CITY OF LAKE ELMO
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 24, 1975
Meeting called to order at 7:45 by Chairperson Lundquist.
PRESENT: Lundquist, Williams, Johnson, Dreher, Novak, Froehner, Grace (9:00),
Sovereign (10:00) and Armstrong.
LOESCHER Lundquist informed the PZC that Mr. Loescher is getting
further information and would not be at this meeting.
MINUTES MOTION by Johnson to approve the minutes of the February llth
meeting.
SECOND by Froehner
VOTE: Motion carried all in favor ( Grace and Sovereign not present)
1-94 Johnson read an article from the Minneapolis Tribune concerning a
compromise third route for I94. Copy attached to these minutes.
MIELKE Mr. Donald Mielke of 3631 Laverne Ave. N. discussed his chain link
fence plans. (Lots 25-29, Block 1, Cloverdale Add.) The PZC took
no action. His plans call for a line fence 39 inches high. This
is to facilitate his wife's day care activities. Adjoining property
owners should be informed before the permit is issued.
SEWERS The future sewer plans for Lake Elmo were discussed. Lundquist
stated that the capacity of the Oakdale sewers was a 50,000
population. The population of the Tri-Lakes area was estimated
to be 1200. Lundquist said that in Maplewood the 3M Center has
used the equivalent amount of water and sewer as a 30,000 pop.
center would use. The cost of assessments for sewers and its effect
on open spaces and wetlands was considered.
3M MOTION: by Williams
Whereas; 3M Co. has stated that it will request in May 1975 to
start the rezoning process to accommodate its proposed development
in Section 16, and
Whereas; This rezoning will have substantial effect on the
surrounding property
Therefore; be it resolved that the Lake Elmo PZC strongly recommends
that the City Council of Lake Elmo make every effort to solicit
the opinions of the property owners in the affected areas at the
earliest possible date. Such solicitation might include a village
newsletter, public meetings and so forth.
SECOND: Armstrong
VOTE: Motion carried all in favor (Sovereign not present)
SEWERS MOTION: by Lunquist
The PZC urges the Council to adopt the following proposals in dealing
with sewers in the Tri-Lakes and proposed 3M development area:
(1) Sewer 3M west to WONE with no provision for adding adjacent
• Lake Elmo land.
(2) Delay sewering Tri-Lakes as long as possible. Any failing or
non -complying septic -drain field systems should be corrected so
as to minimize need for public sewer in the area.
(3) High density development (one acre or less) of presently
unplatted land adjacent to the Tri-Lakes area should not be
permitted, so that if and when the Tri-Lakes area is sewered into
WONE, it will be a permanent solution.
SECOND: Johnson
VOTE: Motion carried all in favor (Sovereign not present)
SEWERS MOTION: Lundquist
OLD The PZC urges the Council to adopt the following proposals in dealing
VILLAGE with sewers in the Old Village area:
A study should be made as to the number of failing septic systems. (If
it has not already been done) If the number is small, the people
should be asked to correct these systems and sewering of the Old
Village should not be done in the immediate future. If the number
is large, the Old Village could be sewered by an interceptor to
the Cimmaron plant or a local package plant.
SECOND: Williams
VOTE: Motion carried all in favor (Sovereign not present)
LAKE ELMO MOTION: by Johnson that Grace and Sovereign be appointed the Lake
OAKDALE Elmo representatives to the LE-0 Joint Committee to study and
JOINT recommend procedures for dealing with the 3M development.
COMMITTEE SECOND: Froehner
VOTE: Motion carried all in favor (Sovereign not present)
MOTION by Williams that the PZC recommends to the Council that the
Planning Consultant be authorized to participate in the Joint
Committee studying proceedures to deal with the 3M development.
SECOND: Novak
VOTE: Motion carried all in favor.
BY-LAWS MOTION: Williams that the By -Laws as amended be adopted ( copy of
By -Laws attached hereto)
SECOND: Armstrong
VOTE: Motion carried all in favor.

because the management.
committee asked only that
two other routes be stud-
ied, according to David
Ekern, the project manag-
er in the department's
Oakdale (St. Paul) division
office.
■ The management com-
mittee in early 1974 chose
two alternate 1-94 routes
for anaesis -- a south
route along the present
alif;nr;ent of .'wy. 12, the
four lane c ; . ;ded highway

Tribune has learned.
"north -south"' route is a,
combination of the- first
two. It follows the north-
ern alternative from near
the I-494-694 intersection
about half -way to Wiscon-
sin, then swings back
south at County Rd. 15 to
rejoin the Hwy. 12, or
south route, alignment.
• Ekern late last year di-
rected that all re.`erences
t•:a the third alternative be
deleted from the technical
report, and William Mer-
ritt, an assistant state
hIghway commissioner,
supported that decision.
"The (north and south) al-
ternatives were defined by
the management commit-
tee," says Ekern. "That

formation should . not tie,
suppressed and the route
should be investigated
further as a matter of sound
public policy. In addition
they fear that, since the

Lappegaard to stop the

said opponents had valid
concerns.

The criticism was mainly
that the northern route
would produce two major,

ing 12 and new 1-94) Idly

Lappegaard next applied

ess which the department
subsequently, outlined e;

better than the southern
route.
People who believe the
north -south route should
be brought to the manage-
ment committee's atten-
tion and investigated fur-
ther also argue that {this
alternative has other mer-
its.
First, they say, it offers a
good compromise between,
those communities — gen-
• trally closest to St. Paul
along the routes — that
appear to favor develop-
ment (which the two par -
a 1 I e 1 roads presumably
would foster) and those
communities further east
that want to remain rural.
S e c o n d, they say, the
swing north would avoid
disruption and removal of
the mist heavily devel-
oped residential and com-
mercial areas alongside
Hwy 12, and moving back
south at County Rd. 15
would avoid taking agri-
cultural land in eastern
Washington County,
where only relatively
sparse development oc-
curs along Hwy. 12.
Third, they say, the swing
south would Mean less im-
pact on Cimarron, an at-
tractive wily -permanent,
semi -mobile home devel-
opment emit of County
Rd. 15.
F ou rt h, they say, the
north -south combination
would be more in keeping
with the Metropolitan
Council's proppsed devel-
opment plan 'than would
the northern route. The
council p r o p o s a l labels
only extra #n e western
Washington ''County for
urban develep lent (pre-
sumably more suited to
two paratl;elhighways)
and desigtaliteitthe rest for
primarily rani, agricultur-
al uses (which does not re-
quire the high level of
service two highways
would. provide).
Beyond considerations in
the esthetic study, says
Ekern, the question of 1-
94's l o c a t i on involves
"broader issues such as
the implications for Wash-
ington County 's long-
range plan, Metro Council
guidelines and transporta-
tion considerations."
He observes that a major
issue for the management
committee is that "eastern
communities (along t h e
route) want to maintain
their rural life styles
(which means no more
than one highway), while
the wester;, ones recog-
nize their role as emerg-
ing, developing communi-
7ies."

MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING OF FEBRUARY 6, 1975
Public Hearing called to order at 7:41 by Chairperson Lundquist.
PRESENT: Major, City Council, PZC and interested citizens.
OPENING: Introductions made by Mayor Eder and guidelines for input
explained by Lundquist. The format will be a discussion of
each of the three questions raised by the mail out literature.
( The following names of participating citizens may be mis-
spelled)
WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON DETERMINING "URBAN" AND "RURAL" AREAS?
EDWARD STEVENS There should be gradual development from the high use
roads outward.
RUSSELL MILNAR Questioned what the policy was in rezoning rural areas.
RONALD NELSON
Questioned what the terms low, medium and high density
meant. The answer was given as: high 3 homes per acre,
Medium 2 homes or less per acre; low 1 home or less per
acre.
ROSALIE WAHL Resides at 10231 N. 47th Street and would like to see her
area reclassified from SFU to rural.
JAMES PARKER
GENE PELTIER
GORDON GRUNDEEN
DAVID MORGAN
ROSALIE WAHL
Lives north of Lake Jane in a rural area. He has a 165
foot frontage and has been told that sewers can run as
high as $61 a front foot. ($10,065.00) He is concerned
about what development of his area will do to the present
residents financially.
The area he is in along the Hudson Road is zoned SFU, but
in reality is between old 12 and the north route and
would be used for commercial. What is the use of these
zoning terms and could he really build a house on his
property?
How do all these development ideas and plans relate to
the Metro plan? Will 212 have 4 lanes? How much does
the plan take in?
The cost of sewers for a one-half acre lot is $10,000 to
$12,000. This is so high that it doesn't pay to live
there.
Is there a timetable for development of 212? No.
PARANTO'S PLANNNER (Name not understood) Discussed uses along the corridor.
The Metro Council is uncertain about this area. Has
Lake Elmo consulted with the Valley Branch Watershed Dist.
in making up its plans?
RONALD NELSON The east and north should be agricultural zoning.
PAUL HANSON Lives in the Tri-Lakes area. He doesn't want to see the
Crombie property rezoned into smaller than one acre lots.
KERMIT CANOPY (?) Soil conditions are good in Lake Elmo. The population
estimates may be faulty becuase builders are looking
for this type of area. Orrin Thompson says Lake Elmo
is a prime building area. What about storm water
drainage?
GENE PELTIER Had a question relating to sewers to be held until that
area was discussed.
GENE SHERWIN (?) Doesn't want the Crombie property rezoned from Agricultural.
What can he do to stop it?
NEAL GALLIFF (?) Is Lake Elmo in favor of the Airport because it is already
zoned this way/ Was Lundquist quoted properly/
HELEN MEEHAN Questioned what was required for building a house. Agric.
requires 5 acre lots, SFU 3 lots per acre. She questioned
the use of the park on county road 80.
LOU JAINIE (?) What about that road in the center of one of the slides?
This will be explained later.
MARY CASSEY (?) Against lots requiring less than one acre.
EDMOND NIELSEN
What are the Zoning lot sizes?
SFU 3 per acre; SFS 1-2 per acre; SFR less; SFE less: and
A 5 acres per house.
ROD QUENDEN (?) Lives across from the Crombie property. Likes the A class-
ification.
RUSSELL H. LINER (?) The tax base should be calculated on the zoning. there
should be 10-20% commercial so there will be enough tax
money.
DAVID JOSEPH
The attitude survey taken in connection with I94 should
be used as to the lifestyle the people want. Is there
a timeschedule for the Planner?
ROSALIE WAHL Would like the A classification for her area.
EDWARD STEVENS All the maps shown on the slides and mail out are different.
These maps should be brought up to date.
EARLE KASK
Why is SFU permitted in the clearance zones for the air-
port? These areas should be left agricultural to avoid
the problems of Mendota.
RONALD NELSON How can he combat these developers? He's opposed to them
PARRANTO PLANNER Lake Elmo should use natural dividers in laying out the
Comprehenisve plan. The slides shown all use roads as
dividers.
NANCY HANSON (?) Zoning is different on the slide map.
DAVID MORGAN
THOMAS BIDON
WILLIAM HAMMES
BRUCE WEEKS
Don't make the Comprehensive plan based on a certain
economic -tax base factors. Just follow the wishes of
the Citizens. (applause)
Told to hold question until Goals discussed. Stated that
he liked the rural atmosphere and that there should be
one acre lots in the Tri-Lakes area.
There should be Commercial Industrial in the 194 Corridor.
An interchange should be built at 194 and 19.
He lives in a rural area and wants to discourage any new
development.
WHAT SHOULD BE THE TIME TABLE FOR SEWERS?
PAULA QUAKEY (?) How many new people will be moving in and why?
EARL GOERSS
What about the sewer plan is it necessary? There should
be a study to see whether sewers are necessary. What does
the Metro Council want on sewers? Told that the Polution
Control Board is studying the need. Goerss stated that
even the one acre lot idea would be bad if fully developed.
LOWELL WEIKE (?) Lives near proposed 3M development on 39th. Lots should be
one acre or larger in the open land to the east.
Where is the high density in the Tri-Lakes area?
Where will the tie in be for the sewer?
LOU GEORGE (?)
RUSSELL MILNAR
EDMOND NIELSEN
Lots should be large enough so no new sewer is needed and
where needed there should only be short trunks.
RONALD NELSON What about other alternatives other than sewers?
DAVID MORGAN Why have sewers that will just dump in the St. Croix and
pollute there.
Why does the Metro Council have more power than the people
of Lake Elmo?
ROBERT EISCHEN There should be a cost effect study of the sewer.
FRANCIS POTT
Metro Sewer Board is doing a priliminary study of the
Tri-Lakes area and the west half of the village. There
will be a public hearing sometime late in February. No
date has been set yet.
RONALD4 NELSON The study should be directed as to whether it is necessary
at all, not to a time table for installation.
WHAT An YOUR VIEWS ON THE DRAFT STATEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES?
CHARLES BRANDON Likes Lake Elmo the way it is and won't give it up for
lesser taxes.
JAMES CLAGAN (?) As to point 14, airport business should be discouraged
not encouraged.
MARY CASSEY (?) Point 15, she is against low and moderate income housing
and apartment buildings.
9??79????9992? Against the expansion of the airport. People don't want
to live in or near an air corridor.
EARL GOERSS As to point 7, the developers have too much power and the
city should persist in its requirements and not alter them.
EDWARD STEVENS Will there be another Cimarron anywhere? No

What about this lift station idea? The developers have
too much power. The Comprehensive Plan needs to state
the objections to it within it.

face realities.

Who will keep up all these parks? The Airport corridors
should be over open land.
The people should ask for what they don't want because then
they will be assured of getting what they do want.
Give the exact list for low -high density: LD - 2 1/2 per
acre (people), MLD - 7, MD - 10, MHD - 20 and HD - 60.
WILLIAM SCHUMACHER Lives in Tri-Lakes area. What about all those elementary

Had questions about point 5, mass transit.
Would like to see a mock up or preliminary plan when
Midwest gets its draft in. There should then be another
public hearing.
He is against the road shown on the map which goes through
the Metro park. This would be 19 curving to the west.
What about mass transit and more road?
Wouldn't the Hadley extensions serve as an access for 3M?
There will be another meeting on the airport for input.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
