MOTION as part of the Consent Agenda
AGENDA ITEM: 2010 Crack Seal Project — Consideration of Quotes and Awarding a
Contract
Ryan Stempski, Assistant City Engineer
Bruce A Messelt, City Administrato
SUBMITTED BY:
THROUGH:
REVIEWED BY:
Tom Bouthilet, Finance Director
Mike Bouthilet, Public Works Superintendent
Jack Griffin, City Engineer
1,1
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The Council is respectfully requested to accept
the quotes and award a contract for the 2010 Crack Seal Project. Please see the attached 2010
Crack Sealing Project map for the streets that will be crack sealed with this project and
subsequently seal coated next year; for a combined recommended maintenance construction
budget of S100,000. No specific motion is needed, as this is recommended to be part of the
overall approval of the Consent Agenda.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Works and City Engineering staff jointly
develops and maintain an annual street maintenance program (see the attached Street
Maintenance Program map). A five year program was developed a few years back
recommending an average annual budget in the amount of $125,000 to cover routine crack
sealing and seal coat treatments. Each year, Public Works and Engineering staff review the
maintenance plan to verify the plan recommendations and priorities for the upcoming year.
Last year, the crack seal and seal coat treatments for each street segment were applied in separate
construction seasons to improve the overall results. Best pavement management practices have
been established that require the crack sealing to be placed one construction season in advance of
the seal coat treatment. This allows the crack sealing to fully adhere to the pavement surfaces
prior to the sealcoat cover. This practice also allows the Public Works staff to perform minor
patching and leveling to streets prior to seal coating.
STAFF/FINANCE REPORT: The draft 2011 budget, approved by the City Council on
September 7, 2010, has recommended a $100,000 street maintenance budget for due to the
-- page 1 --

October 5th, 2010 Consent Agenda Item # 4
economic conditions and the need to reduce costs. Therefore a few street segments, originally
planned for maintenance in 2011, have been removed from the recommended project based upon
staff review, The streets that have been deferred include 15th Street from Inwood Avenue to West
City Limits, 9th Street North, Jasmine Avenue Place North, and Julep Court North.
Quotes were received on September 29, 2010. Four competitive quotes were received. The
lowest responsible quote was submitted by Gopher State Sealcoat, Inc. for the total amount of
$12,420.00. This equates to $1.38 per pound of crack sealant material which is a competitive
price based on similar projects. Funds for the 2010 Crack Seal Project, and subsequently for the
2011 Seal Coat project would be paid from the Infrastructure Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above information, it is recommended that the City
Council accept the quotes and award the contract for the 2010 Crack Seal Project in the amount
of $12,420.00 as part of tonight's Consent Agenda
Alternatively, the City Council does have the authority to remove this item from the Consent
Agenda, table this item for future consideration, or further discuss and deliberation prior to
taking action. If the latter is done so, the appropriate action of the Council following such
discussion would be:
"Move to Award a Contract for the 2010 Crack Seal Project to Gopher State Sealcoat, Inc.
in the amount of $12,420 /as amended and/or modified at tonight's meeting]."

DATE: 10/05/2010
CONSENT
ITEM #: 5a
MOTION as part of the Consent Agenda
AGENDA ITEM: 2011 Street and Water Quality Improvements— Authorization for
Geotechnical Services
SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stempski, Assistant City Engineer
THROUGH: Bruce A. Messelt, City Administrato
REVIEWED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
Tom Bouthilet, Finance Director
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: In order to provide a complete Engineering
Recommendation for the 2011 Street and Water Quality Improvements Feasibility Report,
including the most feasible course of action, a geotechnical evaluation (soil borings) must be
obtained to determine the subsurface condition of the roadway. To undertake this, the
recommended motion to act on this is as follows:
"Move to Authorize American Engineering Testing, inc. to Perform Geotechnical Services fo
the 2011 Street and Water Quality Improvements in the Amount of $5,600."
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Conduct of the 2011 Street arid Water Quality
Improvements Feasibility Report was authorized at the September 21, 2010 City Council
meeting. Tonight's action is part of the undertaking of this Report. Of note: Pursuant to the
City Council direction from September 21st, proceeding beyond completion of this report is
dependent upon City Council consideration and direction regarding an upcoming report from the
Assessment Subcommittee. The next meeting of the Subcommittee is scheduled for October 5th;
with a verbal update scheduled to be provided at tonight's City Council meeting.
STAFF REPORT: Geotechnical services are necessary at this time to obtain the existing in
place subsurface conditions within the project limits so that a preliminary project scoping study
can be completed. The scoping study is necessary to evaluate if a lower cost reclaim
improvement is feasible or if a more expensive full reconstruction of the street base is required.
-- page 1 —
City Council Meeting 2011 Street & Water Quality Improvements - Authorization for Geotechnical Services
October 5th, 2010 Consent Agenda Item # 5a
To obtain the necessary subsurface investigation, 9 flight auger test borings to a depth of 4 'A feet
and 6 standard penetration test borings to a depth of 11 feet are proposed. The standard
penetration tests are needed to assist in the evaluation of the soil infiltration rates for potential
stormwater quality improvements. The scope of services is further detailed in the attached
Proposal provided by AET, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $5,600. The geoteclinical services
will be funded out of the Infrastructure Reserve Fund.
RECOIVIMENDATION: Based upon the above information, it is recommended that the City
Council approve, as part of tonight's Consent Agenda, Authorization for Geotechrtical Services
for the 2011 Street and Water Quality Improvements,
Alternatively, the City Council does have the authority to remove this item from the Consent
Agenda, table this item for future consideration, or further discuss, deliberate and amend the
recommended action, if appropriate prior to taking action. If the latter is done so, the appropriate
action of the Council following such discussion would be:
"Move to Authorize American Engineering Testing, Inc. to Perform Geotechnical Services for
the 2011 Street and Water Quality Improvements in the Amount of $5,600, as discussed and
amended at tonight's meeting]."

• MATERIALS
• FORENSICS
Per your September 24 e-mail request and our follow-up discussion, we are submitting this
proposal to conduct the following scope:
Scope;
Fieldwork
• Drill and sample 9 flight auger test borings to depths of 4V2 feet on the existing streets.
• Drill and sample 6 standard penetration test borings to depths of 11 feet on the existing
streets. These deeper borings are intended to assist evaluation of infiltration potential in
addition to street evaluation.
• Clear underground public utilities through the Gopher State One Call system.
• Measure in -place bituminous and apparent aggregate base thicknesses,
• Measure and document the boring locations. No measuring of the surface elevations is
planned.
Laboratory
• Classify the soils per the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
• Conduct water content tests on cohesive samples retrieved.
• Conduct unit price soil index testing ($352 unit price budget, allowing for 4 sieve
analysis tests).
Report
• Logs of the test borings, including pavement thicknesses and lab test results.
• Descriptions of the drilling, sampling, testing, and classification methods.
• Review of soil and groundwater conditions encountered.
• Estimates of soil infiltration values based on USCS soil types.
• Geotechnical opinions/recommendations pertaining to the planned street improvements
including estimate of subgrade R-value,

AGENDA ITEM: 2011 Municipal State Aid Improvements— Authorization for Geotechnical
Services
SUBMITTED BY:
THROUGH: Bruce A. Messelt, City Administrato
REVIEWED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
Tom Bouthilet, Finance Director
Ryan Stempski, Assistant City Engineer
SUMMARY AND ACTIONREQUESTED: In order to provide a complete Engineering
Recommendation for the 2011 Street and Water Quality Improvements Feasibility Report,
including the most feasible course of action, a geotechnical evaluation (soil borings) must be
obtained to determine the subsurface condition of the roadway. To undertake this, the
reconrunended motion to act on this is as follows:
"Move to Authorize American Engineering Testing, Inc. to Perform Geotechnical Services
for the 2011 Municipal State Aid Improvements in the Amount of $4,500."
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Conduct of the 2011 Municipal State Aid Improvements
Feasibility Report was authorized at the September 21, 2010 City Council Meeting. Tonight's
action is part of the undertaking of this Report. Of note: Pursuant to the City Council direction
from September 21st, proceeding beyond completion of this report is dependent upon City
Council consideration and direction regarding an upcoming report from the Assessment
Subcommittee. The next meeting of the Subcommittee is scheduled for October 5th; with a
verbal update scheduled to be provided at tonight's City Council meeting.
STAFF REPORT: Geotechnical services are necessary at this time to obtain the existing in
place subsurface conditions within the project limits so that a preliminary project scoping study
can be completed. The scoping study is necessary to evaluate if a lower cost technology is
feasible or if a more expensive full reconstruction of the street base is required.

ITEM #: 6
MOTION As part of Consent Agenda
AGENDA ITEM: 2010-2014 Capital hnprovement Program (CIP) Programming Adjustment
SUBMITTED BY: Maintenance Advisory Commission
Mike Bouthilet, Public works Director
Greg Malmquist, Fire Chief
THROUGH: Bruce A. Messelt, City Administrato
REVIEWED BY: Tom Bouthilet, Finance Director
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested a act
upon Budget Adjustment 2010-006; a proposed 2010-2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
programming adjustment, as recommended by the Maintenance Advisory Commission (MAC),
for reprogramming scheduled vehicle replacement, based upon the recent catastrophic failure of
Fire Department's Duty Car. No specific motion is needed, as this is recommended to be part of
the overall approval of the Consent Agenda.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In December, 2009, the City Council unanimously
adopted the 2010 Annual Budget and 2010-2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The
approved 5-year CIP (attached), includes a funded and scheduled 2010 vehicle replacement for
the Public Works Department for an older Pick-up Truck and scheduled 2011 vehicle
replacement for the Fire Department for its aged Duty Car.
Recently, the Duty Car suffered a catastrophic structural failure, with repair costs far exceeding
its replacement value. With the Fire Department transitioning to Duty Crews and, therefore,
regular, scheduled staffing of both Fire Stations, a second Duty Car is deemed a critical asset.
The current primary Duty Car is generally assigned to the Fire Chief but is also made available
as a Station Duty Car when the Chief is not on call or on shift.
STAFF REPORT: The Preliminary 2011 Annual and CIP Budgets do include funding for the
scheduled replacement of the Fire Duty Car. In addition, the Public Works Department's Pick-
up Truck, while antiquated, is functioning adequately for the minimal usage it receives
(primarily as a back-up vehicle and additional plow vehicle, when needed) and is not deemed a
critical asset. The Public Works Director believes replacement of this vehicle can await 2011

il
and, should additional unexpected 2011 budgetary issues arise, be re-evaluated against other
more critical asset maintenance, repair and/or procurement.
MAC RECOMMENDATION: The Maintenance Advisory Commission (MAC) unanimously
supported the recommendation of City staff to reprogram the replacement of the Fire Duty Car
to 2010 and simultaneously reprogram the replacement of the Public Works Pick-up Truck to
2011. The budgetary impact of this recommendation is $0, as both vehicle replacements were
budgeted at $35,000.
Of note, the MAC also unanimously supported the City Council's current budgetary cap of
$35,000 for replacement of the Fire Duty Car, including all necessary modifications, fit -up and
equipment installation. This action is consistent with the City Council's and Administrator's
discussion during the 2009 budget preparation that $35,000 would allow for replacement of the
current Duty Car with similar used vehicle (of higher quality) and enhancement of public safety
services through the fit -up and equipping of this Duty Car with necessary communication,
response and recovery equipment.
Preliminary research into available quality used vehicles indicates such a replacement scenario is
both doable and prudent, given overall budgetary constraints.
Finally, the MAC also unanimously supported a recommendation by City staff to update the
City's vehicle inventory and utilization data, evaluate current vehicle replacement, utilization
and assignment policies and procedures, and prepare a report regarding such for MAC
consideration and Council review and affiiination.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above background information, staff report and
recommendation of the MAC, it is recommended that the City Council approve as part of
tonight's Consent Agenda the proposed CIP Program Adjustment for Vehicle Replacement.
Alternatively, the City Council does have the authority to remove this item from the Consent
Agenda and further discuss, deliberate and, if appropriate, amend the recommended motion prior
to taking action. If done so, the appropriate action of the Council following such discussion
would be:
"Move to approve the proposed CIP Program Adjustment for Vehicle Replacement, as
Recommended by the MAC and presented land modified/amended] at tonight's meeting."

CONSENT
ITEM #: 7
MOTION As part qf Consent Agenda
AGENDA ITEM: Request for Special Assessment Deferral — James L. Fish
SUBMITTED BY: Tom Bouthilet, Finance Director
THROUGH: Bruce Messelt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Sharon Lumby, City Clerk
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
consider a Request by Mr. James L. Fish for a deferral of a 2009 Special Assessment for street
improvements. According to State Statute and City Policy, such a deferral may be considered
under specific circumstances. Based upon Mr. Fish's Application, a determination of "hardship
based upon exceptional or unusual circumstances," and pending final legal review, it is
recommended that the City Council grant a restructuring of Mr. Fish's Special Assessment from
10 years to 20 years. No specific motion is needed, as this is recommended to be part of the
overall approval of the Consent Agenda.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Under M.S. 439.193 (attached), the City Council may
consider a deferment in payment on a special assessment when the owner is 65 years of age or
older; by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make
payments; or by a person who is a member of the Minnesota National Guard or other Military
reserves ordered in to active military service for whom it would be a hardship to make payments.
In addition, any statutory City may establish guidelines for determining the existence of a
hardship and determine the existence of a disability. Lake Elmo has established just such
guidelines.
The City Council recently adopted Resolution No. 2010-39 for the 2009 Street Improvement
Final Assessment. Included on the Final Assessment was Eden Park 2nd addition, Legion Lane
N. at $1750.00 per parcel. A public hearing was conducted, without any comments received
from property owners. On August 23, 2010 the City received a Special Assessment Deferral
Application for the property located at 2267 Legion Lane N. The basis for the appeal was limited
income, social security and veterans' status.

City Council Meeting
Request for Special Assessment Deferral — James L. Fish
10/05/2010 Consent Agenda Item #7
STAFF REPORT: In evaluating Mr. Fish's application, it has been determined that, while
retired, Mr. Fish does not qualify under either the age or disability criteria, In addition, Mr. Fish
does not qualify for a deferral under the active military service hardship criteria.
As such, the only applicable statutory and City policy guidelines would be the determination of a
"hardship based upon exceptional or unusual circumstances," Mr. Fish has demonstrated a
limited monthly income based predominantly (if not solely) on Social Security and, as such, has
requested a longer repayment period and lower interest rate;
In evaluating the financial and programmatic impacts from granting such a request, City staff
believes granting of a longer repayment period — from 10 years to 20 years, based upon this
demonstration of "hardship based upon exceptional or unusual circumstances" (limited income),
may be appropriate,
However, City staff does not recommend lowering the applicable interest rate (6%) or limiting
its duration to only 10 years, so as to avoid creating likely negative accounting and equity
considerations. In addition, City management of a 20-year repayment period will result in a lost
opportunity cost equal to the application of the same interest rate over the entire 20-year period.
Also noted is that final legal review of such deferral/restructuring is pending; so any Council
action should be contingent upon this consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon Mr. Fish's Application, and a staff determination of
"hardship based upon exceptional or unusual circumstances," it is recommended that the City
Council grant a restructuring of Mr. Fish's Special Assessment from 10 years to 20 years,
pending final legal review. No specific motion is needed, as this is recommended to be part of
the overall approval of the Consent Agenda.
Alternatively, the City Council does have the authority to remove this item from the Consent
Agenda and further discuss, deliberate and, if appropriate, amend the recommended motion prior
to taking action. If done so, the appropriate action of the Council following such discussion
would be:
"Move to approve the proposed Special Assessment Deferral Application, as
recommended land modified/amended] at tonight's meeting."

435.193 HARDSHIP ASSESSMENT DEFERRAL FOR SENIORS, DISABLED, OR MILITARY PERSONS.
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, any county, statutory or home rule charter city, or
town, making a special assessment may, at its discretion, defer the payment of that assessment for any homestead
property:
(1) owned by a person 65 years of age or older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for
whom it would be a hardship to make the payments; or
(2) owned by a person who is a member of the Minnesota National Guard or other military reserves who is
ordered into active military service, as defined in section 190.05, subdivision 5b or 5c, as stated in the person's
military orders, for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments.
(b) Any county, statutory or home rule charter city, or town electing to defer special assessments shall adopt
an ordinance or resolution establishing standards and guidelines for determining the existence of a hardship and
for determining the existence of a disability, but nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the determination
of hardship on the basis of exceptional and unusual circumstances not covered by the standards and guidelines
where the determination is made in a nondiscriminatory manner and does not give the applicant an unreasonable
preference or advantage over other applicants.

Sunfish Lake Park Parking Area Improvements and Eagle Scout Park
Improvement Project Presentations
Carol Kriegler, Project Assistant
Bruce Messelt, City Administrator
Parks Commission
Ryan Sternpski, Asst. City Engineer
Rusty Schmidt, Washington Conservation District
Mike Bouthilet, Public Works Supt.
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
authorize expenditures related to Sunfish Lake Park parking area improvements and two Eagle
Scout Park Improvement Projects. The Parks Commission has unanimously supported the
proposed improvements and associated expenditures. The recommended motion to act on these
projects is as follows:
"Move to authorize expenditures related to Sunfish Lake Park Parking area improvements
and construction of two information kiosks at Demontreville Wildlife Area at a cost not to
exceed $22.440.00
BACKGROUND INFORMATION/STAFF REPORT: The parking area at Sunfish Lake
Park has a history of drainage problems and standing water in the northeast corner of the lot
following snow melt and heavy rains. The proposed solution to the problem includes 1) grading
of the parking lot in an effort to redirect parking area run-off to rain gardens and a filter area 2)
installation of a storm water pre-treatment area on the north side of the parking area for the
purpose of "filtering" the run-off prior to drainage into the adjacent woodland, 3) installation of
four rain gardens along the perimeter of the parking area with three of the gardens placed on the
south side of parking area for the purpose of reducing run-off from the entrance drive and the
sloped turf area onto the parking area, and a fourth garden located in the northeast corner of the
parking lot - accepting and treating run-off specifically from the area that has been problematic.
Interpretive signage is proposed for the purpose of educating park visitors about rain gardens, the
adjacent prairie restoration project and possibly some history about park. The purpose of the
prairie and ram garden interpretive signage will be to communicate the benefits both of these
-- page 1 --
City Council Meeting S.F.L.P Parking Area Improvements and Eagle Scout Projects

projects have in improving water quality and wildlife habitat. It is hoped that the signage will be
effective in encouraging visitors to support the installation of rain gardens in their neighborhoods
as well as encourage other good storm water management practices.
Unauthorized vehicles gaining entry to trails and park areas has also been a problem at Sunfish
Lake Park. The proposed solution to this problem is the purchase and placement of boulders
around the perimeter of the parking area. The boulders and strategic placement of knock -down
bollards are intended to define the parking area and restrict unauthorized vehicular traffic to the
parking area, A small number of boulders might be placed in locations along trails where they
might serve as a place for park visitors to sit and rest. The Parks Commission has spent
considerable time in discussion about the boulders, including the type and source. The
Commission has expressed a strong interest in bordering the parking area with natural materials
preferably from a local source so that they closely resemble what might be native to the site and
reflective of the geological history of the site. Boulders are available locally from Agregate
Industries in Lakeland.
Lastly, two area Eagle Scout Candidates have stepped forward with proposed park improvement
projects. Chris Amundson is proposing to construct an information kiosk to be located on the
north side of the Sunfish Lake Parking lot. The kiosk is intended to provide a centralized
location for regulatory, directional and map signage. A Minnesota DNR Cross Country Ski
Grant-in-aid Capital Improvement grant will cover the cost of the materials for this project. Kyle
Yarusso is proposing the construction of two small information kiosks at Demontreville Wildlife
Area. These kiosks will provide a location for the placement of interpretive, directional and
regulatory signage related to the site, While the styles of the proposed kiosks are a little
different, each is well suited for their respective location and function.
All kiosk materials (cedar) and finishes will be consistent so as to effectively create a "branding"
of park amenities. Both Eagle Scout candidates have committed considerable time to planning
their projects, meeting with City staff, and making presentations to the Parks Commission,
PARKS COMMISSION REPORT: The Parks Commission has unanimously recommended
proposed improvements to the Sunfish Lake Park parking area; to include 1) grading of the
parking lot, 2) installation of rain gardens and a stormwater run-off filter area, 3) placement of
boulders and "knock -down" bollards for the purpose of defining the parking area and restricting
unauthorized vehicular access, 4) development of interpretive signage related to the prairie
restoration project and rain gardens, 5) construction of an information kiosk by Eagle Scout
candidate Chris Amundson,
Additionally, the Council is asked to approve and authorize expenditures recommended
unanimously by the Parks Commission related to the construction of two information kiosks at
Demontreville Wildlife Area by Eagle Scout candidate Kyle Yarusso, as well as the development
of site -related interpretive and directional signage to be placed on the kiosks.

A YOR & COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA ITEM:
SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commission
Kyle Klatt, Planning Director
THROUGH: Bruce Messelt, City Administrato
Zoning Text Amendments: Building
in the Old Village District
REVIEWED BY: Kelli Matzek, City Planner
DATE: 10/05/2010
REGULAR
ITEM #: 9
MOTION Ordinance No. 08-030
Resolution No. 2010-049
Setbacks and Parking Requirements
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
consider to zoning text amendments to the General Business District regulations in the Zoning
Ordinance. This request originated as a variance application from the Lake Elmo Inn to allow
the construction of a new enclosed patio seating structure in place of the existing fabric tent that
currently exists in front of the restaurant, but has been revised instead to amend the zoning
regulations for all properties in the Old Village area zoned GB. At issue is the fact that the
proposed structure would not meet existing setback requirements in the GB — General Business
District, nor would additional parking be provided for the additional seating area. The proposed
zoning text amendments would specifically amend the GB District as follows:
Creating a second front and side yard setback requirement of 0 feet (no setback required)
for properties located south of Minnesota State Highway 5 in the Old Village.
Allowing the Zoning Administrator to waive the parking requirements for properties
located in the Old Village area south of CSAH 5.
• Referencing the description of the "Old Village District" used in the Sign Ordinance.
These changes are noted in the attached draft Ordinance to amend the General Business District
regulations. The recommended motions to act on these items are as follows:
"Move to adopt Ordinance No. 08-030 amending the GB — General Business District
regulations for parking and setbacks in the Old Village District"
"Move to adopt Resolution 2010-049 authorizing summary publication of Ordinance 08-030"

City Council Meeting GB Ordinance Amendments
October 5tb, 2010 Regular Agenda Item # 9
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The proposed zoning arnendments are the result of
discussions with the Lake Elmo Inn regarding a proposed patio structure that has been proposed
in the front of their building. When the Lake Elmo Inn last underwent a major expansion project
in 1995, the City granted variances for setbacks and parking in that allowed the expansion
project to move forward. When this application was submitted there was a patio area noted on
the plans, but no permanent structure was ever depicted or approved by the City at this time over
the patio area. This patio has been covered with a fabric tent -type structure at various times over
the past several years, and is used extensively in the summer to provide outdoor seating for
patrons of the restaurant.
Any permanent structure, such as the one proposed, will need to comply with the district setback
and parking requirements. Since the proposed structure would cover the existing outdoor seating
area that is located with a minimal setback to the street and no new parking would be provided
for thus seating area, the applicant originally requested a variance form these provisions in a
manner similar to pervious requests for expansion. Based on the recent Minnesota Supreme
Court decision regarding variances (which significantly reduces any local discretion in granting
variances), Staff strongly encouraged the applicant to proceed with a Zoning Amendment request
as an alternative to the variances that were requested.
As suggested by Staff, the proposed zoning amendments would apply to only those portions of
the General Business District that are located in the Old Village, and more narrowly, only on
properties south of State Highway 5. The amendments that have been drafted would apply to
several other business properties in the Old Village, and would not he exclusive to the Lake
Elmo Inn property. The City has much greater discretion in considering Zoning Amendments
than Variances, and the proposed amendments would allow the Lake Elmo Inn project to
proceed without any additional action by the Planning Commission or City Council.
STAFF REPORT: Although Staff is providing the City Council with a site survey and
drawings of the Lake Elmo Inn site that were prepared for the variance request, the Council's
decision should not be based on the impact to this one site since many other properties would be
affected by the proposed changes. The Lake Elmo Inn information; however, should give the
Council a good example of the type of construction and setbacks that would be allowed under the
proposed ordinance amendments.
In both the City's Comprehensive Plan and Village Master Plan documents, one of the primary
goals for the Village is the creation of a traditional, pedestrian friendly, mixed -use development
area that respects the existing character of the area, The proposed ordinance amendments would
help move the City towards these goals by eliminating some of the existing language that
actually works counter to these goals. Nearly all of the existing buildings in the Village have
been built with very limited setbacks in relation to the street and side property lines, and few
sites are able to meet the City's parking requirements due to the limited amount of space around
most buildings. Requiring large front and side yard setbacks and requiring large portions of the
-- page 2 —
City Council Meeting GB Ordinance Amendments
October 5th, 2010 Regular Agenda Item # 9
Village to be devoted to off-street parking is at odds with the goals of a compact, walkable
downtown, and is not consistent with historic development patterns.
Staff is recommending approval of the ordinance amendments as drafted because they represent
a first step towards a Zoning Ordinance that is more consistent with the City's goals and
objectives for the Old Village area. In this case, the action requested by the Lake Elmo Inn
appropriate since all similar properties would be receiving equal treatment. With the inflexibility
that presently exists with regards to variances, the proposed ordinance amendments should also
help provide additional flexibility to other property owners in the Village that would otherwise
not be available,
Please note that the revisions as drafted by Staff are very much focused on only a few of the
provisions that help influence the design and character of the Village Area. A more thorough
review of the most appropriate zoning regulations for the Village area will be forthcoming as
part of future Village planning efforts.
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT,: The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed
revisions to the GB — General Business District regulations and conducted a public hearing on
the ordinance at its September 27, 2010 meeting. No one spoke during the public hearing
portion of the meeting.
The Commission did not express any reservations about changing the front and side yard setback
requirements in the Old Village area, but did raise several questions regarding the proposed
parking waivers. Of some concern was the current demand for parking in the Village and
whether or not the proposed amendments would make the current parking situation worse. Staff
noted that it was very unlikely that there would be any major building expansions in areas with a
deficient amount or parking, and that the general usage of buildings is unlikely to change in the
near future. It was also noted that a new Old Village mixed -use district would likely be created
in the future in order to implement the future plans for this area.
Staff will be conducting an analysis of the current parking situation in the Village area sometime
in the near future. Any new information gathered as a result of this analysis will be shared with
the Council and Planning Commission,
The Planning Commission adopted a motion to recommend approval of the proposed GB District
amendments, as presented.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above background information staff report, and
Planning Commission recommendation, it is recommended that the City Council approve the
proposed amendments to the GB — General Business District regulations by undertaking the
following two actions:

Dear the City of Lake Elmo,
Currently Lake Elmo Inn, ofLake Elmo, Minnesota, has awhite and clear plastic tent serving au
anoutdoor eating area for their guests. The tent, which has been set upinthe same area since 199(lis
an eyesore a few feet from the sidewalk tucked behind a nice raised flowerbed, Next to the tent is the
permanent addition that Lake Elmo Inn added to their building in 1995, which is a few feet closer to the
road, putting it directly atthe sidewalk edge. Lehc Elmo Inn would like toobtain avariance toconstruct
an attractive 20 X 28 Cabreeze Structure which will seat 35 people in about 80% of the footprint the tent
has been occupying for the last twenty years,
The Lake Elmo Inn isaunique building because itwas originally built inthe early 189Osand was
astagecoach stop. The historic building had property lines long before a permanent, paved road was
built next tothe building. When the road was built, itlimited expansion opportunity for the owners.
Because the building was there before the road, m/efeel Lake Elmo Inn should beable toreceive a
variance.
The current tent is not the ideal situation for Lake Elmo Inn because it is unusable throughout
the majority of the long Minnesota winter and, as mentioned above, it lacks "curb appeal," The
Cabreeze Structure will be aesthetically pleasing and will extend the patio seating capabilities
throughout the winter season for the restaurant. |fthere |umore seating space, more time out pfthe
year, more people will come and there will be more money spent in the community.
IfLake Elmo Inn isable tnbuild aCabreeoe, the whole community ofLake Elmo will benefit
because a larger amount of people for a greater portion of the year will be able to sit at Lake Elmo Inn,
keeping locals local and bringing tourists into town. New money will pour into the community asa
result of people eating at Lake Elmo inn and exploring the community instead of frequenting other,
more spacious restaurants and exploring their cities.
In conclusion, Lake Elmo inn and the community ofLake Elmo will benefit from allowing a
variance for the Inn toerect aCa6reezeStructure, ACabreezeisaesthetically pleasing, will allow for a
greater seating capacity during the colder portion of the year and allow for the possibility of more
money toenterthmcommunity.
Thank you for your consideration,

Agricultural Sales Businesses — Consideration of Ordinance Amendment
Alternatives
Planning Commission
Kyle Klatt, Planning Director
Bruce Messelt, City Administrato`
Dave Synder, City Attorney
Kelli Matzek, City Planner
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
consider a unanimous recommendation from the Planning Commission to amend certain sections
of the City Code pertaining to Agricultural Sales and Agricultural Entertainment Businesses.
The Commission is recommending that these types of activities be regulated as an interim use
permit in the zoning districts in which they are allowed, and that the Council consider several
other revisions to the agricultural use standards in the code as outlined in the attached Ordinance
No. 08-031A. The recommended motions to act on these items are as follows:
"Move to adopt Ordinance No. 08-031A, including the specified Findings of Fact, amending
the City's agricultural use definitions and regulations."
'Move to adopt Resolution 2010-050 authorizing summary publication of Ordinance 08-
031A"
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its last meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed
three alternative ordinances for regulating agricultural sales businesses within the City of Lake
Elmo. This review was in direct response to the City Council's direction to develop alternative
language to the City's current regulations concerning agricultural sales, which are limited to only
those products grown on the premises.
Using as a guide input and feedback from previous Planning Commission discussions and related
Public Hearings, as well as discussions and public comment received by the City Council, Staff
prepared three ordinance alternatives (from an initial list of seven) that would also address the
City Council's request to review this matter (and any questions about the legality of the
ordinance). The Planning Commission considered each of these alternative ordinances as a
-- page 1 --

City Council Meeting Agricultural Use Ordinance Amendments
10/05/2010 Regular Agenda Item # 10 .
potential response to the issues associated with the City's current agricultural sales and
agricultural entertainment regulations. The options reviewed by the Planning Commission
included the following:
Option 1 — Planning Commission Recommendation (Ordinance 08-031A). This
ordinance would regulate agricultural sales businesses and agricultural entertainment
businesses as an interim use permit in the districts where they are presently allowed either
as a permitted use or conditional use, At the conceptual level, the Planning Commission
stated its preference for this type of approach among the several different alternatives that
were suggested by Staff. The Planning Commission subsequently unanimously endorsed
this option for affirmative Council consideration (with certain included revisions and
possible additional evaluation).
Option 2 — Revisions that would allow Any Agricultural Sales (Ordinance 08-031B).
This ordinance would eliminate only the language concerning "grown on the premises" in
the agricultural sales and wayside stand definitions, and would be most consistent with
the remedies sought by the Country Sun Farms and others in their lawsuit against the
City.
Option 3 — Removal of All Sales Provisions (Ordinance 08-031C). This ordinance
would eliminate all references to agricultural sales or agricultural entertainment uses
within the City of Lake Elmo, If adopted, this ordinance would limit any sales of goods
on agricultural lands to only what is provided for under the Minnesota Constitution,
ORDINANCE HISTORY: In 2008 the City approved several amendments to the City Code
that amended some of the definitions associated with agricultural activity and clarified where
these types of activities are permitted, either by right or conditionally, within the City. These
amendments defined an agricultural sales business as the "retail sale of fresh fruits, vegetables,
flowers, herbs, trees, or other agricultural, floricultural, or horticultural products produced on the
premises," if other specified terms were also satisfied. Similar language remained in the wayside
stand definition, although this particular definition was further revised by the City Council within
the past few months to be more consistent with the agricultural sales definition.
The 2008 Ordinance also amended the City's sign regulations to allow certain types of
businesses, including agricultural sales, to install off -site advertising related to the business.
In late 2009, one agricultural sales operation applied for a conditional use permit for an
Agricultural Entertainment Business (which required that it also meet the definition of an
Agricultural Sales Business), but its operators indicated that they did not plan to meet the
"produced on the premises" language. In addition, Staff has identified at least two other
agricultural sales businesses that also sold produce that was not produced on the premises.
Rather than taking immediate action to enforce the City Code at that time, the City Council
decided to first study the issues associated with these uses and requested that Staff develop some
alternatives to regulate this type of activity.
--page2—
City Council Meeting Agricultural Use Ordinance Amendments
10/05/2010 Regular Agenda Item if 10
As part of the initial process to prepare a list of alternatives, Staff offered to meet with the
owners all of the larger agricultural sales operations within the community. Two of these
businesses met with Staff while two additional owners did not attempt to meet after the initial
contact with Staff.
In order to provide the City Council with a better baseline to consider how the various
agricultural uses are regulated by the City, Staff has prepared the attached chart depicting: 1) any
agricultural uses that are defined by the code and where these uses are allowed, 2) any uses that
are not defined but are still listed in the various zoning districts, and 3) whether these activities
are allowed as a permitted, conditional, or interim use.
REVIEW OF OPTIONS: As noted above, the Planning Commission considered several
different options to respond to the Council's direction at its last meeting, and expressed a
preference for pursuing an interim use strategy as a way to allow a certain amount of agricultural
sales in the community regardless of where the produce is grown. This objective of this course
of action would be to allow sales businesses to supplement their crop when necessary while still
giving the City the ability to review these types of businesses for compatibility with the existing
(and future land uses) surrounding the sales site. The other goal of this ordinance option is to
establish a clear set of regulations and standards that will need to be met by a business operating
under the interim use permit. These regulations are important to help ensure that agricultural
areas retain their rural character and do not become a nuisance, imposition or hazard to other
properties or the environment.
An interim use strategy also makes sense in the City's agricultural zones since most of these
areas may ultimately be used for residential development. Agricultural businesses that today
may operate with substantial setbacks to any residential development could eventually be
surrounded by residential homes at some point in the future. An interim use allows the City to
take any uncertainty regarding when properties may develop into account as part of the permit
review.
A brief summary of the changes proposed under the draft ordinance labeled as "Option 1"
includes the following:
A definition has been drafted for "Greenhouses" which has not previously been defined
under the City Code.
Where they were previously permitted, agricultural sales businesses have been
reclassified as an interim use.
The definition for "Agricultural Sales Businesses" would be revised to eliminate the
grown on the premises language. Any sales of products produced on the premises would
be allowed in accordance with State law, as well as pick -your -own or cut -your -own type
businesses.
-- page 3 --
City Council Meeting Agricultural Use Ordinance Amendments
10/05/2010 Regular Agenda Item # 10
Existing definitions that are not used anywhere in the City Code would be deleted,
including the "roadside stand" definition.
Where they were previously permitted as a conditional use, agricultural entertainment
businesses have been reclassified as an interim use.
The standards for "Agricultural Entertainment Businesses" have been moved to the
performance standards section of the code. Several of these standards have also been
incorporated into the Agricultural Sales Business standards, and a new provision has been
added that incorporates all of the Sales Business regulations.
The standards for "Agricultural Sales Businesses" have been augmented in part to reflect
their reclassification as an interim use.
Ordinance options two and three are much simpler because these ordinances only eliminate
provisions rather than add anything new to the code (other than the Greenhouse definition which
Staff would recommend adopting regardless of the Council's final direction).
Of note: As per Planning Commission direction, City staff did evaluate the possibility of
crafting an Administrative Permitting process, along the general line of thinking behind the
Interim Use ordinance. However, identifying existing model language and modifying such for
Lake Elmo regarding authority and procedures for an administrative permitting process did not
prove as feasible as utilizing the Interim Use ordinance language already in place and allowed by
statute. As such, this possibility has not been prepared and is no longer recommended for further
evaluation at this time.
From a Planning and Zoning perspective, please consider the following benefits and drawbacks
associated with each of the forwarded options:
PROS
OPTION 1 Provides opportunities for the sale of
produce grown off -site.
Gives the City the ability to review
operations that are more commercial
in nature than typical agricultural and
rural residential uses.
Does not allow the permit to continue
indefinitely with the land.
Allows a broader range of
economically -beneficial nonresidential
uses of property until land redevelops.
CONS
Possibly more costly and time consuming for
businesses than a permitted activity.
Increased workload associated with administering
interim uses.
Does not set a threshold for when a permit is
required (any Agricultural Sales Business would
require an interim use permit)
-- page 4 --
City Council Meeting Agricultural Use Ordinance Amendments
10/05/2010 Regular Agenda Item # 10
OPTION 2
OPTION 3
PROS
Ensures that the City will have an
opportunity to reevaluate the permit,
and to then take into consideration
changing conditions.
Provides a direct response to the
current questions posed by certain
farmers and litigants.
Would be the easiest to administer
since any Agricultural Sales Business
(that is not also another kind of
conditional use) would be permitted,
without the need to obtain a permit.
Would help the City avoid any
conflicts regarding what is agricultural
verse what is commercial.
Only those sales activities expressly
provided for in the Minnesota
Constitution would be allowed.
Provides the most distinct
classifications between agricultural,
residential, and commercial uses.
CONS
Allows commercial sales activity on any property
zoned A or RR.
Provides little protection for surrounding land uses
from any commercial activity.
Allows commercial activity to continue even after
substantial land use changes in the area.
Commercial activity is not consistent with the
majority of the future land use in the City for areas
presently zone A or RR.
Eliminates all retail sales activity in agricultural
zones.
Does not allow any augmenting or substituting of
products for farmers that experience "unforeseen
events".
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT: The Planning Commission considered the ordinance
alternatives at its meeting on September 27th, 2010 and conducted a Public Hearing on the
proposed revisions to the agricultural use provisions in the Zoning Ordinance. Representatives
from the Krueger Tree Farm, Ziertman Farm, and Country Sun Farms spoke at the hearing and:
1) raised questions about the enforcement of the proposed provisions, and 2) suggested several
revisions to the first option to improve the consistency of the ordinance with other regulations in
the City Code,
The Planning Commission also suggested several revisions to the draft ordinance Option 1,
including the following more significant changes:
Revising the definition of Agricultural Sales Businesses to continue to allow "pick your
own" and/or "cut your own" operations as part of a sales business.
-- page 5 --
City Council Meeting Agricultural Use Ordinance Amendments
10/05/2010 Regular Agenda Item # 10
Eliminating any duplicative standards (and combining standards where possible) between
the Agricultural Sales and Agricultural Entertainment performance standards.
Adding Agricultural to the list of permitted activities in the A and RR zoning districts.
Reducing the minimum lot size required for an Agricultural Sales Business from 40 acres
down to 20 acres.
Specifying that the buffer setback from residential properties only applies to the sales
areas, not the growing of crops.
Staff has taken the Planning Commission's comments and other suggestions received during the
Public Hearing to further revise the preferred ordinance (Option 1) in advance of tonight's City
Council meeting.
After a lengthy review and discussion, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended
approval of Ordinance Option 1 (drafted as Ordinance No, 08-031A for the City Council). The
motion was passed with a vote of eight ayes, zero nays, and one abstention.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission is recommending that the City Council
adopt the following motions to amend the City's agricultural use provisions:
'Move to adopt Ordinance No. 08-031A, including the specified Findings of Fact, amending
the City's agricultural use definitions and regulations."
"Move to adopt Resolution 20.10-050 authorizing summary publication of Ordinance 08-
031A"

MOTION
Old Village Water Quality Plantings at 3570 Laverne Avenue
Ryan Stempski, Assistant City Engineer
Bruce Messelt, City Administrator
Jack Griffin, City Engineer
Rusty Schmidt, Washington Conservation District
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
authorize payment in the amount of S515 to provide water quality plantings at 3760 Laverne
Avenue. The water quality plantings are being recommended by the VBWD and Washington
Conservation District (WCD) in an effort to partially mitigate a re -occurring drainage issue in
this Old Village Area property. The recommended motion to act on is as follows:
Wove to authorize initial payment by the City of Lake Elmo in the amount of $1,030 in Water
Quality Plantings for the property at 3760 Laverne Avenue,
with a 50% reimbursement by the VBWD at project completion."
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The drainage ditch through the Old Village Area
currently backs up onto private property at 3760 Laverne Avenue, due to the lack of a natural
outlet. The Washington Conservation District has worked with the property owners to improve
the area of flooding adjacent to the drainage ditch through the Old Village.
Unfortunately, the long term solution for the area is to create an outlet to the Old Village
Drainage Ditch, which will be coordinated with the future redevelopment of the Village. Until a
permanent outlet can be established it is recommended that the flooded area be planted with
deeply rooted and high transpiration plants to address this on -going problem.
STAFF REPORT: Initial recommendations included the construction of a rain garden at the
site to improve the appearance and infiltration of the captured runoff. However, soil borings
were acquired that revealed a localized heavy clay soil. With this information the WCD is
recommending the placement of deep rooted, high transpiration plantings to help soak up some
of the water so it would drain back to the ditch faster. Additionally these plantings would filter
the water that is entering the area.
-- page 1 --
City Council Meeting Old Village Area Water Quality Plantings
October 5, 2010 Agenda Item # /Xi
FUNDING: The cost for the project plantings would be shared equally by the City and the
VBWD while the WCD provides the project coordination and labor. A 50% cost share has
already been approved by VBWD. The City is being asked to pay the total cost of the plantings
in the amount of $1,030, with the VBWD reimbursing the City $515 at the project completion.
The VBWD has approved $515 for this project (a 50% cost share). The City of Lake Elmo is
being asked to contribute an additional $515. The City would fund this amount through the
Storm Water Utility Fund. All planting labor for this project will be provided at no cost. The
Washington Conservation District has coordinated with Minnesota Conservation Corp (MCC) to
install the plantings.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above background information and staff report, it is
recommended that the City Council move to approve the motion by undertaking the following
action:
"Move to authorize initial payment by the City of Lake Elmo in the amount of $1,030 in Water
Quality Plantings for the property at 3760 Laverne Avenue,
with a 50% reimbursement by the VBWD at project completion."
Alternatively, the City Council does have the authority to table, deny, or further discuss,
deliberate and, if appropriate, amend the recommended motions prior to taking action. If the
latter is undertaken, the appropriate actions of the Council following such discussion would be:
"Move to authorize initial payment by the City of Lake Elmo in the amount of $1,030 in Water
Quality Planting/or the property at 3 760 Laverne Avenue,
with a 50% reimbursement by the VBWD at project completion [as amended]."
