LAKE ELMO REGIONAL PARK: Mike Fox and Robert Lockyear presented the Council with the
.finished plan Washington County had prepared, The Met Council has not yet
completed review. The County Board has approved this plan. Armstrong stated
the City's major concern is the reclassification of the park to Regional
Park from Park Reserve, Mr. Lockyear, Washington County Planner, said the
County Board has gone on record opposing any change in status of the park;
and does not believe the County will develop the park unless the Park
Reserve status is retained. The County will voice this stand at the June 26,
public hearing on the Metro Park Plan,
LAKE =0 CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JUNE 179 1980 -2-
REGIONAL PARK: Basically, this plan indicates what will be developed within the park.
The County hopes to have acquisition completed by the end of the summer.
The entrance on the north end will be open to the childrens farm and -the boat
launch; so fishermen do not disturb the campers in the area. Final deter-
mination on this access will not be made until the park is open and functioning.
The City has opposed an active entrance to the north.
Boat launch - Met Council is exerting pressure for a boat launch facility
that will allow all types of boats to be launched. The City has stressed
that Lake Elmo is not large enough to acoomodate ski boats, as well as,
fishing, sailing, and canoe type craft. The DNR designation of boats per
acre of surface water for Lake Elmo is 17 boats, The Council feels the
Park traffic will over -tax the lake (based on the number of boats permitted
to launch at a private launch and resident boats around the lake), The
plan calls for 45 parking spaces at the launch which the Council feels
far exceeds a,reasonable number. They also disagree that limitiyzg the
parking spaces will regulate the number of boats launohing, as suggested
by Mr. Loekyear, Mr. Lockyear did say parking spaces could be out back to
conform with the State Planning Agency and Met Council policy regulating
the number of boats per acre of surface water. Mr. Lockyear stated -this
is still a conceptual plan and can be changed. The Council reitterated
its desire for a oarry-over launch and asks support of the County. The
City intends to develop a policy regulating skiing and water use; but,
looks to the County to help head -off problems before the park develops and
pressure from outside Lake Elmo makes regulations hard to initiate, The
Council would like to see the County do a, user/demand study before
any determination is made on the launch.
Swimming Beach - The City is concerned about the cost to create the pro-
posed swimming beach. Thqrfeel the south shore of the lake could provide a
good beach area, without the large expenditure suggested,
Camping - The Council reitterated its concern about the 150 spaces provided
for camping. They feel this is too much. Mr, Lockyear stated the camping
areas will be developed a loop at a time,as demand requires. RV and
general camping have been combined,
Sewage, Police, and Fire Protection - The Plan does not address these areas,
All sewage disposal will be on -site.
Mr. Lockyear said he will keep 'Lake Elmo informed as the the progress of the
plan, Again, he stated the County Board intends to defend the original agree-
ment that the Lake Elmo Regional Park be a Park Reserve, and no more than
20Y6 of the park should be developed. The County is not in a position to
maintain and operate a 29000 acre urban park.
DINNER - BEN IS ELMO INN
LEGION POND: All Council action on this project will require a 4/5 vote of the Council.
The Petition will need a specific dollar figure in order to assess the pet-
itioners for Engineering costs, should a project not be ordered, The
Engineer feels the action that would assure results is pumping, A permit
to pump into Lake Elmo will be necessary. Be estimates the cost to sink
three 30" test wells, to determine where the water table is, to be 82,500
to $!y 000, Pumping and dredging would be considered in a Feasibility Study.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JUNE 17, 1980
-3-
LEGION POND: Mottaz stated the City is obligated to take some type of action,
Morgan agreed; and, suggested the 'Valley Branch should have specific
cost figures on drilling test wells. Morgan and Mottaz do not feel filling
is an option; dredging is a consideration, provided the pond is sealed
above the water table. Should this not be feasible, pumping is the only
other approach. If the City does not want to expend the money to determine
if dredging is feasible, then permits and easement should be secured and
pumping beg6n.
The Administrator cautioned the Council that the Ishgineer.advised the
soils between Legion Pond and Lake Elmo could still form a connection and
dredging the pond could cause it to raise.
Morgan moved, seconded by Pott, to adopt Resolution 80-36, instructing the
Engineer to prepare a study on using the City pump to pump30 acre feet,
for cost estimate purposes, from Legion Pond into Lake Elmo; and ordering a
public hearing on the feasibility, July 8, 1980, at 7:30 p.m,
Motion carried 4-1. Novak voting nay. Novak does not feel pumping
kas
solved any problems in the past, it is an ongoing project, and may not cost
less in the longs -run
EQUITY HOMN3S:- CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TRANSFER FROM PATTI HOMES: Nick Patti requested
the Conditional Use Permit, issued to Patti Homes, be transfered to Equity
Homes, Inc. Equity is leasing the property from Patti Homes; and has purchased
all their inventory. Mr. Dean Roffers, Equity Homes, Inc., reviewed his
operation; and noted he has nine other locations within the Twin Cities.
Mro Roffers agreed to all the conditions and limitations listed on the permit
issued_ to Patti Homes, Inc. The building on the premises has been fixed
and approved by the Building Inspector.
Armstrong moved, seconded by Pott, to _ adopt Resolution 80-37, transferring
the Conditional Use Permit for Patti Homes, Inc., to Equity Homes, Inc.,
for the remainder of the 1980 permit period. Motion carried 5-0.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS:
Ao Oakwood Animal Hospital - Armstrong reviewed the Planning Commission
recommendation to approve the Conditional Use Permit for Oakwood Animal
Hospital..The Administrator explained the circumstances of the permit.

Use Permit, for Oakwood Animal Hospital. Motion carried 5-0,
Bo Joshua Taylor and Hapstrom Property R.ezonin - Pott moved, seconded by
Armstrong, to adopt Ordinance No. 79119rezoning the Joshua Taylor Building

C. Willard Morton - Revised Concept Plan for Tartan Meadows - The Council
reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation and the revised plan.
The Council agreed with the 20 ft. access easement to the pond and City
easement rights over the pond rather than ownership. Pott suggested
central water be required on site or by hooking up to the Cimarron plant.
Mr. Morton will contact Cimarron and see if this is possible. The Highway
Department has approved the road alignments into the subdivision.
The Council agreed this is an appropriate land use and type of development
for this area; and, it is in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JUNE 17, 1980
-4-
C. Willard Morton - Tartan Meadows - Armstrong moved, seconded by Mottaz,
to approve the Concept Plan for. Willard Morton, 'Tartan Meadows, based on
its appropriate zoning, its planned use in the Comprehensive Plan, and because
it meets the lot size requirement.
Discussion: A consideration for approval is the possibility of connecting
into the central water supply at Cimarron. The developer will supply the
City with a letter from Cimarron stating their position. Novak reitterated
the Planning Commission's concerns about the ponding area and .that each lot
meet the septic requirement, Mr. Morton stated a berm is proposed at the
back of the pond to hold back the water.
Motion carried 4-0-3. Pott abstaining, Pott expressed concern with 1-,�A
lots in this area. Because the area already has high density development,
he feels, the land should be considered for higher density. He thinks
the central water question should be given greater consideration.
JAYCEE WOMEN: Kathy Even, representing the Jaycee Women, request Council permission
to hold a. Kiddie Parade July 4th, starting at l p,m, from the City Hall
to Christ Lutheran Church, The VFW Auxiliary will co-sponsor.
Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz, to permit the Jaycee Women to hold a Kiddie
Parade, July 4th, at 1 p.m. Motion carried 5-.0.
D. Marvin Thurmes - House Moving Permit - Mr, Thurmes needs a permit
to move his house from I30 Hudson Boulevard to 9189 Lake Jane Trail N.
The Council reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation and the plans
for remodeling the Thurmes home, The Building Inspector has gone through the
house and recommends approval. The Administrator read a letter from Elmer
Richert, stating he has no objection to Mr. Thurmes moving his home next
to his. Mr. Thurmes is also requesting a variance from the minimum, house
size of 940. His hous will be 928 sq. ft., 16 ft. short of the requirement.
Phil Tschumperlin questioned the average house size in the area bbing
1300 sq, ft, He things it is more, and does not feel this house fits
into the neighborhood,because of its size. He does not feel a variance is
appropriate. Mr. Thurmes agreed to winterize (heat) the breezeway area,
thereby, meeting the house size requirement of the Ordinance.
Armstrong moved, seconded by Mottaz, to approve a permit to allow Marvin
Thurmes to move a house from 8430 Hudson Blvd, to 9189 Lake Jane Trail,
conditioned upon agreement by Mr, Thurmes and Building Inspector approval
that, upon completion, there is 940 sq. ft. of livable space. Motion
carried 5-.0.
E. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance for Non -Conforming Structures.
Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to approve Ordinance 79159 amending the
Zoning Ordinance for Non -Conforming Structures. Motion carried 5-0.
OLD BUSINESS:
A. Larson Variance - Lot Size - The Council reviewed the Engineers report
indicating that the Larson lot met 98.8/ of the over-all lot size in the
area. Seven built -on lots were calculated independently to reach this
figure; should lots l and 2 be considered as one parcel, the Larson lot
would meet 85% of the average.
When the lot size does not meet the code, City policy provides that if
that lot meets 100°/ of the average of built -on lots in the area, it is
considered buildable, provided all regulations on septic needs are met.
LAKE ELMO CITY CCtINCIL MEETING, JUNE 179 1980
-5-
Larson Variance - Pott reitterated his position, based on his previous motion,
that the lot size meet 1001/6 of the average in order to be approved. Although,
this is within 194 it does not meet the average.
Pott moved, seconded by Novak, to deny the lot size variance ;for Steven
Larson, based on the lot size in comparison to built -on lots in the area.
Discussions 11r. Larson stated that in the opinion of the City Attorney this
was a previously platted buildable site, and lot size is an indefensible
position. Mottaz stated that the Engineer's figures belpg so close, there
was stillroanfor error on the percent of accuracy. Armstrong stated
there is a hardship based on size; and, that the septic and drainfield
questions have been satisfactorily answered; and, this lot is larger than
several in the plat. Novak asked why the Larson lot was considered in
determining the average? Recalculation determined Larson's lot meets 82.4%
of the average. Mr. Larson reitterated that the housais designed for the
lot and its limitations. Mottaz stated the 82,11% of the average poses a
much greater variance from the policy than 98,8'0.
Motion carried 4-0-1, Armstrong abstaining, Armstrong is divided on the
question since the sewer questions have been answered, yet the City policy
has to be considered. Morgan qualified his nay by saying heetoo,is divided
on this particular question due to the circumstances brought out during
discussion, but at some point the Council has to draw the line and follow
its guidelines and policies. Lot size was the Council's basis for denial,
Mr. Larson stated he was contacted by the Building Inspector and he
stated he would recommend approval of this variance, as would the City
Engineer, This was verbal. Neither official was present at the meeting.
B. Easement and Management of 1005 -
Armstrong moved, seconded by Mottaz, to appoint Dave Morgan to the Valley
Branch 1005 Committee. Motion carried Morgan abstaining.
The Administrator will write Valley Branch stating the City wants them
to begin construction of the bridges over the ski trails.
C. Lake Elmo Outlet - Councilman Pott suggested the City adopt a general
maintenance policy for Lake Elmo, Eagle Point, and Tartan Park Lakes,
stating the City will maintain the outlet semi-annually from Lake Elmo so
it is not restricted. Presently, there is eight to nine inches of silt in
the entrance to the culvert. The Administrator suggested contacting the
County and getting permission for this type of work by the City. The �
policy should also state the City will minimize the water impact on Tartan
Park and maintain the elevation of Lake Elmo at the outlet elevation by
storing the water upstream on Eagle Point, within the limits of the DNR
permit. The Maintenance Department will be governed by this policy.
The Administrator will draft a policy for Council review. It will include
the water level limitations of the DNR permits. An operating permit will
still. need to be secured from DNR, The Council agreed to include the
Horseshoe Lake outlet,
D. Civil Defense Sirens - The Council reviewed the cost of sirens .for the
Tri-Lakes and Cimarron areas. There is no Federal, State or City money
available for these purchases. The Council instructed the Administrator
to contact the Cimarron homeowners Association and the Tri-Lake Association;
and, see if they would be willing to purchase this equipment.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JUNE 17o 1980
-g-
Civil Defense - The Administrator has requested the Fire Department recom-
mend
a, volunteer to serve as Civil Defense Director,. Mayor Armstrong
l was contacted by a resident in Cimarron, who is willing to serve on a
Civil Defense Committee. Residents in Cimarron are concerned about a
warning siren and a shelter in case of tornado. The Administrator will
contact the school district and discuss the possibility of a responsible
person in the area have access to Oakland. Jr. High, in case of a weather
emergency, Mottaz suggested bonding such an authority.
E. Animals at Large - Next meeting,
F. Lanes DeMontreville Street Vacations - Armstrong feels the streets in
Lanes DeMontreville Country Club should be vacated, thereby, clearing
up the plat.

vehicles on public and private property. Motion carried 5-0.
C. P%C - Liability Insurance - The Planning Commission asked the Council
to consider liability insurance. The Council did not feel the Planning
Commission would be subject to suit since they are an advisory body only.
Should a suit be initiated, the City Council has the authority to pay the
legal expense. The Administrator will tell the Planning Commission of the
Council's position.

the AMM, and not pay the 1980 dues. Motion carried 5-0.
BARRY STEPHEN- Mr. Stephen owns a house on Hill 'frail that was previously condemned
by the Building Inspector. Before the condemnation proceeds, Mr. Stephen
would like assurance that the lot could be built on once the house is
torn down, or time to repair the structure and bring it up to City Code.
The lot contains only 15,000 sq. ft. and would not be considered a buildable
lot under City policy. The Attorney is not in a position to make an
agreement, as requested. The Council said they would not guarantee Stephen
