If the Commission denies the merger application, a law suit may follow. Ms. Holder indicated if she feels the commission has no right to deny, she may register Lake Elmo's vote on the record so that it is not included in a lawsuit.

GB Uses and OP Concept Architect Review — Planning Commission The City Planner reported the Council directed staff to request the recommendation of the Planning Commission regarding two potential Zoning Ordinance amendments: 1. To review the existing Permitted and Conditional Uses of the General Business (GB) zone for possible modifications. 2. To consider requiring all OP Concept Plans be reviewed by an architect or landscape architect (selected by the City, but review services paid by the OP applicant). That review would be in addition to staff review for quantitative ordinance compliance; and, would focus on project design compliance with the purposes and intent of the OP Ordinance. Planner Dillerud explained the Commission discussed these amendments in detail, but concluded that they were not certain enough of the intent of the Council in suggesting the amendment to render a recommendation concerning them. The Commission requested a Workshop with the Council to discuss the proposed amendment with the Council before proceeding. M/S/P Armstrong/Siedow — to add this matter to the Workshop of July 22, 2002 with the Planning Commission to receive some direction regarding the GB and OP amendment proposals. (Motion passed 5-0.)

While all conditions of the approved CUP were considered at the inspection, primary focus was on corrective actions directed following the 2001 inspection; and, corrective actions that staff had recommended to Shafer following the April 9, 2002 meeting with neighbors to the site. The findings regarding these sets of corrective direction were presented in the LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 16, 2002 City Planner's Staff report dated July 16, 2002. The City Planner will take this input to the July 22nd Neighborhood Forum. Council member DeLapp reported the Westside shoulder, built to serve as a bike pedestrian trail path, was totally covered with dirt on Jamaca Avenue. The City will remind Shafer to clean this up. Council member DeLapp commented that the residents should not have to make these complaint calls. There is a basic policy that should be enforced uniformly by the staff. Planner Dillerud responded that at least the employees that report directly to him, primarily the field inspectors, follow the policy in place. The City Planner will bring this item back to the Council after meeting with residents on July 22nd C. Old Village Deign Study - Facilitator The City Planner asked if the Council desired to follow through with a hired independent facilitator for the Old Village Design Study Public Forum. If the Council desires a facilitator, does it wish to solicit multiple proposals for this specialized work or should staff ask the party, whose abilities as a facilitator the planner is familiar with, to present her formal proposal. M/S/P Armstrong/DeLapp - to direct the City Planner to get a proposal from the professional facilitator he has observed with a courtesy copy sent to the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 5-0). D. Warning Sirens The Council discussed purchasing and installing new storm warning sirens. The Maintenance Advisory Commission and Planning Commission recommended the purchases. Planner Dillerud reported there is enough money available in the civil defense portion of the city's 2002-03 Capital Improvement Plan budget to accommodate the siren's cost. Council member DeLapp indicated that a dozen sirens warning of storms far removed from the City could significantly increase noise pollution, and discourage the expectation of an imminent threat to safety. Lake Elmo officials have for some time requested that the county establish a central corridor in which sirens would sound only for nearby weather threats, the county's existing system cannot accommodate this. If the County is putting in a siren system, we want to continue to work with the County to make the system work for Lake Elmo. The Lake Elmo Regional Park is planning on installing its own siren. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 16, 2002 M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to support warning siren funding and to purchase and install sirens at areas #1 and #2 providing that the area be moved farther to the southeast to minimize overlaps in coverage. (Motion passed 5-0). Council member Dunn stated she would rather a siren not be located in the middle of Sunfish Park, but this will be discussed at a later date. The Council postponed setting aside $9,000 annually for the 2004 component program to be discussed at the CIP budget process. The City Planner will see this agenda item comes back to the Council. E. Zoning Variance — PJKinney The City Planner explained the Council table this application and directed Staff to prepare a Resolution of Denial, incorporating the Findings of the April 3, 2002 Planning Staff Report, and other findings based on Council discussion at the June 18, 2002 Council meeting. Mr. Kinney requested that consideration of the Denial Resolution by the Council be postponed to the meeting of July 16 since he would not be able to attend the July 2"d meeting. Mr. Kinney stated he has 23 years of real estate experience. He provided a blueprint and a letter from Dale Eklin indicating a septic system could be placed on the lot. Per Mr. Kinney, a two-story walkout could be built within the gully. When asked by Attorney Filla if he had reviewed the City's regulations before be purchased the property, Mr. Kinney responded he did not review the City's regulations. Mr. Kinney stated he did not apply for a variance prior to purchasing this property and did not purchase the property contingent upon granting of the variance by the City, only contingent upon perk test approval. M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to adopt Resolution No. 2002-068, A Resolution Denying Patrick Kinney/P.J. Realty, Inc. Request for a Minimum Lot Size Zoning Variance as modified (B. WHEREAS replace "drawing" with "dwelling'; ADD: M.

(Motion passed 5-0). F. Section 520 Site Plan — Gorman's Restaurant The City Planner reported the Planning Commission recommended for approval this application to remodel and add on to the existing Gorman's Restaurant. A complete description of the work is found in the Planning Staff Report of June 5, 2002. The approval recommendation was subject to the applicant providing plan set additions and modifications regarding landscape islands, front setbacks landscaping; storm water drainage calculations; and, septic system capacity data. The Planner reported that all of this information had been supplied and reviewed/approved by the City Engineer as to LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 16, 2002 storm water and septic issues, thereby complying with the Commission direction. Attorney Filla noted that the City had approved the parking configuration in the past. Ed Gorman, applicant, indicated the mound of dirt will be used to elevate the rear parking area with the remaining dirt removed. Council member Dunn stated the site plan looks nice, but she is concerned about surface water in this area. She asked if Mr. Gorman could fix the light shining on the flag so it does not light up her bedroom window. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to approve Section 520 site plan for site modifications and building additions to Gorman's Restaurant, per plans staff dated June 4, 2002 (Site Plan/Elevations); and July 12, 2002 (landscape island and front setback landscaping), based on approval by previous actions by the City recognizing parking along Highway 5 as existing. (Motion passed 5-0.) G. Presentation to Met Council Planner Dillerud distributed 20 pages of his response to the Met Council's 37 page report and indicated it was better that he respond point by point because the Met Council will not buy the high road. These 20 pages had taken him 15 hours to complete. The response has to be ready by July 20'. The Planner explained he was called by Senator Ann Rest, Legislative Commission on Metropolitan Government, regarding a meeting at 10 a.m. on Monday where the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan is on their agenda.

LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 16, 2002 10 *The building dept. still needs to work on installation of silt fences to protect the DNR protected wetlands. In Wildflower Shores there is construction of two new houses on rather steep slopes and creating running riblets into the DNR protected wetland. *He did a calculation of what the implication would be of a third of a mile of commercial buildings and a third of a mile of multi family residential parallel with the freeway and up from it. Depending upon the kind commercial uses, there would be between 10 and 15 million sq.ft office/warehouse/commercial accommodating 15-20,000 employees. The next third of a mile, centered by Xcel powerline easements North of I-94, would anticipate 15,000 new residents.
