PUBLIC INQUIRIES:
5• JANE ROAD NORTH IMPROVEMENTS:
A. Public Comments Questions
Jim Weyer stated that the Jane Road N. residents felt the intent
of the petition they submitted was missed. They want a street as
originally proposed in Larry Bohrer's estimate dated 6-21-83,
plus some improvements on water drainage. He stated that he had
another petition for the Council's consideration, if this work
could not be done under the original petition. Weyer read the
new petition to the Council.
Bill Stevenson stated that there were two exceptions written to
the first petition; just continue Jane Road N. the same width
that it is around the lake, and spend $5,000 for the drainage.
Discussion on the drainage problems. Larry Bohrer stated that the
situation would not change unless something was done at the low
point, such as tipping the road, or picking water up with a storm
sewer pipe and a couple catch basins to get it into the drainage
area where it should go.
LAKE ELCO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Page 2
Tom Skalbeck asked if grading and sodding would help eliminate
the erosion problem.
Bohrer stated that he would not feel confident of the results, as
a much larger area drains here than at the Skalbach property.
B. Council Discussion:
Eder stated that he would prefer to adhere to standards, but the
cost has increased so much that maybe the effort should be put
back to the residents. That is, to come up with some type of
reconstruction plan to reconstruct the road themselves over the
next couple of years to help reduce the overall cost. He stated
that although he would like to stick to the standards, he would
not vote in favor of the residents spending $4500 to do this
work, and the residents would have to keep it the way it is if a
less costly solution cannot be reached.
Morgan concurs with Eder; that he would not vote for the plan as
presented. He stated that the Council should look at the
proposal again, and possibly work out some sort of compromise.
Fraser stated that she did not feel any sort of sub -standard road
should be put in. She felt that more money would be spent
maintaining a sub -standard road. She could not support the
proposal before the Council for a 22 foot road.
Mazzara stated that he was concerned about the cost, but if it is
going to be done, it should be done to standards.
Dunn asked the City Engineer if the second petition that was just
read was at all feasible; if the cost could be kept around the
$20,000 figure, plus the cost of living, plus $5,000 and come up with
a proposal that is acceptable to a Council majority.
Bohrer expressed concern over the "not to exceed figure" in the
new proposal.
M/S/P e Fraser/Dunn - Move to reject the Feasibility Report of
September 29, 1983 for a 22 foot wide urban street. (4 ayes 1 nay
<Mazzara>)
Jim Weyer asked if the second petition. ould be handled under the
first petition in order to prevent having another Public Hearing.
If the Council cannot act as such, the residents are willing to
submit the second petition. (Consensus was to submit the new
petition).
6. Teal Pass Estates - Development Agreement:
Whittaker pointed out several problems with the agreement as
drafted by City Attorney. Page 1, Paragraph l; lists all of the
people that have some interest in the property as developers.
LAKE ELCO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Page 3
( They are not the developers, Ken Neudahl is the developer. Mr.
Neudahl and these property owners do not want to bind the other
property owners to perform the conditions of this agreement.
This agreement is for Mr.Neudahl to perform certain public
improvements on this property. It should show that these other
people have an interest in the property and are aware of this
agreement, but the responsibility of carrying it out is
Mr. Neudahl's. Page 2, Paragraph B; should read drainage
improvements instead of storm sewers. Page 3, Paragraph 5;
(Performance Bond) should refer to a cash escrow instead of a
Performance Bond. Page 4, Paragraph 1; (Estimated Cost of the
Improvements) is $45,200. which includes the 125% cash escrow and
overflow pipe. Page 4, Paragraph 6; should not be in there. In
place of the paragraph will be a list of the people who have some
interest in the property. Another term that should be included
is "the City should provide for a partial release of this cash
escrow as improvements are completed." (Eder asked if there was a
place for reference to "plat dated" or "development plan dated")
Bohrer stated it should be Plans and Specifications dated October
4th, 1983.Page 2, Paragraph 3. Page 1 "City Council on October
4th ..... " should include final plat. Larry Bohrer said bond
need be only $35,500 after the overflow is deleted.
Dennis Peck referred to the offsite easement, and asked for a
good faith provision by the Neudahls, that they will make every
reasonable effort to obtain the easement. If they are unable to
do that, they can trigger some kind of City action within a
certain period of time. It would be the City's determination
that a reasonable effort had been made to obtain the easement.
M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - Move to authorize the City Administrator and
Mayor to enter into the agreement as approved by the City
Attorney according to aforementioned discussion. (5 ayes)
Consensus of the Council was to deny Neudahl's request for a
building permit to be issued prior to recording of the plat.
7. Engineers Report:
A. 201 Engineering Agreement/Financing - Discussion of the fina-
nce plan submitted by Whittaker. Whittaker stated that the City could
finance the design stage (Step2) from their reserves. That it would
cost less than borrowing the money. The City is in a position, with
its present reserves, to finance the $90,000 thru 1984. The City
would lose some investment income, but that lost income should be
charged to the project and assessed back to the property owners when
it is completed. The construction phase of the project, scheduled to
begin in 1985, could put us in a situation where we would be carrying
as much as $200,000 in some months of 1985. At this time, Larry felt
that the City could not reasonably finance that from the reserves. We
will have to either join with the County in bonding for these improve-
ments or bonding for these improvements ourselves and assessing the
interest and bonding costs back to the benefited property owners. The
LAKE ELCO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Page 4
County Board is considering a bond issue for the ineligible costs and
the holding costs, and if they do this, they might be willing to
( include Lake Elmo in the bond issue so that we might take advantage of
the lower rate. We estimated the average cost to homeowners, before
interest expense, would be around $800 a home for the sewer improve-
ments. The County's estimate is in that same ballpark. The recommen-
dation is that we proceed with the design phase (Step 2) and we
finance that from our present reserves and we work with the County to
see if we can be included in their bond issue to cut costs for Step 3.
Discussion followed relative to the interest rate to be charged.
M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara To accept the recommended approach of
financing as proposed by the Administrative Consultant. (5 ayes)
M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara To accept Engineering agreement
proposed and allow the Mayor and City Administrator to enter into
a contract with the City Engineer for Step 2 of the 201 project.
(5 ayes)
B. Reid Park Status: Bohrer stated that the trails, parking
lot, and ballfield Tl are complte. A bitimunious walkway along the
parking lot and the remainder of the seeding and sodding are not
complete. Bohrer further stated that a letter was sent to the contra-
ctor expressing the Council's concerns regarding the seeding, etc.
The contractor has chosen to do the seeding now, and a letter is
forthcoming stating his reasons for doing this.
C. Jamaca Court Status: - Bohrer stated that the improvements
are complete, however, all of the testing has not yet been done.
Carol Kuettner stated that she felt the street looked patchy, that it
appeared to be wavey and had rough. spots. In general she was unhappy
with the finishing in that it was not smooth.
Bohrer stated that a mix was specified that had a lot more rock in it
for strength, so it will look coarse. Also, the paving was done in
two days; so, the segments of pavement overlap some.
D. Tartan Meadows: - Bohrer stated that Mr.Morton is
starting some of the improvements on his own, before he asks to
have the final plat signed. We will have a bond for the
remainder of the improvements that he is not constructing
himself.
E. Other: - Bohrer made reference to the improvements in
the Tablyn Park area that were bid out. (A play area west of
the parking lot had been provided by the Jaycee's but there was
never any top soil or turf established.) Bohrer previously
provided an estimate of $1.055. The bids received were from
Buberl Landscaping for $1255.00; and Mogren Bros. Landscaping
for $1478.00.
LAKE ELCO CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Imm
M/S/P Mazzara/Dunn To accept
Landscaping and proceed with the
(5 ayes)
8.OLD BUSINESS:
the bid submitted by Buberl
improvements in Tablyn Park.
A. Hammes Mining Permit: Fraser stated that violations
noted in the Building Inspector's letter to Bill Hammes were not
recent violations, that some of them went back at least three
years. She further stated that she received a letter from a
citizen to the area of the Hammed stating that in their AMC-00E0
judgement, the Hammes' had taken advantage of the City by nottl-I-83 ce
complying with the City's ordinances. Fraser suggested that very MEc-TimCr
specific action be taken to get these violations remedied.
Dunn stated that the Council should not confuse the mining permit
with any other violation. He felt that if the mining permit was
denied for unrelated items, the City is subject to liability and
further stated that he felt it would be unethical.
Morgan concurred with Dunn, and added that if the City handled
each violation as a separate issue, they could be much more
effective.
Fraser stated that if the City acted one -by -one, there could be
enormous legal expenses for the City.
M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara To extend the Mining permit for one
month. (4 ayes 1 nay <Dunn>)
Fraser stated that if there is substantial movement in this month
to correct the violations, we could then consider extending the
permit again. To grant the permit now for an extended period of
time is unreasonable.
Mazzara asked the Hammes' if the violations could be resolved in
a month: (Dorothy Lyons stated that they had been working on
them). Mazzara stated that rather than granting the permit for
one month, perhaps the Council should delay the permit for one
month and see if an agreement can be reached between the Building
Inspector and the Hammes'.
Fraser stated she did not want to prevent the Hammes' their means
of livelihood, but does not want things to continue as in the
pastinasmuch as they do as they please.
Eder advised the Hammes' to meet with the City Administration and
form some written agreement and to follow thru with the agreement.
Morgan stated that he would go along with the motion, but would
prefer that the violations be handled one at a time.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING 10-18-83 Page 6
Eder advised the Hammes' to meet with the City Administration and
form some written agreement and to follow thru with the agreement.
Morgan stated that he would go along with the motion, but would
prefer that the violations be handled one at a time.
Dunn asked what violations in the letter from Building Inspector
pertained to mining.
Whittaker stated the use of the County Road in regards to weight
limits is in violation of the mining ordinance.
Dunn asked how the City was affected by County weight limits, and
Whittaker responded that the City does not want overweight trucks
leaving or entering a City permitted operation and destroy a
County Road that we all have to pay for. It is our obligation to
make sure the mining operation is run according to our standards
and state laws.
Whittaker further stated that the City has every right to
regulate the premise on which a licensed activity is taking
place. Our City Attorney says we have every right to enforce the
City Code as it relates to the premise where we are issuing a
permit. That premise has all of these violations that are listed.
B. Resolution for Safe Water Around Landfill: - M/S/P
Morgan/Fraser To adopt Resolution 3- 7 requesting
Ramsey/Washington County to continue working towards and to take
action for a solution to the drinking water supply problem of the
Lake Elmo residents surrounding contaminated Ramsey/Washington
County Landfill #1 site as amended. (5 ayes)
C. Park Commission Report:
1. Demontreville Ballfield: - Klaers informed the City
Council that the Park Commission was not spending the funds that
are in the 1983 CIP for Demontreville ballpark, but would like to
use those funds next year for equipment.
Eder stated that the Park Commission should be aware of how much
money remains in their CIP. Klaers to advise Park Commission of
this amount.
2. 5-Year CIP: - Whittaker discussed his memo to the
Park Commission suggesting amending the 5-Year CIP, which was
amended before submitting the LAWCON application, to bring it down
so it could be financed with our present reserves and our annual
budget allotment. The Park Commission accepted the
recommendations with the thought of reviewing them again in 1984.
Basically, we eliminated some of the "high -buck" items for Pebble
Park that were in the LAWCON grant, such as construction of a
hockey rink, the north ballfield, warming house, and fencing the
ballfield. The other elimination, under the current 5-Year plan,
would be the park shelter in Pebble Park. That is not to say
C
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Page 7
for the 1983 expenditures. Whittaker stated that he thought we
would be low. Whittaker stated that there was approximately
$45,000 left in the park fund, or would be at the end of the year
after the City's share of Reid Park is paid. Also, $6400 was
put in for 1984.
M/S/P Morgan/Fraser - to adopt the present 5-year CIP, with the
consent to the Park Commission to do more detailed studies and
recommend revisions at a later date, if they feel the necessity.
(5 ayes)
Fraser expressed
concern
that the request for
an ice
rink at
Cimarron would
be passed
up, and that the
Council
should
establish some intent
of doing
something of that
nature.
That a
rink at Oakland
Junior High
School would not serve
the
purpose
for the younger
children.
Add Whittaker's
comment
that he
was working on
an ice rink
at Cimarron and will continue to do
3. Trail Grooming 1983-84: - Klaers stated that a
contract with the County for grooming ski trails in Sunfish Park
would be almost identical to the contract the City now has with
the County with minor adjustments for the wage increases on the
County level. He stated that the Park Commission would like
preliminary approval to enter into an agreement with the County,
and when a final contract is pepared come back to the City
Council for final approval. Last years cost was approximately
$550.00.
Morgan stated that the trails intended to have tracks set are not
in any condition to have tracks set. He stated the weeds have
not been mowed, and the trails in the woods that were supposed to
be widened, have only been partially completed. Morgan suggested
that Mike Polehna and the Park Commission get together and be
very specific as to which trails should be groomed.
M/S/P Morgan/Fraser To enter into a contract with the County to
groom the trails as designated by the Park Commission. (5 ayes)
4.Jaycees Resolution: -
M/S/P Morgan/Fraser to adopt Resolution 83-68 commending
theJaycee's for their support and active participation in
improving the City parks. (5 ayes)
9. Council Reports:
A. Discussion of the funding for the plaque for Sunfish
Park. Eder stated that most of the monies that would be used for
the plaque, and its installation, would come from the sale of
buttons. However, there have not been very many buttons sold.
Most of the buttons expense, to this point, may only cover the
cost of renting the school and a couple associated costs.
Whatever is collected is hoped to reduce the donation of the City
of Oakdale and the City of Lake Elmo toward the installation of
the plaque. He further stated that a dedication ceremony is
planned at the entrance to Sunfish Park when the plaque is installed.

M/S/P Mazzara/Dunn To allocate $500.00 to the Oakdale Township
125th Anniversary for the purchase of a plaque and its
installationin in Sunfish Park. (5 ayes)
B. Lake Level Elevations: - Eder submitted a report on
lake level elevations that pointed out that a potential disaster
exists should we have the kind of,Fall, with freeze, and the
traditional type of snow melt situation that happens once every
thirty years (or less) which was thought to possibly be the case
in 1983. Eder suggested that those interested attend the 509
Meeting. The City has to have better ponding and movement of
water solutions where they can be fitted in, and there has to be
a storage area in West Lakeland to accomplish this. Eder stated
he felt there was no acceptable solution other than connecting
Lake Jane to Lake Elmo in some way, along with and lowering and
widening the outlet out of Lake Elmo, and doing something between
Horseshoe Lake and the pit to help get the water down to the
Barton gravel pit.
C. Christmas: - Fraser suggested that the mugs given
by the City to employees and volunteers for commissions be
considered.
M/S/P Eder/Fraser To order the mugs in the appropriate
quantities. (5 ayes)
10. Administrator's Report:
A. Street Light - About 2500 Lake Elmo Ave. -
M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara - To approve the installation of a street
light at about 2500 Lake Elmo Ave., providing the residents that
petitioned for the light assume the cost of installing the light.
(5 ayes)
B. Secretarial Positions: -
M/S/P Fraser/Morgan - To adopt the proposed recommendations for
the two secretarial positions from 10-13-83 memo. (5 ayes)
C. Snow Plowing Contract: - Discussion of the quotes
received from Dan Olinger and Bernard Meyer. Maintenance
Foreman Wisdorf recommends that the bid be awarded to Dan
Olinger.
M/S/P Dunn/Mazzaa - Move to accept Olinger's snow plow bid for
1983-84 with arrangements worked out with City Administration.
( 5 ayes)
Eder stated he wanted it on record that he has paid for Olinger's
snow plowing services at his home for many years, and will
continue to do so at his own expense.

Dear Commissioner Schaefer:
Enclosed is a Resolution that was passed by the Lake Elmo City
Council on October 18, 1983. This Resolution deals with seeking a
solution to the drinking water problems for the residents near
the Ramsey/Washington County Landfil1#1 site.
This Resolution Is the result of a request from the Homeowners
for Eliminating Landfill Pollution (HELP) organization, and from
joint meetings between the Oakdale and Lake Elmo Planning
Commissions.
As the Resolution clearly indicates, the City of Lake Elmo is not
trying to direct the County toward any specific solution, but
encourages the County to take quick action in arriving at an
appropriate solution after studying all of the possible options.
The Cityof Lake Elmo is very concerned for all of its residents,
and when a serious problem arises, we feel obl-igated to do
whatever is possible to help solve the problem. I hope that this
Resolution will encourage the County to take quick action and to
examine all of the options available.
Please keep us informed on any action taken by the County
regarding the drinking water supply around the landfill.
If the City of Lake Elmo can be of any assistance to the County
in reaching or implementing a solution to this problem, please
feel free to contact me.
Very trully� ours,
