7:00 p.m.
COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Lundquist, Johnson, Dodson, Dorschner, Weeks, Kreimer,
Emerson, Pearce and Hartley
COMMISSIONERS ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: Planning Director Becker and City Administrator Handt
Approve Agenda:
M/S/P: Hartley/Lundquist, move to approve the agenda as presented, Vote: 7-0, motion
carried unanimously.
Approve Minutes: August 27, 2018
M/S/P: Hartley/Dodson, move to approve the August 27, 2018 Minutes as presented,
Vote: 7-0, motion carried unanimously.
Public Hearing — Capital Improvement Plan
Handt started her presentation on the 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Plan. This is
something that comes before the Planning Commission each year. This is a multi-year
capital expenditure plan for the City's infrastructure. Lake Elmo's CIP includes capital
projects that cost at least $25,000 and have a useful life span of five years or longer.
There are a number of different funding sources including such things as debt service
fund, general fund, park dedication, grants, etc. There is a project priority ranking
system going from a one which is critical or urgent to a five which is a future
consideration.
The 2019-2023 CIP plan includes 73 projects totaling 52.5 Million dollars. There are a
number of street projects including phases 5-7 in the Village area. The large project in
the administrative/finance area is the New City Hall and Fire Station and improvements
to public works. Parks and Recreation Projects has 2 parks in particular for
improvements, Sunfish Lake Park for mountain hike trails and Pebble Park. There is a
shared park planned for Wildflower and Village Preserve. The Fire Department and
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 9-10-18

Public Works have equipment purchases planned. There are a number of stormwater
and water projects. There are some potential areas that water might be extended
based on the PFC findings. These projects would be coordinated with road projects and
are contingent on funding. The City will need a new water tower and a new well. There
will be meter change outs and a change to a radio read system.
The Planning Commission discussed the well and tower proposed and the priority of it.
Lundquist asked about well #1 and if there might be a treatment facility on it. Handt
stated that it is the oldest well and has the lowest capacity. Handt stated that the City
Engineer has said if the city is going to invest that kind of money, it should be on a well
that has capacity that is going to meet our needs. Handt stated that treatment is
incredibly expensive as opposed to finding clean water in the City. The feasibility study
will look at all of the options.
Dodson asked about the Blackford water extension project which seems very specific.
Handt stated that it is specific and is contingent on if the state will give them grant
funding. Handt stated that the 3111 Street project is also very specific. The
neighborhood filed a petition after they received notification when the PFC levels were
reduced.
Dorsch ner is wondering if there has been any discussion about the south east corner
partnering with Cimarron. Handt stated that it has been challenging working with the
management of the park.
Public Hearing opened at 7:21 pm
No one spoke and there was no written correspondence
Public Hearing closed at 7:21 pm
Dodson feels that all of the projects should have a description in the justification
section.
Hartley stated that given the growth in the south, it could put a real damper on
development if water is questionable. Hartley feels that the priority should be raised in
importance. Handt is fine to make it a number 1 as the Council has already given
approval to start looking for land.
M/S/P: Hartley/Lundquist, move to change the priority on both the elevated storage
tank and the new well and pump house from a 3 to a 1, Vote: 7-0, motion carried
unanimously.
Kreimer thinks that in regards to the Blackford's and the 3111 Street water projects. If
they have received notice of PFC's, the state should be installing GAK filters which would
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 9-10-18
C
make their water as clean as the City's water. Handt stated that the Blackford's are not
interested in a GAK filter and have been using bottled water all these years. As they
age, it is getting more cumbersome.
M/S/P: Kreimer/Hartley, move to change the Blackford project and the 311t street water
project to a number 5, Vote: 3-4, motion failed.
Johnson would agree with Kreimer that in the scheme of things these would be a lesser
priority. Handt stated that these 2 projects only includes 7 homes.
Dorschner stated that he feels the CIP is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
M/S/P: Lundquist/Dorschner, move to recommend to the City Council that the 2019-
2023 CIP is consistent with the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan with the one
amendment, Vote. 7-0, ►notion carried unanimously.
Public Hearing -- Conditional Use Permit — Thrive Behavioral Network - Tabled
Becker stated that the public hearing for the CUP for the expansion of the use at 3819
Laverne Ave can be opened and closed if anyone has any comments.
Public Hearing — Conditional Use Permit — River Valley Church
Becker started her presentation regarding the CUP for an expansion of a non-
conforming use of place of worship within the Public and Quasi -public open space
district. In 1996, this was a permitted use and a site plan was approved. In 2000, the
ordinance was changed to make places of worship conditional uses, making this a non-
conforming use. The City's non -conforming ordinance states that use may continue, but
may not expand. The applicant is requesting an expansion and therefore must obtain a
conditional use permit to bring the property into compliance.
The expansion will include 2582 square feet of education space. The education space is
considered accessory to a church. There will also be 3-4 staff people. The setbacks and
impervious requirements are met, with the exception of the parking lot setback allowed
with a variance in 2003. Staff is recommending approval with conditions. These include
that the applicant must obtain all necessary City, state and governing body permits prior
to construction. The applicant must provide written documentation demonstrating
adequate wastewater management.
Dorschner is somewhat concerned about the wastewater capacity with the added use.
Becker stated that is why the condition that Washington County look at the system as
part of approval.

Steve Erban, architect for River Valley Church, stated the septic system was designed for
more capacity. There is also a flow meter, so they can have the actual usage.
Pastor Nitzel, this congregation has been in this location since 2006 and the population
of the congregation is about the same. The reason for the classroom facilities is to not
have to expend so much energy setting up and taking down the same areas for different
uses.
Public Hearing opened at 7:50 pm
No one spoke and there was no written correspondence
Public Hearing closed at 7:50 pm
M/S/P: Kreimer/Dodson, move to add condition #3 that applicant must comply with the
City Engineer memo dated August 27, 2018, Vote: 7-0, motion carried unanimously.
M/S/P: Hartley/Lundquist, move to recommend approval of the River Valley Church
Conditional Use Permit with recommended findings and conditions of approval as
drafted by staff and as amended, Vote: 7-0, motion carried unanimously.

M.S. 412.851
ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION:
The Commission is being asked to hold a public hearing and make recommendation on the request for an
easement vacation between 9843 and 9929 Whistling Valley Rd.
PROPOSAL DETAILSIANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting that the city allow the combination of two platted lots so that a home can be
built on the property. However, an easement which divides the lots must also be vacated so that the home
will not conflict with a city easement.
Code requires that if an easement needs to be vacated the action must be discussed at a public
hearing and action must be taken by City council. This must be done prior to the approval of the
lot consolidation.
- Once the easement has been vacated the lot line adjustment may be approved administratively.
Minnesota Statue
Easement Vacation Procedure (M.S. 412.851), Council may, by resolution, vacate any street, alley, public
grounds, public way, or any part thereof, on its own motion or on petition of a majority of the owners of
land abutting said property. Easement vacations require a public hearing and 415 vote by Council only if
there has been no petition.
Minnesota Statute 462.352, Subd. 12 — Pertains to subdivision (referenced later in report).
Lot Consolidation/Lot Line Adjustment: Section 1.53,06
Criteria for Lot Line AdjustmentlLot Consolidation. Lot line adjustments exempted from platting by
Minnesota Statute 462.352, Subd. 12 and shall not require a plat or replat and may be administratively
approved, provided all of the following are met:
Each resultant parcel equals or exceeds the minimum lot dimension requirements and public road
frontage requirements for the zoning district in which the property is located or is made more
conforming through the lot line adjustment;
The lot size established in the Preliminary Plan approval stated that lots must be at least
75 acres and larger to comply with minimum lot size standards within the Shoreland
Overlay District adjacent to Natural Environmet Lakes, as to standards appear following
the 1997 amendment to the Shoreland District standards in that regard. The total size
will now be 1.67 acres.
- The lot line adjustment does not create additional lots.
The member of lots will not increase dale to the lot line adjustment.
- The lot line adjustment shall not cause any structure on the property to be made non -conforming
or in violation of the Zoning Chapter or any other provisions of the City Code.
There are currently no buildings on the property, no stnicture can become non-
conforming.
All resultant parcels shall have frontage and access on an existing improved street or access to an
existing unproved street protected by a restrictive covenant approved by the City Attorney which
includes the City as a beneficiary.
There will be no change to the frontage of the lots.
- The resulting parcels shall generally conform to the shape, character, and area of existing or
anticipated land subdivisions in the surrounding areas.
There are other lots within the development that are comparable in size to what is being
proposed. Many are rectangles of an irregular shape, staff does not believe this lot
design would be out ofplace.
- Any such lot line adjustment shall not require any public improvements.
There will not be a need for public improvements as they have already been installed.
- Any casements that become unnecessary as a result of the combination of parcels must be
vacated. A request to vacate easements shall be made concurrently with the application for lot
consolidation/lot line adjustment. Review of the easement vacation request, including aU public
hearings and City Council action shall be completed before action may be taken on the
application for lot consolidation/lot line adjustment.
Because easements need to be vacated they mast go through a review process before the
lot line adjustment/lot consolidation can be approved,
- New easements shall be established as appropriate.
Easements along the border of the property shall be maintained. However, the easement
beN)een the properties would no longer be needed,
Additional Review:
Engineering - No comments relating to the vacation as well as the consolidation. Instead comments
came up relating to the actual design/layout of the home. However, this will be dealt with during the
home review process.
Public Works - No comments relating to the vacation or the consolidation.
Watershed — The watershed district has no comment regarding the easement vacation/lot line adjustment,
However, they will require a permit and storm water management for the build.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is not expected to be a fiscal impact.
OPTIONS:
The Commission may:
• Recommend approval of the proposed Easement Vacation with recommended conditions of
approval.
• Recommend approval of the proposed Easement Vacation with amended reconunended conditions
of approval.
• Recommend denial of the proposed Easement Vacation, citing findings of fact as to why the
proposal should be denied.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend the following condition of approval:
1. The request for a lot consolidation to combine PID#s 27.029.21.44.0011 & 27.029.21.44.0010
