MEMORANDUM
To: Clark Schroeder, City Administrator, Lake Elmo
From: Paul Aplikowski | PA
Date: January 18, 2024
Revised February 5, 2024
Comm. No: 232224
Subject: Independent School District #834
Submittal to City of Lake Elmo on behalf of Stillwater Area Public Schools,
for the proposed New Lake Elmo Elementary School project, located at the
intersection of Lake Elmo Avenue North and Tenth Street North, Lake Elmo,
Minnesota (Property ID #2602921440001)
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment Submittal Narrative:
On behalf of the Stillwater Area Public Schools, we are submitting for city staff review of a
comprehensive plan amendment and zoning map amendment for the proposed new
Lake Elmo Elementary School site. The proposed 1,100-student elementary school building would
replace the current Lake Elmo Elementary School located at 11030 Stillwater Boulevard, Lake Elmo,
Minnesota. The new building is proposed to be a total of 148,000 square feet and will likely be a
two-story structure. At this time, the exact footprint size is unknown as the design of the building is
still in progress.
The 47.6-acre site is currently zoned as Agricultural (A) and will require rezoning to Public Facilities
(PF) to accommodate the proposed educational use. A Conditional Use Permit will be submitted
after rezoning has been completed. In addition to rezoning the parcel, we understand that the
Comprehensive Plan will need the future land use guidance for this site amended from Rural Area
Development (RAD) to Institutional (INST). Based on comments received on the Sketch Plan
Review submittal, we are continuing to show access to the site from both adjacent roads (Tenth
Street North and Lake Elmo Avenue North). To help facilitate site safety, the District will endeavor
to keep the bus and visitor traffic separate. The visitor entry will be designed to allow on-site
stacking of waiting vehicles.
Aside from onsite parking and the school building itself, the site is proposed to include several
other amenities that have the potential to be jointly used by the school and the City of Lake Elmo
residents. Currently two ball fields, a greenspace field, and playground facilities are planned for the
site. We are aware of the need for onsite stormwater control.

The District desires the new school building to be connected to the City’s municipal sanitary sewer
and drinking water supply. We understand that this will require an extension of the MUSA
boundary to include this site. In the comments received on the previously submitted Sketch Plan
Review from the Lake Elmo City engineering department, it was stated that all proposed uses on
the property should be served by the City public drinking water supply due to the PFAS
groundwater contamination in the surrounding area. This is in alignment with guidance received
from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Through analysis of 12 months of utility bills from the District’s newest facility (Brookview
Elementary), our research indicates that 578,000 gallons of water were used over a 12-month period.
This equates to an average of six gallons of water used per student per day. For the new facility,
which will serve an estimated 1,100 students, this would extrapolate to 6,600 gallons of water per
day.
Feel free to contact Wold Architects and Engineers or the District with any questions or concerns
you may have.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 31, 2024
To: Sophia Jensen, City Planner Re: ISD 834 Lake Elmo Elementary School
Cc: Nathan Fuerst, Planning Consultant PID 26‐029‐21‐44‐0001
Marty Powers, Public Works Director Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezoning
Chad Isakson, PE, Assistant City Engineer
From: Jack Griffin, PE, City Engineer
Engineering has reviewed the ISD 834 Lake Elmo Elementary School Site Plans to be located at the corner of Lake
Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10 Street (CSAH 10). The review consisted of the following documentation received
on January 24, 2024:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezoning Narrative dated January 18, 2024.
Site Survey dated December 19, 2023.
Conceptual Site Plans, Sheets C000, C100, C200, C300, and C400, dated January 19, 2024.
APPLICATION NARRATIVE AND SITE PLAN SUMMARY
1. 1,100‐student elementary school building. 148,000 SF 2‐story building.
2. Located on 47.6 acres at northwest corner of Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th Street (CSAH 10).
3. Request to rezone parcel to Public Facilities and expand MUSA for public sewer service.
4. Request to connect to city water.
5. Replaces current Lake Elmo elementary school building at 11030 Stillwater Boulevard.
6. Access requested from Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th street (CSAH 10) for separated bus and
visitor entry/egress. Visitor entry will be designed to allow on‐site stacking of waiting vehicles.
7. Site to include elementary school, bus access and parking lot, visitor access and parking lot, ballfields,
open fields, playground, greenspace, and stormwater management.
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVMENTS, ACCESS AND COLLECTOR STREETS
1. County Roadway Right‐of‐way Dedication. Additional right‐of‐way dedication has been shown along both
Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th Street North (CSAH 10) to provide a total of 75‐feet from the
roadway centerline. The additional right‐of‐way dedication must be verified that the measurements are
provided from the physical roadway centerline and not a survey Section line.
2. Small/Dry Utility Corridor Preservation. Minimum 10‐ft wide drainage and utility easement must be
dedicated along all the full frontage of the public right‐of‐way, including Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and
10th Street (CSAH 10). The 10‐ft. easement corridor must be preserved for the installation of small/dry
utilities and remain free from all encroachments, including trees, retaining walls, storm sewer, and
stormwater BMPs. Grading within the easement areas must be less than 4:1 slope. The required 10‐ft
drainage and utility easements have not been shown on the site plans and the proposed grading plan
shows both steep slope and landscaping encroachments.
3. Access Management. The proposed access location along both Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th
Street (CSAH 10) must be approved by Washington County. An access management plan must be
submitted that provides the offset distances from the proposed access locations to all adjacent
intersections and driveways.

Chad Isakson, P.E. 651.300.4285
PAGE 2 of 3
4. Turn Lane Improvements. As part of the site improvements, dedicated right and left turn lanes must be
constructed along Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th Street (CSAH 10) at both access locations. The
required turn lanes have not been shown on the proposed site plans. Turn lanes must be constructed
meeting Washington County standards.
5. Secondary Access. The site shows a single access for busing and a single access for all other vehicles.
Internal connectivity between the two access locations is not provided. Emergency vehicle access
requirements must be reviewed and approved by the Lake Elmo Fire Department.
6. Traffic Signal Improvements. The installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Lake Elmo Avenue
(CSAH 17) and 10th Street (CSAH 10) should also be included as part of the site improvements to provide
additional traffic control for peak demands as well as provide safe pedestrian crossings at the
intersection.
7. Bituminous Trails. The site improvements must include and show on the site plans the construction of a
bituminous trail along the full length both Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th Street (CSAH 10).
Pedestrian connectivity should be planned as part of the school site, including internal pedestrian
connections, connection to the County Park Preserve, and safe pedestrian crossings for each County
roadway at each access location.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
1. The site plan is subject to a storm water management plan (SWMP) meeting State, Valley Branch
Watershed District (VBWD) and City rules. Storm water facilities proposed as part of the site plan to meet
State and VBWD permitting requirements must be constructed in accordance to City Engineering Design
Standards dated January 2022, even though the facilities will remain privately owned.
2. The stormwater management mitigation must be provided for all required site improvements, including
the County roadway and intersection improvements, County roadway turn lanes, and all bituminous trails.
If any of these improvements are not constructed as part of the site development, then the stormwater
management should be oversized to preserve capacity for these improvements to be constructed by
others.
3. All stormwater facilities and BMPs will be privately owned and maintained by the school district. The
school district will be required to provide a Stormwater Maintenance and Easement Agreement in
accordance with the City’s standard form of agreement.
4. All storm water basins must be placed in easements in accordance with the Stormwater Maintenance and
Easement Agreement. The easements must fully incorporate the 100‐year HWL, 10‐foot maintenance
bench and all maintenance access roads. Maintenance access roads meeting city standards must be
provided for all storm water facilities and structures.
5. The SWMP will be required to verify that rate control and volume control requirements are met for all
points of discharge from the site. The existing and proposed drainage exhibits must clearly show and label
all points of discharge from the site, including any required public improvements and turn lanes. The
SWMP rate control tables must reference each discharge location independently and combined.
6. Overland emergency overflows or outlets will be required as part of the site plan.
7. All wetlands and wetland buffers must be delineated and protected by easement.
8. Minimum floor elevations must be at least 2 feet higher than the adjacent 100‐year HWL elevation. Also,
all low opening elevations for all buildings must be at least 1‐ft higher than any adjacent emergency
overflow elevation (EOF).
9. All localized low points must be protected within a drainage easement.
MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY
1. Due to the PFAS groundwater contamination in the surrounding area, all proposed uses on the property
should be served by the City public drinking water supply.
2. Connection to the municipal water system is available to the existing trunk watermain running along Lake
Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17). The applicant will be responsible for connecting to the existing 16‐inch trunk
watermain located near the proposed Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) driveway entrance and running a
PAGE 3 of 3
minimum 8‐inch ductile iron watermain internal to the site and throughout the property as necessary to
provide connection to all proposed uses.
3. A second watermain connection will be required to create a looped network by extending the watermain
south through the proposed 10th Street (CSAH 10) entrance, then east along 10th Street (CSAH 10) to
connect back to the existing trunk watermain at the intersection with Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17).
4. Watermain oversizing may be required to ensure adequate water supply and fire suppression once the
site development water demands are known.
5. The project will require the placement of fire hydrants and water system valves internal to the site as
determined by the Lake Elmo Public Works Director and Fire Department.
6. Minimum 30‐foot easements centered over the pipe/hydrant will be required when not located within
the public right‐of‐way. Easements must be free from all encroachments, including retaining walls, trees,
fences, small/dry utilities, or storm water management BMPs. Easements must be dedicated to the city as
part of the project.
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
1. The proposed site is located outside of the city designated Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA) for
sanitary sewer service. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment application requests the expansion of the
city designated MUSA to allow the proposed elementary school to be served by public sanitary sewer.
2. The public sanitary sewer system is not readily available to serve this property. The applicant will be
required to extend sanitary sewer service to the site as part of the site improvements. The discharge or
connection manhole location to the city sewer system is at the intersection of Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH
17) and 5th Street North, roughly 3,500 to 3,800 feet from the proposed school location.
3. Sewer System Extension to be privately owned. Since there are no other benefitting properties to be
served by sewer between the connection manhole and the school site, the sewer extension would be
considered a sewer service rather than a public sewer main line, and would be owned and operated
privately by the school district.
4. Sanitary Lift Station and Forcemain. The sewer extension improvements would likely require the
construction of a new sanitary lift station to be installed near the new school building. The school sewer
service would discharge by gravity to the new lift station with a 3,500 ft. to 3,800 ft. long forcemain
installed along the Lake Elmo Avenue right‐of‐way, and discharging to the proposed connection manhole.
5. No sanitary sewer oversizing is anticipated for these improvements.

The project will require a Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) permit. Once a complete VBWD permit applicaon is
submi&ed, we will review it for conformance to VBWD rules and regulaons.
The site includes two landlocked depressions and another depression. Two more depressions that are mostly off the
site, extend onto the site. While the proposed school building appears to be more than 2 feet higher than the ulmate
overflows of the depressions, the conceptual plan shows filling below the 100-year flood levels of some of the
depressions. Compensatory storage will be needed for any fill below the 100-year flood levels of any depression.

RE: Lake Elmo – Stillwater Schools Comprehensive Plan Amendment
City Planner Jensen:
Washington County has received and reviewed the City’s Comprehensive Plan Amendment to alter the property
guidance from Rural Area Development to Institutional and be included into the MUSA boundary and the
additional zoning map amendment. Washington County does not oppose the proposed Comprehensive Plan
Amendment. Attached are general comments related to the site plan provided by the Stillwater Area Public
Schools that have been shared previously with both the City of Lake Elmo and the school district.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Sincerely,
Kelli Matzek
Senior Planner

The location of the proposed school is adjacent to the intersection of two busy county highways. There are some
specific site development challenges and concerns that the county believes the city council should be made aware
of as they consider this planning amendment.
These comments were previously shared with Stillwater Area Public Schools on April 17, 2023, and the City of Lake
Elmo on October 24, 2023.
Washington County 2040 Comprehensive Plan – Chapter 5: Transportation
a. Functional Classification - Per the Washington County 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 5 – Figure 3
shows the functional classification of both roadways. County 17 is a Collector. County 10 is an A-minor
Arterial Reliever – serving east west regional trips. Both highways are on the County State Aid Highway
System and serve as important commuter routes and are the designated truck routes in the area.
b. Traffic Volume Forecast and Concerns - Washington County 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 5: Figure 7
shows current traffic volumes on County 10 in this area range from 4,200 to 6,066 vehicles per day. On
County 17 traffic volumes are in the range of 3,500 vehicles per day currently.
Additionally, Figure 25 shows traffic volumes are forecasted to increase significantly, with or without the
school development. Traffic on County 10 is expected to increase to 13,800 by 2040, and traffic on County
17 will increase to a range of 5,800 to 6,900 vehicles per day by 2040. These increases indicate a need,
especially on County 10, for additional capacity improvements including the possibility of additional
through lanes. This roadway expansion should be accounted for in proposed site plans to ensure the
school site can accommodate the forecasted growth.
Figure 26 shows the future volume to capacity ratio on county highways expected by 2040. This is a
measure of congestion and an indication of where highway expansion will be needed in the future. Note
that County 10 in this area shows traffic volume exceeding roadway capacity – further reinforcing the
future need for expansion of this roadway. Given this analysis, it can be foreshadowed that not only will
the roadway need an increase in capacity, but that the intersection of County 10 and County 17 will need
significant upgrades, including intersection control such as a roundabout or stoplight.
The roadway type, volume, speed and character of traffic on these highways will not change as a result of
a school nearby. History tells us that the volume and conflicts related to school uses will likely increase
over and above the existing county comprehensive plan forecasts. This is due to the nature of school
traffic as well as the increased sensitivity of the community around school safety and traffic conflicts. This
is especially important to note as schools tend to be traffic generators throughout the days and on
weekends.
c. Right of Way Dedication - Washington County 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 5: Figure 27 indicates a
need for 150 foot right of way on both County 10 and County 17. Thus, a minimum of 75 feet of right-of-
way from the centerline should be secured at the time of development along both County 10 and County
17. The city will be responsible for the costs of future right-of-way acquisition if not secured at the time of
development, in accordance with Washington County Cost Participation Policy #8001 as previously
referenced.
d. Access- All access will need to come off the county highway system for this proposed school site. This
presents some additional challenges that will need to be addressed in design.
School sites typically generate significant traffic volume and queuing; therefore, the County would require
a traffic study to better understand the anticipated traffic operations at the proposed access locations and
affected nearby intersections as part of the County’s access permitting process. It should be noted that
queuing of traffic on the county highway system presents significant safety issues. The design of the site
must accommodate all expected queuing at peak operating times.
Site sketches shared with the county propose two entrances: a bus entrance on County 10 and a visitor
entrance on County 17. The county anticipates that the proposed bus cul-de-sac driveway from County 10
would be particularly problematic with respect to safety and operations. The close spacing from this
proposed driveway to the arterial intersection of County 10 and County 17 creates a risk that traffic
queues will sometimes obstruct the bus driveway or lead to a shortage of available gaps for buses to exit
the site, particularly when the intersection experiences a surge of other school traffic. This will be
exacerbated when this intersection is improved. The location of this access will need to be evaluated
further.
e. Turn Lanes -Any access from this property should be planned to include the construction of turn lanes on
the county highway. Lane geometry should be developed such that intersection control such as a stop
light can be added in the future.
f. Internal circulation -The school should plan for internal circulation from all access points on the site. The
site plan should never use the county highway system as a circulator route to access various points of the
property.
g. Future Sport Fields -The county is not likely to permit an additional street to accommodate future
expansion. Access to future site expansion should be planned and considered during initial site planning.
h. Pedestrian and Bike Access – The County will want to collaborate with the city and the school district to
consider and plan for pedestrian infrastructure within walking distance of the school, notwithstanding any
current policies related to bus transportation. The pedestrian routes should connect with nearby
neighborhoods, both existing and planned, and should provide reasonably direct access into the school
site itself. The construction of sidewalks and trails is a public benefit that will improve the community. The
County will want to work with the City and the School to determine when and where these trails are
constructed. Washington County Cost Participation Policy #8001 will provide guidance on cost share.
i. Site Drainage - All site drainage features will need to be addressed on the school property. No ponding or
site drainage appurtenances will be allowed in the current or future county right of way.
j. Landscaping- No landscaping or screening of the property will be allowed in the current or future county
right of way. All landscaping should be included on the school property.
k. Noise and Lighting- County highway traffic produces noise that should be considered in the site design.
Similarly – lighting can be a key safety element and lighting should be considered as part of the site
planning.
Washington County Public Health and Environment
• Any sewage tank(s), drywells/cesspools, or SSTS component(s) located during land altering or construction
phases shall be properly abandoned. A County permit for septic system abandonment shall be submitted
to the Washington County Department of Public Health and Environment.
• Any water supply wells located during land altering or construction phases need to be sealed according to
Minnesota Department of Health regulations to mitigate potential groundwater contamination.
• All solid and hazardous waste, including waste from historic dumping, must be removed from the property
and managed at an appropriately permitted waste disposal facility.
• The planning considerations taken towards PFAS on the proposed school site is aligned with the
Washington County Groundwater Plan. Full awareness of the scope and impact of the PFAS contamination
and a full dedication towards safety must be adhered to when developing or populating the site.
