5. REAPP UPDATE
Todd Williams reported that they appeared before the County Board on
August 2.3rd with their input for cohxsideration in the scoping
decision. The decision on adopting the scoping decision was postponed
until September 20th. The Board requested Attorney Dayton, who
represented the City, submit additional written documentation
regarding his comments about inclusional alternatives and the public
trust doctrine
Councilman Johnson commented that since the County Commissioners
requested that Attorney Dayton follow-up with documentation, is there
a chance that the County Commissioners pay for this. Todd responded
that we could try, but unfortunately we are the ones that are trying
to convince them of something.
At Councilman Johnson's request, Administrator Morrison has asked for
clarification on a bill of $1700+ for the August 23rd meeting by the
Dayton firm. The Council had put a cap of $700 for this meeting and
informed the Dayton firm of such cap. Ellen Sampson told Morrison
that she had not seen the bill and requested, before it is presented
to Council, that she have an opporruntiy to look at it.
Todd has sent to Ellen Sampson, Dayton's representative, a history of
the landfill siting process in Washington County in order to find out
the history of the other sites. Todd was not sure what additional cost
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1988 PAGE 2
will be generated as a result of this. When they were asked as to how
much time it would take, he answered 4 hrs/half a day. REAPP would be
willing to help pay for this additional input into the scoping
process.
6. PLANNING/LAND USE/ZONING
A. SHORELAND PERMIT (FILL)
Jim Douglas, 8001 50th St.
Jim Douglas, recent owner of the home at 8001 50th St., is asking the
City's permission to fill (approx. 80 cu.yd.) in a wet, low area. in
the right-of-way in front of his house and divert the water, that has
been ponding, directly to the lake. The DNR had no objections to this
shoreland permit request.
In addition, Mr. Douglas would like to take out some of the existing
trees off the City's property and plant some pine trees. With
addition of this fill, Mr. Douglas feels he is improving the land
because it is a ditch now with weeds and tires and junk being dumped
in there.
City Administrator Morrison, City Engineer Bohrer, Building Official
McNamara examined the site because Mr. Douglas is asking to put the
fill in the City right-of-way. As a result of the visit, Bohrer
recommended that a culvert should be installed under the driveway, in
conjunction with the filling, as the Driveway is higher than the
ground on either side. With snow melt and heavy rains, water
accumulates because it cannot get to Lake Olson which is the natural
direction. Because it is a brushy area, it has been used by other
people for throwing off trash, tire and concrete chunks causing it to
be an unsitely dumping ground. Bohrer contended that this filling is
reasonable because we don't need the right-of-way for anything other
than drainage purposes. This area is in the shoreland area, but its
need for storage in a very high flood condition is negligible.
City Engineer Bohrer commented that the right of -way that passes Mr.
Douglas' property is 80 feet wide. The travelway is on the very
northerly edge of the r-o-w, therefore, from the south edge of the
blacktop there 4.s about 50 feet of r-o-w set aside.
Councilman Johnson visited the site and suggested the City staff work
with Mr. Douglas to identify what trees should be saved and remove the
scrub trees, and, limit the fill so there would not be a tree loss.
Being this is City property, the entire City has a vested interest in
this property and it would only be reasonable to work out a plan with
the City staffs Johnson stated,
Councilman Moe has received telephone calls voicing objection to
removal of the trees on the City property. Moe would not be adverse to
Douglas planting pine trees.
When Councilwoman Armstrong drove through the area she saw many trees
overhanging on the road at that point, but at the neighbor's yard
there are not any trees. Trees have been cleared in the area of the
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1988 PAGE 3
(Amended.9-20-88) eastern could
erial wires p& 8pugl.as'^ propertyline and Rose felt more shee3d be
cleared. Taking, hese trees down would not change the neighborhood.
Armstrong felt replacing the trees would be the proper thing to do.
Councilman Graves voiced his concern of the amount of fill he is going
to place and where. Graves thought it would be appropriate for the
staff and Mr. Douglas to identify which major trees should be saved
and which trees can be removed and determine an equitable replacement
program as to species, size and replacement. He also felt it was
necessary to maintain the drainage off of the street onto the
property.
Planning Commission Chairman, Steve DeLapp, received a call from Mr.
Douglas' neighbor voicing his concern on changing the character of the
neighborhood. DeLapp asked for a better understanding of what Mr.
Douglas is proposing to do.
Bohrer saw definite beneiftss with the addition of the culvert it
would aid the drainage in the area, with some fill to create smooth
slopes and terrain where Mr. Douglas can maintain it in a form of lawn
mowing it would discourage indiscriminate dumping, it would lend
itself to co-ordinating this project with the septic system project.
There will be excess dirt by digging up the drainfield trenches and
this would be a logical place to dispose of the dirt. From an
engineering standpoint, Bohrer saw no detriment to the proposal.
M/S/P Graves/Moe - to grant approval of a shoreland permit to James
Douglas, 8001 50th St., to place additional fill, not to exceed 80
cu.yds., in the City right -of --way, in front of his property, with the
stipulation the fill should be stabilized with some type of seeding as
soon as possible so it doesn't wash off.; the drainage of the property
be retained so the water runs on the property, that a culvert be added
under his driveway at his expense to permit the flow to move down to
the lake; that Mr. Douglas interact with the City Office
(Administrator, City Engineer, Building Insp.) to identify which trees
should be salvagable and new trees planted should be of size (6' for
evergreens, 10' hardwoods). (Motion carried 4-0).
7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT
A. C.S.A.H. SYSTEM CHANGES
RESOLUTION NO. 88-38
City Engineer Bohrer reported that Washington County has been studying
the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) and County Road (CR) systems for
several years. Two of the county roads which are in need of
reconstruction are Inwood Avenue from 15th Street to Stillwater
Boulevard and loth Street from I-694 to Manning Avenue. If these
roads were CSAH, another source of funding would be available for this
reconstruction. However, the CSAH mileage is fixed in that the CSAH
designation must be transferred from one highway to another. A letter
from the County Public Works Director, a sample resolution and maps
showing the proposed changes were available for the Council's review.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1.988 PAGE; 4
Bohrer pointed out advantages to the County's redesignation plan.
Firstly, 10th Street is in need of reconstruction and CSAH designation
would provide another source of funding for this work. Secondly, 15th
Street from Inwood Avenue to the West City limits is badly in need of
reconstruction. If Inwood Avenue were CSAH, the City may be able to
designate 15th Street as Municipal State Aid, since 15th Street in
Oakdale is already MSA.
Bohrer stated that with this plan there would be no changes in funding
for maintenance and reconstruction, roads should be improved more
quickly, therefore, he recommended that the City Council approve the
County resolutions.
M/S/P Moe/Graves - resolved that Resolution No. 88-38, establishing
and revoking certain highway designations, is hereby, approved as
submitted. (Motion carried 4-0).
B. PAYMENT NO. 1: DANNER, INC.
Larry Bohrer requested a partial payment in the amount of $86,71.7.42
to Danner Inc., for work performed to -date in connection with the 47th
Street MSA Improvements. Work that remains is the final shaping of
slopes and ditches and seeding.
M/S/P Graves/Moe - resolved that Payment No. 1 to Danner, Inc., in the
amount of $86,717.42, is hereby approved for work performed to date in
connection with the 1988 47th Street MSA Improvement. (Motion carried
4-0).
C. APPRAISAL - S. ZIBELL PROPERTY
An appraisal of the Sally Zibell property at 10572. 43rd St. N, was
made for the purpose of estimating the Fair Market Value of the
damages to this property due to the right-of-way acquisition by the
City of Lake Elmo.
William Schwab., Penfield, Inc., provided the following analysis in
his letter, dated August 24, 1988.
Market Value of the subject before the
right -of --way acquisition: $84,750.00
Market Value of the subject after
the right -of -•way acquisition: $1.0,400.00
Total Indicated Damages: $74,350.00
Mrs. Zibell will, be building her new home this year and asked if she
would be able to take the White Pines she had planted and transplant them
around her new home.
M/S/P Graves/Moe - to give City Council approval to Sally Zibell to
remove any vegetation from her 2.8 acres. (Motion carried 4-0).
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1988 PAGE 5
Larry Bohrer explained tty�.t, ��11r�s a ,,ibS42y_a yld have the use of her
house throughout 1988 andAit989 ecause construction of the road will
not be interferred with. At a later date, bids will be let out for
relocation or demolishion of the house and to include proper
arrangements for the septic system, well and fuel oil tank.
M/S/P Graves/Moe - resolved that the appraisal, submitted by Penfield,
Inc., for the purchase of property located at 10572 43rd St. as
legally described by the appraisal document and being purchased in
connection with the MSA Construction of 43rd and Kimbro is hereby
accepted and approved in the amount of $74,350.00, and further, that
the Council hereby offers Sally Zibell this appraisal amount for said
property. (Motion carried 4-0).
D. REVIEW OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT: IMPERVIOUS SURFACE STANDARDS:
GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
Due to lack of concensus, this matter was continued from the August
16th meeting to September 6th.
Considering the survey statistics, the Planning Commission
recommendation, as well as the Council's discussion at the last
meeting, the staff asked the Council to consider 1.) maximum
impervious surface coverage (building and parking lot) of 45% for all
parcels in the General Business District, together with 2.) direction
for review by Planning Commission and staff, of provision for
landscape requirements, setting of architectural standards and review
of park dedication requirements.
City Engineer Larry Bohrer provided drawings depicting layouts for an
office -type building on a 1 1/2 acre lot for 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%
maximum impervious surface. The drawings showed that 50% impervious
is about the practical maximum for a one-story office type building.
Multi -story buildings would create less impervious surface than single
story building of comparable floor area. Uses such as
office -warehouse need less area for drainfields and would create
impervious surface in excess of 50%.
Councilman Johnson suggested the following:
up to 3 acres 40%
3 to 8 acres 30%
8+ acres 20%
total impervious surface
11 11 O
if 11 it
Roger Knutson, representing Lake Elmo Bank, explained that the
architect for the new LE Bank stated that 10,000 sq.ft. is needed for
the bank. This would be a minimum of 45% on 4 acres.
Ed Stevens, Planning Commission member, suggested that the LE Bank ask
the City for a variance because they have already designed their bank.
Mike Lynskey, Manager of Lake Elmo Business Park, stated that less
than. 50% coverage was awfully restrictive. At the time the
application for the Brookman Addition was brought in, Lynskey reported
the County's coverage was 60%.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1988 PAGE 6
Councilman Graves expressed his wishes for a higher total impervious
surface and suggested the following:
Up to 5 acres 45% total impervious coverage
5 to 10 acres 35% IV of"
10+ acres 25% it it"
Councilman Johnson felt this was too high and asked if they could
reach some type of middle ground. Therefore, the following motion was
made:
M/S/P Graves/Johnson - resolved that the Council hereby directs the
City Attorney, and staff, to draft an amendment to Section
301.070D.7.C(5) of the City Code to state:
Lot Size, up to 4 acres, total impervious surface covered area of
maximum 45% of lot size; 4.1 to 8 acres, 35% total impervious surface;
and above 8 acres, 2.5% total impervious surface coverage. (Motion
carried 3-1<Armstrong: Good planning for the City is to preserve our
open space because this is what the people would want>). Don Moe
added that he was not happy with the sliding scale, but voted for the
45% coverage.
M/S/P Graves/Johnson - resolved that the Council hereby directs the
Planning Commmission and staff to review landscape requirements and
architectural standards in the General Business District, and further,
to review park dedication requirements in all Districts for
recommendation to Council. (Motion carried 4-0).
8. REPORT ON MPCA MEEETING: COUNCILMEN GRAVES & JOIiNSON
In response to the City's request of June 13th for a hearing before
the MPCA Board, (pursuant to MPCA Permit stipulation), Doug iIall,
Supervisor of the Permit Unit, requested a meeting with the City.
This two hour meeting was held on Wednesday, August 31st, at City
Hall.
Present were:

MPCA Position:
The County's proposal to make a direct discharge of Gradient Well #1,
to the VBWD's Tr.i-Lakes outlet storm sewer, meets all of the MPCA's
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1988 PAGE 7
requirements for water quality and all other parameters. With the
approval of this Permit, the clean-up process would be speeded up.
City's Position:
The length of time between water sampling and testing is not adequate
to detect any unanticipated large release of• pollutants. The opinion
of Councilmen Graves and Johnson and City Staff was that, at a
minimum, the frequency of testing of the discharge water be increased
to monthly, and that PCB's be included in the testing process.
Further, that some method of air stripping should be conducted on
Gradient Control #1 discharge, prior to entering the VBWD's system.
Additionally, other items to be considered include:
(1) Batching and testing be performed prior to release to VBWD system;
(2) Consideration be given to alternate of excavation of landfill;
(3) Further consideration be given to provision, by Wash. & Ramsey
Counties, to provide a neighborhood water supply system; and,
(4) Consideration be given to pursuing a formal hearing before the
full MPCA Board.
Councilmen Johnson and Graves suggested that the City pursue their
initial request for a formal hearing; before the full MPCA Board and
to continue denial of access across Jamaca until they are assured that
the water is clean.
The City Engineer informed the Council they could consider granting a
license for a certain time period which gives the City an opportunity
to review it.
The Council authorized the City Administrator and City Engineer
telephone Mary Luth, in a 3-way conversation, and reiterate that as a
result of the August 31st meeting, the City will not withdraw their
request for a formal hearing before the full MPCA Board and would deny
access across Jamaca until the frequency of testing of the discharge
water be increased to monthly, Batching and testing be performed prior
to release to VBWD system. Only then the City would consider a new
proposal from the County.
9. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT
City Attorney Knaak presented his Pending Litigation Report to the
City Council.
In regard to the 201 Condemnation File, the City Attorney will
continue discussion with the County Attorney and anticipates having a
firmer recommendation for the City by the next meeting.

FIRE
CHIEF'S REPORT
A. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS:
PERSONNEL CARRIER
Fire Chief Frank Pott prepared the bid specification for a personnel
carrier for the Council's consideration and requested authority to
advertise for bids. The personnel carrier was defined in the Fire
Department's Capital Improvement Program for. 1988. Estimated cost of
carrier is $22,850. Chief Pott felt the 4-wheel Suburban type vehicle
fits their needs best and would carry 5 people with their gear. This
vehicle would fit in the Fire Hall without any changes. During the
Budget workshop, the Council will discuss putting the personnel
carrier on an equipment certificate.
M/S/P Johnson/Graves - to approve advertising for bids for a new
4-wheel drive Suburban type personnel carrier as defined in the
prepared bid specifications. (Motion carried 4-0).
B. DISCUSSION: MAHTOMEDI PROVIDING FIRE SERVICE TO GREEN ACRES
Chief Pott requested the City authorize the Administrator to formalize
with the City of Mahtomedi a response to fire and ambulance calls to
Green Acres. For some time, both Mahtomedi fire and ambulance and
Lake Elmo fire and ambulance have responded to Green Acre calls which
Chief Pott felt was an unwarranted duplicity of service unless the
call merits mutual aid.
The City Attorney saw a liability issue and suggested the City join in
a Joint Powers Agreement. The Council authorized the City
Administrator and City Attorney, formalize a Joint Powers Agreement
with the City of Mahtomedi.
C. DISCUSSION: FIRE RUNS 1988
Chief Pott informed the Council of the increase in fire runs in 1988
with an estimate of an overrun of $6,000. In 1987 there were 202
calls, as of August 23, 1988 there were 202 calls. This is mainly due
to grass and accident calls, not structure fires. At the end of the
year Chief Pott is estimating 25 firefighters; at this time there are
18 firefighters.
D. DISCUSSION: HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RESPONSE
OSHA has recently placed some rather strong requirements on Fire
Departments who are called for response to possible hazardous material
sites. Chief Pott suggested these calls be contracted out to the St.
Paul Fire Dept, with an effort to have Washington County assume
contract responsibilities and costs. ($800/yr.--standby; $350/hr. upon
response). Chief Pott will update the Council on the negotiations
with the County.

11. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
A. RESOLUTION NO. 88-37: ADOPTING RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULE
This matter was presented to the Council on August 16th. At that time
it was determined that further review was appropriate. Councilwoman
Armstrong reviewed which records would be retained and felt it was
appropriate to adopt the records retention schedule.
M/S/P Johnson/Graves - resolved that the Council hereby approves
Resolution No. 88-37 Adopting a Records Retention Schedule for the
City of Lake Elmo. (Motion carried 4-0).
B. REQUEST FOR FUNDING: YOUTH SERVICE BUREAU
The City received a letter from the St. Croix Valley Youth Service
Bureau requesting financial support. The City did at one time (late
1970's) make a donation, but since that time, City Council's have
declined similar requests. There was no provision made in the 1988
Budget for a donation of this type. The Council felt since we use
this service, suggested consideration be resubmitted at budget time
for 1989. City Administrator Morrison -will find out more information
about this organization and report back to the Council.
i.
C. DISCUSSION: BUDGET WORKSHOP
When Finance Director, Marilyn Banister, has finalized the draft 1.989
proposed Budget, the City Administrator will call the City Council
members to set up a possible budget workshop on Wednesday, September.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Pat Morrison, City Administrator
SUBJECT: INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Mayor Christ will be late --and/or may be unable to attend the September
6th meeting.
NOTE: Your agenda packet for the Special Council meeting of September 8th
(Assessment Hearings) is also enclosed.
Park Dedication Fees, Brookman Addition:
At the August 16th Council meeting, the Council approved the Final Plat of
Brookman, 3rd Addition, (Resolution No. 88-36), deleting park dedication
fee requirements.
For your information, we did research our files and were able to determine
park dedication fees for Brookman 1st, 2nd and 3rd Additions were paid at
the time Brookman's 1st Addition was approved (see attached letter dated
October 2, 1978). Phase 1 was 14.7 acres, Phase 2 was 24.6 acres and
Phase 3 was 11.8 acres with roads encompassing 6.6 acres.
Contract with Junker (Compost):
Mr. Junker has not paid the outstanding statement of $5,115.34 yet, nor
has he signed the Contract. His organization has made one additional
deposit at the compost site. We have advised them that no further dumping
will be allowed until such time as his bill has been paid.
Sheriff's Department:
We are now receiving copies of Log Sheets indicating daily activities of
Deputies responsible for Lake Elmo; if the Council would like to see
these, please advise and I will copy for you.
Rent - City Hall:
Mr. Henning has made provision for payment of back rental due the City
(see attached letter). He did request that the City fix the foundation of
the building; in the northeast corner there is apparently a problem as the
basement floods out when it rains.
We had an inquiry about renting the building from Stephen Hodder, 3348 N.
Lake Elmo Avenue; he apparently has a glass-blowing business.
No Parking, T.H.5:
We have received a request from a resident to post T.H. 5, in front of
Lake Elmo Oil, with no -parking due to safety factors when turning onto
T.H. 5, from Lake Elmo Avenue. I have contacted MnDOT, Dist. 9, to
request they study this area for: no -parking signs and report back to the
City.
Water Advisory Committee:
Chairman Hugh Madson will be reporting to the Council at the September
20th meeting with the Committee's recommendations. Letters have been sent
to water users (8) who have substantial delinquencies on payment for
water.
Adjustments: October Meetings:
The Planning Commission will be adjusting its first meeting in October
(October 10) as this is a legal Holiday (Columbus Day).
The Council's second meeting in October (October 18) will. need to start at
8:30 p.m., or be moved to another date, as this is the day of the School
District's referendum (they will be using City Hall as a polling precinct
as they cannot use the school due to 1988 legislative requirements).

Lake Elmo, MN 55042
RE: Rental Payment; 11194 Upper 33rd Street
Dear Doug:
In accordance with our conversation today, it is my understanding
that you agree to the following payment schedule for back rental
payment on property located at 11194 Upper 33rd Street:
August 30, 1988 $1,000 Paid 8/30/88
October 15, 1988 $2,000
December 15, 1988 $3,000
These payments are in addition to the regular $500 monthly payment
due. Compliance with this schedule will eliminate the need for an
interest charge on the unpaid balance, as we discussed.
Also, our Building Inspector, Jim McNamara, will check the water
problem you are experiencing in the northeast corner of the
basement and determine what needs to be done to correct this
problem.
Again, thank you for taking the time to come in and work with the
City on the payment schedule.
Sincee•ly,
Patricia Morrison
City Administrator

Re: Park Dedication for Brookman Addition
Dear Mr.Mehsikomer:
The owners of Brookman Addition desire to pay the park
dedication for this proposed plat. Section 902.03 of the
Subdivision Ord. defines the required dedication for a new
subdivision to be 10% of the market value of land prior to
subdivision.
The present market value of the land (57.81 acres)_as
based on the 1978 tax statement is $ 42497. This value ex"
cludes the market value of the house and farm buildings.
The value includes the 2.51 acre tract which was sold to
Stillwater School Dist. No. 834. The $ 42497 (area exclud-
c- 57.81
ing T.N. 212 and Co.Rd. 17 easements)= $ 735.12 per acre.
The remaining balance of land is 57.81 - 2.51 (school tract)
= 55.30 acres. At $ 735.12 per acre times 55.30 acres times
10% = $ 4065.21 park dedication.
A check in that amount is enclosed. If you have any
questions regarding the computations, please contact me at
your earliest convience. .
Very truly yours,
ce—
