LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
JUNE 19, 1984
Mayor Eder called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in the council
chambers. Present: Dunn, Fraser, Mazzara, Morgan (arrived 7:10) and
City Engineer, Larry Bohrer.
1. Agenda
M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara - To adopt the agenda as amended. (Delete 6B -
Bruce Beutel and add 7A Drainage - Mike Mazzara) (Motion carried 4-0)
Minutes
M/S/P Dunn/Fraser - To approve the minutes of the June 5, 1984 City
Council meeting as presented. (Motion carried 4-0)
Claims
M/S/P Dunn/Fraser - To approve claims 84956 thru 84999 as presented.
(Motion carried 4-0)
Waste -To -Energy Update
Doug Wood, Project Manager for the Ramsey/Washington County
Waste -To -Energy Project stated that on June 12th the project board,
which consists of three County Commissioners from Ramsey County, two
County Commissioners from Washington County (-Artie chae-fer- and -Wes
Scheel), and one representative from Lake Elmo (Mike Mazzara)
authorized the staff and consultants to proceed with the preparation
of a "Request For Proposal" to issue to potential vendors that have
been qualified. The two counties, during the request for
qualifications process, identified twenty-two firms that are
interested in participating in the construction of a Waste -To -Energy
facility. This list was narrowed down to eleven firms. When the
project first started, there was concentration on the technology
termed "mass burn". A "mass burn" facility takes municipal solid
waste, puts it into a combustion unit, burns the solid waste at around
1800 degrees and produces some form of energy. It was the intention
at that time to sell that energy to the 3M corporation. The board has
signed a two year agreement of intent with 3M stating that 3M is
willing to buy energy from the counties for a period of twenty-five
years.
Also included in the eleven vendors that are qualified is a second
technology called "Refuse Derived Fuel". This RDF facility alone does
not produce energy, but produces a fuel. That fuel can be transported
to another facility where it is burned. Because of these two
technologies, the County had to go thru a process to address each of
these technologies. At the June 12th meeting, the project board
decided to go thru a staged procurement process whereby the first
Request For Proposal they issue will be to Refuse Derived Fuel
vendors.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 2
In the next eight to ten weeks, the board is going to put together a
Request For Proposal which will be approved by the County Boards, and
issued to the RDF vendors. Because of the second technology, (RDF)
and the fact that the initial EIS was for a mass burn facility, the
EIS will be changed to include a RDF facility. The Met Council has
started that work.
Regarding land acquisition in Lake Elmo, Mr. Wood stated that several
months ago two land appraisals were done and they were reviewed by
Briggs and Morgan, the Counties legal firm. They requested that one
more land appraisal be done because there were some disparities in a
couple of the appraisals. The Counties have hired another appraiser
and that process is underway. At the same time, the attorney is
putting together legal documents that will be necessary for the
counties to enter into negotiations with the landowners in that area.
The Waste -To -Energy staff has authorization from the project board to
proceed with negotiations for land acquisition.
Regarding what areas will be acquired for the project, Mr. Wood stated
that they have previously gone on the basis that they would enter into
negotiations for the parcels that they initially appraised. They have
since decided that there is one parcel that probably will not be
needed (the far south of the total section). Right now the areas that
will probably be negotiated will include the Dreher, Hildebrandt,
Brochman and part of Enright property.
Another area that Mr. Wood suggested be addressed by the counties in
the near future is the water, sewer and water runoff issue. This type
of study would probably take three to four months of intensive work by
TKDA, and would be paid for by the Waste To Energy Project.
Mr. Joe Schilli, Consulting Engineer with Henningson, Durham and
Richardson, (HDR) made a slide presentation of a RFD facility in Ames,
Iowa that was constructed in 1975 and has been operating since that
time. In Ames, Iowa, they take the RDF and mix it with coal to burn
in their City Park land to produce electricity.
Mr. Schilli stated that the RDF facility would receive the same
garbage and trash that would go to a mass burn facility. Of the
residue that is produced, approximately 25% of the solid waste that
goes to a RDF facility will be rejects that have to go to a landfill;
where mass burn facilities generally run 20% by weight that have to go
to a landfill. In a mass burn facility, the rejects that go to a
landfill would be ash that comes out of the combustion chamber. In
the RDF facility the rejects that go to the landfill are basically
those components of the solid waste that are non-combustible. The
entire purpose of a RDF process facility is to separate the
non-combustible from the combustible material.
Mr. Wood stated that there may be opportunity to economically separate
some of the non-combustible materials, and that option will be looked
at. However, because of the volatile markets on ferrous metal and
glass and other types of material of that nature, you cannot count on
that as a major protion of your income when you are looking at the f
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 3
financial feasibility of the facility. So a portion of the estimated
25% rejects may be pulled out, if the ferrous market is good.
Otherwise they would be discarded. The counties are participating in
recycling programs that do not make money, but are participating to
( keep materials out of landfills. So the possibility exists that the
county would consider pulling out the ferrous metals, even on a
break-even basis.
If the RDF facility is located in Lake Elmo, it is anticipated that
the RDF would be produced here and transported by truck to Red Wing.
Fraser asked what the advantage was to having the RDF facility in Lake
Elmo if the RDF would have to be trucked to Red Wing. Wouldn't there
be other sites that would be more advantageous?
Mr. Wood stated that the EIS looked at several locations and also
identified several issues that had to be addressed relating to solid
waste processing facilities. There could be other locations for a RDF
facility, but they would be no better than the one in Lake Elmo.
Fraser stated that one of the big advantages in talking "mass burn"
was the proximity to 3M, and if 3M is no longer a consideration, and
if it is going to Red Wing, someplace closer to Red Wing would be more
advantageous.
Mr. Schelli stated that the power plant at Red Wing can only handle
about 900 tons per day of RDF. If at some point, the RDF processing
plant produces more RDF than that, there conceivably could be built on
the Lake Elmo site a boiler to burn RDF and produce steam to sell to
3M. That is an advantage to the Lake Elmo site. The RDF facility is
totally enclosed.. There is dust collecting equipment throughout the
facility so there is no dust going outside of the facility. All of
the equipment is inside the building so that reduces the noise
potential.
Mr. Wood stated that the best way for the City Council and staff to
judge this type of facility would be to see it first-hand. Mr. Wood
offered to arrange a visit to either the plant in Madison, Wisconsin
or Ames, Iowa for the Council.
The reason that RDF is being considered is that NSP has recently
expressed interest in participating in the combustion of RDF. They
may have some motives for pursuing that, but the economic analysis to
date indicates that that may be the best way to go.
Although Mr. Wood could not give a precise figure on the price
differnce between a RDF facility and mass burning facility, he has
seen figues in the St. Paul paper indicating a RDF facility would cost
from 16 to 22 million dollars and a mass burning facility would cost
from 45 to 60 million dollars.
A meeting was scheduled for July 10, 1984 at 7:00 p.m. in the council
chambers for the Section 32 landowners and the Waste -To -Energy staff.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 4
5. Donna Kuehn - Huff & Puff Days (Tabled)
6. Engineer's Report:
A. Public Hearing - Eleanor Danielson's application for a
large lot subdivision and lot size variance at the NE
corner of 50th Street and Lake Elmo Avenue.
Pursuant to published notice this public hearing was opened at 7:50
p.m. in the council chambers.
Mark Fedder, real estate agent representing Mrs. Danielson, reviewed
for the council how they arrived at the lot lines that are proposed in
this large lot subdivision.
Bernie Danielson (Mrs. Danielson's son) stated that there are two
hardships surrounding this request. If they try to redo the proposed
lot lines it would create a hardship physically on how the land would
be laid out. It also creates a hardship for Mrs. Danielson who has
taken care of this property since 1939, and now finds that she is
somewhat deminished in her ability to sell that property and use the
proceeds as she has looked forward to all of these years. There is no
other land to add to this 52 acres to conform to the city code.
The were no adjacent property owners present for or against this
proposal.
The public hearing was closed at 8:05 p.m.
Fraser stated in reviewing the action taken in 1981, the concept of
nonimal 10's and nominal 40's could in certain circumstances make
sense. By granting this application, we would not have far more
houses built on the property, it is just a matter that the lots would
be technically slightly undersized.
Eder stated his concerns are the surveyors or landowners that include
the right-of-way in the value of the property.
Pursuant to review of the Engineer's report of May 23, 1984, the
following action was taken.
M/S/P Morgan/Fraser - To adopt Resolution 84-37 granting a large lot
subdivision to Eleanor Danielson at the NE corner of CSAH 17 and 50th
Street which includes a park donation of $175 per lot. (Motion
carried 5-0).
M/S/P Mazzara/Fraser - To adopt ordinance 7960 amending Section
301-32 of the 1979 Lake Elmo Municipal Code permitting all 10 acre lot
size requirements be inclusive of the right-of-way in the RR districts
as recommended by the Planning Commission. (Motion carried 5-0).
Eder stated he had no problem with nominal 10's if somehow we could
communicate to the land surveyors and residents that they take into
consideration permanent easements when they do their preliminary work;
so they can get as close to the required 10 acres as reasonably
possible.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 5
B. Bruce Buetel - Application for side yard and rear yard
•setbacks variances. (Application withdrawn)
C. Public Hearing - Richard Moris' application for rezoning
from R1 to GB at the SE corner of CSAH 17 and the rail-
road tracks.
Pursuant to published notice, this public hearing was opened at 8:15
p.m. in the council chambers.
Mr. Moris reviewed his plans for an antique store at this location.
John Schiltz, adjacent property owner, stated that he could not think
of a better business to bring into town.
The Engineer stated his concerns were the use of the septic system.
If it is just a business, there would be very little use of the
system.
Mr. Moris stated his proposed hours are from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00
p.m., Wednesday thru Sunday.
The Planning Commission indicated at their meeting that they were
concerned about the lack of control over future business at this
location if the antique shop was not successful.
Fraser stated that her concerns were future control of the site should
Mr. Moris sell. Because of that, she would look more positively
towards a CUP.
Eder stated that in this case, the council is not primarily opposed to
the rezoning; the only reason we would not rezone it is so we would be
able to look at the next use or occupant of the building.
Dunn stated he would be in favor of the rezoning because the site at
one time was zoned business, and it is extremely close to the tracks.
It is a logical use for the lot.
Morgan stated that he feels Mr. Moris' request is a reasonable use of
the site, and it does not matter to him whether or not it is done by a
CUP or rezoning.
Mazzara stated he would like to see it rezoned to GB. He feels that
the City would have a lot of recourse if Mr. Moris sold the building.
The public hearing was closed at 8:30 p.m.
M/S/P Dunn/Mazzara - To adopt ordinance 7961 rezoning the Westerly
one hundred thirty-five (135) feet of Lot forty-one (41) in County
Auditor's Plat No.'8 (3417 Lake Elmo Avenue) from Rl to GB. (3-2
<Eder, Fraser>)
Fraser does not feel this is an appropriate piece of property to
rezone to GB.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 6
Eder would prefer that the site remain R1 and the antique shop be
permitted with a CUP.
M/S/P Fraser/Morgan - To recind the previous motion. (Motion carried
5-0)
M/S/P Dunn/Mazzara - To adopt ordinance 7961 rezoning the Westerly
one hundred thirty-five (135) feet of lot forty-one (41) in County
Auditor's Plat No. 8 (3417 Lake Elmo Avenue) from R1 to GB. (Motion
carried 5-0).
D. MSA Update
The Engineer advised the Council that the State Aid Division of Mn/DOT
has approved and signed Lake Elmo's plans for the MSA project; and we
can now award the bids for this project.
M/S/P Morgan/Fraser - To adopt Resolution 84-38 awarding the 1984 MSA
Street Improvement contract in the amount of $142,876.76 to Forest
Lake Contracting. (Motion carried 4-0-1 <Eder>)
E. Jane Road North Project
M/S/P Morgan/Fraser - To adopt Resolution 84-39 awarding the Jane
Road North Improvement Project (plans and specifications of which were
approved and accepted by Resolution 84-31) to Forest Lake Contracting
in the amount of $19,806.50. (Motion carried 5-0)
The Engineer advised the Council that he has contacted Forest Lake
Contracting regarding the paving of Jamaca Avenue (about 300 feet
North of Jane Road); and they have agreed to do this work at the
contract unit price.
M/S/P Morgan/Fraser - To authorize the Engineer to prepare a change
order whereby Jamaca Avenue (about 300 feet North of Jane Road) will
be paved at the contract unit price as bid by Forest Lake Contracting.
(Motion carried 5-0)
F. Public Hearing for simple lot division and lot size
variance for Howard Springborn at lot 9, block 2 of
Springborn's Green Acres (the SE corner of Jamaca
Avenue and 55th Street).
Pursuant to published notice, this public hearing was opened at 8:45
p.m. in the Council chambers.
C
Bruce Folz reviewed Mr. Springborn's proposal to eliminate one of the
future lots in phase 2 in exchange for this lot split in phase 1. Mr.
Folz stated that he had requested the City Attoney to look at the
validity of Mr. Springborn's development agreement from 1978 which
allowed for twelve lots to be developed in phase 2 and nineteen lots
to be developed in phase 1. The overall concept of thirty-one lots
would not change; the only change would be eleven lots developed in K
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 7
phase 2 and twenty lots developed in phase 1. The attorney's response
was that it was a valid contract and should be treated as such.
Jim Buggert, adjacent property owner, stated he was very disappointed
with this proposed lot split. He purchased his land from a concept
that presented to him, and this concept was that the lots would remain
large.
Mayor Eder pointed out that the area directly north of the proposed
lot split could conceivably be rezoned to R1 (1-1/2 acres) in the
future as this is allowed for in the comp. plan.
Helen Hoffman, adjancent property owner, stated she was opposed to
this lot split. If the purpose in splitting this lot is because of
the road frontage, the problem of excessive road frontage will not be
eliminated by the lot split. Also, she bought her property with the
idea that there would be only one house on this lot, and is,
therefore, opposed to this proposal.
The public hearing was closed at 9:05 p.m.
Fraser stated that the only difference with this proposal and Mr.
Springborn's proposal in February, 1984, is the creativity of the lot
trade; and she is opposed to this lot split for the same reasons she
was opposed to the application in February.
Morgan stated he had no strong feelings on this proposal.
Eder stated it was not clear to him to what degree the developer's
agreement relates to the land versus how the zoning ordinance relates
to the land. He feels the attorney is being conservative in saying a
variance is required. Does the zoning ordinance take precedent over
the developer's agreement?
Mazzara feels the lot trade would be in the City's best interest
because the size of some of the lots in phase 2 would be larger, and
would conform more closely to the city code.
M/S/P Eder/Fraser - To table a decision on this application until the
City Attorney clarifies the validity of the developer's agreement of
1978. (Motion carried 5-0)
G. Application for a shoreland permit and variances for the
construction of a new house on lot 2, block 1 of Ruth's
First Addition (10825 32nd Street) by Jerry Kromschroeder
The City Engineer reviewed his letter of June 14, 1984 in which he
addresses his concerns on the discrepancy regarding the high flood
elevation of Lake Elmo. Ruth's lst Addition was approved based upon a
high flood elevation of 889. This also agrees with the federal Flood
Insurance Study. The VBWD calculates the high flood to be elevation
891. If 889 is used, a variance is required for the alternate
drainfield only of 60 feet where 75 feet is required. If elevation
891 is used, a variance is necessary for both primary and alternate
drainfields. The setback for the primary would be 50 feet and the
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 8
alternate would be 30 feet where 75 feet is required. Both primary
and alternate systems can meet the required building elevation. The
Engineer further recommended that if the Council views this
application favorably, one variance would be required for septic
system setback from the high flood mark. The degree of variance would
be determined by which elevation was used for the high flood. He
feels the VBWD elevation of 891 to be more accurate.
The Engineer further indicated the the platted lot size exceeds 1.5
acres and the area above the OHW mark is .96 acres. The application
understated the drainfield area required. A three bedroom home of 9
mpi average pert rate will require 600 gal x 1.27 SF/gal = Sf of
treatment area; or 254 LF of trench. All other requirements of the
Shoreland Regulations and Septic System Ordinance can be met.
The DNR made no objection to this application.
M/S/P Fraser/Morgan - To approve the Shoreland Permit and septic
system variance setback from the OHM for Mr. Kromschroeder on Lot 2,
Block 1 Ruth's 1st Addition for the construction of a new home
contingent upon the applicant complying with City Engineer's
recommendation in his letter of June 14, 1984. (Motion carried 5-0)
H. Application for a shoreland permit and variance for the
construction of a house on lot 6, Krause's Addition by
David Krause.
The City Engineer reviewed his letter of June 14, 1984 in which he
addresses (1) Lot size - the platted area consists of .92 acres of
which .78 acres is above the OHW mark where 1.5 acres are required.
Since the platted lot size exceeds 60% of that required, a variance
from the zoning code is not required. This was a pre-existing lot
prior to the adoption of the Shoreland Ordinance and no additional
land is available. (2) Structure Setback from Water - The house is
proposed to be a minimum of 80 feet from the OHW mark (elev. 924)
where 100 feet is required. The house is proposed to be somewhat
closer to the water than the neighboring houses because the septic
system is on the road side of the lot, not the lake side. A deck is
also shown as optional and being 50 feet from the OHW mark where 100
feet is required. All other conditions of the Shoreland and Septic
System Ordinances can be met.
The Engineer recommended that the deck be located where it would not
require a variance. Mr. Krause stated that he changed his plans and
the deck will be located on the east side of the house.
M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - To approve the Shoreland Permit and lot size and
structure setback variances for David Krause at Lot 6, Krause's
Addition contingent upon applicant complying with recommendations of
the City Engineer in his letter of June 14, 1984. (Motion carried
5-0)
Lake Jane Association
The DNR suggested that the City pass a motion requesting the DNR to
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 9
post Lakes Jane, Olson and DeMontreville as prohibiting power boats or
heavy boats during the flooding period.
M/S/P Morgan/Fraser - To adopt Resolution 84-40 requesting the DNR to
(" restrict the use of motor boats on Lakes Jane, Olson and DeMontreville
when the lake levels exceed 924,930 and 930, respectively; and to
instruct the City Administrator to proceed with drafting an ordinance
making these restrictions a permanent part of the city code. (Motion
carried 5-0)
The VBWD requested permission to pump from Lake Jane to City Park Pond
to the level pumped to in 1983. VBWD declared an emergency condition
on Lake Jane, and assuming the City Council would approvetheir
request to pump, are preparing to put the diesel pump into use.
M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara To allow VBWD to install a diesel pump on Lake
Jane and pump water at the rate and to the level that they did in
1983. (Motion carried 5-0).
Fraser reminded the Council and the residents that we are creating
problems downstream when we initiate this pumping.
Jim Weyer, on behalf of the Lake Jane Association, requested that the
City Engineer visit the flood site and make any recommendation he
feels would minimize the damage being done by this flood to the
effected residents.
M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara - To instruct the City Engineer to visit the
homes that are being flooded and make a recommendation, if he has one,
as to how sandbagging, etc., could be done more efficiently. (Motion
carried 5-0)
An additional request from a few citizens relates to the City
obtaining satelite bathrooms. Their septic systems are under water
and either functioning at a limited capacity or if functioning, are
contributing to pollution of the lakes.
M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - To instruct the City Engineer to examine the
possibility of getting a group rate for portable sanitary facilities
for the residents unable to use their septic systems. (Motion carried
5-0)
Morgan stated that he has asked VBWD to look for other percolation
sites, for emergency situations, that would take the pressure off of
Sunfish and City Park Pond. We should be able to find another place
to get temporary easements in which to percolate this water down into
the ground water table. It is an effective way to eliminate excess
surface water. Until we have a route to the river, it is the only
route that we have and if we start now with the seeking of sites and
the holding of hearings, we might have another route if we have
another six-inch week rain. Morgan further stated he would be
willing to vote for a petition if he knew what this up -front cost is
going to be.
Dick Murray stated that he would present this request to the VBWD at
( their June 28th meeting.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984 PAGE 10
Morgan stated that there have been requests to have sanitary bathroom
facilities at the DNR access. The Council instructed the
Administrator to make this request to the DNR.
7. City Council Reports
A. Drainage of culvert under Lake Elmo Avenue.
Mazzara stated there is a lot of debris in the culvert under County
Road 17. The Council instructed the City Engineer to contact
Washington County regarding this problem.
8. Administrator's Report
A. Assessor's recommendation from the 5-22-84 Board of
Review meeting.
M/S/P Fraser/Eder - To approve the changes in property valuation as
recommended by the County Assessor (excluding the Landfill residents).
(Motion carried 5-0)
M/S/P Fraser/Morgan - To remove Mr. McLeod's name from the list of
thirty-five landfill residents that have had -their property valuation
decreased; and consider Mr. McLeod's request separately. (Motion
carried 5-0)
M/S/P Fraser/Morgan - To accept the changes in property valuation as
recommended by the County Assessor for thirty-four properties in the
Lake Elmo landfill area. (Motion carried 5-0)
M/S/P Morgan/Fraser - To change the value of Mr. McLeod's property to
$76,700 (a 20% decrease instead of 10%). (Motion carried 5-0)
B. Quotations for the old city hall table.
The bids for the library table were as follows: Lee and Roanne Axdahl
- $227.01; Gisela Lee - $240.00; Michael Burress - $235.00; Bruce
Dunn - $250.00 (with a buy-back option for one year at the same
price).
M/S/P Fraser/Morgan - To accept the highest bid received for the
library table (Bruce Dunn - $250.00). (Motion carried 4-0-1 <Dunn>).
C. Old City Access regarding landscaping, parking and
the existing shoulder.
M/S/P Eder/Morgan - To retain the paved area of the old City acccess
at the present time, as it protects the road and shoulder and can be
used for emergency parking; and request the County to install "no,
signs at this location. (Motion carried 5-0).
Greg Fouks stated he felt it would be a mistake not to remove the
paved shoulder as it will make it too easy and too convenient for
people to park there if it is not removed.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1984

Dave Garloff requested the Council confer with the DNR and do what is
possible to complete the landscaping around the old access. The
