motif. The hardship is unique to this site (or any other site in the
community) by way of introducing a structure of sizable scale to a neighborhood without
imposing a "commercial" appearance.
Findings and Recommendations:
Staff fmds that the applications generally comply with the requirements of the PF district, and
other applicable City Codes. The suggested Finding1g regarding ht variance request are unusual,
reflecting the unique and non -reoccurring nature of this Public project.
Planning Commission Actions Requested:
Motions regarding a recommendation regarding the Section 520 Site Plan. PF Conditional Use
Permit, and Zoning Variance.

To: Chuck Dillerud Reference: Conditional Use Permit Site Plan
Copies To: Public Works/ Water Tower
City of Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Comm. No. 13335.000
From: Thomas Prew, P. E . Routing:
Date: March 9, 2005
We have prepared a site plan for the planned Public Works Building and Water Tower and have the
following comments:'
Roads
The site lies west of the access drivewayto the parking lot at Sunfish Lake Park. This is not a public street.
The driveway is currently topped with gravel. The Public Works Foreman would like to pave this driveway
in the future, but recommends waiting to see how it performs under the loads from larger trucks.
A driveway from the public works site to the water tower will be necessary.
Septic System
A new septic system is planned to serve the building. The set aside area is large enough for both an initial
system and a backup system. The soils atlas shows sandy loam soils at this site, which are acceptable for a
drain field. An actual site evaluation will be done by the building contractor. All septic system work will be
done according to City code.
Drinking Water
The site will draw drinking water from the watermain that serves the proposed water tower.
Surface Water
All surface water from the impervious surfaces at the Public Works site will be infiltrated to reduce the
impact to Sunfish Lake Park. The infiltration basins have sufficient volume to contain a 100-year event prior
to overtopping.
Soils under the infiltration basins are sandy loam and have a good infiltration capacity. Deep rooted native
plantings will be used to help promote infiltration within the basins.

Re: 11051 Stillwater Boulevard Addition
Dear Mr. Dillerud:
Thank you for submitting the information regarding the proposed addition at 11051 Stillwater
Boulevard. On behalf of the Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD), I have reviewed the
information and this letter provides my preliminary comments. Because the project will require a
VBWD permit, I will review the project more thoroughly once a VBWD permit application is
submitted.
Background
The project site lies within the Downs Lake watershed. Downs Lake is relatively small, with a surface
area of approximately 3.5 acres compared to its large tributary watershed of about 2,400 acres. Before
ultimately draining to Downs Lake, the site drains to a channel that conveys runoff tlu-ough the village to
a low area around Lion's Park.
Water Quality
Downs Lake is shallow and has poor water quality. The lake's average summertime Secchi
disc transparencies are usually less than 3 feet, and the average summertime total phosphorus
and chlorophyll a concentrations are typically quite high.
Water Quantity
Downs Lake has a high overflow, and there are two homes within the 100-year floodplain of
Downs Lake. Over the winter of 2002-2003, the VBWD constructed a project that will draw
floodwaters down faster after a flood, but the project will not prevent flooding. As
development in the Downs Lake watershed continues, more impervious area will be created,
which will cause the volume of stormwater runoff to increase unless infiltration techniques are
incorporated into the development. Increases in the stormwater runoff volumes reaching Downs
Lake will likely inerease the "normal" water level of Downs Lake and the chances of flooding.
Proposed Project
The proposed project involves adding about 4,000 square feet to the existing building and
reconstructing the parking lot. More than 6,000 square feet of new impervious surfaces are proposed,
and therefore, a VBWD permit is required,
Low Impact Development Techniques
Reducing impervious surfaces and encouraging infiltration practices will protect Downs Lake
(and all water bodies) from negative water quantity and quality impacts. The VBWD does
not currently require that low impact techniques be incorporated into developments, but

because the site drains to the existing floodprone area within the Old Village and eventually
to Downs Lake, incorporating low impact development techniques into the site design is
strongly encouraged.
Some low impact development techniques are being incorporated into the site. It appears that
the amount of proposed imperviousness has been limited by only proposing the minimum
number of parking stalls required by the City, by constructing each parking stall at a 90-
degree angle to the driving isle, by limiting stall dimensions to 9 feet by 18 feet, and by
minimizing the width of the accesses to the parking lot to 18 feet. An infiltration basin is
being proposed.
Additional practices that would encourage more infiltration on this site include:
• Constructing the site so that compaction in pervious areas is prevented
• Requiring loosing of soils to a depth of 24 inches to a maximum compaction of 85%
standard proctor density and tilling the upper 10 inches of soils prior to planting
• Directing roof drains to pervious areas
• Using pervious areas for snow storage
• Planting trees that at maturity will canopy over at least 50% of the impervious surfaces
• Planting deep-rooted trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and grasses in at least 25% of the project's
green space
Peak Discharge Rates
Hydrologic modeling information was submitted, but more details and supporting
documentation needs to be submitted. The applicant appears to be depending on infiltration
to control the discharge rates leaving the site. The infiltration rate assumed is 1 inch per
hour, which is high. A slower infiltration rate should be used and/or supporting
documentation that justifies that this rate will be sustainable needs to be submitted.
Water Quality Treatment
The standard stormwater management pond is not being proposed. If the infiltration basin
functions as assumed, it will provide runoff treatment. The VBWD requires skimming
devices from parking lot runoff. Pretreatment of runoff prior to it entering the infiltration
basin would greatly increase the time between needed maintenance,
Minimum Floor Elevations
The proposed minimum floor elevations appear to be at least two feet above the 100-year
flood level of the infiltration pond.
The City has recently completed modeling of' the channel adjacent to this site. The 100-year
flood level of the channel should be compared to the proposed floor elevations.
Erosion
A temporary rock construction entrance and silt fence are shown on the plans. The stability
of the riprap parking lot overflow needs to be reviewed. The outlet of the proposed
infiltration basin should be stabilized. If the flow velocities are small and if the flows can be
spread out, the erosion potential could be reduced.
Wetland Issues
The applicant will need to submit a wetland delineation report or proof that no wetlands exist on
the site. The VBWD is the Local Government Unit responsible for administrating the Wetland
Mr Chuck Diilerud

Conservation Act. The developer will need to follow all of the rules and regulations of the
Wetland Conservation Act, and submit all of the necessary documentation. The VBWD will then
review the information, forward the information to the appropriate agencies for comments, and
ensure the proposal conforms to the Wetland Conservation Act and other VBWD wetland rules
and regulations.
Permit Requirements
The proposed project will require a permit from the VBWD. The landowner should submit a complete
permit application packet to me. Permit application material can be obtained from the VBWD's website,
www.vbwd.org, or from me. Once a complete VBWD permit application is submitted, I will review
the project for conformance to the VBWD's rules and regulations, including:
• Stormwater rates
• Water quality treatment
• Flood levels and minimum floor elevations
• Wetland delineations and protection
• Erosion controls
• Potential downstream impacts
If you have any questions, please contact me at 952-832-2621

City Council
March 15, 2005
Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use & Zoning No. 91)
Agenda Item: Fields of Si. Croix ll/Little Blue Stern — Developer Improvements
Background Information for March 15. 2005:
On March 15, 2005 Staff requested direction from the Council regarding incomplete developer
improvements within the Fields of St. Croix II plat. and the pending expiration of the Letter of Credit
guaranteeing completion of those improvements. The three primary areas of incomplete work are interior
street island landscaping (a portion); the Public Park located between Fields II and Tana Ridge; and buffer
screen forestation along the plat west property line. The Council directed staff to secure an extension of the
Letter of Credit (577,500), and advise the developer (Robert Engstrom Companies) to. within 30 days,
provide the City Council with his plans and schedule to complete the work.
On February 16 staff advised the developer of the Councils February 15 action. On February 25 the City
was advised by the issuing hank that the Letter of Credit had been extended (originally to eNpire February
27). Following a reminder call the week ofMarch 7, the developer has submitted the attached letter
describing his intentions regarding the incomplete improvements. No specific schedule is mentioned,
however.
The developer has requested an amendment to the landscape island planting plan to substitute for the
"prairie grass" plan that was approved for those areas 5 years ago. It appears that the HOA has concurred in
this plan, and staff also concurs that this is a better approach than prairie grass. The developer has
contracted with a firm to re-establish the turf in the park area. It appears that this will require much of the
upcoming growing season. While no mention is made of the ball field/soccer field improvements, work had
already commenced late last year. Park Superintendent Bouthilet directed work be suspended pending
resolution of the proper location of the ball field and soccer field — per the plan approved by the Park
Commission. That resolution still needs to he accomplished.
The original forestation plan for the west border of the project is attached. As the Council can see_ Mr.
Engstrom now maintains that the original purpose for that improvement has been eliminated. It is now his
proposal to amend the landscape plan to eliminate this forestation.
Council direction regarding a specific schedule for the remaining work and the two proposed amendments
to the project landscape plan is respectfully requested.
Person responsible:
Action items:
Council motions regarding proposed OP Final Landscape Plan
amendments proposed; and, a schedule for completion of allplat
improvements and new Letter of Credit duration.

Dear Chuck,
In response to your request, attached is a letter and background from Minnesota Native
Landscapes for an action plan to complete the neighborhood park located between the
Fields of St. Croix II and Tana Ridge, As you may be aware, our original contractor
apparently developed financial problems and did not complete the improvements.
Subsequently we contracted with First Quality Fence to install the ball field backstop and
soccer posts. After setting the soccer posts. Mike Bouthilet from the city told them to
stop until he had a chance to review with a Tana Ridge homeowner. First Quality Fence
has completed several projects in Lake Elmo and are prepared to finish the project in the
spring. Minnesota Native Landscapes is one of the best firms for completing the turf
installation. They installed much of the Prairie in The Fields Il and are doing work for
The Fields Community Association and ourselves.
Regarding the Fields of St. Croix landscaping, the attached schematics illustrate the work
that was to be completed according to the larger scale exhibit previously submitted to the
City of Lake Elmo and approved by The Fields Community Association. At present the
machine moved trees 6 to l 4 feet in height that were installed last fall include:
I. Five Spruce and Norway Pines at the south end oldie north cul-de-sac island on
Lily Lane North.
2. Ten Spruce and Norway Pines at both ends of the South cul-de-sac island on
Lily Lane North,
3. Five Spruce and Norway Pines on the 44' Street North cul-de-sac island,
4. Seven machine moved deciduous Maple and Oak trees located in each of the
island Plantings, next to the city park tot lot, the sandbox on the Common Green
and a character oak in the center of the native prairie island at Little Bluestem
Circle North.

The perennial plantings will be completed this spring. The species will be changed
somewhat for salt teleran- as the city snowplowers seem to use these areas for snow
storage.
Regarding any trees along the western edge of Oudot 1, the need for trees along the edge
disappeared when we were able to acquire the Screaton property from the other
developers and their proposed road disappeared. The largo adjoining area was planted to
native prairie. We have written concurrence from the exception parcel homeowner. •
Regarding the City Engineer's punch list, the cleaning and flushing of the storm sewer at
Little Bluestein Circle North was done last fall. I believe that was the last of the items.

RE: Ball Field Establishment- Phase II
The two ball field areas on the north end ofthe fields of St. Croix second phase will be
established with usable turf and prairie areas throughout the upcoming growing season. This will
be accomplished by a combination of steps that will be implemented to improve the seedings that
have abeady been conducted.
The first step will be an early season, dormant mowing. This will clear away the previous year's
growth and allow the existing turf to show through. Shortly after the mowing, when the site
greens up, the site will be over -sprayed to eliminate all. broadleaf weeds within the turf area.
From this point, the next step will be to evaluate the area and proceed with one of two strategies.
If the areas are satisfactorily established with field turf , the areas will be monitored for weed
infestation, nutrient needs, and poorly established areas. These situations will all be rectified as
they occur. If the area is not well established, it will then be ove,rseeded or no -till seeded with an
appropriate turfgrass mix-ture. The area will also be monitored for weed infestation or fertilized if
necessary.
The non -field areas of the park will be monitored as well of weed infestation. All undesirable
species wine controlled or eradicated as is necessary for prairie enhancement.
With these steps and cooperating weather, the fields seeded in the northwest section of the Fields
of St. Croix, phase it will be ready for the use it is intended for by the enct of the Season (though
likely much sooner than that). All costs of these services will be sent as a summary.

8. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT:
A. Am -aye Design for Water Tower
The City Council agreed to place a new water storage tank in Sunfish Lake Park. The
two questions needed to be addressed was what will be the design of the tower and
exactly where it will be sited in the park.
A few residents, whose properties abut the park area, expressed concern that the water
tank would be an eyesore within the park and have potential impact on their property
values. The cost to move it as far west as possible would cost the city $30,000440,000.
This water tower would serve not only the new Tapestry development, but also serves
future neighborhoods.
M/S/P DeLapp/Johnson - to advise the property owners, located one half mile radius
from the location of the storage tank in Sunfish Lake Park, of an infoimational meeting to
discuss the design of the tower at the March 1st Council meeting. (Motion passed 5-0.)
B. Public Works Buildina,
Terry Olsen, TKDA architect, presented a drawing of the public works building
resembling a barn and showing the pitch roof was eliminated and an updated floor plan.
Council member DeLapp asked that the barn door and the cupola be made a little larger.
The Public Works Supervisor stated he has been involved in the planning stage and
approved the design proposal.
M/S/P Johnson/DeLapp - to authorize TKDA to create plans and specifications for the
Public Works building, as presented, (Motion passed 5-0.)
9. PLANNING. LAND USE & ZONING:
A. Letter of Credit — Fields II and Little Bluestem
The Planner advised the Council that the City Park improvements required to be
constructed by Robert Engstrom Companies as a condition of approval for the Fields of
St. Croix II and Tana Ridge plats have not been completed as of this date. The most
significant improvement incomplete is the City Park that lies between Fields II and Tana
Ridge. That park was to have been constructed by the developer per plans approved by
the Park Commission as satisfaction of the Park Dedication requirements for Fields II,
Little Bluestein and Tana Ridge, In addition, the developer -installed landscaping within
the plat remains short of that of the approved landscape plan, and there may be
infrastructure "punch list" items to be completed as well.
The Planner requested direction from the Council whether the City should present a sight
draft in the full amount of Letter of Credit #1804 (on or before February 27, 2005) and
utilize the funds to complete the required improvements within the plat, or approve
renewal of the Letter of Credit.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 2005 4
The most recent Letter of Credit renewal/extension expire on February 27, 2005. The
development agreement between Robert Engstrom Companies and the City specifies that
all public infrastructure and landscape improvements within the Fields of St. Croix 2nd
Addition were to be completed by September, 2000,
M/S/P Johnson/DeLapp - to notify Robert Engstrom Companies that it may renew the
subject Letter of Credit in the full amount for not more than 30 days (i.e. to March 27,
2005.) During that 30 day period Robert Engstrom Companies must present to the
Council both complete plans for project improvements that remain incomplete (primarily
the park and project landscaping), and a detailed schedule for the completion of those
improvements. A council decision regarding further extension of the Letter of Credit will
be based on their approval of the plans and schedule presented. Any plans/schedules
presented by the developer must be on one of the March 1st or March 15 city council
agendas. (Motion passed 5-0).
If the lender does not approve a 30-day extension of Letter of Credit #1804 at the close of
business on February 25, 2005, the City will present the lender with a Sight Draft for the
full amount of the Letter of Credit.
B. Resolution 2005-018, Met Council Draft Water Resources Plan
The City Planner reported the Metropolitan Council is considering a draft of their Water
Resources Policy Plan as is required every 10 years by State Statute, The draft plan
covers Regional Policy regarding Waste Water (Sewers), Storm/Surface Water and Water
Supply. On February 8, the Public Works Council Committee reviewed the proposed
City comments on the draft plan that had been prepared by staff and directed that those
corrunents be incorporated into a resolution for City Council consideration. A draft
Resolution was submitted for approval.
M/S/P Johnson/Smith - to adopt Resolution No, 2005-018 offering City Council
comments on the Metropolitan Council Draft Water Resources Plan. (Motion passed 5-
0).
C. Street Naming Ordinance
At their February 8 meeting, the Council's Public Health and Safety Committee directed
staff to draft Council action that would reintroduce a uniform street naming system
within the City that follows the general pattern (Alphabetical west -to -east) of the 1971
Agreement, but which also allows some street naming latitude as long as the alphabetical
range is adhered to. This reintroduction of the uniform street naming system was brought
to the City's attention by the Lake Elmo Fire Department and the Washington County
Sheriff s Department.
M/S/P DeLapp/Smith — to adopt Ordinance No 97-149, A Uniform Street Naming And
Numbering System. (Motion passed 5-0.)

Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use & Zoning No. 9E
Agenda Item: Capital Improvements ProElam Amendment — Street Improvements
Background Information for March 15, 2005:
On March 14, 2005 the Planning Commission will conduct a Public Hearing to consider amendment to the
2005-2009 City Capital Improvements Program regarding the staging of street overlay projects in 2005-
2006; and, make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the proposed amendment. This
amendment has been proposed by staff as the result of tests that have been completed on Hilltop Avenue
that have revealed a base of sufficient capacity to eliminate the need to reconstruct the street (as assumed
would be required). A mill/overlay project will extend the life of the street significantly. That finding results
in Infrastructure Reserve funds being "freed up". That would enable the City to unde e other critical (for
the life of the streets) overlay projects that had been delayed for lack of financial resources due to the
immense cost of what we assumed to be a Hilltop reconstruction. We have attached the material that the
Planning Commission will be reviewing on March 14, and we will have their recommendation available
March 15.
Action items: 02-3

MEMO
(March 8, 2005 for the Meeting of March 14, 2005)
To: Lake Elmo P1. g Coimnission
From: Ch
Subject: Amendments to the 2005-2009 Capital Improvements Program
The City has a detailed street seal coat, overlay and reconstruction program that was
prepared and is maintained by the City Engineer. We are programmed out well into the
future as to what streets need what work in what year. The annual 5 Year Capital
Improvements Program (CIP) includes as much of the Street Improvement Program as
available financing will permit. As the City Engineer progresses with
preparations/investigations for forthcoming projects we occasionally find circumstances
that change the type of\ scale of street improvement required.
For several years we have assumed that Hilltop Avenue is in so deteriorated a condition
that a complete reconstruction would be required — as was done with Hill Trail last year.
Borings of the road bed completed by the City Engineer last fall reveal, however, that the
road base is sound. This has resulted in the Engineer's recommendation that Hilltop be
over-layed rather than reconstructed.
The very costly project to reconstruct Hilltop ($418,521) has become a fax less costly
($95,000) project as an overlay. That savings, and a proposed infusion of $186,000
addition to the Infrastructure Reserve Account (basically streets) form the General Fund
Surplus results in the financial ability to accelerate several overlay projects (including
Hilltop, Irish, Ironwood Trail, 27th Street, 28th Street, and 27th Court) from 2006 to 2005.
The sooner the City can do these overlays, the sooner the residents will have a new
surface, and the longer the City has before reconstruction will be required.
This proposed CIP amendment is to make the adjustments required to accomplish the
above street project schedule. As the Commission is aware, annual CIP's are considered
by Statute to be Comprehensive Plan element. As such any amendments to a CIP are
processed in the same manner as any other Comp Plan amendment — Hearing by the
Planning Commission, and adoption by the City Council. Staff recommends these
amendments to the CIP be approved.

As requested, I reviewed the costs estimates for street work in 2005 that we prepared last fall for the City's
five-year CIP.

department has received numerous calls about the condition of the street,
For the Tablyn Park neighborhood we estimate $135,000 to perfoiin the same work as listed above.
Both neighborhoods are R-1 zoning and would have a recommended assessment of

Dear Marty:
I have reviewed the City's file relating to the Sunfish Park property and the following recorded
documents which collectively describe the property included within the boundaries of Sunfish
Park:
1 Warranty Deed of Friedrich -Lake Elmo, dated December 30, 1974, recorded as
Document No. 329984 on December 31, 1974.
2. Warranty Deed of Beaubien-Lake Elmo, dated December 31 1974, recorded as
Document No. 329980 on December 31, 1974.
Warranty Deed of Nippoldt-Lake Elmo, dated December 31, 1974, recorded as
Document No. 329985 on December 31, 1974.
4. Certificate of Title No. 22102 issued to the City of Lake Elmo on September 9, 1975,
All of the documents which were recorded indicate that the City of Lake Elmo owns the Sunfish
Pat* property free and clear of Hens, encumbrances and restrictions, except for an l'ISP
easement over a portion of the property and some common a s easements over the road
that leads from Stillwater Boulevard to the main portion of the park.
The property appears to have been purchased with the proceeds of a general obligation bond.
I have not reviewed the bond documents, i have been advised that the bond issue has been
retired. Typically bond covenants are designed to ensure that bond payments are made in a
timely manner and do not include property use restrictions.

Based upon the information that I have reviewed, it is my opinion that the City of Lake Limo
owns fee title to the Sunfish Park property. The City is not legally restricted in its use of the
Sunfish Park property provided that it is used for a public purpose,
if you have any questions, please contact me.
Very truly yours,
