PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL: A. Public Inquiries Gloria Knoblauch, pointed out the Fire Station located on Laverne Avenue N. needed a new American flag. Council member Armstrong had inquired at 3M about a sensor and found that 3M does not make them any more. B. Request for payment of electricity to NSP for street lights of Fields of St. Croix Gary VanCleve, President of the Board of Directors for the Fields Community Assoc., requested that the City pay the power costs of the lights to NSP, which he estimated the cost amount to about $4,000 a year. The streetlights located in the Fields of St.Croix were not part of the original plans for the neighborhood. The Council indicated the developer had chosen to install the lights as an amenity, and the City was not responsible for their costs. The developer should have informed the Homeowners Association that part of their ongoing maintenance costs would include the streetlights. Council member DeLapp pointed out the lights were installed on City property without City approval, and are taller than what the City code permits. M/S/P Armstrong/DeLapp — to direct the City Administrator to send a letter to Gary Van Cleve, President of Fields of St.Croix Board of Directors, stating the City declines Mr. VanCleve's request for payment of electricity to NSP for street lights in the Fields of St.Croix based on reasons stated in the coversheet. (Motion passed 5-0). C. Resolution approving a Joint Use & Maintenance Agreement with Oakdale for Helmo Avenue Extension In December 1999, the Council conditionally approved the plans for the Helmo Avenue extension. The attorneys for both cities have worked out the attached agreement for this project. The three affected residents haven been notified. M/S/ DeLapp/Dunn — to approve the plans with exception that the Helmo Avenue extension will not be any wider than the width in Lake Elmo so the streets would line up. M/S/P Armstrong/Dunn — to postpone consideration until our City Engineer receives a clarification from Oakdale's engineer on what was presented in December, was it two lanes, no turn lanes, road width matches, preserve creek. (Motion passed 4-]:DeLapp: he has all the clarification he needs). Council member DeLapp asked that trees be planted every 30' on center, up to a cost of $2,000, on Lake Elmo's side. M/S/P Armstrong/DeLapp — to include clarification on landscape plan to our City Engineer. (Motion passed 5-0). After this discussion, Brian Bachmeier, Oakdale City Engineer, was in attendance at the meeting and explained the width of the road is 40' and tapers to 36' to the south. He has worked with Washington County on the intersection. The bid came in favorable, lower, and understands landscaping will be enhanced. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to approve Resolution No. 2000-017 approving the Joint Use and Maintenance Agreement with the City of Oakdale for the Helmo Avenue Extension with the understanding that landscaping would be enhanced. (Motion passed 5-0). 5. CONSENT AGENDA: LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 2, 2000 2 6. MAINTENANCE/PARK/FIRE/BUILDING: A(1). Update on Dust Control for 50°i Street Maintenance Foreman, Dan Olinger, provided information on dust control. 50`h and 15'h Street are problem streets. Linder's Greenhouse has provided dust control on 15'h Street, but the amount of business traffic has been causing a problem. The staff will review the Linder's Greenhouse CUP as to conditions on dust control for 15'h Street. The City has not applied dust control on gravel streets in the past. Dan Olinger reported 50' Street, 15" Street, Kimbro, Kirkwood, Klondike are gravel roads in the City, and he would try to get the best price for all streets that need gravel treatment. Chip seal overlay is better, and he would pick a road as an example and look into starting a dust control program for the City. M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to direct the Maintenance Foreman and City Engineer to come back with cost estimates for a double chip seal overlay and a recommendation for application for a dust control program. (Motion passed 5-0). (2). Maintenance Department Update Brush chipping update: 78 residents on Monday, May I ". The chipper was purchased for chipping storm damage and right-of-way brush trimming. It was not supposed to be used for residents to clear -cutting their land. At budget time the Council will look into the possibility of charging a fee through a utility billing program. (3). Lighting Retrofit at Maintenance Bldg Dan Olinger reported the MAC Commission recommended proceeding with Energy masters for retrofit lighting at the maintenance building, as was shown in the energy audit 4 years ago. Dan will have a representative from Energy Masters contact the administrator regarding lighting in the Council chambers. B(1). Tablyn Park Tennis Court Resurfacing The Parks Commission recommended having the Tablyn Park tennis courts resurfaced. The courts will be washed down, the cracks routed out and filled, low patches filled, and a 3 coat color system applied. This re -occurring maintenance item was last done five years ago. $4,000 was budgeted for this work. The low bid is $424.00 over budget Dermco-LaVine Construction $4,424.00 C&H Construction/Surfaces $4,485.00 American Surfaces Corporation $4,750.00 Parks Supervisor Mike Bouthilet recommended contracting with Dermco-LaVine Construction for the resurfacing of Tablyn Park tennis courts. M/S/P Armstrong/DeLapp — to proceed with Dermco-LaVine Construction, the low bidder of $4,424 for Tablyn Park Tennis Courts Resurfacing. (Motion passed 5-0). D. Fire Department: Fire Service Agreement (Mutual Aid) Attorney Filla reviewed the proposed Washington County Fire Chief's Association Fire Service Agreement (Mutual Aid Agreement) and offered three minor changes (two on page 2 and one on page 3). The Council thought a 5-year agreement was a long time. M/S/P Dimn/Siedow — to approve the Washington County Fire Chief s Association Fire Service Agreement, as amended. (Motion passed 5-0). Fire Chief Greg Malmquist gave an update on the Fire Department activities LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 2, 2000 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Order plans and specs for 2000 MSA Tom Prew indicated in his memo dated April 25, 2000, as part of the development of United Properties; the City will be constructing a MSA street through the parcel. This was discussed with the City Planner and City Attorney about the need to have a separate agreement inplace with United Properties for this work. DeLapp asked if there could be a way the City Engineer can suggest a design to differentiate a Lake Elmo street in a commercial district from a typical commercial street in Woodbury. Tom Prew responded the developer is in charge of landscaping and maintaining the island. M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to order the City Engineer to prepare plans and specifications for the street through Eagle Point Business Park. (Motion passed 5-0). 8. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: A. D&T Development/Tjosvold-Zehrer Open Space Concept Plan At its April 10, 2000 meeting, the Planning Commission adopted a motion to recommend denial of this OP Concept Plan application to plat 17 single family detached lots on this site of slightly less than 40 acres. Their findings for denial primarily address non-compliance of the Concept Plan with the purpose and intent of the OP standards with regard to permanent open space proposed; and the proposed setback of principal structures from site property lines. Tim Freeman, Folz, Freeman and Dupay, presented a new concept plan explaining that the Tjosvolds' would save three lots in front of the flag lot for their children. The Planning Commission gave the applicant five items to address. At the second PZ meeting, Freeman stated he provided information on all five items, but the PZ recommended denial. He asked who are you trying to buffer from when one OP development is backing up to another OP development. The code is clear, and this development does comply with every aspect. The property owner to the east has voiced agreement for access of roads at PZ meetings. This is the first time for a development to be tabled until acceptance of land. Mayor Hunt responded that the City would work with the Land Trust up front from now on. That will overcome the problem we have had with Land Trust decisions not to accept easements after the Council has already approved Final Plats assuming such easements, and therefore, granting bonus density for those easements. Planner Dillerud stated RE zoning is an option and does not buy the spotzoning issue. The acceptance date of application was March 6'h so a decision has to be made tonight. Referring to Section 300.07 Sub 4H Attorney Filla indicated that density credits are available if developers covey a conservation easement to a qualified Land Trust. Section 300.07 Sub 4B of the code indicates that Open Space can be preserved by an easement to a Land Trust or by an easement to the City. However density credits are only available if the easement is conveyed to a Land Trust. Council discussion followed. Council members Siedow and Armstrong had a problem with setback issue. This development was getting away from the spirit of OP, looking less rural, and is indicative of how difficult OP regulations can be met. Council member DeLapp added that by platting Outlet C, a segmented road extension would break Outlet C and D. A lateral easement is needed from the adjoining property owner for road extension. Council member Dunn would like the option for a less dense development and hates flag lots. Mayor Hunt understood what the developer is trying to do, but asked them to look at reconfiguration. When the Land Trust and the developer meet concerning what it will take for the Land Trust to accept the easement that would take care of the Flag Lot objections. The Council asked to show the entire roadway on Tjosvold site, voiced objection of a flag lot in a protected open space. This development is not laid out as a typical OP development. Tim Freeman stated that the propertyowner wants to protect open space surrounding the new house he is proposing to build. Planner Dillerud responded that in most cases you have a preexisting structure on the site, but in this case you would be creating the situation with a new structure. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 2, 2000 4 M/S/P Armstrong/DeLapp — with the applicant's agreement for an extension, the Council postpone consideration for up to thirty days, but not later than the June 6`" Council meeting, and the applicant could come back earlier if details are worked out. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Open Space Zoning Ordinance Amendments (Continued) Planner Dillerud offered a memo reflecting his suggestions on the topic based on viewing the tape of the April 18°i meeting. He asked for Council direction regarding the topic of open space parcel size approach and buffers. The Council agreed with the direction the City Planner was taking as far as 40 acre minimum site area, with a density of 6 to 8 units with a raised bar for minimum site characteristics. An idea for bonuses may be given for neighbors to join in with adjacent neighbors' OP development. The Council asked not to break full units per 20 (12 per 40). Council member Armstrong objected to the small size lots and would favor bringing the lot sizes up to a .75 acre, as a minimum. Buffer Issue: Tim Freeman asked what are you buffering from and to: Do you need a buffer between two OP developments. You want to listen to the land. Are you requiring bituminous trails? The Council asked staff to schedule a workshop with PZ, VC to view the tape of the MN Design Team meeting at Oakland Jr. H.S. The Council decided not to settle on a numerical definition of "large open space" and asked the City Planner and Attorney look into the possibility of a description of what the City is trying to accomplish with a non -numerical list of Findings to be made with each application, and provide guidance to applicants, without being arbitrary and capricious. C. Referral from Planning Commission —Non Commercial Communication Towers Planner Dillerud reported the Planning Commission, on its own initiative, drafted a proposed ordinance permitting and regulating non-commercial communication towers in all zones. The intent of the draft ordinance is to allow towers for private citizen use (amateur radio) as well as Satellite Television and solar panels. The Planning Commission required comments of the Council whether such an ordinance is desired before it schedules a hearing on the ordinance. The Council indicated the ordinance needed something more substantial. A 120' tower is way excessive and should not be permitted in the RI zoning district. At the time of drafting a Communications Tower Ordinance, the Council did an extensive review on height and location of towers. They had a concern on how towers of this height would affect the airport zone, fire tower and would a squelcher be needed for signal interference with TV's radio, garage doors, in the neighborhood. The Council favored a CUP for each tower. Solar panels were not appropriate in the ordinance. The City Plainer will advise the Planning Commission on the "sense of the Council" regarding the non-commercial tower ordinance draft. D. Appeal to Administrative Decision — Siegfried/Prokosch, 11223 & 11225 32"1 St. Administrator Kueffner received a letter from Attorney Tracy Galowitz, on behalf of John Siegfried and Fred Prokosch appealing the decision made by her pursuant to her April 3, 2000 letter where she determined that she could not administratively change the RI zoning district for the duplex which was constructed in approximately 1950. The use as a duplex should be grandfathered in and not subject to the current zoning restrictions. Attorney Filla stated the City considers this property a legal non -conforming use that can continue as such, but if it ever burnt down, it would have to use the regulations under the RI zoning district. The property owner cannot expand the structure externally, just internally. If the quonset but were torn down, to be LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 2, 2000 replaced with a garage, it would have to meet the setbacks of the RI zoning district, which will be reviewed when the Building Official submits the permit application. M S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to acknowledge the house at 11223 and 11225 32"d Street as a duplex with the stipulation that no expansion of the existing structure will be permitted. (Motion passed 5-0). E. I-94 & Old Village Water System Workshop on I-94 and Old Village Water System after Board of Review on May 10, 6 p.m. Council member Dunn asked that the cost information be sent out for review before the meeting. F. Parking Lot at 3537 Lake Elmo Avenue N. Planner Dillerud reported Joe Bush, property owner, was in the hospital so could not attend the meeting. A VBWD permit is not required for paving the existing compacted gravel parking lot at 3537 Lake Elmo Avenue N. Mr. Bush is not expanding the existing compacted gravel parking lot; he will only cover it with bituminous. Since the existing compacted gravel parking lot is currently a substantially impervious surface, no new impervious surfaces will be created. 9. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: 10. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 12. NEW BUSINESS: 13. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. Prosecuting Attorney Response to RFP The City received two responses to our ad for Prosecuting Attorney proposals; Attorney Jerry Filla, Peterson, Fram & Bergman and Kevin K. Shoeberg. Council members Armstrong and Dunn would like to invite Mr. Shoeberg for an interview to see if the City would be better served. M/S/P Armstrong/DeLapp — to invite Mr. Kevin Shoeberg for an interview for prosecuting attorney based on his submitted RFP. (Motion passed 3-2:Hunt, Siedow —do not need to interview just because we received an RFP.) B. Issues to be discussed with Washington County at May 16 Workshop Administrator Kueffner will confirm workshop date of May 16, 5 p.m. Mayor Hunt invited Commissioner Pulkrabek. Issues to be discussed with Washington County: 1. Why is the County shifting burden of maintenance costs to City? 2. General policy on signal lights 3. The County is reacting to development. Why can some cities control speed and others cannot. 4. Why not look at other options such as rumble strips on County 19 & loth. 5. What are the County's plans for the poor condition of DeMontreville Road? 6. Speed, landscaping and semaphores planned for I94, 0, 10", CSAH13.
