S. INTERVIEW CANDIDATES FOR ALTERNATE PARP. COMMISSION OPENINGS -
Mayor Eder introduced Nancy Hanson and Arlyn Christ - applicants
for Park Commission Alternates. The Council directed the following
comments and questions toward the applicants.
--Morgan - heartly endorses Mrs. Hanson - she has been actively
involved in the community and feels she would be an asset to the
Commission.
--Fraser - would hesitate having Mr. Christ serve on the Commission
at this time because of his past and present position as JC
spokesman on the West Sunfish Ball park project - potential for
a conflict of interest .in the future in pursuing the development
of West Sunfish.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING, APRIL 20, 1982

5. PARK COMMISSION - Continued
-- A.rlyn Christ - there has never been a conflict. Presently,
the Jaycees are not pursuing a proposal for West Sunfish
Would not want to serve on the Park Commission if he were
restricted from acting as a liason or spokesman between the
Jaycees and the City.
-- Morgan - intention of the Commission in the past was to get
a mix of members with representation from area organizations.
M/S/P Morgan/Eder to appoint Nancy Hanson and Arlyn Christ as
lst and 2nd Alternates respectively to the Park Advisory Committee.
6. PARK COMMISSION ANNUAL WORK PLAN
Chairman Sue Dunn distributed the agenda for Park Committee
reports and the Five Year Capital Improvement Program for
the City parks.
Lions Park - Bill Osborn presented the layout and improvements
oF`tt-He park; and reviewed the proposed improvements as listed
in the Five Year Improvement Program, He noted that the Com=
mission is considering a horseshoe pit and volleyball area, these
are not included in the five year program, but could be scheduled
in if the Council deems them desirable. Fraser and Mottaz expressed
support of these additional improvements.
Reid Park - Al Martens presented the layout plan of the park; and
revs ewe d the proposed improvements.
f --Fraser - questioned how the Capital Improvement program ties
in with the present LAWCON grant application.
--Morgan - it is right on. Funds applied for this year will not
be received before 1983. Improvements and funds are consistent.
--Whittaker - did not include the ballfield work, picnic area,
or the playground equipment in the application. The City
Engineer estimated it would cost $19,000 to gravel the trails,
designated as paved, and brush out the the trails designated
unimproved; and $11,000 to pave the driveway and parking lot.
This would include erosion control work.
--Martens - all grading and layout should be included in the erosion
control work. This should include the ballfields.
--Whittaker - the City qualifies for funding to put in some
active recreational facilities such as the ballfield or playground
equipment.
--Fraser - Council has not yet acted on'the Plaster Plan for Reid
Park. Have to keep in mind that 'residents desire_a.-.minimum
of development of the park, Erosioncontrolis of prime importance.
--Martens - reason for pushing the sandlot ballfields is that
there are no ball facilities for _kids on this side of town.
Fields.in .tbwn are used mainly by adults. _
--Fraser - have the concern that by grading two fields, suitable
for softball:& putting in a substantial parking lot will produce
many people coming+inuand parking to play. It will not be used
for what the original intention was,- quite in contrast to what
the people in the area requested,
l --Mottaz - recommended the Council consider approval of the Reid
Park plan at the next Council meeting. This is a less active:
and scaled down plan than what was approved in the 1974 Park
Bond Plan,
--Whittaker - need approval of the Master Plan before LAWCON funds
can be applied for,
CITY COUNCIL/PARK COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 20, 1982
-3-
Reid Park - Continued
--Eder- supports the plan provided the improvements meet
the requirements of the LAWCON grant, Despite the
economies, would recommend'delaying the grading of the second
softball field.
--Morgan - chance of getting LAWCON funds is low; but,are highest
for this park because it is in a free standing rural area and
grant money was used to purchase the land. The plan reflects
what would qualify for LAWCON funding.
M/S/P Eder/Morgan to approve the Master Plan for Reid Park provided
that the NE ballfield and tennis courts be evaluated post 1986.
Discussion - MIS/ Fraser/Eder to amend the motion
to include, that the two interior picnic tables be removed
from the plan so as not to encourage people to walk to the
interior of the park; and include a statement that the tennis
courts, nature observation deck, and the shelter building be
only longterm future potential sites - not a part of an
approved plan.
--Whittaker - Park Commission recommendation deleted the picnic
tables.
--Mottaz - opposes the motion - Council retains control over
whatever goes into the park; but to start a total plan is
needed - this is a good total plan. Opposes cutting improvements
in the northern 2/3 of the park - likes picnic table idea -
people should be able to enjoy that part of the park away from
ballfields, tennis courts, etc. Recommends the plan -be approved
as a concept, as it is drawn up.
Amendment to the motion failed 1-3. Mottaz, Morgan, Eder opposed.
Motion to approve plan passed 4-0.
M/S/P Mottaz/Morgan to include erosion control, parking lot and
entrance, entrance sign and rough grading for one ballfield in
the LAWCON grant application.
Demontreville Park - Jim Yarusso reviewed the over-all plan for
Demontrevil e� Park, and outlined proposed improvements as listed
in the Capital Improvement Program. The easement path from the
interior of the Demontreville development is still unresolved.
--Whittaker - this; matter is in litigation between Derrick Land Co.
and Robert Jungman. The City Attorney advised the City to delay
making any improvements until the matter is settled.
Sunfish Park - Ed Nielsen presented the layout and outlined the
areas of use in the park noting the proposed vita Course area.
He explained the proposed improvements of the five year program.
The plan for West Sunfish (Landfill)is being considered for more
active use. A Pine Tree nursery area has been created to supplement
areas within the park. A 4A parcel is planted in corn to feed
the deer.
The Commission voted to contract Lehart Friedrich -_to plant a_16
acre,ahea in corn rotating with oats and hay for the next two years.
The third year it will be hay and left natural. The hay will be
r harvested and sold. Mr. Friedrich offered to pay the City $745 in
1982- The Commission requested Council authorization to contract
with -Mr; Friedrich.
M/S/P Mottaz/Morgan to authorize the Park Commission to lease
the 16 acre parcel to Lehart Friedrich to plant a corncropin-
1982, for'l$745.
CITY COUNCIL/PARK COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 20, 1982 -4-
Sunfish Park - Continued
--Eder Commission should be aware that the findings of the
County on areas of pollution in the West Sunfish Park area
(old landfill site) may effect plans for the park.
--Mottaz - questioned the need for a Vita Course,in Sunfish Park.
is the $5,000 cost justified?
--Morgan - much of the work can be done by the PAC and some of
the equipment eliminated, thereby reducing the cost.
--Fraser - suggested addressing a couple of policy questions before
starting the planning process for West Sunfish.
1. to what extent do we see a City park being used by people
outside the City.
2. to what extent do we want a facility self-supporting.
The Commission will take this suggestion under advisement and make
a recommendation to the Council
Tablyn Park - Sue Dunn presented the Master Plan for Tablyn Park,
and outlined the proposed improvements in the Capital Improvement
Plan.
--Eder - there has been a complaint from a resident abutting the
tennis courts about people going through his yard to and from
the courts. Has indicated he doesn't want a fence.
--Tom Monette - aware of the problem - two residents are affected.
They cannot agree to putting up a fence or planting a buffer of
trees, along the west boundary of the park.
--Eder - suggested putting a sign at the area in question stating
"Park ends - Do not trespass beyond this point"
-- The Commission agreed toanelude this in the over-all signing
program for the parks,
Pebble Park - Sue Dunn presented the Master Plan for Pebble Park
and outlined the proposed improvements., in the 5-year program.
M/S/P Eder/Morgan to instruct the Administrator to redraft the
5-Year Capital improvement Program with the -proposed changes,
for Council and Park Commission review and approval.
DINNER BREAK - TARTAN PARK
Mayor Eder presented Tom Monette and Dave Morgan with resolutions
of appreciation for their contribution to the Park Commission.
Mayor Eder reconvened the meeting at 8:10 p.m.
7. REVIEW AMENDMENTS TO MASTER PLAN FOR REGIONAL PARK RESERVE -
Mike Fox, County Planner, and Bob Lockyear, Planning Director
met with the ,Council to discuss the proposed plan amendments.
--Eder - concerns relate to the demonstration farm - what is the
goal for the farm. Believe the demonstration farms are those
presently operating in the County - County should not get in
the business directly or indirectly of a demonstration farm.
Should be held aside until some time when farming becomes limited.
--Lockyear - not my decision whether or not to have a demo farm.
Included many years ago when the Master Plan was developed.,
Facility would provide a project beyond what a typical farmer
would have available under safe supervised conditions. Presently
renting the land and`booperating with the Soil Conservation Service
so that the maintenance of the facility can be paid for.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING, APRIL 20, 1982
-5-
7. REGIONAL PARK RESERVE AMENDMENTS - Continued
- Lockyear - County will not be spending alot of dollars to
develop the demonstration farm within the next five years.
--Mottaz - 'concerned about the number of horses that could
be in the park. Mike Fox confirmed as many as 200 horses
at any given time. Does the County mean to set up a facility
in the park to accomodate this large number of animals.
--Fox - technically possible that there could be 2,000 or 200,000
horses in the park at one time.
--Mottaz - wouldn't good planning dictate setting a limit on the
number of horses.
--Fox - current capacity of land is such that it could handle 200
horses a day. Decision was based on the demand by the public -
public being.the primary user. Out of all the potential users
for the park andgroupswhere interest was solicited,. such
as archers, swimmers, bird watchers, bicyclists, etc..
Received -an ovewahelming response for a horse trail system with
over -night camping. Only other response was for a,,trail to
accomodate 4-wheel vehicles. Master Plan has provided for
these other interests, in the same vein have provided for the
horse people.
--Lockyear - referenced page 10.- number of parking spaces would
not allow 200 horses.
--Mottaz - briefly reviewed comments made at the County Park meeting.
Obvious that the horse people had the strongest lobbying group,
providing for the strongest group is a poor substitute for good
planning. Concerned that this is receiving greater priority in
the development schedule - also, although it is not included
in the plan, there was discussion on trail connections with
the Mn/Wi Trail and a connection from the Washington County
Fair Grounds to the Regional Park Reserve. Although it is -
proposed, horse trails cannot be shared by hikers, bicyclists, etc.
How can limits be imposed on some things, but not on horses.
Should be a built-in limit on the number of horses that use the
park - if not,then the 20o active use is in question.
--Eder - recommended a change under Development Concept Revegetation
and Wildlife, page 4 - delete "In the event that animal
populations become to large or disproportionate the Park Manager
will hold controlled hunts or otherwise intervene to maintain
a balance."; and add a statement•.that references that there will
be a County policy relating to.how an imbalance in animal
population will be managed. There should be no connotation
in the plan that there will be controlled hunts. There should
not be hunts in the park - there are other ways to manage over-
population. This is Eder's opinion.
—Lockyear - clarified the Council's position,that since the Council
has not discussed hunting in the park, the County Board will just
be made aware of Lhke Elmo's concern about hunting in the park.
--Eder - wants the County Board to develop a policy to intervene
to maintain a balance in the event that animal populations become
too large or disproportionate.
--Lockyear - generally this is the way over -population is handled,. -
there is a controlled hunt. This has been done in other Regional
Parks - acting on how this has been previously handled. would
want to indicate that the Park Manager will intervene to maintain
the balance - can strike "will hold controlled hunts" and remove
that connotation. Cannot say that the County at some time would
not want to do that - want to reserve the right for the County to
make a decision on how to control a population imbalance.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING, APRIL 20, 1982
7. REGIONAL PARK AMENDMENTS - Continued
--Eder - let the County Board develop a policy to be followed by
the Park Manager. Policy should not be written in the plan.
Fishinq Decks, page 7 - asked for clarification - wouldn't
-input be more appropriate from DNR?
--Fox - DNR specifically recommended local fishermen for input.
--Mottaz - questioned the change in the number of fishing decks,
from l-to 12. Won't increases such as this and the horses
put the County in a position of being over 20% active use:
--Lockyear - 20o has to do with land development. Additional
fishing docks will change this.
--Mottaz - Disagrees - a certain amount of land area is necessary
to accomodate a certain number of people. Plan should indicate
how many people a fishing deck can accomodate.
--Lockyear - share the concern about the 80/20 balance. Way to
measure the horse density in any area by determining how many
horses can be allowed on a trail at one time. This can be
done. This is true of fishing pressure on the lake. Can
develop standards on how many fishermen can be reasonably
allowed at any one time.
--Fox - original concept was to have four people per deck. This
in response to the Met.Council's questions on the liability of
one deck.
--Eder - why not put these figures in the Galan? Design should be
- centered around the number of persons or horses that canbe
accomodated in'the park "-something measurable.,
--Lockyear - will talk to DNR about fishing pressure.
--Fox - the cooperative Water Access Task Force is the Metropolitan
Task Force that has been active for several months that is
attempting to come up with reasonable use parimeterE: for public
accesses. Their proposals will be followed by the County. pg 10.
--Eder - this should be an -agency that recommends uses with.
said recommendations_ adopted by the County aCnd/or_City, the
enforcing agency.
Page 12 - Kelvin Ave. should not be a service entrance -- access
across the tracks should be closed,- the City has always maintained
this position.
--Lockyear - problems with the present entrance - entrance road
shown on the plan will have to be realigned.
--Eder - Page 14 - opposes the statement limiting the bounce on
Eagle Point to 1 ft.
--Fox - presently have a limited habitat there now. In order to
provide clean water for all uses down stream and wildlife, a
marsh is required. In order to maintain a marsh need low water
body about 3 ft. deep. Marsh cannot survive fluctuation of several
feetabovenormal poolwithoutcausing an economic hardship to
reestablish the marshland. Weighing the economics against the
stewardship - reason this is here is that the marsh won. Today,
it is poor to non-existant as a marshland.
--Morgan - lake has had considerable bounce over the years and
wildlife has survived. Lake Elmo needs the storage area that
Eagle Point can provide. For every area of marsh created aye
flooding an acre of marsh downstream. Vital to the City to have
200-300 acres of storage site on that lake.
--Al Dornfeld, Valley Branch - Watershed is concerned about the
1 ft bounce. Eagle Point has always been planned for a storage/
holding site. The ultimate plan calls for a 6 ft bounce if a
100 yr flood event occurs. Water quality is important; but presently
there is no outlet to move these waters downstream.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING, APRIL 20, 1982
-7-
7. REGIONAL PARK AMENDMENTS - Continued
-- Al Dornfeld —some cooperative arrangement should be worked
out between the County, Met Council and Valley Branch.
--Lockyear - in response to Mottaz's question on locating a land-
fill site south/west of the park. Verified the Countv would
lose designated funding if a landfill were located in the park.
If this is the only place a landfill can go, a logical consideration
would be to replace the site with additional property south/west
of the park. This area will included in the County's search
area for potential and viable sites.
-- Eder - questioned the pine tree::thinnina operation on the Leo
Raleigh farm. Would like a copy of the Forestry Department's
report with an explaination of how the trees are being disposed
of.
Disappointeo in the response the City has ree.eive4 in the
development of this -'plate. Very litte input from the City has
been put into the (plan of the park. City is concerned,.and
its efforts appear to be wasted.
--Lockyear - also disappointed, have tried very hard to implement
the kinds of ideas, that were felt to be good -and brought up
by the City, and explain the ideas that did not meet the County's
plans. -
Removed the boat launch on the -,east side of the lake and the large
parking facility for the launch -on the west side of the lake;
removed the recreational camping from the north end of the park.
These actions are a direct result of consultation with the Council.
Want to be responsive. Plan is flexible - can be changed.
Concerned about the points brought out regarding the horse issue,
fishing issue and the northern service road - these have to be
answered. Would prefer a less formal way of discussing issues.
Intent is not to have the County ride roughshod over the City.
--Morgan - reitterated concern about landfill, not only in the
park, but anywhere in the City.
--Mottaz - Lake Elmo has to fight any landfill in this area and
wants to prevent this from becoming a 3,000 acre park.
--Al Horning, Valley Branch - Until a comprehensive surface water
management plan is developed,the watershed district cannot
safely provide for high yield marshland. Eagle Point will have
to fluctuate until another facility is available.
7.A. DEMONTREVILLE ACCESS - Dave Heuer -
Deputy Hauer asked what position the City was going to take on
additonal police patrol at the access for the fishing opener.
M/S/P Eder/Fraser to authorize police patrol-@$10/hr for two
weekends, May 15 and June 4, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m, at the
Demontreville access.
8. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT? -
A. Beaubien Simple Lot Division - Administrator reviewed the
request and the planning Commission recommendation to approve
the lot division.
--Eder - recommended securing an easement agreement from the
owner of Tract C (Beaubien's daughter) to provide improved
public access to parcel C when it develops.
M/S/P Mottaz/Morgan to adopt R-82-24, A Resolution approving a
Simple Lot Division to Everette Beaubien.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING, APRIL 20, 1982
:®
8. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS:
B. Armstrong LargeLot Subdivision &' Rezoning - Tom Armstrong
presented hiequest to the Council and referred them to the
Planning Commission recommendation to approve the rezoning and
subdivision. He called the Councils attention to the set -back
requirement for buildings in ag zoning. A survey of the parcel
places his buildings 30 ft. from the lot line .: 100 ft is
required in ag areas. He does not intend to house animals Ln
the building and will sign a statement to this effect.
M/S/P Mottaz/Morgan to adopt-R-82-25, A -resolution approving
a Large Lot Subdivision for Tom Armstrong with the provision
that the building that is situated 30 ft. from the westerly
property line will not be used for housing animals.

amending the Zoning Ordinance to rezone a 14 acre parcel,
divided from Parcel 37028-2600, to agriculture.
C. Eugene 'St rum Simple Lot Division and Variance for Private Road -
Administrator itta er`reviewed the Strum request and he
Planning Commission recommendation to deny the lot division and
variance.
--Eder - this parcel was platted, evaluated and approved based
on design and engineering standards. Any change would require
reevaluation. This is not just an exception because it meets
an area factor.
--Mottaz - sees no hardship to justify the request.
M/S/P Eder/Morgan, to deny the Simple Lot Division and Variance
for Eugene Strum.
D. Gene Peltier - inquiry for Rezoning or Variance to put
Advertising signs along I-94 in RR Zone-
Mr. Peltier asked the.Council`to'revise their positon on commercial
zoning along Highway 12', so that he can relocate several advertising
signs that will be displaced by the new highway. The Highway
Department has indicated these signs have to be located on
commercial property his property is presently zoned RR. He is
concerned about the 'loss of revenue generated by these signs if
they cannot be relocated. Other property owners along Hwy 12
support rezoning a 660 ft. deep strip along the highway. Mr..
Peltier indicated Woodbury and West Lakeland have provided for
ccmmercial - why not Lake Elmo.
--Mottaz - Lake Elmo is compatible with Woodbury for staged
commercial development along the highway. Cannot rezone
to accomodate signs.
--Eder - offered to meet with area property owners and determine
what commercial. demands might be - not seen as a solid commercial
strip but mixed uses. Since the signs donEt have to be moved
for two years,.recommend holding off and come back in 6 months.
--Whittaker - Comp Plan does not call for commercial in this
area before 1990 - this was done in an attempt to stage
development with available services.
E. Annual Work Plan Meetinq, - The Council will meet jointly
with the Ccmmission as their schedules permit.

--Eder - why are other frontage roads maintained by the State?
--Council instructed the Engineer to research how frontage
roads along other major highways are handled - who owns
