Eder, Mayor -2- LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 Mayor Eder called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. Councillors present: Fraser, Morgan, Mottaz, and Novak. City Administrator Larry Whittaker was also present. AGENDA: Whittaker requested the Council revise the Agenda to permit Olingers' to discuss their non -conforming use at 8 p.m., to add a request for Seminar Reimbursement under Civil Defense Director and to add Animal Pound Charges and Conference for Newly Elect Officials under his report. Novak moved, seconded by Morgan, to approve the Agenda as amended. Motion carried 5-0. MINUTES: Were not ready for Council approval. CLAIMS: Morgan moved, seconded by Fraser, to approve Claims 81007 thru 81052. Mottaz asked if it were now the City policy to pay for the installation of the Christmas Lights each year? Whittaker advised the Council that the previous City Council had authorized the installation in 1980, only. Mottaz suggested *Amended that the Council consider this policy at the January*28, City 1/21/81 Council meeting. Mottaz also asked if Claim 81041 should be ... at the held up until the Valley Branch Watershed District decides if January 20... they are going to reimburse the City for some of its flood control measures from the Emergency Fund before paying the claims on petition for 1.003 and 1004. Morgan moved, seconded by Fraser, to amend his motion on the Claims to exclude 81041 until the Emergency Fund and the pipe rental are straightened out. Motion carried 4-0-1. Eder abstained. Motion on claims carried 5-0. PUBLIC INQUIRIES: A. Lee Rossow - Pole Building on Highway 36 - Lee Rossow, his father, and his brother appeared to explain the situation with the building they are constructing on the proposed plat of Tri- Star Addition. Administrator Whittaker explained that the Rossows' had to get two variances in order to complete the building. One variance would be from the requirement of the Zoning Ordinance that the principal building being built before the accessory buildings are built and the other is a variance from the requirement that an.accessory building be no more than 2,000 sq.ft. The Rossowr':s building as under construction, is 3300 sq. ft. Lee Rossow said they would like to replat the property,,once the building under construction is complete, to provide for one lot of 29 to 30 acres and nine 1 1/2 acre lots, as provided in the clustering section for Rural Residential. He said that the family could then make better use of that building for agriculture in the future. Mayor Eder said that the Council should not discuss what they want in the future; but what they should do right now about the building under construction. He asked if the Rossows' owned a barn that they could store this equipment in temporarily. Lee Rossow answered yes. Mayor Eder asked if the building under construction would lend itself to agricultural uses? Mr. Rossow answered that no one wanted a building for residential purposes at that location; that the family had asked for a General Business zoning before the Comp Plan and Zoning Ordinance were finished; and the City Council had tabled it at that time. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL.^'MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 -2- ROSSOW: Mr. Rossow went on to say that he would prefer a piece of Commercial property at that location in the future. Mayor Eder said that in order to accomplish this, the Rossows' would have to ask the City to revoke the present plat approval, remove the building and then apply for rezoning and permits to construct the building. After considerable discussion the Council asked the Rossows' what exactly they were looking for at this meeting. Lee Rossow answered that they want permission to finish construction of the building so that the building materials will not be vandalized. He said in the future they wanted to replat the property and leave the building under construction on a 30 acre lot. Several Councillors advised Mr. Rossow that the correct procedure for accomplishing what hb now wants to do would be to abandon the old plat, apply for a Comp Plan Amendment; and rezoning, and then apply for a Building Permit. The Council also advised him that they did not believe they should issue a variance to build something in violation of the ordinances, especially if the building was not something they would normally allow. Mo.ttaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to instruct the City Attorney to take whatever action is necessary to cause Rossows' to remove the building under construction. In discussion Lee Rossow said that it was his impression that an Ag building was permitted on Ag land without a permit. The Council and Administrator advised him that this was not Ag land and that the building did not meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Rossow said he did not believe he should have to tear down his building and rebuild it later simply to meet a formality. The Council informed Mr. Rossow that the variance procedure did not exist to make illegal uses legal. Motion carried 5-0. B. Dave Johnson - Possible Rezoning of the House Next to City Office for Car Repair Business - Mr. Johnson did not appear. The Council took no action. C. Olinger - Non -Conforming Use and Mining - The Administrator, Larry Whittaker, presented a sketch plan of the Olinger property and a list of the vehicles they intend to store there over time. He suggested that, if this list was acceptable to the neighbors and the City Council, that it become the limit of non-conformance for the Olinger property. The Council, through questions, tried to ascertain if this was a normal level of equipment storage on the property. Councillor Novak asked if the Olingers' had attempted to screen this storage and their mining operation from adjacent properties. Dan Olinger said that they had not really tried to although there was some screening between his home and the storage. Councillor Mottaz asked if he had always stored materials for Griffth Landscaping. Dan Olinger said that they had been storing it for at least`, six years. In discussion Mr. Olinger agreed that they would get a mining permit defining the extent of the mining, the final landscaping plan, and the time limit for mining this earth; and agreed that they would develop some type of screening between the mining and storage uses and adjacent residential properties. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 -3- OLINGER: Novak moved that the list of equipment become the limit of non -conforming use; that the use be permitted as long as Olingers' screen it from neighboring residential use; that the vehicles are parked in an orderly fashion. After some discussion she withdrew her motion for a lack of a second. Mr. Phil Tschumperlin told the Council that although the use of the Olinger property was not really different than it had been there was an increase in the vehicle storage. He said that if the property was properly screened and if there were a time limit set on the mining he would withdraw his objections to their use of the property. He also felt that a pile of miscellaneous wood should be cleaned up and that the pontoon boat that is being Amended 1/20 stored outside should be moved. Mr. and Mrs.*Ed Slindy were Ed Slinde present and said they had no objections to the extent and intensity of the use Mr. Olinger put the property to. Mottaz moved, seconded by Novak, to table the request for a Mining Permit until the site plan and schedule for the mining was submitted and a timetabe+for removal of the black dirt was submitted. This application should include a plan for screening. Dan Olinger said that the black dirt was going to be used to cover the mining so that the removal would depend on the progress in mining the dirt. The Council indicated in discussion that they wanted to spell out all the conditions for the use of the property to avoid this kind of problem in the future. Motion carried 5-0. CITY OFFICE REMODELING: After some discussion the Council agreed they did not have enough information on any of the alternatives to take any action. Mayor Eder suggested that a committee of two Council people, the City Administrator, and the Building Inspector be formed to review the alternates and make a recommendation to the Council as early as possible. Morgan moved, seconded by Fraser, to appoint Jess Mottaz and Maynard Eder to the Committee to work with the City Administrator and Building Inspector. Motion carried 5-0. ANNUAL ORGANIZATION MEETING: A. Mottaz moved, seconded by Fraser, to appoint Dave Morgan as acting Mayor. Motion carried 4-0-1. Morgan abstained. B.

Motion carried 5-0. C. Legal Paper - Fraser moved, seconded by Morgan, to designate Amended 1/20 the Washington,County review as the official legal newspaper for 1981. 'Mo ion carried 5-0. Councilmember Fraser suggested that the following comment be made in our notification to Lillie that they are the legal newspaper. "TAllie Suburban Newspapers are asked to develop a sensitivity to archaic and outworn customs which fail to recognize the existance of women on the City Council; and to develop policies of usage and style which are appropriately Amended 1/20 inclusive„" *,as the Reviow had addressed a letter to the Council 81 with "Gentlemen". LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 -4- D„ City Consultants - Mayor Eder suggested that, he and Council - member Frasere given three months to become familiar with the City Engineer, City Attorney and the City Planner. He suggested the present firms be reappointed for those several months; and that official annual appointments be made after this time., Mottaz said that all City consultants had been reviewed in the past several years except the City Attorney,, therefore, he felt the City should request proposals for a new City Attorney. Motta? moved,, seconded by Morgan, to advertise for bids for law firms to "represent the City,. in discussion Patrolman Gary Swanson said that he felt the present City Attorney did an exceptional job on prosecutions and would highly recommend retaining :the firm of Lawson, Raleigh and Marshall„ Mottaz said he had no problem with the work but felt that all con- sultants should be reviewed periodically and that this was overdue for the City Attorney. Novak said she would like a summary of all the hourly rates for all the consultants so that she might compare these. Mayor Eder said it would be hard to evaluate consultants on an hourly rate and that he would still like to postpone this review at least three months so that he Amended 1/20might get to know the presentx.Gpa ca.-1-, Mottaz said that all 81 the Council people know the members of this firm fairly well 'Renate" and that he felt that a. review could be accomplished now. Fraser said she would like to wait a few months also. Motion failed 2-3. Eder, Fraser and Novak opposed. Morgan asked if the City normally requested bids for insurance as it bad done with Consultants and other City matters? City Administrator Whittaker informed him that the Council had historically taken bids every three years on insurance; and had taken bids a year ago for the whole insurance package. Eder moved, seconded by Fraser, to appoint the Engineer, Attorney, and the Planner for three months; and to evaluate thai.r performance after those three months for permanent appointment.

A copy of this contract is attached to and hereby becomes a part of these minutes. I. Commissions: Appointments and Reporting Policy - 1. Planning Commission Appointments - Fraser indicated that she would like to review several things with respect to appointments, communications, expectations, and goals for the Planning Commission before considering appointments to the Planning Commission. Fraser moved, seconded by Novak, to delay the consideration of appointments to the Planning Commission and the Park Commission until after the goals and objectives meeting; and to ask the present members to stay on the Commission until they are reappointed or replaced. Novak reminded the Council that the City had a policy on absenteeism with respect to committee appointments. Morgan said he felt reappointment of present members should not be contingent upon this discussion about commission policies. Fraser indicated that she would be willing to reappoint present members but would like to withhold discussion on new appointments until after the goals and objectives session. Fraser withdrew her motion, Novak withdrew her second. Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to reappoint Leroy Forsblad, Betsy Halden and Nancy Prince to full three year terms and to move Vicki Gifford from alternate to the unexpired term of Laura Fraser as a full member. Motion carried 5-0. 2. Park Commission Appointments - Mottaz moved, seconded by Novak, to reappoint Ed Nielsen, Sue Dunn and Dave Morgan to full three year terms on the Park Commission. In discussion, Fraser indicated that she had two problems with this motion. First, she f.elt:.it was not appropriate to have a City Council person serving on an advisory commission and secondly, she felt that this appointment would be illegal under common law. She believes that Councillor Morgan automatically lost his seat on the Park Commission when he was elected to the City Council and that the Park Commission DL member"shorthas been operating without a Chairman,*pp man short, since mended 1/20/81 his election to the City Council four years,ago. Mottaz in- dicated that former Mayor Armstrong had found that the Attorney General's opinion sited in the Handbook for Statutory Cities referred to Park Boards only and not to Commissions. CITY OF LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 -6- Park Commission Appointments - He said he did not see any problem with Morgan serving on the Commission and the City Council and if he was not violating the law he should be kept on the Park Commission. Morgan indicated that he enjoyed working with the Park Commission and wished to remain on the Commission as long as there was no statutory problem in doing so. Mayor Eder suggested that Morgan assume an exofficio role with the Park Commission; but Morgan said he would prefer to be a full member. Fraser said that she believed the case cited may have referred to Park Boards only; but she thinks it is clear that the intent of the law is to prohibit City Council people from serving on any commission to which they appoint people. Mayor Eder suggested they discuss this matter at the goals and objectives meeting after the City Attorney gives his opinion of the legality of the appointment. Motion carried 3-1-1 Fraser opposed; Morgan abstained. The Council agreed that the legality of this matter should be confirmed with Counsel. Eder moved, seconded by Mottaz, to defer appointments of Planning Commission Alternates until after the goals and objectives session.. Motion carried 5-0. J. Council Committee & Appointments - The Council took no action and agreed to discuss this at the goals and objectives session. K. Agenda Policies - Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to change the deg ine for Agenda items to Wednesday at 4:30 p.m.; and issue the Agenda on Thursdays prior to City Council meeting. Motion carried 5-0. Dinner Meeting - Mottaz moved, seconded by Eder, to eliminate the dinner meeting and start all meetings at 7 p.m., keeping the 10:30 adjournment time. Motion carried 5-0. L. Association of Metropolitan Municipalities - The AMM was deferred until later on the Agenda. M. Licenses and Permits - Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz, to grant all the licenses listed on the Agenda including those added to the Agenda at the meeting. In discussion the Council instructed the City Administrator to contact all people with: outdoor coin operated machines for a license.- It.was noted that some business apply for and receive this license and others do not apply. Motion carried 5-0. A copy of the list of licenses is attached to and hereby made a part of these minutes. Conditional Use Permits - Lauseng Stone - Administrator Whittaker explained that Lauseng',s present use was the maximum use he would request. He suggested the Council identify the present use as the maximum use on a Conditional Use Permit; and have the Building Inspector take pictures of present use so that there might be a point from which to judge this in the future. CITY OF LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 -7- "Gaylen" am- Conditional Use Permits - Springborn's Green Acres-*Gaylan ended 1/20 Springborn explained that the loudspeakers at Green Acres would 81 no longer be used for music and that they would*c3krcct=7tkem at the hill so as to cut down on the noise from the tubing area to * ..be the adjacent residential neighborhoods. Mottaz indicated that the directed... music did not annoy the neighbors as much as the announcements and suggested that the Building Inspector check the noise levels periodically and advise Springborn if they are excessive. The speakers may have to be moved,at some point/ in order to cut down on the noise problems. Gay1;en Springborn agreed that,should this be necessary,they would see to it. John Dill / Mobile Homes in Tartan Park - The Council asked that the City Administrator secure a plan from the 3M Club for the mobile homes in Tartan Park. The Council wants to know how long they have been there, how long they plan to keep them there, to what use they are being put and whether or not there will be some permanent buildings replacing them in the future, before they issue a new Conditional Use Permit for the mobile homes in Tartan Park. At present the City Administrator reported, there are three mobile homes. One is being used for a residence for John Dill, one is being used as a ski shelter, and one is being used as a radio shack for the Radio Club. "'Salus" Ray*Salus Mobile Home - The Council instructed the Administrator emended 1/20 to find out how long the Salus'plan to stay in the mobile home 81 and to find out if Mn/DOT is ready to return the property they purchased from the*Silas' so that the Silas' may move back into the home adjacent to the mobile home. Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz, to approve the renewal of the Conditional Use Permits for Lauseng Stone, Springborn's Green Acres and Oakwood Animal Hospital. Motion carried 5-0. Mining Permits - Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to approve the mining permit for Schaefer Contracting on the property in the SW IV�4 of the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 16. Motion carried 5-0. Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to approve the Mining Permit for Hammes at 10105 loth Street N. subject to their correcting all the problems indicated by the Building Inspector by July 1, 1981. Motion carried 5-0. AMM: Mayor Eder explained that the City would not have a representative on the Association of Metropolitan, Municipalities. The AMM has representatives from each size catagory of City and not from each City. He explained that this set-up was established to protect smaller communities from the overriding influence of the two larger communities in the metropolitan area. He said he would distribute information on the AMM before the next City Council meeting so that the Council might decide if they want to join again in 1981. OLD BUSINESS: A. Olinger Use - taken care of at 8 p.m. B. Ceramic`Shop by Lauseng Stone- Whittaker explained that the CeraiD'.cSh6p---Ee--xt to Lauseng Stone met the requirements for a home occupation and felt that a Conditional Use Permit was not necessary. The Council took no action on this matter. CITY OF LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 -8- C. Brockma.n's Addition - Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to adopt R-81-1, accepting the improvements in Brockman Addition subject to all pass through charges and City fees being paid. Motion carried 5-0. D. Eden Park II - Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz, to release the bond for Eden Park Second Addition. Motion carried 5-0. E. Park Plan - Novak suggested that the Reid Property be included on the li is of City holdings in the Park Plan. Fraser asked if the entire development and Capital Improvement Plan were included in the plan to be approved tonight. Whittaker advised her that they were. She requested that the matter be tabled until she could review all of this information. ' Mottaz moved, seconded by Fraser, to table the Park Plan until January 20, 1981. Motion carried 5-0. F. Assessment Hearings - Eder monad seconded by Morgan,to table scheduling theassessment hearings until January 20, 1981, so that the City Engineer could present the alternative assessment formulas to the Council. Motion carried 5-0. G. Well #2 n Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, that the City Adminis� trator Larry Whittaker assume the responsibility for planning and securing well #2. To that end he is to meet with former Councillor Fran Pott and assume his responsibilities for the project before January 30, 1981. notion carried 5-0. H. Regional Park - Whittaker explained that the County had reacted to the City's concerns about the Regional Park at a meeting December 18, 1980. The following positions were offered by the County: 1. Boat Access - The County said they would limit the access parking lot to 1 space per 10 acres of lake; and, that they would like to separate the boat launch from the rest of the park so that it might be kept open longer hours to serve fishermen before and after the Regional Par], hours. The City Council said it was opposed to any accesses other than the one south access from the park; and said that they thought it would be easier to control and police the boat launch if it were accessible from within the park. The Council went on to say that they still prefer using the DNR standard for the size of the parking lot, which is one car per 20 acres of lake surface. And, the Council said they still believe the boat launch ought to be limited to carry-over so that Lake Elmo is not over used. 2. Pedestrain Access - The County said that they would prefer no accesses to the park other than the main access from the south. Therefore, they did not feel it would be wise to have a Pedestrain access from the south end of Lake Elmo or any other neighborhood. The Council said that, to be consistent with this rational, they would recommend that their request for ( a pedestrain access be eliminated as long as the County eliminates separate accesses for boat launch or any other facility. In short, all the access should be from the south side of the park as stated in one above. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 -9- 3. Swimming Beach - Administrator Whittaker advised the Council that the County was reconsidering the plan for the swimming beach and would report on that later. 4. South Access -Only, as stated earlier - The County has agreed that a single access for the park is desirable. This means that there would be only an emergency access from the nort4 if any access from the north. 5. Klondike Avenue - The County indicated it will dedicate the remaining portions of Klondike Avenue to the City once the boat launch is resolved. In discussion Novak said that the County should not permit any use of the park until there are adequate parking facilities, adequate public facilities, and there are adequate provisions for emergency services. Councillor Mottaz reminded the Council that the City was working on a formula to charge the County for emergency services; and encouraged the Administrator to develop those rates as soon as possible. Novak indicated that the fencing of the park was not complete; and she felt this should be done as early as possible this spring. Whittaker explained that the City Council had formally approved a plan that included the acquisition of the parcels discussed at the December City Council meeting. He said that it may not be consistent to oppose this acquisition now, considering the fact that it was part of a plan we once discussed in 1979. The Council agreed that Novak and Eder should talk to the affected property owners and find out if they object to the acquisition and report back to the Council on the 20th. Whittaker explained that the County was willing to permit us to store water on Eagle Point Lake as planned for the next two years. In the meantime, the County hopes that the City will develop an overall Surface Water Management Plan so that planning for surface water retention in -the park can be consistent with that plan. There was no additional Council discussion on it at this meeting. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. Goals and Objectives Meeting - Mayor Eder suggested a goals and objectives meeting January 27, 7 p.m. The City Council approved. B. Hockey - Lions Park - Morgan suggested that a second rink be flooded to accomodate hockey. The Council.agreed. The Council agreed that a phone should be put in the utility room to serve emergency needs of the park shelter workers. The Council had no special concerns about the Eder children selling pop at cost to skaters. ''Workers" C. Wot4 aTtl-s Comp Insurance Bids - Mottaz moved, seconded by amended 1/20 Morgan, to accept t e proposal from the League of Minnesota 81 Cities Insurance Trust as the low bidder. Motion carried 5-0. CITY OF LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 -10- ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: D. New Supervisor School - The Council said it did not feel the Maintenance Forman should be sent to Supervisor School if he was going to retire within the year. E. Public Officials Liability Insurance - The Council reviewed the bid preparedwby the zigpego insurance Agency; and asked the City Administrator to secure other bids for the January 20, City Council meeting. F. Resolution for Tom and Fran - Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz, to adopt -81-2 and R-81-3 commending Mayor Tom Armstrong and Councillor Fran Pott for their service to the City on the Planning Commission and City Council. Motion carried 5-0. The Council agreed that a party in honor Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Pott be held January 17 at 7 p.m. offering a buffet dinner at the Marco Polo restaurant. The Council agreed that the City would assume responsibility for any costs not covered by the fees for the party. They expressed their concerns that the gifts be of substantial quality. G. Other - Animal Pound Charges - Mottaz,moved, seconded by Eder to approve the changes requested by Dr. Ray Swanson for the use of his facilities as a City Pound. The rate for monthly service charge will go up from $35 to $40 and the rate for disposal of dogs will increase from $8 to $10 per animal. Motion carried 5-0. H. Seminar for Newly Elected Officials - Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz,'to pay the expenses for Novak and Fraser to attend the Conference for Newly Elected Officials. Motion carried 5-0. COUNCIL REPORTS: Mottaz and Morgan indicated they had no report. Novak asked that the Administrator find out if DNR requires a permit to cut diseased or dead trees from the lake at any time. Fraser asked that an amendment to the Surface Water Use Ordinance be considered. The amendment would provide a period,probably 1 to 4 p.m., for no wakes. She said the present ordinance provides a time for powerboats, water skiers; and fishermen, but forgot the sailors. She did not think it would be unreasonable to reserve at least two hours and possibly three during the hours when sailing is possible. Morgan indicated he was not opposed; but, said, he thought it might become difficult to enforce this ordinance. He asked that the Council wait until January 20 to consider the amendment. Mottaz said that we have already established hours that must be enforced and felt that additional hours would be no more difficult. The Council agreed to reconsider this matter at the January 20 meeting. Whittaker asked if there were any questions on the correspondence.
