PUBLIC INOUIRIESANFORMATIONAL: A. Selling City Owned Land: Kraft Circle Residents Residents living on Kraft Circle appeared before the council to ask if the city was now prepared to make a decision on the sale of city -owned land. Mayor Hunt stated he thought the Council was morally obligated to stay with the values originally provided by the City Assessor, which were $50,000 if the lot was buildable or $15,000 if the lot was not buildable. Council member Armstrong thought the City should determine if there are other residents in the area interested or in need of using the land for failing systems. Council member DeLapp agreed with Armstrong's comments and added that the land should be used for failing or failed systems of houses that currently exist, and the land should not be used to accommodate septic system sites for new construction. Administrator Kueffner stated when she asked the City Assessor to put a value on the land (buildable or unbuildable) she did not specify what the property would be used for. She did point out to the assessor that the land was mismarked in the County records; it was shown as all right-of-way with a value of $100. She also suggested that the Council invite Mr. Langer to a council meeting to explain the rationale he uses when determining the value of land. M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to proceed with the sale of land in the same manner as which the land was sold to the Petersons, with the value of the land determined by the City Assessor, without further debate by the City Council. Further, that the City Assessor be invited to the next Council meeting to discuss the value of the lots. (Motion passed 4- 1:Dunn:This was tax forfeited land to begin with and doesn't see why we have to sell it.). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 16, 2002 2 B. E&H Earthmovers CUP: Terry Emerson Bruce Malkerson, Malkerson, Gilliland, Martin, speaking on behalf of his client, Terry Emerson, E&H Earthmovers, advised the Council that Mr. Emerson had decided to sell his equipment and close his business. Mr. Malkerson further advised the Council that Laidlaw Transit, Inc. was successful in getting the bid for ISD 834 bussing needs for the next two years. In order to provide the service necessary to the school district, Laidlaw must find a storage facility with a small office and indoor/outdoor storage. He added that Laidlaw and E&H have reached an agreement concerning the lease of the building and property. Mr. Malkerson stated his legal position was that Laidlaw could use this facility without a new Conditional Use Permit (CUP) or other zoning approval. The approved CUP runs with the land and it was not specific to any one particular business. He further stated that the Council chose to provide only for approval of a single use and did not specify what type of contractor in the CUP resolution. Mr. Malkerson provided a letter dated April 14, 2002 with more detailed information. (The letter will be made part of these minutes by reference.) Council member DeLapp stated that sprinkling the new building was not required when the CUP was approved, in spite of his strong objections to this omission. He stated he thought a bus company should require a sprinkler. He further added that smoke is a carcinogen and the smoke issue is very serious concern of his, and that one of the selling points of the existing CUP was that there were no vehicles on site during the summer months, and they were parked on site in the fall. Council member Dunn stated she felt the existing CUP was designed and customized specifically for E & H Earthmovers and the CUP would have to be amended for a bus company. She stated it did not make any difference if it was earth moving equipment or buses, as long as we are provided information regarding the number of busses and their hours of operation. Council member Siedow agreed that the CUP was specifically tailored to E&H Earthmovers and not transferable to a bus company. Having lived near a bus facility, his concern was that the neighbors in close proximity to this site be made aware of the request to change the use, and that the City listens to and takes into consideration their concerns The City Attorney stated that E & H Earth Movers is a commercial use allowed by a CUP in the Ag zone if it saves open space. There is smoke, lighting and other concerns related to a bus terminal that wouldn't necessarily be related to a contractor's shop. He further stated the Emerson CUP was not granted generically, but was based on information submitted by Mr. Emerson describing his business operation. Filla stated that Low Impact Agricultural regulations are broad enough to include a bus terminal, but there is a defined process the applicant should go through to amend the current CUP. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 16, 2002 M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — Based on the opinion offered by the City Attorney, the applicant/property owner should proceed with an application to amend the existing E&H Earthmovers CUP to allow a bus terminal. Further, that the applicant describe accessory issues to the existing use, submit a site plan, and proceed with the public hearing process through the Planning Commission, as required by the Lake Elmo Municipal Code. (Motion passed 5-0). 11. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: C. Charitable Gambling Ordnance John Hughes, Lake Elmo Jaycees, stated he has worked with the city administrator and they have prepared a revised ordinance for Charitable Gambling that is more consistent with State Law. Council member Armstrong requested that in the future a line item in the budget be set up for Jaycee contributions. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn - adopt Resolution 2002-025 approving a Charitable Gambling License for Lake Elmo Jaycees. (Motion passed 5-0.) M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to adopt Ordinance 97-106 amending Section 1110 of the Lake Elmo Municipal Code relating to Charitable Gambling Licensing. (Motion passed 5-0). 4. FINANCE: A. Resolution awarding Sale of Improvement Bonds The finance director reminded the Council that at an earlier financial workshop, the 1999 General Obligation Improvement Bonds were discussed since they mature on July 1, 2002, and the City does not have the funds available to retire the debt. She recommended that the City reissue the bonds in the amount of $340,000 for the remaining term of the special assessments. The bonds will be reduced from $525,000 to $340,000 using cash in the debt service fund. Ten years remain on the special assessments, so the new bond issue will mature 2012. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to adopt Resolution No. 2002-024, awarding the sale of $340,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2002A. (Motion passed 5-0.) B. Claims M/S/P Siedow/Dunn — to adopt Resolution No 2002-023 approving claim numbers 21439 through 21476 used for the April 4, 2002 payroll and claim numbers 21477 through 21530 in the amount of $51,307.62. (Motion passed 5-0.) The finance director requested the Council call a meeting on April 30th Tuesday, 5:30 for water fund revenue bond sales. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 16, 2002 4 M/S/P Siedow/Dunn — to schedule a workshop for Tuesday, April 30th, at 5:30 p.m. to discuss water fund revenue bond sales. (Motion passed 5-0). 5.

(Motion passed 5-0).

C. Summer Help — Parks Department Parks Superintendent, Mike Bouthilet, recommended that two employees, Michael Wagner and Virgil Niemann be rehired for summer help at $10/hr. Both will work part time flexible hours. The department will place an ad for a new summer employee and present a recommendation at a later date. All summer help is budgeted and monitored to stay within budget. M/S/P Dunn/Siedow — to approve the rehiring of Michael Wagner and Virgil Niemann as summer workers in the Parks Department, at a rate of $10.00 per hour, based on a favorable recommendation of the Parks Supervisor. (Motion passed 5-0). 7. MAINTENANCE/PARK/EIREBULDING: A. Update on Maintenance Dept. Activities: Stop Sign at Klondike Dan Olinger suggested removal of the "Yield" sign and place a "Stop Sign" at 32" d St. where the gravel portion meets the street. A sign could be added warning that Klondike Avenue traffic does not stop or traffic to your right will not stop. M/S/P Dunn/Siedow — to direct the Maintenance Foreman to remove "Yield" sign on Klondike Avenue going north and add "Stop Sign" to the direction of Klondike Avenue (south) that is not currently controlled and to make up two warning signs that traffic on Klondike does not stop. (Motion passed 5-0.) Expansion of storage Building Dan Olinger reported the Menards proposal is a good idea, but the price is high. He added that the building proposal would have to go to the MPCA for approval. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 16, 2002 5 Mayor Hunt reiterated the importance of all expenditures being Council approved. It was acknowledged there was a misunderstanding between city staff/city council and the city engineer, who thought he had the authorization from the Council to proceed with design plans for an expansion of a building. As an aside, the city planner reported that in 60 days the MAC/PZ Special Projects Commission would have a recommendation on community facilities. Weight Restrictions. The maintenance supervisor reported that Mn/DOT lifted weight restrictions on state roads, but Washington County's weight restrictions will be on until April 29th. He had checked the gravel roads and they are still soft. Since the County generally follows the lead of Mn/DOT, with this year being an exception, the council was asked for direction on which agency to follow. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow - to follow Washington County's date on removal of signs for weight restrictions. (Motion passed 5-0.) _Request for a 1-ton truck with dump box The maintenance supervisor reported at its April 8th meeting, MAC approved the specifications for the 1- ton truck with dump box and recommended approval. He stated the existing 1989 truck will be traded or sold. He further asked the council if the cost of this truck should be shared with the Parks Department because they will also use it. M/S/P Dunn/Siedow - to purchase 1-ton truck based on a favorable recommendation from MAC, and based on adequate funding being in place. Further, that the cost split between the Maintenance and Parks Department for this vehicle will be left up to the discretion of the department's supervisors. (Motion passed 5-0.) Gravel roads Dan Olinger asked how often should 50th Street west of Lake Elmo Avenue and Kimbro Avenue from 47th Street to 50th be graded. They have done grading once a week and Kirkwood, Manning get by every other week. Administrator Kueffner will get back with graveling road frequency policy and grading program. Council Member Dunn reported the Demontreville park area sign seems to be broken. B. Update on Building Dept. Activities: Jim McNamara The building official reported that in March there were 18 new residential permits issues and 1 new commercial permit issued. The building official also reminded residents that they couldn't place vehicles on the grass with a "For Sale" sign; it is a violation of the Lake Elmo Municipal Code. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 16, 2002 The building official also suggested that anyone that has suffered storm damage and needs a permit for roofing should check to make sure the contractor is licensed by the state of MN. The Building Official will provide a "Health, Safety and Welfare" tip for the next City Newsletter. 8. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Approve Partial Payment No. 1 for Well No. 3 Tom Prew reported the drilling is progressing as expected and recommended approval of Partial Payment No. 1.

Well #2 Review Building Colors M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to direct TKDA drawings. (Motion passed 5-0.) to use color scheme no. 1, as presented on 9. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING A. Zoning Variance Lori & Kevin Peterson, 8278 Hidden Bay Court The City Planner presented a recommendation from the Planning Commission to approve the above referenced variance application. The variance is to allow expansion of an existing structure that is non -conforming due to Shoreland OHW setback to permit a two level addition to the north (576) total square feet and a single level kitchen addition to the east (120 square feet). The entire existing structure is within the 100 foot OHW setback of Olson Lake, with the nearest point approximately 46 feet from the OHW. No additional encroachment on the OHW would result from the proposed addition. The DNR advised it has no objections to the variance. City Engineer Prew provided a memo stating the existing 201 on -site system was sufficient in size to accommodate the proposed additions. M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to adopt Resolution No. 2002-027 approving a zoning variance to allow expansion of a non -conforming structure for Lori and Kevin Peterson, 8278 Hidden Bay Court per plans Staff dated March 21, 2002, based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the Findings contained in the resolution. (Motion passed 4- 1:DeLapp-We should add a screening requirement for visible from the lake. It would be LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 16, 2002 7 appropriate to require 3 trees for screening. Visual character from Olson should be maintained even if it's in the setback.) B. Zoning Ordinance Amendment — Accessory Structure Location The city planner presented a recommendation from the Planning Commission to repeal the entire paragraph of the Code that prohibits garages/accessory structures in front of principal structures, but allows variation from that rule in certain zoning districts by resolution of the City Council. From the Commission's discussion, Dillerud indicated it was not their intent to repeal the prohibition itself, but rather to repeal the process provided for overcoming the prohibition in certain zoning districts. The concern expressed was that this provision is a part of the zoning ordinance. Other provisions of the zoning ordinance can be deviated by the Council, as the Board of Appeals, only upon Public Notice, adjacent property owner notice, Public Hearing and Planning Commission recommendation. The majority of the Commission believed this should be the process with the subject provision as well. Attorney Filla advised the staff that if the City Council supported the Planning Commission's recommendation, a public hearing would have to be called because the direction was to look at taking out the clause "and written approval by adjacent property owner to be submitted to the Zoning Administrator". M/S/P Siedow/DeLapp — to adopt Ordinance No. 97-107, amending Section 300.13 Subd.3I. requiring written approval by adjacent property owners. (Motion passed 5-0). M/S/P Siedow/Dunn — to direct the Planning Commission to look into modifications of the paragraph in Section 300.13 Subd. 3I, as presented in Rod Sessing's recommendation. (Motion passed 5-0.) C. Repeal of Highway Business Zoning District The city planner reported that the 2000 City initiative to repeal the Highway Business Zoning District stopped following the Planning Commission Hearing and recommendation on October 11, 2002. Attorney Filla indicated the text could be repealed, but the Planning Commission should hold a public hearing to establish the existing uses of the four Highway Business sites as General Business uses, and re -label the zoning map for these sites to General Business. Council member Armstrong suggested the deletion of hang gliders, which would make them a non -conforming use. D. Preliminary Plat, Final Plat & Development Agreement - Eagle Point BP 3rd Addition The city planner reported the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat of the Eagle Point Business Park 3`d Addition, which is the site of the Bremer Financial project. The City Council had previously approved a Section 520 Site Plan for the construction of an 118,000 square foot building on this 13.6 acre site. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 16, 2002 City Attorney Filla prepared a supplement to the Eagle Point 2nd Addition Development Agreement that addresses the additional developer obligation and costs for construction of utilities in that portion of Eagle Point Boulevard between the two cul-de-sacs. The Parks Dedication fee -in -lieu in the amount of $32,599.20 will be payable with the Building Permit. Attorney Filla also prepared an amendment to the Development Agreement for Eagle Point Business Park 2nd Addition, which extends the completion dates for the Eagle Point Boulevard.

There are two assessments: Utility Assessment with a principal balance of $79,459.92 and 2001 Street Assessment with a principal balance of $83,047.76. NUS/P DeLapp/Dunn — to approve the reapportionment of special assessments, as presented, on Eagle Point Boulevard, Outlot B. (Motion passed 5-0). E. Comprehensive Plan Update: Obiectine Land Owners The city planner reported that since the completion of the local hearing process on the new Comp Plan, several large land owners (including North Suburban and Dale Properties) have directed letters to the Metropolitan Council that object to the City's decision not to propose extension of the MUSA and the regional sewer that would go with that extension. The planner was advised that the Metropolitan Council staff was considering a forum at which these objecting land owners would be permitted to make its case for MUSA and sewer in Lake Elmo. He said he was asked if Lake Elmo wanted to participate. The Council indicated the objecting land owners had an opportunity to address their concerns at the public hearings and other processes State Law prescribes for local planning. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 16, 2002 M/S/P Dunn/Siedow — to advise the City staff that it is the City's official position that it is not interested in participating in the forum suggested by the Metropolitan Council staff.

He indicated that he talked to Jon Place's attorney, who said his client would be willing to sit down and work with the City to resolve the problems. A meeting will be set up with Jon Place, City Planner and the City Administrator. The city attorney asked if the City wanted to do anything about the condition of the alley since the dirt was placed there following Mr. Place's blacktopping of his parking lot. The city administrator had previously directed staff to place class 5 in the right-of-way, but the crew would first have to dig out the muck. Additionally, there is a concern that placement of the class 5 would increase an already serious drainage problem and with the swale between the carpet store and adjacent home. M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp — to direct the City Engineer to work with Xcel Energy and come back with a plan to have the poles moved closer to the blacktopped area, and create a more gradual entrance to the alley, and receive plan approval from Council.

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss personnel issues. Posted: April 11, 2002 Mary L. ueffner ' City Administrator 410 t= printed on recycled paper Planner Dillerud stated he has spoken to a facilitator, whose work he had observed, and she advised him that the City should plan on a minimum of $5,000 to handle the planning and execution of the Public Input component of the project. Dillerud added that the facilitator's task would go beyond the attendance and conduct of the forums —to strategies for marketing the forums and sorting out the forum outcomes. M/S/P Siedow/Hunt — to authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to sign an agreement for professional facilitator service with Sarah B. Harris, Real Estate Strategies, with a fee not to exceed $5,000. (Motion passed 4-1:Dunn: she hates to spend money for a facilitator.) F. Update on Metropolitan Council Meeting: Mayor Hunt reported that he, Council members Dunn and DeLapp, Administrator Kueffner, and Planner Dillerud attended this afternoon's Met Council meeting. At the meeting, the Met Council asked if the City is in a position to consider some options for future development similar to, or some iteration of, the three Future Land Use maps submitted by the Met Council; and, gave the City until tomorrow (Wed) to make a decision. All three of the options assume construction of the Lake Elmo Interceptor Sewer. If the City has interest in considering options, the Met Council would not take action on August 24`". Mayor Hunt stated he would like to have time to digest the comments; and, asked that the City Attorney look over the transcript of the Met Council meeting; and, to invite the Planning Commission to a workshop. Council member Armstrong stated the City Council should tell the Met Council that we find the three options unacceptable, and we continue to advocate self determination for the City in planning matters. We have spent years developing our comprehensive plan, and we do not want sewer in the City. Council member Dunn agreed that she does not support extensions of any sewer in the City, except the existing WOKE that will serve a large portion of the I-94 Corridor area for Business Park development. Council member Siedow indicated that even he thought the Met Council options proposed too much density. He added that the longer Lake Elmo waits to develop; the land will be too expensive to develop at a lower density. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MNUTES AUGUST 6, 2002 9 Mayor Hunt indicated we need to identify issues and make a decision based on facts. The City has no response for Met Council, but will call a workshop with the Planning Commission to review the latest issues regarding Met Council review of the Lake Elmo Plan. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow - to call a workshop for Tuesday, August 13th, 5:45 to 6:45 p.m., with the Planning Commission, to discuss and receive their reaction to the latest issues regarding Met.
