Resolution No, 2014-64
category from this map to change all parcels that are currently guided as RAD-ALT (2.0
units per acre) to RAD — Rural Agricultural Density (0.45 units per acre). The proposed
amendment will also eliminate all other references to RAD-ALT in the Comprehensive Plan,
4) That the Comprehensive Plan Amendment will apply to property legally described in the
attached Exhibit "A",
5) That the revised Met Council "Thrive 2040" population and household forecast for the City
of Lake Elmo and the elimination of the 2005 MOU between the City and Met Council has
reduced the pressure for additional growth and development within the City's rural
development (unsewered) areas.
6) That higher density residential development is encouraged in areas that will be served by
public sanitary sewer where the provision of these services is more cost-effective and where
the City has either invested or is planning to invest in significant infrastructure
improvements.
7) That the Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan specifically states that any future
higher density housing in Lake Elmo, including senior -specific housing, will be best
accommodated within the Old Village Area or 1-94 corridor due to proximity to goods,
services, and public facilities,
8) That the three existing parcels guided for RAD-ALT development do not demonstrate any
characteristics that are substantially different from other areas guided for RAD development
in the City of Lake Elmo or that would indicate that higher density development is more
appropriate in this area than any other site within the City.
9) That the City is has recently adopted major Comprehensive Plan amendment related to
development in the Old Village Area and the 1-94 corridor, Given the current market
conditions, the City encourages higher density development in areas that would help off -set
the significant infrastructure costs required to serve these areas.
10) That higher density housing is not consistent with the City's stated goals to preserve and
enhance its rural character, especially when planned in areas that are guided for Rural
Agricultural Density,
11) That build -out of existing empty lots in platted and developed OP developments is
encouraged over the creation of new development and service areas in the community
12) That new access that would be needed to support development on the existing RAD-ALT
parcels does not conform to the City's Transportation Plan that encourages limited access to
major collector roads and is inconsistent with the City's access spacing guidelines.
13) That the 2010 Comprehensive Plan Amendment for property at 943 )4 Stillwater Boulevard
North was designed to accommodate a specific development proposal which no longer
exists.
14) That no development proposals have come forward since 2005 for the other two sites that
area guided for RAD-ALT development.
15) That recent Met Council projections of population and household growth indicate le
overall • growth than was expected in 201 Oi
16) That the support of local neighbors for the 2010 development proposal at 9434 Stillwater
Boulevard North was based on a misunderstanding of the details of the proposal. The 2010
Plarming Commission recommendation was significantly driven by the support of neighbors,
which support no longer exists,
17) That the Planning Commission and City Council have become more educated and
experienced in considering higher density development. Such development should not be
considered for land not guided for sewer before 2030,
18) That the 2005 Comprehensive Plan that added two sites for RAD-ALT development and the
subsequent 2010 action to add another property to this future land use designation could be
considered spot zoning based on later information and training received by the Planning
Commission. Specifically, the sites guided for RAD-ALT development are isolated and not
connected to any other parcel or area that has a similar land use guidai-ice.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based on the foregoing, the Lake Elmo
City Council hereby approves the Comprehensive Plan amendment, subject to and contingent upon
the following:
1) Submission of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Metropolitan Council and the
receipt of formal notification from the Metropolitan Council that its review has been
completed and approved. Acknowledgement of these comments and final adoption of the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment will not require any formal action by the City Council,
Passed and duly adopted this 5t" day of August 2014 by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo,
Minnesota.

A RESOLUTION TRANSMITTING THE CITY OF LAKE ELMO'S SUPPORT OF THE LOCALLY
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE (LPA) TO THE RCRRA, WCRRA, and METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
WHEREAS, the Gateway Corridor is a proposed project that will provide for transit infrastructure improvements in
the eastern portion of the Twin Cities, and;
WHEREAS, the purpose of the project is to provide transit service to meet the existing and long-term regional
mobility and local accessibility needs for businesses and the traveling public within the project area by providing all
day bi-directional station -to -station service that compliments existing and planned express bus service in the
corridor, and;
WHEREAS, the Gateway Corridor is located in Ramsey and Washington Counties, Minnesota, extending
4� t,
approximately 12 miles, and connecting downtown Saint Paul with its East Side neighborhoods and the suburbs of
Maplewood, Landfall, Oakdale, Lake Elmo, and Woodbury, and;
WHEREAS, the Gateway Corridor Commission (GCC), in partnership with the Metropolitan Council and other
project stakeholders, completed the Gateway Corridor Alternatives Analysis (AA) Study that in addition to the No -
Build alternative recommended one bus rapid transit (BRT) and one light trail transit (LRT) alternative be advanced
for further study in the federal and state environmental review process, and;
WHERE AS, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA); the Washington County Regional Railroad Authority
(WCRRA), serving on behalf of the GCC; and the Metropolitan Council have initiated the environmental review
process for the Gateway Corridor project, with FTA designated as the lead federal agency for this project, and;
WHEREAS, the Gateway Corridor project recently received the important Presidential designation as a Federal
Infrastructure Permitting Dashboard Project, and;
WHEREAS, the Gateway Corridor project recently completed the Scoping phase of the environmental process,
which resulted with the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) and the GCC recommending further study of the No -
Build alternative, four BRT alternatives operating within a dedicated Guideway (A-B-C-DI-El, A-B-C-D2-El, A-
B-C-D2-E2, A-B-C-D2-E3) and a managed lane alternative in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) at
the request of the FTA and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and;
WHEREAS, the BRT alignments that advance into the Draft EIS will be further defined and evaluated to minimize
impacts to surrounding properties and the 1-94 corridor which may include operating in existing lanes with mixed
traffic at pinch points where right-of-way is constrained, enhance economic development potential, and reduce
capital costs while providing required operating efficiency, with attention to mobility options for environmental
justice populations, and;
WHEREAS, through the Scoping process, the PAC and the GCC recommended that the LRT alternative be
eliminated from further study due to its higher costs while generating a similar ridership, and;
WHEREAS, the identification of a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) is a critical first step in pursuing federal
funding for the Gateway Corridor project, and;
WHEREAS, the adoption of the LPA into the Metropolitan Council's Transportation Policy Plan will conclude the
FTA Alternatives Analysis process, and;
WHEREAS, the LPA includes the definition of the Gateway Corridor mode and a conceptual alignment which can
be refined through further engineering efforts, and;
WHEREAS, the LPA selection process does not replace or override the requirement to fully examine alternatives
and determine the adverse impacts that must be avoided or mitigated under the federal and state environmental
review process, and;
WHEREAS, the comments submitted by agencies, the business sector, and the public during the Scoping phase, as
well as the additional comments received from adjacent communities since the Seeping phase, will be addressed
accordingly through the Draft EIS process, and;
WHEREAS, the PAC and GCC each passed resolutions on July 24, 2014 recommending BRT Alternative A-B-C-
D2-E2 (see attached figure) as the proposed LPA for review at the August 7 PAC sponsored LPA public hearing
and inclusion in the Metropolitan Council's Draft 2040 Transportation Policy Plan, and;
WHEREAS, the Gateway Corridor PAC/GCC held a public hearing on August 7, 2014 as part of the LPA decision
making process. A total of 35 comments were received through the proposed LPA review process, and;
WHEREAS, the Cities will be working collaboratively and with support from the GCC to complete a market
analysis and station area plans for the areas around the BRT Guideway stations as a part of the Draft EIS process,
and;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Lake Elmo supports the LPA recommendation of the
PAC and GCC and identifies the dedicated BRT alternative generally on the Hudson Road — Hudson Boulevard
alignment that crosses to the south side of 1-94 between approximately Lake Elmo Avenue and Manning Avenue is
the Locally Preferred Alternative for the Gateway Corridor project (see attached figure).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Lake Elmo commits to undertaking and developing station area
plans with the support of the GCC for the proposed BRT guideway station areas within its jurisdiction based on the
results of a market analysis, community input, and Metropolitan Council guidelines and expectations for
development density, level of activity, and design.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that through the Draft EIS process the PAC and the GCC will continue to evaluate
and focus on transit service connections to the dedicated BRT system (A-B-C-D2-E2), including an efficient feeder
bus network, as well as the number and location of stations throughout the Gateway Corridor to maximize service,
accessibility, and surrounding economic development opportunities, while minimizing impacts.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Lake Elmo commits to working with the Washington County
Regional Railroad Authority, on behalf of the Gateway Corridor Commission, and the Metropolitan Council to
address the comments submitted by agencies, adjacent communities, the business sector, and the public during the
Seeping phase, as well as additional comments received during the development of the LPA, through the Draft EIS
process, and the following areas of particular importance to the City of Lake Elmo.
1. The ownership and maintenance responsibilities of Hudson Boulevard were recently turned back to the
City of Lake Elmo from MnDOT. If Hudson Boulevard is expanded to accommodate a BRT guideway or
additional travel lanes for the exclusive use of buses it may increase the demands on the City to properly
maintain the roadway. The City of Lake Elmo requests analysis of appropriate jurisdictional control
over Hudson Boulevard and robust consideration of a possible turn back to Washington County.
2. Maintaining access for current land owners along Hudson Boulevard and planning for access for future
development needs to be part of a functional ingress — egress policy, The City of Lake Elmo requests
the development of an access management plan for Hudson Blvd. that is supported by property
owners, the City of Lake Elmo and Washington County.
3. The City of Lake Elmo supports an easterly station in the proximity of the NW comer of Manning Avenue
and 1-94 to support economic development, including job creation, tax value, and traffic efficiency
associated with the creation of a business park as guided by the City's Comprehensive Plan, Incorporating
a Gateway station in Lake Elmo will require station area planning resources to ensure that Lake Elmo is
maximizing economic development potential and ridership. The City Lake Elmo requests thorough
analysis of economic development potential to assist in guiding the placement of Gateway stations in
the corridor segment from Keats Avenue to Manning Avenue as well as planning resources from the
Gateway Corridor Commission and Washington County to assist with transit oriented
development/station area planning.
4. Lake Elmo Avenue serves as an important access point to downtown Lake Elmo. Due to the proximity of
the road to both the Lake and developed neighborhoods, future expansion is constrained through the
downtown area and the roadway cannot functionally handle additional growth in the regional movement
of traffic beyond what is currently forecasted. The City of Lake Elmo recognizes that while the
Gateway Corridor project will likely not preclude an interchange in this location, it would like to
take this opportunity to state to Washington County, the Minnesota Department of Transportation
and the Federal Highways Administration that an interchange is NOT desired in this location.
5. Safety and security at BRT stations for transit patrons and surrounding businesses and neighborhoods is
very important to Lake Elmo. BRT Stations should be designed to be safe and secure environments that
incorporate design elements to deter crime such as good lighting, visibility, security monitoring. The City
of Lake Elmo requests a safety and security plan to ensure that adequate resources are provided at
a regional and local level to effectively address safety and security concerns at Gateway Corridor
facilities.
6. The City of Lake Elmo would also support an A-B-C-D2-E3 alignment and continued evaluation as
part of the Draft EIS.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution adopted by the City of Lake Elmo be forwarded to the
Metropolitan Council for their consideration.
