Evert Esther Tomljanovich OTHERS PRESENT: Gordon Lane MEETING NUMBER: One (1) David Boorman Bruce A. Folz Thomas Torseth Maynard Eder Leonard Kirvida Dexter Ziton Audrey Hedberg NOTE: This is the first meeting of planning commission members appointed by the newly elected Village Council of the new Village of Lake Elmo resulting from the consolidation of the Town of East Oakdale and the previous Village of Lake Elmo. The Council directed William E. Lundquist to call this first meeting in the capacity of the Commission's Temporary Chairman. The commission members named abol,e as present constitute the original appointees. There exsists one vacancy for a nine member planning commission which the Council plans to appoint at a later date. MEETING MINUTES: The meeting of the Planning Commission was informally called to order by William E, Lundquist, Temporary Chairman. Persons present were desirous to appear before the commission, therefore, their matters were taken up soon after call of the meeting to order. File: 1-0001 (Property Division, Unplatted-number 1) Appearing: Gordon Lane (Telephone * 454-2193, purchaser,fall Dexter Ziton, 2645 Lake Jane Drive (seller) Requesting: Bailding permit for a parcel of land resulting from a division of a parcel described by a metes & bounds description,the remaining parcel on which the residence of Mr. & Mrs. Dextor Zi.tCn it; sityatad. The parcel Aps a lake shore site located in the North Northeast tuadkant of Lake Jane lying between the lake and Lake Jane Drive. (Gov't Lot 1, Sec. 10, Twp 29N Rge 21W) The following points were brought to the attention of Mr. Lane and Mr. Ziton by various members of the commission: 1. That the division of the parcel owned by Mr. Ziton may have been a possible violation of the subdivision regulations of the Village (then Town) since the parcel was less than 2 1/2 acres in area. 2. That a new ordinance relative to individual sewerage treat- ment systems became effective in January 1970. The ordinance, 1ippted the State Code as established by the Department of Health. Page 2 MEETING MINUTES, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NUMBER ONE 2. (con't) File: 1-0001 The requirement of the state code would be that the system be placed at an elevation not less than 6.5 feet above the 930.0 feet above sea level flood plain established by the previous Town Board of East Oak- dale for Lake Jane. (estimated contour elevations Mr. Lane had drawn on a lot plan indicated that he could not put the system toward the lake nor could he have the system drain from the basement elevation) 3. The commission members being newly brought together could not at this meeting properly interpret the question of whether the parcel area with an elevation less than the flood plain could be included in the determination of ordinance area requirements ( one acre where public sewer & water facillities are not available). This point was dropped from further discussion when it was identified that the parcel in question including the area below flood plain does not meet the one acre requirement. (The parcel total area was determined to be approx. one-half acre) 4. Mr. Lane suggested that he could provide fill for the area to bring a greater portion of the parcel above the flood plain ele- vation. Commission members pointed out that filling below the flood plain could only be undertaken after permission was granted by the Village Council and the Conservation Department. It was doubted that such permission would be obtained. 5. Mr. Ziton stated that he had appeared before the Town Board relative to this building perm t s et}"me etweep January & March of 1969. M. Eder dpul$ of em*nbe tha details Of try previous inquiry. ( M. Eder informed Mr. Zi on that the Town Board minutes would be checked for further .information regarding that inquiry) Mr. Ziton did state the the dimensions discussed at that inquiry were not the same as those of the' present parcel under dicussion. The dimensions are 125 feet frontage by an average depth of 1671 feet. (Previous width was 160 feet) Since the evening was passing fast, Mr. Lundquist stated that nothing further could be done at this meeting regarding his request and that ,t appeared that possibly no permit could be granted for the parcel in question unless the facts changed materially. (William Lundquist. was to check with the Village Attorney rel- ative to the division violation question) File;1-0002 (Property Division, Unplatted - number 2) Appearing: Audrey Hedberg, representing Dunn & Stringer -Realtors Requesting: Ability to divide a parcel containing approximately three (3) acres into three parcels. Parcel is owned by Donald And- erson and is located on the North side of DeMontreville Road between Olson Lake Road (OaMdale Village limits West boundary) and where DeMontreville Road turns North as Lane Road intersects. Mrs. Hedberg stated her firm is assigned the sale for Mr. Anderson. -Page ? MFET:NG MINUTES, PLANNING COMMISSICN MEETING NUMBER ONE Ccnt.neet ion of File: 1-0002 The following points were brougbk to the attention cf Mrs. Hedberg: 1. The present zoning of the parcel in question is agricultural. As such the members of the commission expressed the fact larger tracts for res dentin l d oelepraer.t would be required. Further, discussion about the pcssibility of rezoning indicated displeasure with piece- n a1 r;,- zcn i ng (pot Boning) and that during the next twelve month pt_rir,d the ehmr.ission would. have to review the entire Village for changes to the Comprehensive Plant and Zoning Ordinance. No one could giver assurance of when this would be completed withinthat twelve month .ntt real. at this time. Until then not re -zoning would •be conside ed, at Least that was the feeling of the members at this time. 2. The location of a North -South thoroughfare East of Freeway 694 cculd have a definite effect on the development of the parcel in ques- tion. Mrs. Hedberg was advised that the county was presently in the final stages of the development of its future road plan. 3. The re -zoning if requested at a later date would have to be coordinated with the Village of Oakdale since it is an adjacent par- cel to that Village.. This would be, done c}s a cooperative underta ing between . t -re trio communities . The E'ast •Oakdale planning Conh:iSsion had assured the Oakdale Planning Commission in the fail of 1969 that this exchange of information would take place on boundary situations in the future to achieve joint cooperation. MEMBER DISCUSSION PERIOD The evening having been mostly taken up by the two matters taken up by the commission discussion of meeting dates, organization, objective and manner of handling hatters referred to the commission took place. the following decisions were made: 1. The commission would meet the Second Tuesday and Fourth Monday of each month. Meetings would commence at 7:30 PM. 2. That persons wishing to appear before the commission would be required to have the matter for which they appear placed on the a4genda which was to be handled through the part-time office secretary for the Council when hired. (Until then requests to appear should be directed to the commission secretary) 3. That William Lundquist continue as Chairman at this time. After considerable discussion Maynard Eder accepted the position of commiss- ion secretary. 4. That copies of the Town of East Oakdale and Village of Lake Elmo ordinances be prepared for each commission member and made available a{ the March 23, 1970 meeting of the commission.
