ORDER OF BUSINESS:
APPROVE MINUTES:
The minutes of March 4, 2008 were approved by consensus.
PUBLIC COMMENTS/INQUIRIES:
Pete Groth, 115 Myrtle St., Stillwater, read the newspaper article of the proposed Village
plan and suggested the new homes in the Village be built in a cloverleaf style, hooked
onto a central septic system and encourage passive solar.
Ann Bucheck, 2301 Legion Avenue, reported that over 70 people had submitted forms to
the City Council on the development scenarios. She read the statement on the form: 1)
the AUAR required for future development of the Old Village Area should be performed
on a maximum of 600 new units; 2) Do not spend our money on consulting fees for
additional AUAR’s studying higher densities; 3) Please refresh yourselves on the guiding
principles for development of the Old Village area; 4) please represent the citizens of
Lake Elmo and the residents of the Old Village Area on this matter, not the Met Council
or the developers; 5) change your recent plan to run a sewer line from 10th Street to 30th
Street along Lake Elmo Avenue. It is simply wrong to install this sewer line along a
developed and mature route that doesn’t want or need the system. Find a better solution.
