LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 4, 2000 1
Lake Elmo resident, Gloria Knoblauch, explained her family home burned down in Cumberland, WI.
Thermal sensors could have saved the house, and she suggested the City buy one sensor and maybe 3M
could buy another one. Chief Malmquist is looking into thermal sensor for dept. but they cost $10-12,000
and some are up to $25,000. The Lake Elmo Jaycees have showed some interest in purchasing a thermal
sensor for the City. Armstrong will inquire at 3M.
MAYOR HUNT RECOGNIZED FOUR MEMBERS FROM TROOP 162 WHO ARE WORKING ON
THEIR CITIZEN MERIT BADGE.
MAYOR HUNT PROCLAIMED MAY AS FOSTER CARE MONTH IN THE CITY OF LAKE ELMO
AND URGE ALL CITIZENS TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TALENTS AND ENERGIES ON BEHALF OF
CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE, FOSTER PARENTS, AND THE CHILD WELFARE PROFESSIONAL
STAFF WORKING WITH THEM DURING THIS MONTH AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
B. Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce Sheryl E. Marshall
Sheryl E-Marshall, Director of the Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce, indicated the Chamber
promotes, represents, and advocates business in the Stillwater area. Packets of information were submitted
to the Council. The cost will be $400 for the City to join the Chamber.
Kitty Rucker, President of the Lake Elmo Business Assoc., reported at its last business meeting there were
five additional businesses in attendance. The Association is working on a brochure describing services for
new residents.
C. Application to Solid Waste Environment Commission
Fred Banister, 3100 Lake Elmo Avenue N., submitted an application and indicated his interest in serving on
the Solid Waste/Environment Commission.
M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp - to appoint Fred Banister to the Lake Elmo Solid Waste/ Environment Commission.
(Motion passed 5-0.)
Council member DeLapp asked if the name could be changed to Environmental Commission. The
Administrator will leave that decision up to the Commission.
D. Stillwater Area Schools Partnership Plan
Representatives from the Stillwater Schools Partnership Plan, Becky Billingsly, Lynda Halbret, and Myrna
Renslo, a teacher at Lake Elmo Elementary School, provided Partnership Insight on how the organization
provides special funding and human resources for students and staff to enhance the quality of education in
Stillwater Area Schools.
E. Cat Ordinance (Continued)
Action on the proposed ordinance requiring the licensing of cats within the City was tabled at the last
Council meeting so that staff could provide additional information. Data from 1999 was provided showing
the total cost to taxpayers was $21,022.82. In 1999, there were 191 dogs license, which brought in $1,910
in revenues. Bills from the St. Croix Animal Shelter show a large amount of unclaimed animals. There
also quite a few "call outs", that are billed by the ACO at $35 per call. Administrator Kueffner pointed out
the problem far exceeds the licensing of cats. She would like to check with other cities to find out how
they deal with after -hour calls, or animals that owners drop off in rural areas.
M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to come back with one comprehensive program for animal control issues and
place item under Unfinished Business. (Motion passed 5-0).
5. CONSENT AGENDA:
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 4, 2000 2
A. Software License Agreement to renew Quick Access
David Brandt, Washington County G1S Support Unit, requested the City to renew its Quick Access license
at Washington County. The City has had an agreement since 1997, and the annual cost of $900 for
monthly parcel data updates has not changed.
M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to approve the Software License Agreement, which serves to renew the Quick
Access license at Washington County, and authorize the City Administrator to sign the said agreement.
(Motion passed 5-0).
B. Resignation of Diane Albrecht
M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to accept the resignation of Diane Albrecht from a secretarial position. (Motion
passed 5-0).
6. MAINTENANCE/PARK/FIRE/BUILDING:
A. Reimbursement for cell phone Fire Chief
Following the fire on Keats Avenue, the Fire Chief reported that he had put a substantial amount of time on
his personal cell phone. He asked if the City would consider paying him for the use of his phone. The
Finance Director did not feel it is necessary, as there is a cell phone on a truck or vehicle at each station.
The Fire Chief has purchased digital pagers for himself and the two Assistant Chiefs. These are in addition
to the regular fire department pagers they have. The fire vehicles are also equipped with radios, so
communication, be it requesting mutual aid, etc., should not be a problem.
The Council suggested there be a policy for reimbursement of calls to City employees on Fire Dept/City
business calls on personal cell phones and asked that the Administrator contact the Finance Director to see
if this would fit within the budget and to keep track of expenses.
M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to direct the City Administrator to draft a policy for reimbursement of City
business calls to City/Fire Dept. employees on their personal cell phones and bring back to the Council.
(Motion passed 5-0).
B. Hire Parks Summer Worker
M/S/P Armstrong/Dunn - to hire Bill Leary as a Parks Summer worker at $9/1-1r. based on the
recommendation of Parks Supervisor Mike Bouthilet. (Motion passed 5-0.)
7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT:
A. Parkview Estates Escrow Reduction
Tom Prew reported that this item was pulled off the agenda because of a question a resident had as to why
the trails were not wood chip surfaced as they bad been told. When this development was being
constructed, the former planner approved a request by the developer to upgrade the trail from woodchips to
gravel. During the two years of development activity, the gravel has become weeded over. The developer
did spray the weeds last fall. Prew recommended approval to release all remaining escrow pending the
developer's payment or final city costs.
M/S/P Dunn/Siedow — to approve the release of all escrow for Parkview Estates pending the developer's
payment of all final City costs. (Motion passed 5-0.)
8 PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING:
A. Communication from Planning Commission Workshop Request
The Village Commission and Planning Commission have discussed issues regarding that portion of the
Comprehensive Plan Update involving the Old Village Planning District. On February 28, the Planning
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 4, 2000
Commission adopted a recommendation regarding the Old Village Planning District substantially differs
than the Village Commission had recommended. That action concluded the Planning Commission
recommendations regarding the Inventory, Policy and Land Use Elements of the Comp Plan Update. On
March 22, the Village Commission discussed the action of the Planning Commission regarding Old Village
Land Use and decided to ask the Planning Commission to defer sending its recommendation to the City
Council. The Village Commission requested the Planning Commission to consider a workshop to discuss
the differing views of the two commissions regarding Old Village land use. An additional topic of the
workshop would be the topic of TDR/PDR and the County Green Corridor. Jane Harper, Washington
County Planner, would attend the workshop to explain and answer questions on those topics. The Planning
Commission concurred with the workshop request and requested participation in the workshop by the City
Council. Based on staff availability, May 1'` would be the earliest date available.
M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to establish May 1, 2000, 7 p.m., as the date for a Workshop on Old Village Land
Use Planning and PDR/TDR/Green Corridor with the Village and Planning Commissions and City Council.
(Motion passed 5-0.)
B. Report on Open Space Zoning Ordinance Amendment
City Planner Dillerud provided a memo outlining staffs understanding of the Council direction from
November, 1999. The direction the Council had given in November represented a very significant
departure from that recommended by the Planning Commission earlier in 1999 and refocusing on the
concept of density bonuses in total.
Council discussion was as follows: Council member Armstrong would be willing to make the open space
smaller if the lots can be made larger. She thought 20 acres for OP was too small. The City does not have a
hard rule as to pavement of trails. Council member DeLapp thought people like the trails and hated to
loose them. The type of trail pavement would depend on how trails will be used. Mayor Hunt indicated the
city does not want to cut down trees to put in trails because people like those amenities.
Planner Dillerud responded if it's a part of the marketing strategy, the developer would do it on his or her
own accord. Perhaps it should be mandatory. What is the relationship between increased density and
trails? Should there be bonus points for anything, OR should some of the characteristics and amenities in
the ordinance now like the village green, trails, setback of structures, be instead required, and then raise the
base allowable to account for that.
Council members Armstrong, DeLapp, and Dunn like that idea. Council members Siedow and DeLapp
would use park dedication for trails and dispense with bonus points. Tim Freeman stated if you use wood
chips for trails, which are not expensive, with the lack of maintenance, you don't have much of a nail.
Bituminous nails are expensive and difficult to build. Dillerud stated that you could use park dedication
credits for nails, and use a tighter grid for trails throughout the city.
Council member Dunn had not been a real proponent of OP because developers seemed to cram as many
lots as they can, and what is left over is in Open Space. Unusual shape parcels are hard to deal with. Some
people in cluster developments think they live in the City. People who have acreage just love it. We tried
our best, now what is the best way to retain our rural character.
The Council was in agreement with the basic requirements for OP in Planner Dillerud's memo. As far as
length to width ratio, Tim Freeman thought absolute ratio 2 '/2 to 1 more attractive ... 2 is too small. Mr.
Freeman invited the Council to see how nice the Tana Ridge dev came out by listening to the land.
As far as suggestion No. 2, raise OP to 10 acres and if you still require 50% open space, this will not work.
Too many pieces that cannot be used will drive down the lot size. As for the 500', people will ignore the
shape of the land. What are you trying to buffer from, OP from RR or RE. If you're going to use a nominal
40 acres, this should be spelled out exactly in the ordinance.
Mayor Hunt thought the last four suggestions on bonus density would have to be reviewed for impact.
Planner Dillerud responded that the intent of 500' was making the clustering invisible, internalizing it.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 4, 2000 4
Topography, vegetation can also do that. He might have to put intent statements with each suggestion. The
Council indicated to staff that they are working in the right direction and to look into ways of incorporating
the concepts of last four suggestions.
Brian Tjosvold, who is developing a 40-acre parcel next to Parkview Estates, asked that he be
grandfathered in with the same OP regulations followed in developing Parkview Estates. A road, 16"'
Street, was stubbed off from Parkview to his property. Council member Dunn told Mr. Tjosvold this
discussion on changing OP regulations just didn't come up; the Council has been hying to improve OP
since November, 1999. Planner Dillerud indicated he did not have any authority to grandfather in such a
request.
M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to direct the staff to proceed with the draft of OP Ordinance Amendments, as
suggested in the City Planner's memo, with the criteria suggested by the Planner to become mandatory,
with the recognition that exact numbers are not determined. (Motion passed 5-0.)
Planner Dillerud will have the draft OP amendments for the April 18 Council meeting, but will not be in
attendance. The Council might need to set up a Saturday workshop.
C. Staff Recommendation on Hwy 5/Manning Intersection Realignment Investigation
City Planner Dillerud provided a report on the proceedings by the Highway 36 Technical Committee. The
Planner recommended that the Council consider directing an independent and more detailed analysis of the
Highway 5/Manning realignment concept and pursue investigation of realignment alternatives for the State
Highway 5/Manning intersection, including Work Plan and cost -of -study estimates.
M/S/P DeLapp/I-lunt — to direct the City Engineer to pursue further investigation of realignment
alternatives for State Highway 5/Manning intersection and Highway 5/CSAH17 intersection. (Motion
passed 5-0).
D. Eagle Point Business Park Final Plat and PUD Development Agreement
City Planner Dillerud reported that because the HDR project (north of Hudson Road) is not as yet ready,
United Properties proposes to initially plat only the area south of Hudson Road as lots/blocks. He balance
of the site, approximately 105 aces, will be platted as a single Outlot. Outlots are not eligible for building
permits until they are replatted, and, the replat must be separately approved by the City Council.
Based on the foregoing, the manner in which the developer proposes to process this project is to replat
portions of the Outlet into buildable lots/blocks as specific site plans for tenants are approved. The first
Development Agreement becomes a master, the terms of which apply to the entire plat, whether now as
lots/blocks or as outlots. The agreement is set up to anticipate supplements that will address only that
portion of the outlots that is being Final Platted at this time. These supplements will address the public
improvements to be constructed with that portion to be platted.
Tom Prew suggested, through state aid system, build as a state aid street, then collect from developer for
his costs. By Collecting from the developer and state aid funds, which net is $200,000 would be available
to spend elsewhere in the community. Design would be priced, our engineer and theirs will work on specs.
The developer would build the street base and at the same time put in laterals. The City will then come in
and build a state aid street. The Development Contract is set up on that basis.
Washington County has said three traffic lights would be installed based on a cost sharing formula —the
City has no responsibility. Council member DeLapp stated he would not subsidize a traffic light that
doesn't benefit the entire city. Hunt suggested we could post City road with only right turn lane. The City
disagreed with Washington County's plans for traffic lights and would contact our County Commissioner
with concerns. Council member DeLapp has a problem with the 30' height for lights, the number of docks
and no odors on or off the site. Councilmenber Dunn thought the lower poles are more attractive, deeper
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 4, 2000
shield dare needed for the 30' height. Council member Armstrong voiced concern about building plans
going awry and wanted to make sure the Council saw the building plans before staff gave plan approval.
M/S/P Siedow/Hunt — to adopt Resolution No. 2000-10 approving the Final Plat and PUD Development
Agreement for Eagle Point Business Park. (Motion passed 4-1:DeLapp).
9. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: None
10. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS:
Council member DeLapp was in Boston and found many ways to accomplish planning and land use.
Council member Dunn was in California and knows what we don't want. She asked when would Upper
33`d Street be repaired since it was torn up because of a water break? City Engineer Prew responded the
maintenance crew would patch the street in the spring.
Council member Armstrong announced the Lake Elmo Fire Dept. Study Committee would meet on
Saturday, April 8, 8 a.m. to 10a.m. at City Hall.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
12. NEW BUSINESS
13. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
The Administrator will check with the City attorney if she could review applications on file, set up
interviews instead of going through the advertising process for the secretarial position.
The Council adjourned the meeting at 10:15 p.m
