Spring Cleanup Having this in mid -May met with approval of Councillors since most citizens are not ready for cleanup until that time. B. Water Meter Reading - M/S/P Mazzara/Dunn to approve Larry Whittaker's recommendation in his 1/28 AGENDA memo that water meters not be read now.j and winter bills be estimated from last year's bills. (3 ayes) C. Appoint Alternate to Cable Commission - As a replacement for. Zona Butler, Councillors agreed with Fraser that they could all be looking for an alternate and that opening be placed in Newsletter. (Mayor Eder arrived 5:26 p.m.) 6. ENGINEER'S REPORT A. Water Tower Alarm - REF: Larry Bohrer's letter of 1/20/83; additionally, other supplier doesn't offer that item so difficult to submit alternate bids. Cost is $20 a month for service and $23 a month for telephone line (lowest rate, same as used for measured business use). Whittaker mentioned that telephone at shelter could be traded for this emergency system. M/S/P Dunn/Eder to authorize engineer to receive bids for water tower alarm, after which Council will take a further look at it. (4 ayes) CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 2/1/83 Page two e 7. AGENDA - M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara to adopt agenda as amended: Add 5.B Disposing of Surplus Pump. Delete 9.A.(1) LeRoy Rossow withdrew application. Delete 9.B.(2) Merle Olson will be coming in February 15. Add 9.B.(4) Ed Stevens - 10133 North 47th Street. Add 13.G. Rezoning Fee for Ag Preserve. 13.H. Retiring Park Committee Members Commemoration. (4 ayes) B. DAVE WISDORF, MNTCE. FOREMAN A. Snow Plowing Procedures & Policy - Wisdorf handed out color - coded map as to who plows what. Responsibilities overlap when there's a lot of snow,to help one another out. s Eder - Could we alternately reverse routes so some people are not always plowed out last? (Wisdorf - plow is used to first open main collector roads and then auxilliary roads so rotation may be difficult or not practical.) • Fraser - I question rotation because best route is worked out in advance according to snow conditions, etc. • Dunn - People at Tartan Park have complained in the past so it makes a difference to them. s Whittaker - It's a question of maximizing service to the most people and Laverne is opened first for the Fire Department; a few roads could be flipflopped but would not have much impact. • Eder - Each Councillor needs policy to tell people who call what schedule is. o Whittaker - Schedule is the County crews come out at 4:00 a.m. and City comes in at 5:30 a.m. Policy .is we will try to have everyone out in 10 hours if normal snowfall and 12+ hours for 6" snowfall and have streets sanded, etc. Danger of publicizing policy is that more people will be calling if conditions are bad and schedule is not met. It was agreed that Wisdorf and Whittaker will look at collector roads and those which may be flipflopped. B. Disposing of Surplus Pump - Fire and Maintenance Departments no longer need the portable hydrant / 4" trash pump since it is too large to conveniently store and too small to pump large lakes (only used once at Beutel Pond a week last year). It was advertised for bids for a month in a municiple magazine, and the City of Mora responded with high bid of $2,180 (one other bidder). Lake Elmo paid $3,500 for equipment and would cost $6,200 new. If sold, Maintenance would like to use their share of money to purchase smaller pump for water main breaks, etc. which would cost about $1,200. s Dunn - With economy the way it is, it is not seller's market; should be put out for more competitive bids. M/S Fraser/Mazzara to authorize sale of pump to City of Mora. Fraser/Mazzara withdrew motion and second. M/S/P Eder/Dunn that Lake Elmo offer pump for sale but additionally advertise in Minnesota city publications and newspapers. (4 ayes) 9. ORCHARD/SINCLAIR, SIMPLE LOT DIVISION - At Elizabeth Orchard's request, M S P Eder Mazzara to defer this item until full Council present and until 9:30 p.m. (4 ayes) DINNER BREAK - 6:04 p.m. CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 2/l/83 Page three (Dave Morgan arrived 7:00 p.m.) Mayor Eder reconvened the meeting at 7:04 p.m. at the City Hall. 10. I-94 CONSTRUCTION A. John Sandall of District 9 Mn/DOT - Mr. Sandall introduced assistant Mike Marttila and designer Thomas O'Ryan. Phase II drawing was presented to Council depicting bridges, bypasses for each county road, and temporary connections for local traffic. Bid opening is February 11 and Council approval needed before that time. Award is to be made mid -March, start is April 8 (215 working days so bridge and all completed by fall of 1984). Final phase scheduled .for 1984 consists of grading, mainline work, and surfacing with final completion in fall of 1985. Bypass speeds are 50 mph; access to bypasses are handled by frontage roads. Local traffic will be encouraged to take Minnehaha. • O'Ryan - Proposed Ideal Avenue matches existing jog to freeway which is probably advantageous because of third stop. ® Bohrer - Will -Mn/DOT remove barricades on 4th Street once snow is gone?_ (Marttila ,- Won't be able to be opened until frontage road is opened.) ® Whittaker - Can't frontage roads be used instead of temporary bypasses? (O'Ryan - this was looked at but truck/traffic problems.) e Eder - What is your liability assuming you could open up more roads sooner? (Marttila - Workers would have to work in traffic thus creating more liability.) s Eder - Any drainage problems? (Marttila - will work with Rydeen on his specific problem.) ® Eder - Have maps been provided Guardian Angels church? (Sandall - we've had close contact with them and will be following up.) • Dorothy Lyons - What's happening on 19 interchange? (Will be diamond interchange in future, .loop to be constructed in late 1984.) M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara to approve R83-21: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLANS FOR Mn/DOT PROJECT 8282-45,45 (94-392), CONSTRUCTION OF THE BYPASSES AND BRIDGE ON I-94. (5 ayes) B. Chuck Swanson, County Engineer - Mr. Swanson was present to answer to citizens' concerns of premature construction of four -lane facilities adjacent to I-94. Contrary to previous County planning, attempt is now being made to provide adequate bridges, walkways and bike trails when I-94 is built. Adjustments being made and provided for in CIP are: on 13, four lanes in Woodbury going south past City Hall, construction of four lanes north to Minnehaha/loth Street intersection. Since -shopping,=center one;< 19 fa_Regional .Pa!uk, will now :be a four -lane parkway planned with landscaping; nothing for 17 except widening and surfacing of shoulders since there's no access to I-94; and four lanes/divided on 15 up to and through Minnehaha/10th Street intersection. No problem closing 17, but 13 and 15 can't be closed at one time; all three are presently budgeted to be constructed in 1984; and 15 to airport, not a four -lane, is scheduled for 1986. ( 11. INTERVIEWS FOR COMMISSIONS - A. Planning Commission 1. LeRoy Rossow - Would like to see changes made in attitude toward commercial development; feels it's not inherently bad and would CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 2/l/83 Page four like to see some thoughtful planning in that area. Feels the Comp Plan could be improved,such as along Highway 36. State has made some classical mistakes in low- to moderate -income housing, and Planning Commission could determine better ways to handle this for Lake Elmo. (2) Charles Graves - Has no preconceived notions as to what should be done, would approach issues with open mind; personal interest is to see what I can contribute to preserve one of the better family - oriented communities in the area. Has lived here a little over a year; previously, due to engineering experience, was on solid waste commis- sion in Oklahoma. Feels business issues have been communicated in Newsletter fairly well, although 75-80% of a neighborhood aren't con- cerned until an issue involves them personally. Lake Elmo, along with entire Metro area, is going to grow in the next few years; and growth should be in orderly, intelligent fashion, preserving natural life that is presently here. Low- to moderate -income housing has to be looked at objectively and compassionately and in an orderly fashion. (3) Lou Anne Mehsikomer did not show up for interview. B. Parks (1) Barbara Holm - Would like to be on commission since family is interested in nature and cross-country skiing, tennis, hiking and bird watching. Important to use parks to best advantage of every- one; have to plan for people from Twin Cities using parks more and more. Immediate attention should be given to police patrol of certain parks since vandalism rate is high (such as at tennis courts and Pebble) and to debris at Pebble. Council should take Park Commission's recommendations very seriously; natural aspects have to be preserved. I feel there's a need for playgrounds, such as Pebble expanded for younger children. (2) Mary. Olson - I enjoy the parks; we're lucky to have them. Has lived in Lake Elmo for 25 years and frequently :uses Parks, Would like to see slow development and keep as much as possible in natural state. Walking paths should be improved at Reid. Dave Morgan mentioned that she participated in planning of Reid. (3) Ed Stevens - I hope development will be very slow; but when it does come, has to be planned for density which will come. We probably have enough parks now, but could make arrangements with land- owners to set aside land for parks when their property is sold such as is being done now in New England. Cimmaron could use playground facilities. Bike trails off highways (4' wide, paved) would be desir- able if there's money for it. Has lived here for 21 years. Consensus of Councillors is that they would like to interview absentee applicants at February 21 Council meeting. Whittaker will send agenda to applicants as to time decision will be made at that meeting. 12. ENGINEER'S REPORT, Cont'd... B. Waste to Energy Plant 1�) Scoping the EIS (Environtmental Impact Statement) - Environmental assessment worksheet, included in Councillor's packets, is to raise issues that have to be studied on the EIS. Sec. 32 property owners feel 20-acre site is not large enough; land use concept plan has been put together for these owners. Logical requests for scoping will be brought up at 2/10 hearing, 7 p.m., Tartan High School. Whittaker will be on agenda to express Lake Elmo's concerns to Metro Council and encourages anyone else to be present with their concerns. Whittaker will give Council items he will be presenting at the hearing. CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 2/1/83 Page five • Morgan recommended, with agreement of Councillors, that Whittaker ( include the question: What happens to residue (ash), ferric metals removed after burning? (2) Topographic Mapping - Bohrer said bid had been received for $4,315 (City work) and $2,645 (County work). Lake Elmo wants additional acreage mapped for sewer depth, where drainage facilities are needed, watersheds, etc.; and County will do it but hasn't assigned cost responsibilities yet. • Eder suggested that Whittaker write them a letter restating City's intent and reasons for additional mapping. (3) Budget for Plant/Planning - • Whittaker - We've got to get commitment from property owners as well as from County that they will pay for this. • Fraser - In favor of step to go ahead and get commitment but not sure that all will be in favor of it; we have to slow down City proceedings which are going faster than land owners'; we "can't lead the race." (4) Chairman of Board - • Fraser - Would Ramsey County see this as three Washington Cty people? • Mazzara - Thinks City should push it; no room for political play. • Whittaker - Feels Councillor or himself as Administrator should personally talk to Waste -to -Energy Commission such that we're concerned about Lake Elmo, not Washington County, followed up with a letter. We have to get back in and get joint powers board functioning since decisions are already being made by engineer and financial consultant. Whittaker will set up meeting with himself, Mazzara, Warren Schaber and Artie Schaefer to discuss the above. (5) Legislation on Districts, Waste Management - Councillors were in agreement with Whittaker's suggestion that future District Boards be required to have City representation. State representatives and senators (particularly Chuck Hoffman) will be contacted. 13. COUNCILLOR'S REPORTS - Dave Morgan suggested that Lake Elmo should voice some opposition to proposed swimming facility at Regional Park, since natural beach on lake wasn't given a fair shake. • Fraser - Agrees completely, at least get a letter off on it and say it again at March 22 meeting. M/S/P Morgan/Fraser directing Whittaker to write a letter stating that Council would like natural beach on -the -lake considered further since some of assumptions regarding unsuitability of lake beach were not proven to Council's satisfaction. (4 ayes; Mazarra nay) 14. OLD BUSINESS, Cont'd... C. St. John's Hospital Plans - Fraser said it would be more responsible for Lake Elmo not to take any action on this presentation due to the following: 1) When a $13 million medical facility is built, there's a lot of impact, for example: rise in medical costs, affects other facilities such as Lakeview and other downtown St. Paul facilities (will it drain off their revenues?), overbedding and oversupply of hospital beds in Metro area, keeping all of St. John's downtown facility (last week they said they'd close this facility when it became cost prohibitive but it's not a part of the plan), and most patients can get to downtown facility as easily as planned Maplewood facility. 2) I don't think we're proper body to act on such an issue; they're politicizing issue by getting preliminary approval from City. Therefore, would prefer not to take a position on it and do nothing (they are not required to make a presentation and mostly use this when there's been negative response from Health Board). CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 2/1/83 Page six M/S/P Morgan/Eder to instruct Whittaker to write a letter of thanks to Curtis West, St. John's Hospital, for presentation to Lake Elmo City Council which has decided to take no action since item is beyond City's scope. (5 ayes) 15. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT, Cont'd... D. DeMontreville Access - DNR is going ahead with condemnation and County has approved plan. Gary Fouks, 7864 DeMontreville Trail, brought in a letter dated 2/1 to the Council signed by 14 residents regarding their opposition to the proposed public access as follows: "l. Placement is in an objectionable location. 2. Size of the access is much too large for the rural nature of the area. 3. Possible unnecessary use of property owners' land. 4. Lack of clarification concerning car spacing, signs, lighting, public toilets, landscaping and traffic control." Of particular concern was the size of the parking lot which would be the size of a football field according to the 1" = 100 feet scale. Councillors were certain the scale must be off, and Whittaker will ask Lee Markell to rescale plan. Information will be available at Tri- Lakes meeting Monday night. BREAK - 9:08 p.m. 16. FIRE CHIEF, BRUCE KUETTNER A. Annual Report - In 1982, there was a total of 155 runs, 80 were rescue calls and 75 for fire (mostly nuisance calls, with the most serious being the Brine's fire). Have gone from 27 members previous year to 23 members this year. Compensation for all men : is $6,000 (i.e., $2.73 every time fireman had to make a call). Firemen's events for 1983 were cited; last year's events were successful. ..Fire preven- tion education program for schools will be started when State materials are received. Officers were named, and Kuettner suggested he would not be Fire Chief next year. Only mutual aid calls, besides Brine's fire, were one in Bayport and a couple in Woodbury; Lake Elmo called one mutual aid. Fire loss in Lake Elmo last year was less than $150,000. We are taking a look at fire -fighting techniques and training due to the deaths of 2 firemen at the Brine's fire. B. Capitol City Mutual Aid Agreement - Language changes in Sec. 5, Subd. 1, were made by Whittaker; and Agreement was reviewed with attorney. Whittaker explained Section 6, Subd. 2, language changes from prior agreement. M/S/P Morgan/Fraser to execute "Capitol City Mutual Aid Association Reciprocal Fire Service Agreement." (5 ayes) C. Fire Department By -Laws - M/S/P Fraser/Morgan to approve "Lake Elmo Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad By -Laws." (5 ayes) D. EMS Contract - M/S/P Fraser/Morgan to authorize signing of the EMS contract. (5 ayes) M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara to authorize EMS delegates: Jim Bjorkman and Dick Sacks as alternates, and Steve Potts as principal delegate. (5 ayes) CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 2/l/83 Page seven E. Other - Fraser wanted recruiting people. Kuettner - has been covered in newspapers; the bushes as often as we can." performing a job, anyone under to know if City should do more about What we need is young men. Recruitment cadet program is in force, and we "beat We would take anyone who is capable of 35 years of age. 17. ORCHARD/SINCLAIR, SIMPLE LOT DIVISION REAPPEAL - Elizabeth Orchard said additional information has been submitted. Sinclair noted small change on map which Bohrer has looked at regarding secondary drainfield which will not have to be excavated; but .provisions have to be made for it should it ever be needed. • Eder - this is appeal of earlier decision, and question tonight is there is only parcel of. .84 acre in one lot instead of 1 acre; code allows grandfathering in 1 acre lots in existing subdivisions. I don't feel there's that much difference in 1 acre as opposed to .84 acre. o Fraser - feels .84 is not close enough to 1 acre; and, at present, extra land enhances existing house. ® Mazzara - given all the facts, I would have a hard time voting against it. On my own, I've been advised by legal counsel that if we allow this, it would be more an exception to the rule and would not set a precedent. e Dunn - When lot was purchased, it was buildable lot for two homes according to code at that time and is non -homesteaded, so intention clearly was and is to build two homes from the beginning. M/S/P Dunn/MOraan -to adopt R-83-23 approving the 'bfchard/Sinclair`*Simple Lot Division based on:. lot exceeds average of other lots in area; ( higher land than many other lots in area; not a precedent for other 2- acre parcels with other characteristics, neighborhoods or circum- stances; and there has been no negative response from neighbors. (4 ayes; Fraser nay) - 18. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT, Cont'd... E. Ordinance 7940, Codifying changes in Section 200 of the Code - will come back with this when ready. F. Fee Ordinance - M/S/P Fraser/Morgan to adopt R83-22: A RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH THE FOLLOWING FEES: $10 FOR AGENDA COPIES; AND THE FOLLOWING FOR COPIES OF MINUTES: $25 CITY COUNCIL, $20. PLANNING COMMISSION, AND $10 FOR PARKS COMMISSION. ALSO, $20 FOR LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS AND $15 FOR ASSESSMENT SEARCHES. (5 ayes) G. Rezoning Fee for Ag Preserve - Consensus of Councillors was that ag preserve should be encouraged, so $100 fee should not be charged. M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara to adopt $25 rezoning fee for ag preserve as minimal charge for paperwork. (3 ayes; Eder, Morgan abstain.) H. Parks Commission, Retiring Members - Dunn will work on some kind of commemorative activity plus putting names on wood plaque, such as has been done in the past.
