LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
NOVEMBER 18, 1986
Mayor Morgan called the City Council meeting to order at 7:02 p.m. in
the City Council chambers. Present: Morgan, Armstrong, Dunn,
Mazzara, Chirst, City Engineer Bohrer, City Attorney Knaak (arrived
8:15), and City Administrator Overby.

City C??Ucil meeting as presented. (Motion carried 5-0).
2. Minutes: November 5, 1986

minutes as presented. (Motion carried 5-0).

M/S/P Christ/Armstrong - to approve the November 18, 1986 claims

4. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT
A. Resolution to Alter CSAH 15 Designation
Mr. Richard Herold, Washington County Design/Construction Engineer,
explained that Washington County is in the final stages of work to
proceed with the re -alignment of CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) between
Downs Lake and Horseshoe Lake. The County is requesting that the City
pass a Resolution which would give the City approval to the alteration
(removal) of county -state aid designation to the existing segments of
CO. Road 15 that are to be replaced by the realignment and turned back
to the City of Lake Elmo and West Lakeland Township.
City Engineer Bohrer had a concern that removal of the county -state
aid designation on the existing portion of Manning Avenue which
connects to 20th Street could put the Municipal State Aid designation
for that road in jeopardy. The City Engineer has suggested to
Washington County that they might retain CSAH designation on that
portion of Manning Avenue between 20th Street and the new road
alignment. This would allow 20th Street to continue to be eligible
for municipal state aid funds.
Another concern raised was that the ownership and maintenance of the
turned -back segments of Manning Avenue would be the subject of
negotiation and agreement between the City and the Township. City
Engineer Bohrer had suggested that Lake Elmo could maintain the
"northern" part of Manning Avenue (from 18th Street to the new CSAH 15
alignment), and West Lakeland could maintain the "southern" portion
(from 18th Street to the new alignment).
Mr. Herold explained that their consultant found the road structurally
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 2
sound and found the surfacing has not had an overlay in nearly 30
years. They would be looking at putting in a overlay before they turn
it back to the City which is stated in the resolution. The County
cannot turn back the roadway to the City until 2 years after
construction so the County may very well maintain that segment for a
period of two years. The requirement is two years to a township by
State law, but there is no requirement to a City. On the other hand
the City has to pass a resolution allowing them to change; whereas
the township doesn't need a resolution.
City Engineer Bohrer explained that part of the definition of a
municipal state aid street is, which 20th St. is , it must begin and
end at another state aid road. Bohrer hoped that the connection
point, which is in West Lakeland Township and townships cannot have
state aid roads, could be within County right-of-way and techically
meet our criteria for a municipal state aid road. Bohrer felt that
this concern on municipal state aid designation has been adequately
answered.
Bohrer replied that the City and the township will have to get
together to decide who is going to maintain what portion of the road.
City Administrator Overby raised a concern on the wording of the
resolution. The working indicates that "Further Resolved... Lake Elmo
will assume jurisdiction over existing Manning Avenue and connections
within the corporate limits that is not designated as CSAH 15."
Initially, this would appear to mean that Lake Elmo would take over
jurisdiction of that portion of Manning Avenue that is located within
its corporate limits. However, the map indicated the connections that
are referenced by the wording in the resolution are actually both
located in West Lakeland Township. Overby felt if this is correct,
then the resolution would have to be amended to strike out the words
"and connections". Mr. Herold responded with the reason he just
didn't include the City because the majority of the realignment is
outside the City. Mr. Herold agreed with Bohrer to restate the last
sentence in the resolution to read "Lake Elmo will assume jurisdiction
over existing Manning Avenue within its corporate limits that is not
designated as C.S.A.H. 15•
The City Council felt that the concerns they had. have been met, but
wanted to be sure that the City does not give up any MSA capabilities
on 20th Street. Bohrer replied that if there is a drawback, the City
will end up with a 112 mile of road to maintain.
The City Council had no objections to the proposed resolution, but -
recommended that the City Attoney look over the resolution. City
Engineer Bohrer will meet with West Lakeland Township in the interim
to discuss the maintenance of the turned -back segments of Manning
Avenue.
B. Re -opening of 15th Street
Ross and Lillian Henderson have purchased 58 acres of property on the
southside of 15th Street, located east of the barricade. They intend
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 3
to construct a house on their property and have been issued a building
permit to allow the construction work.
In order for the Hendersons to build their house, they want the City
to remove the street barricade. They indicated that they feel the
condition of 15th Street is adequate for the time being and are not
asking for any improvements to the road at this time. The City
Maintenance Department installed a traffic barrier and cul-de-sac on
15th Street this summer in order to keep traffic and parties out of
the end of the street, next to the County Park.
The City Maintenance Foreman believes that the road will have to be
improved with gravel and ditch -culvert work if it is going to be
maintained properly. The estimated total cost of barricade removal
and Improvements to the 700 feet of roadway to be approximately
$3,400.
City Administrator Overby explained that they only had one contractor
that did an estimate on this which was $3,371. If they just did the
barricade work and ditch filled in behind the barricade, some
compacting and gravel, the Maintnenace Foeman estimated approximately
$420 for this minimum work.
M/S/P Christ/Morgan - to remove the barricade on l5t-h Street and
approve the minimum fill and compacting ditch work. (Motion carried
5-0).
City Administrator Overby will check with the contractor to see how
soon this work can be done.
C. High Water on 32nd St.
Edna Rubbert, resident on 32nd Street, has asked what the City intends
to do to solve the high water problem at the end of 32nd Street- where
her house is located.
City Engineer Bohrer reported that the pond at the east end of 32nd
Street has been plagued by high water for some time. The pond has
equalized with the Reid Park Pond for over one year. The rising water
level has covered the east end of 32nd Street and covered a portion of
Edna Rubbert's driveway at 11328-32nd Street. The Maintenance
Department has raised the roadway a few times in the past.
The present situation is that there is again about 2-3 feet of water
over the low end of the Rubbert driveway. There is no other access to
the garage and Mrs. Rubbert has been parking on the street for some
time. It would take about $500 worth of fill to raise the driveway
and roadway and one day of loader and operator time to place the fill.
M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - to approve the filling and diking work in the
amount of up to $500 as recommended by the City Enginner for Mrs. Edna
Rubbrt at 11328 32nd St. (Motion carried 5-0).
D. Final Payment #1 to Tower Asphalt
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 4
City Engineer Bohrer reported that work on the 1986 Street Repairs
(Maintenance Overlays) and City Hall Parking Lot is complete. Bohrer
recommends that the City accept the work and authorize final payment
to Tower Asphalt in the amount of $11,192.69.
The distribution of funds is broken down as follows:
1986 Maintenance Budget $ 8,187.69
City Hall Building Fund $ 3,005.00
TOTAL PAYMENT $11,192.69
M/S/P Christ/Dunn - to approve the authorization of final payment to
Tower Asphalt in the amount of $11,192.69 for work on the 1986 Street
Repairs and City Hall parking lot. (Motion carried 5-0).

2. Status Report on Withdrawal Requests.
At the last Council meeting, the City Council was informed of the
desire of Donald Mehsikomer and Eugene Siedow to withdraw from the 201
Program. City Engineer Bohrer informed the Council that about $800 in
engineering costs have been incurred in Step 3 for each of these
properties. This matter was directed to the City Attorney to
determine ability to assess these costs.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schiltgen 11307 30th St., have also asked to be
withdrawn from the program because they upgraded their system a few
years ago. When asked why they waited until the contractor was ready
to start work before they notified us, they said they intended to, but
just didn't get around to it.
In his opinion City Attorney Knaak stated that the City can charge
these costs to the identified residents.
M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong - to assess the above property owners, Frank
Schiltgen, Eugene Siedow, and Donald Mehsikomer who have chosen to not
participate in the 201 Program for engineering costs (approximately
$800). (Motion carried 4-1<Mazzara>).
( 8. PUBLIC HEARING : Variance to Allow an Advertising Sign with
a Conditional Use Permit in a General Business Zone -
Jamie L. Olson
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 5
Mayor Morgan opend up the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. in the City
Council chambers.
Jamie L. Olson wants to cosntruct an advertising sign on land that is
located adjacent to the I-94 frontage road and immediately in front
(south) of the vali-Hi Drive In. A similar request for a larger sign
on the same site in 1985 was denied by the City Council. The proposed
sign is allowed by the Lake Elmo Municipal. Code in the General
Business district, which the property is currently zoned. The
proposed size of the two-sided sign (10' by 20' = 200 square feet) is
within the size limitations of the code. It is also within the 35
foot height limitation.
A variance is needed for the sign location because the sign would be
less than the minimum 3,000 foot horizontal distance that is required
between advertising signs which are located on the same side of a
street or highway. The location of this sign would be approximately
400 to 500 feet from where the Vali-IIi Drive In sign is located. Ms.
Olson added that there is no reason that they could not agree that her
sign would. not block any sign Vali-Hi were to erect.
She had made a proposal to Mr. R. J. O'Neil, owner of the Vali-Hi
Drive In, to build his sign below her sign with no cost to him, but he
was not interested. Mr. O'Neil stated that his new sign would be off
to the east of the screen.
Ms. Olson referred to a letter written by her lawyer James Lammers,
Stillwater, in which he stated that in his opinion she should be
reasonably entitled to a variance because of the .fact that she could
not put her property to any other reasonable use. As was pointed out
to him, there are other non -conforming signs in the City of Lake Elmo.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The proposed sign appears to not exceed a 500 foot separation
distance from the Vali-Hi sign, where the Lake Elmo Code requires a
minimum of 3,000 feet.
2. The proposed sign does not exceed size or height limits as
specified in the Lake Elmo Code.
Mr. O'Neil, owner of the Vali-Hi Drive In, explained that his Attorney
Brad Gunn had clearly stated at the Planning Commission meeting that
the Olson's had been adequately compensated for damages to that
property. Ms. Olson responded that her attorney's feelings on the
basis that awards are made are assumed that the property owner may
make some reasonable use of their land.
Mayor Morgan clsoed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m.
M/S/P Christ/Dunn - to deny a variance request from Jamie L. Olson to
allow her an advertising sign with a CUP in a General Business Zone
based on Lake Elmo's Municipal Code which requires 3,000 feet between
signs and applicant's proposal does not meet this requirement.
(Motion carried 5-0).
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 6
6. PUBLIC HEARING : Variance to Minimum Lot Size and Lake Frontage;
Simple Lot Su division and Preliminary Plat, Ken Sovereign
Mayor Morgan opened up the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. in the City
Council chambrs.
Mr. Ken Sovereign was before the City Council on 10-7-86 with a
proposal to plat two lots, one of which was 1.0 acres in size and the
second was 1.65 acres. At that time both lots had 125 feet of lot
width at the lake, where Shoreland Regulations require 150 feet. Lot
number one is part of an eleven -acre parcel.
The proposal for this meeting has been modified from the 10-7-86
propoal as follows:
1. Lot number one has been increased in lot size from 1.0 acres to
1.17 acres. The Code requires 1.5 acres.
2. Lot number one lot width at the lake has been increased from 125
feet to the required 150 foot width.
3. Lot number two has been reduced in size from 1.65 acres to 1.55
acres, which exceeds the 1.5 acre minimum lot size.
4. Lot number two still has a 125 foot lot width at the lake, where
150 feet is required.
Mr. Sovereign stated his hardship was if he moved the lot line over it
would be interfering in any future drainfield for his home and there
is no other land available. Also, these are the biggest two lots on
the lake.
Mayor Morgan closed the public hearing at 8:24 p.m.
Arlyn Christ stated it does exceed the 60% size rule and meets the
average lot size. There is no other land available for an alternate
drainfield and it is improving a non -conforming lot.
M/S/P Morgan/Christ -• to grant a variance to the minimum lot size and
lake frontage based on. Mr. Sovereign needs an alternate site for a
drainfield for his existing home and it does meet the average lot size
of the neighborhood. (Motion carried 5-0).
M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - to give simple lot subdivision and preliminary
plat approval to Ken Sovereign for a two lot plat to be known as Olson
Lake Addition located in the NE quarter of the SE quarter of Section 8
and part of Government Lot 2 in Section g. (Motion carried 5-0).
7. PUBLIC HEARING : Variance for Required Parking Spaces,
Landscaped Buffer Strip and Screening -Site & Building Plan
Review, D.C. Sales Company, 9242 Hudson Road
Mayor Morgan opened up the public hearing at 8:33 p.m. in the City
Council chambers.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 7
The DC Sales Company wishes to construct a 17,000 sq.ft. addition to
its building located at 9242 Hudson Boulevard. The addition will be
used as a warehouse for their retail/wholesale products. The site is
currently zoned Genera]. Business, and the owner has occupied the
building for several years along with two tenants, White Wolf Ski Shop
and BRS, Inc. The building addition will meet the expansion needs of
DC Sales and the White Wolf Company.
City Engineer Bohrer summarized the Variances.
1. Based on the floor space 51 parking spaces are required by code.
The request is 40. Bohrer had no trouble with the proposed 40 parking
spaces and felt DC Sales has shown there is a reserve for 48 more if
needed.
2. A 35' landscaped buffer strip is required when a GB zone abuts a
residential zone. This can be met on the east and north property
line. It cannot be met on the lower east side because of the proposed
in -out driveways.
3. Screening has not been shown on the site plan for the loading
docks along the west side. D.C. Sales stated that screening was not
planned up against the Lampert side because the loading docks will not
be visible, as the Lampert building will screen the loading docks.
4. Highway Overlay District does not permit painted block as an
allowable exterior finish.
5. The septic system for the existing building now will be ruined
with the new addition so a new system will have to be built. It is
difficult to size now because the area where the drainfield
will be in the rear and extensive grading will be going on so soil
tests cannot be taken. There is more than sufficient area for a
septic system.
Mayor Morgan closed the public hearing at 9:52 p.m.
M/S/P Dunn/Mazzara - to grant a variance for a 35' landscaping buffer
strip because D.C. Sales needs as much capacity for water retention as
possible and if the driveway was taken from the loading dock door on
the SE corner this would create a safety hardship. (Motion carried
5-0).
M/S/P Mazzara/Morgan - to grant a variance for screening based on the
Lampert building being right on the property line. (Motion carried
5-0).
M/S/P Christ/Mazzara - to grant a variance for painted block because
the existing building is already painted block. (Motion carried 5-0).
D.C. Sales will furnish to the Building Inspector the cost estimate on
the landscaping based on the estimated construction cost.
8. PUBLIC HEARING : Variance to Size of Accessory Structure in
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 8
the Rural Residential Zone -Steve Pott, 4212 Lake Elmo Ave. N.
Mayor Morgan opened up the public hearing at 9:06 in the City Council
chambers.
Steve Pott owns 17 acres and wishes to construct an accessory
structure in the Rural Residential zoning district. The proposed
building would be 3,168 sq.ft. in size, whereas the City ordinance
allows a maximum of 2,000 sq.ft. The proposed 500 sq.ft. lean -two
will be for storage of hay and the animals.
Rose Armstrong looked up the RR zoning code (301.070.D2) and found the
chart stated that in 5-10 acres a 1,000 sq.ft. accessory building is
allowed, 10+ acres 2,000 sq.ft. is allowed. She felt the intention of
the ordinance is if you have more than 10 acres in RR you could have a
building size according to the size of your lot. Armstrong suggested
that the Planning Commission put this on their work plan.
City Attorney Knaak stated that on 17 acres, Steve Pott would be
allowed 4 cow equivalents.
Mayor Morgan closed the public hearing at 9:12 p.m.
M/S/P Morgan/Christ - to grant a, variance for the size of an accessory
structure in the RR zone to Steve Pott at 4212 Lake Elmo Avenue.
(Motion carried 5-0).

7. Recission of the Interstate Corridor Overlay District
The Planning Commission recommended elimination of this overlay
district, although there were some members who wanted to keep it and
improve.upon it. The concern of the majority of members included the
vagueness of the language, the fact that developers could proceed with
their project once they had. met these performance standards and the
opinion that the overlay district itself was an invitation or
encouragement for development along I-94.
City Administrator Overby stated that both he and the City Attorney
( feel that there is and will continue to be a need for some type of
additional land use/development controls allowing the I-94 corridor,
and that it would be better to retain and improve the existing overlay
district rather than completely eliminating it.
