HRA: The Council supported the assistance program; but had
several questions they would like answered before passing
( the resolution. The Council dad not want to attest to the

monitor it.
Mr. Helgesen said he will get the answers for the Council and
come back on April 7.
Mottaz moved, seconded by Fraser, to table any action on the
HRA resolution until April 7. Motion carried 5-0.
ASSESSMENTS:
A. Irvin Court - Administrator Whittaker asked if the Council
had any remaining questions on the project or the assessment.
Morgan expressed serious reservations about the assessments
to residents whose home have been in the area 15 to 20 years,
long before Irvin Court and Lake Jane Hills. He did not
feel these homes contribute to or benefit from the project.
He alsd did not think the residents in Lake Jane Hills should
bear the total assessment. It is his opinion that the City
is partially responsible for this project.
The Council discussed the homes immediately affected by the
Lake Jane Hills development. Morgan proposed that the City
assume half the obligation and assess the remaining amount.
Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz, to adopt 1t-81-13,to approve
payment of the easement cost,,,by the Citv, for .the.Irvin Ct. Project
for $2;,00(1. The remaining-$1,831.24 to he assessed
to the properties per -the Engineer's Assessment Roster.
Discussion: Fraser asked that the motion be clarified. Morgan
-explained his proposal, -outlined -the -background -of -the -area, -
and explained why he feels there is an inequity to those
being assessed. The motion, if passed, would "leave $1,831.24
to be assessed. Fraser asked what implicatuns this would have
on assessing other areas, In support of this action, Eder
said some of the problem was caused by the construction of
Lake Jane Trail in 1960. Adequate drainage was not provided,
thus, this is an error the Community has to live with.
Novak asked the difference between Irvin Court and Beutel Pond.
Morgan said the residents in the Irvin Court area had their
own sub -watershed that drained into Lake Jane; and, only after
development up stream did this sukr=u�atershed,:ch:an,ge. The water f
residents in the.Aeutel Pond watershed drains to 3eutel Pond
whereas this -is -.not the case with many of the residents being
assessed for the Irvin Court project, The development of Lake
Jane Hills is the primary cause of the Irvin Court Project.
Motion carried 3-2. Novak and Fraser o,pposed...
( B. Little Sunfish Lake- The Council reviewed the Administrator's
memo indicating that part of several parcels belong to cdn/DOT.
These were not listed as being owned by Mn/DOT on the tax
books available to the Citv.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 17, 1981
-3-
LITTLE SUNFISH: The Administrator recommended sending -a- --
letter to Mn/DOT to explain their share of the assessment
and to give them an opportunity to respond. The Council
agreed.
Morgan moved, seconded by Novak, to accept the report listing
the parcels that are owned by Mn/DOT and hold a public
hearing on April 7, 1981, at 8 P.M. on the revised assessments.
Motion carried 5-0.
C. Legion Pond - There were no changes or additional cor-
respondence on this assessment.
Mottaz moved, seconded by Eder to adopt R-81-19,, to adopt
the assessment roster and assessment for Legion Pond, as
presented. Motion carried 5-0.
D. Beutel Pond - The Administrator reviewed the revised
assessment roster and indicated that adjacent parcels had
been combined. The Engineer checked the Chlebeck property
and determined that only a portion of that parcel (1/2 acre)
should be included in the assessment area. The revised
roster will be sent with the hearing notice. The hearing
will be April 7, 1981 at 7:30 p.m.
WATER MAIN FEASIBILITY HEARING: Engineer Bohrer reviewed the
proposal and distributed copies of the Feasibility Report.
Earl Goerss, Gene Peltier and Clarence Urtel petitioned the
City to extend the existing watermain on Lake Elmo Avenue
to serve their properties.
The Engineer estimated the cost for the project at $74,640.
The estimated assessment rates would be $41.25 per foot plus
a $680 hook-up charge. The estimated cost would be the same
for running the line along the east or the west side of Lake
Elmo Avenue.
Audience Comments:
Gene Peltier - asked if there would be any benefit in using
the shoulder on the west side of Lake Elmo Avenue until it
was necessary to go into the road right-of-way.
Engineer Bohrer said this would create a considerable jog in
the line, easements would be necessary, and would not
result in any savings.
Earl Goerss - expressed surprise at the estimated cost. He
does not feel it is fair that the residents on the east side
of Lake Elmo Avenue should be assessed double, since the
land on the west side of the street is unbuildable. He feels
the City should share in the cost. He questioned whether the
railroad paid for half of the assessment when a line was put
down 33rd Street. If residents put in water, why should they
assume the entire cost.
CITY OF LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 17, 1981 -4-
-WATERLINE-EXTENSION:
Administrator Whittaker asked who else benefits and noted that
the residents on the east side of Lake Elmo Avenue own the
property on the west, too.
Earl Goerss - said that the residents are the only ones who
benefit, but normally there are property owners on the other
side of the line who would share the cost. He contends that
the railroad was not assessed. He also said that the property
on the west side of the street cannot be developed.
Administrator Whittaker suggested putting the waterline on
the back of the properties, so that it could serve future
development. Residents would still pay for both sides now;
but could recover part of their investment in the future
if the property were developed.
Mr. Goerss asked on which side of the road the waterstop
will be on.
Engineer Bohrer said it will be on the east side and that the
service would be augered under Lake Elmo Avenue. This would
avoid disruption the east side of the street. He said the
cost is double because there are no properties served on the
west side of the road.
Dr. Lundholm stated that the fact remains,that because residents
have lake frontage they are taxed extra and are penalized now
because there are no homes on the lake side.
Engineer Bohrer said this is a unique situation in that the
road divides the lake and the homes.
Mayor Eder asked the Engineer how(.ff.ar'the line can be extended
to the south.
Engineer Bohrer said that the Peltier property would be the
recommended limit unless the existing piece of 6" pipe is
strengthened or replaced. The 6" pipe is the limiting factor.
Bruce Folz asked if the County has approved tearing up the road
without requiring a:complete overlay.
Engineer Bohrer has contacted the County and they approve the
proposal, as presented. fie explained the loop being considered,
for the future, that would handle the fire flow pressure
Cal Bartly asked why the watermain wasn't extended when it was
put in.
Mayor Eder said the City boundary, at that time, was the controlling
factor.
Cal Bartly suggested replacing all the 6" pipe with 8" pipe and
extend the line to the end of the lake.
A'`n-

LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 17, 1981 -5-
Engineer Bohrer said this is not the current proposal.
Dr. Lundholm asked what the City's long range planning is , and
if the line is extended further, will the per foot cost be lower.
Engineer Bohrer said the cost would not be lower at this time.
If this extension were included in a larger project, then, the
unit cost would most likely go down; but both projects would have
to be done at the same time. He noted that the City has not
defined what the ultimate service area will be in this area.
Mayor Eder said that before the City defines the ultimate
service area it needs to know where &,second well should be
located.
Councillor Mottaz noted that a study of a total service area
would be very costly, and to date, the City has not budgeted
for such a study.
Mr. Goeress said the project, as proposed, is too expensive and
not feasible at this time. The other residents agreed.
Mrs. Lundholm asked if the lot size requirement would change
if water became available.
Mayor Eder said no.
Mayor Eder closed the hearing at 8:45 p.m.
Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz, to terminate the project for
the watermain extension,,on the recommendation of the property
owners, who determined the cost is prohibitive as determined
in the Feasibility Study. Motion carried 4-0-1 Novak abstained.
ENGINEER'S REPORT:
A. 201 Study Hearing -
Novak moved, seconded by Morgan, to set a public hearing on
the 201 Study, on April 28, 1981, at 7 P.M., at Oakland Jr. High.
Discussion: Eder asked the Administrator to check on the
availability of Lake Elmo Elementary fot the hearing. The
Council agreed to hold the hearing at Lake Elmo Elementary
if it is available. Motion carried 5-0.
B. Erosion Control Project - Regional Park - The report is not
yet complete.
C. Jamaca Gate - The Administrator requested Council authorization
to spend up to $1200 for materials to replace the Jamaca Gate.
The City maintenance crew will build the gate.
r Engineer Bohrer reviewed the background of the gate. Fraser
recommended that the Council make a determination on whether
.Jamaca should be permanently opened or closed. She :Felt another
gate would only be vandalizes: again.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, 1,4ARCH 17, 1981 -6-
Morgan said that when Foxfire was developed residents on
Jane Road did not want Jane Road and Jamaca connected and
that position has not changed. He would prefer to close
the road permanently and feels the residents on Jane Road
share his position.
Mottaz moved, seconded by Novak, to authorize up to $1200 for
materials to replace the Jamaca Gate. Motion carried 3-1-1.
Fraser opposed. Eder abstained. Eder would like to explore
other alternatives. ��_ �Q p again,

D. Drainage Control Policy - Brookman Addition -
The developers of Brookman Addition and Brookfield II requested
that the Council reconsider enforcing the current drainage
standard for the lst Addition of Brookman Addition as a
requirement for the Brookfield II building. Calculations
determined that most of the ponding area planned for the
2nd Addition in Brookman Addition will be necessary to
meet the current standard. The ponding provided in the 2nd
Addition was designed to serve the entire plat. The developers
want to meet the standards under which their plat was approved.
Eder stated it was his understanding, that the City would ap-
prove a ponding area adequate to serve the Brookfield II
building, then, study an overall surface water plan for the
entire area. If such a plan would not be developed, the current
City standard would prevail for the remainder of the plat.
The developers would like a determination from the Council on
this question.
Bruce Folz said two problems contribute to this situation.
First is that 4 of the 5 current councillors are new since the
Brookman Plat was approved; and, second, minutes of the meetings
do not include the discussion of the proposal or indicate ac-
ceptance of the Brookman Addition surface water plan as part of
the plat approval. Mr. Folz highlighted his recollection of
discussions during the plat review. He stated the Council, at
that time, accepted the plait designed by Tom Noyes, Bonostroo
and Associates, that provided temporary storage for one 100 yr
storm, controlled the rate of run-off, and provided a 13 acre
pond in the 2nd Addition, per the standards at that time. The
Brookman developers contend that both the City and the developers
committed to the construction and completion of the storm water
plan submitted by Mr. Noyes.
Current standards require that rate and volume must be controlled
on -site. City Engineer Bohrer estimated that 18 acre feet of
ponding will be necessary to serve the whole development and
meet current standards. The Brookman Addition, Phase I, will
require a 5 acre ponding area.
The developers desire to put in only that ponding necessary to
accomodate the proposed development rather than provide ponding
in areas not being developed.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 17, 1981 -7-
Drainage Control - Folz asked what the policy is regarding
agreements made prior to changes in regulations. He asked if
the Council feels there would be a safety hazard in following
the old rules with the old design? He stated the developers
do not think so. He further explained design alternatives
for ponding .
Mr. Folz asked the Council if they would consider accepting a
cash amount ($20,000/$30,000) to study and develop a storage
area downstream rather than require the Brookman developers
to provide permanent storage in the middle of a commercial area.
The developers would provide the temporary storage designed
for their plat. A 3 acre temporary storage area would accomodate
the lst Addition, and if the rate were restricted this 3 acres
would not have to be increased as long as only the lst Addition
were developed. Folz noted that an obstruction on the south
side of County 5 will need to be removed.
Councillor Mottaz favored the suggestion to accept cash and
agreed that Brookman Addition should not be used as a permanent
storage area. He recommended developing a method of holding
back the water longer than what is held back now until a down-
stream solution is developed.
Folz stated that since a stormwater study was made by the City
Engineer (Bonostroo), and since the City approved the plat and
permitted the developers to proceed with their development, that
the City is bound to permit the developers to continue develop-
ment under the regulations in existance at the time the plat
was approved. He said the developers would agree to put in
the 3 acre feet of temporary storage.
The Council discussed temporary storage to accomodate Brookfield II,
Phase I, and the degree of temporary and permanent storage
adequate to serve the Brookman lst Addition. The Council agreed
that any temporary ponding that might be approved would not
satisfy current policy and that the developers should be aware
they may be required to make revisions until such time as the
policy is changed or an overall surface water plan is developed.
Engineer Bohrer noted that the City's current standards closely
approximate Valley Branch standards, and questioned how Valley
Branch will view this matter.
Novak stated that she is not ready to make a decision until more
specifics are received from the City Engineer. She noted severe
problems in this area last spring when there was no additional
development.
Novak moved, seconded by Morgan, to table further action until
the Council has additional data and recommendations from the
City Engineer. Motion carried 5-0. This will be on the April 7
agenda.
BREAK: 9:35 p.m.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 17, 1981 -8-
FITZENBERGER VARIANCE - 5429 Highlands Trail N.:
Mr. Fitzenberger is requesting a 6' variance from the 10'
side yard lot.;,line requirement. Presently, his home is 4'
from the side lot line. The Council must determine if there
is a hardship or if there is a healt4 safety, or welefare problem.
Administrator Whittaker said Mr. Fitzenberger has two alternatives:
1. move the house, which is not an economical alternative or
2. purchase property from the adjacent property owner. He
stated the setback is required so that an emergency vehicle
can drive through a 10'wide area. The 10' on each lot provides
a cushion area.
Mayor Eder asked the impact of the variance on the drainage and
utility easement along the side lot. He noted the house is on
this easement according to the survey.
Ernest Cutting, attorney, said that the restrictions on this
property indicate that there will be easement shown on the
recorded plat; but the plat does not show any easements on the
lot line in question. The Fitzenberger's Certificate of Survey in-
cludes drainage and utility easements. The Council reviewed the
final plat and verified that these easements are not shown.
Bruce Folz concurred,.and said the drainage and utility easements
should not be included on the Fitzenberger certificate.
Mr. Cutting explained that Mr. Fitzenberger was shown the wrong
stakes when he purchased the lot; but that the house does not
encroach onto the next lot. After the house was complete it
was discovered that it.=was 6' too close to the side lot line.
Mr. Bob Sneen, owner of adjacdnt.lot la, said this problem could
have been avoided if Fitzenberger had surveyed his lot before
building his house; and stated the location of the Fitzenberger
house adversely affects his property. Potential buyers of his
lot will close,provided they can receive some financial compensation
for the loss of value on the property. Mr. Sneen stated he
had tried to negotiate with Mr. Fitzenberger until he 'gFitzenberger)
decided to apply for a variance. Mr. Sneen requested that the
Council deny the variance until he has resolved the problem with
Mr. Fitzenberger. He is willing to sell 8800 sq. ft. to Mr.
Fitzenberger. He is sure this will leave adequate area on his
lot for a septic and well.
Mottaz said a similar problem exists across the street; and the
City 's position is- to have the adjacent property owners
resolve the problem between themselves. He recommended the
Council take the same positon in this case.
Mr. Fitzenberger said that when he bought the lot, his realtor
called the developer's salesman and asked that he identify the
corner stakes. The salesman identified 3 of the four corners,
and sa d..the:.back corner was in line with the front stake.
Because of the angle of the lots, Mr. Fitzenberger measured to
the wrong back stake. fie also said lie needed to keep the house
to the east side of the lot because of a driveway on the west
side of his house.
CITY OF LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 17, 1981 -9-
FITZENBERGER: Eder noted that there was no testimony citing
a health hazard in support of this variance, therefore, he
said past City policy should be followed.
Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to deny the variance for
James Fitzenberger, to permit his home to be within 4'of the
side yard lot line. Motion carried 5-0.
SLAWSON REZONING: The Council reviewed the Planning Commission
recommendation to approve the rezoning of the Slawson property
to Ag from Rural Residential.
Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to adopt Ordinance 7924, rezoning
all that part of the N:_1/2 of. the SE 1/4 of PIE 1/4 of Section 3
to Agriculture from Rural Residential, for Lyle.Slawson.
Motion carried 5-0.
BRAKEMEIER - CABLE TV: Alan Brakemeier asked the Council to
support his application to establish a cable service territory
in Cimarron. Mr. Brakemeier recently purchaseld-the cable system
that was installed in Cimarron. He intends to proceed through
the State Cable Board to obtain a franchise to operate the
system. He asked if the City is interested in_establishing a
service area. He had prepared two applications, one for .
Cimarron only, and one for the entire City; and asked for
the Council's comments and direction on the applications. He
stated he would like to work with the City in the franchise process.
The system (Harborvision) that Mr. Brakemeier purchased was
declared illegal by the State Cable Board.
The Council previously discussed cable service but decided not
to pursue the issue because of little citizen interest and the
problems involved with servicing three school districts.
Fraser said there is now interest from:i.rosidents in: -,Cimarron and
recommended that the Administrator draft an outline of the
steps the City can take to study the cable issue, including
costs and time frames. She feels this a a critical issue and
should be fully studied before any decision is made.
The Council discussed the illegal system in Cimarron, and told
Mr. Brakemeier that the City is not in a position to pursue a
territory or a franchise, as proposed. Mayor Eder stated that
the system in Cimarron should remain closed until the Council
is convinced a system should be developed, then proper channels
should be followed to establish a system and award a franchise.
Mr. Don Moe submitted a survey indicating Cimarron's interest in
a cable system and asked if the City could issue a temporary permit
to Mr. Brakemeier until such time as a territory is established
and a franchise granted.
The Administrator said that a temporary permit cannot be issued
and that the City must meet the State Cable Regulations and go
through the process before granting a franchise..
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 17, 1981

CABLE TV: Mottaz moved, seconded by "Morgan, to table the cable
issue until further information and study is available
l
Discussion: Mr. Brakemeier said he would like to submit one of
the proposed applications to the Cable Board. Mayor Eder said
the issue was tabled, therefore, the City will not be involved
with either application.
Motion carried 5-0.
The Administrator said Mr. Brakemeier can submit his application
to the State without City support. He will contact Vicki Long,
Minnesota Cable Board, and have additional information available
for the April 7 meeting.
OFFICE REMODELING: The appraisal for the Meyer property on Lake
Elmo Avenue should be ready within the week. Administrator
Whittaker suggested that the Building Committee meet before
April 7 to discuss the appraisal, size of the building and
financing.
Morgan opposed any use of Park Reserve Funds to finance the
project. He suggested setting a dollar limit on the project
before considering any of the options; and opposed additional
land acquisition for a new building. Mottaz asked about the time
frame concerning the purchase of Equipment Certificates. The
Administrator will contact the bond consultants about the time
frame. The Council agreed to hold a special meeting on March 31,
at 7 p.m., if necessary.
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
A. Warning Tickets -
Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to authorize the Administrator
to spend $175 for warning tickets for Code violations for the

C. Mn/DOT-SEELER - At the time County 212 was constructed, the
County failed to deed a small triangular parcel back to the
City; which, in turn, should have deeded it back to the property
owner, Richard Seeler.
The City Attorney recommended that the City authorize a quit-
claim deed to the Seelers;... The Council agreed.
Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz, to authorize the Mayor and City
Administrator to sign a Cuit claim deed transferring that portion
of parcel 2150 of old Highway 212 right-of-way, back to R. H. Seeler.
Mr. Seeler to have the deed drawn up for the Mayor and Administrator's

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
D. Civil Defense Sirens - Tri-Lakes Area - Administrator
Whittaker said he is in receipt of several signed petitions from
residents in the Tri-Lakes area requesting Civil Defense Sirens
and agreement to pay 1/2 the cost of same. The Administrator
said that on the basis of these petitions the Council could
order a feasibility study and hold an assessment hearing.
Fraser asked who initiated this proposal and said she would like
some assurance that a substantial number of residents desire
sirens to justify the expenditure.
Renate Paulson, Civil Defense Director, said she visited about
24 homes in the area, and received a positive reaction to
installing the sirens and sharing in the cost. ($15 per residence)
The Council discussed the circumstances under which a siren would
be used, cost estimates and location sites. Molly Hedges said
she sent a form out with the Birchback asking interest in a
Civil Defense Siren for the Tri-Lakes area. She noted that
no response was received. 30 responses were received on a
similar questionaire in the Newsletter.
The Administrator said he will put an article in the Newsletter
requesting petitions for Civil Defense Sirens in the Tri-Lakes
area and indicate that assessment costs will be considered at
an assessment hearing. The Council agreed.
E. MAMA 1"4eeting - No Council interest.
