5) That the strict enforcement of Zoning Ordinance would cause practical difficulties and
that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted

have a needfor all qf the parking provided on the site, Between the./ormer bank
building and the Christ Lutheran Churchfacility there is an expected amount qf'
parking that will be using this property that will not change due to a change in
ownership over a portion of the site.
N That the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not
created by the landowner. Specifiefindings: That the applicant's propeq)7 is unique
due to the large amount ofparking that exceeds most other off-streetparking lots in
the downtown village area of Lake Elmo. The Zoning Ordinance does allow./or
waivers ofparking requirements in the GB — General Business District and anyfutu
users would need to request such a waiver under if theirparking needs exceeded the

the property in question is located. Specfflcfindings: That theproposed lot split will not
chJrnge the current use qf the site./or of .ficesandparking. Akypotential impacts

WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo, Minnesota, under Mim'Iesota State Statutes Chapter 272,
273 and Chapter 489, has the authority to value and assess all real property within its

for economic development to encourage businesses to locate or expand to an area (Minn. Stat. §§
469.1819-459.1816) and,

WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the following summary would clearly inforra
the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, that
the City Clerk shall cause the following summary of Ordinance No. 08-090 to be published in
the official newspaper in lieu of the entire ordinance:
The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo has adopted Ordinance No. 08-090, which replaces
the current sections of the City Code pertaining to Storm Water and Erosion and Sediment
Control. The revisions to the Lake Elmo stormwater management ordinance are being proposed
to better align the regulation of stormwater management in the city with the new State and
Watershed rules and to simplify permitting and compliance requirements with the rules.
In compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) maintains permitting authority to manage stormwater and improve water quality
throughout the state. The MPCA Stormwater Program includes two general stormwater permits
that have been reissued on August 1, 2013 to comply with changing federal rules and incorporate
changes needed to enhance compliance with the permit. The MPCA issues the Minnesota
NPDES/SDS Construction Stormwater General Permit (R1000001) to protect water resources
from contaminants in runoff from construction sites. The MPCA also issues the General
NPDES/SDS Permit MNR040000 for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) to
regulate stormwater discharge from counties, ces, townships and other government entities in
urbanized areas,
Through the reissuarice of these two permits the MPCA has included new requirements for
construction projects and by MS4's for controlling stormwater discharge volume, Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) and Phosphorus; which will require increased infiltration of stormwater
runoff for new development and redevelopment projects.
Resolution No. 2013-89
In addition, the Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) is updating their Rules and
Regulations to comply with the changes in federal and state rules. Among these changes the
VBWD is increasing the volume control design standard to capture and retain on site 1.1 inches
of stormwater runoff from the new and/or fully reconstructed impervious surface. This design
standard was previously 0.5 inches.
Ordinance 08-090 revises Section 150.277 Performance and Design Standards I
Eliminate the requirement by applicants to prepare and submit for approval by the City a
Stonn Water Management Plan using stormwater modeling design criteria that is
different from the State and/or local Watershed District(s). Instead the Stormwater
Management Plan must be submitted to the City, but will be the same Stormwater
Management Plan already prepared for watershed district and/or State approvals.
Align the stormwater rate control requirements by the city with the rate control
requirements of the State and local Watershed(s).
Align the water quality control (volume) requirements by the city with the water quality
control (volume) requirements of the State and local Watershed(s).
The full text of Ordinance No. 08-090 is available for inspection at Lake Elmo city hall during
regular business hours.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo that the City
Administrator keep a copy of the ordinance at City Hall for public inspection and that a full copy
of the ordinance be placed in a public location within the City.
