NOTES
Councilman Hunt: There was discussion on modifying the existing land use
plan. L. Bohrer indicated that the land there perhaps was not appropriate
for anything more;for one house (executive homesites for single family)
or high class townhouse in order to work around the wetlands.
Councilman Graves: A possibility exists that an extension of public
facilities can be done on a staged basis.
Larry Bohrer: Land Use Definitions could be different in Section 32
than the rest of Lake Elmo because the standards will be completely
different. They should also be called something different,

M/S/P Hunt/Graves - to approve pursuing negotiations of DPRA and Geraghty

5. Request for Action --Roadside Clean -Up, David Johnson
David Johnson, Connco Shoes, wrote the City a letter concerning the
problem with roadside litter and discarded furniture along the roads of
Sections 32 and 33 of the City. Johnson asked the city change their
policy to simply having the City maintenance personnel pick up any of this
litter that is in the right-of-way as a part of their regular maintenance
routine.
Councilman Graves felt this was the consequence of having large lots in
the City, and he suggested the City clean up the debris once, and after
the initial clean-up, charge the property owner for any clean-up expense.
Councilman Moe stated he would rather take the expense of clean-up out of
the General Fund because he does riot like charging the propertyowners for
other people that are irresponsible. Hunt responded he felt this would
start a dangerous precedent.
Councilman Hunt and Williams favored a more aggressive enforcement of our
existing policies and ordinances for the rest of 1989 and re-evalute the
situation for 1990. Letters or contacts will be made to the involved
propertyowners reminding them of Clean -Up Day, May 13th, is approaching
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 18, 1989 PAGE 3
for disposing of their litter. After this, we will ask them to dispose of
this litter at their own expense and the City intends to attach any fees,
for clean-up of their property, to their property taxes.
Councilman Hunt also suggested the City address in the Newsletter on how
to dispose of large objects, recycling info, and once a year drop off
where the City charges a small fee similar to Clean -Up days. This might
control some of the dumping within the City. In order to take care of the
refuse generated from outside of the City, we can ask the cooperation of
the surrounding cities, Wash. County Sheriff, and the Highway Patrol to be
aware of trucks or trailers that are carrying refuse in the City.
6. PLANNING/LAND USE/ZONING:
A. Comprehensive Plan Report: Dick Johnson
Dick Johnson reported that at the last PZ meeting comments were made as to
what should go into the plan. Johnson felt he was in a position now where
he needed direction from the Council. The plan as it now exists, with
some of the modifications that were recommended, some minor changes with
regard to goals and policies, typographical or grammatical errors, can be
handled by the PZ and the Subcommittee. If there are to be major changes
in the Goals and Policies, such as including RE Zoning, Johnson
recommended using a professional planner.
Councilman Graves stated the Plan provides a good basis to start making
alterations. Up until two weeks ago there was nothing in writing, in one
place, and felt this would be more representative of a planning document.
As he stated at the Joint Meeting, Graves indicated the Plan does present
good info but was disappointed in no long range planning, beyond year
1991.
Councilman Hunt felt the Council will have to look for a compromise
document that would take the overall goals and needs of the City into
account. By the direction of the CC, the PZ, despite their objections,
updated the numbers and adopted the current zoning map as the Future Land
Use Map. With the inclusion of Residential Estates, Hunt felt this plan
would get the city moving and addressing some of the future problems seen
over the next two years. He would not be in favor of hiring a planner,
without having the 1990 census, to find out how close we are to our
projections. Hunt would be in favor of the PZ continuing with integrating
this into the Plan.
Commissioner Johnson stated the PZ has approved a RE map as a plan for RE,
but believes there is a lot more to do than just inserting this map into
the Comp Plan.
Hunt responded that this is what we paid the planner for. The RE Future
Land Use Map, which was reviewed by the PZ, draft ordinances with comments
on the philosophy that was in the PZ original document, show how they
should not be in the actual zoning ordinances, but where it should be in
our ordinances. Using that particular document, modified by our PZ, could
be the map we need.
Admin. Morrison advised the Council that the RE map, which was presented
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES A,PRIL 18, 1989 PAGE 4
j by the Planner, coincided with the ordinance. If we should go with th RE
map prepared by the PZ, the proposed ordinance, prepared by the City
Planner, would need to be amended. Williams felt the recommended
ordinances submitted by the planner should serve as a sound basis of any
ordinance we would want to adopt.
and several_ others
Williams stated hegtook the time to read the Comp Plan carefully and
submitted a number of suggested corrections in the spirit that we all had
agreed to take the 1986 plan and rework it slightly and use the existing
zoning map ffor the LUMa on an interim co prom s . He asked Moe & Graves
why they Hid not su�mit Mitten comments. AAmmen e 4-24-89)*
If a Council worksession is to be held, Graves urged the City Admin to
consolidate what she would perceive to be a consensus agreement on what
the majority of the Council would agree on beforehand. This would be a
point from which we could start a discussion. Williams would like to see
in writing specific problems, that Moe and Graves, have with the plan.
Graves responded there are statements in the plan for no planning for
commercial development at all along I-94. With^�hat.typ� of statement in
the Plan, Graves felt we might as well restrict a�ni
er i g north of loth
Street and watch Oakdale and Woodbury fight over the properties.
A Council worksession on the Comp Plan will be held on Tuesday, April
25th, at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall.
B. Rezoning RR-R1, Packard Park 3rd Addition, Gene Peltier
C. PRD Concept Plan, The Forest, Morton/Engstrom
On March 7th, the City Council directed the PZ to review, on a city-wide
basis appropriate future R-1 placem ntithi h a review inclusion
and consideration of The Forestanda `Ic= s a� tad-e- 9_Vi-ew--of
-th'e-Paeka-r-d--Pmt-r -r-dAd ien, for consequent amendment of the Comp Plan
and return with their recommendation for the April 4th Council meeting.
The PZ discussed potential future R1 zoning in the City and made the
following motion:
"M/S/P DeLapp/Dick Johnson - to recommend to the City Council that "The
Forest" and "Packard Park 3rd Addition" be rezoned to Rl based on the idea
that this rezoning will have inconsequential. impact on the Comp Plan and
the PZ indicated they will consider other areas at a future date for R-1
Zoning. (Motion carried 6-3: Dave Johnson: Packard Park 3rd Addn, is
already adjacent to R-1 Zoning and should be rezoned to R-•1. He
considered the Engstrom application as spotzoni.ng; Ann Bucheck: voted for
denial based on the water problem in the area; Steve DeLapp: submitted his
recommendations as referenced in Appendix B of PZ minutes).
Councilmen Williams was in favor of the concept plan, The Forest, in
concert with the 2 1/2 acre zoning proposal. He was not in favor of
voting for a rezoning because he wanted to see the PZ to look at the
entire City for R-1 areas, not just the two proposals.
Councilman Hunt would still stick by the CC decision on 3-7-89 and would
like to see RE Zoning in certain areas in the City.
Councilman Moe was willing to vote, now, on either development and amend
*Amended 4-2 -
Graves responded to Councilman Wms' statement that he made comments at the
4-10-89 Joint Meeting which are reflected in the minutes of this meeting.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 18, 1989 PAGE 5
(! the Comp Plan to include these Rl developments.
Mayor Dunn asked Bob Engstrom and Bruce Folz if they would consider
waiting two weeks, until after the PZ meeting and their worksession on
April 25th. Mr. Engstrom answered he was going to make a formal request
tonight to postpone action on his concept plan. Mr. Folz responded they
have waited a year and felt the Council needed to make a decision because
he felt according to our ordinances and the Council's motion, Mr. Peltier
has not been denied their rezoning
Councilman Williams stated action had been taken by the Council on the
rezoning request by Gene Peltier. The Council did not approve the
rezoning request and, according to our code, the applicant has the right
to reapply in six months.
Councilman Hunt added that no formal action is needed on the Engstrom
concept plan. This plan can be brought back up at the next City Council
meeting, but noted this did not guarantee a four -fifths vote needed for
approval of a rezoning.
D. Shoreland Permit:
(1) Ronald Gritzmaker, 7851 50th St.
Shoreline Sand Placement
Mr. Ronald Gritzmaker, 7851 50th St., has applied for a 50' x 50' sand
blanket for in front of his house on Lake Olson. The DNR, VBWD and the
City Engineer have reviewed this application and had no problem or
concerns with the request.
M/S/P Moe/Hunt - to approve a shorel.and permit for Ronald Gritzmaker, 7851
50th Street, to allow him to place sand over a 100' area in front of his
house and leave the rest of the area in its natural state. (Motion
carried 5-0).
E. Resolution Opposing Oakdale Comp Plan Amendment
The PZ, at their meeting of April loth, after reviewing Oakdale's
amendment to their Comp Plan, which would allow for extension of the MUSA
Line to allow for development of Olson Lakes Estates, recommended Council
adoption of their Resolution 89-B. A copy of this resolution was
delivered to the staff of the Met Council on April. 13th with a copy sent
to the Oakdale Administrator.
The following changes were made:
WHEREAS, the available nearby recreational facilities needed to serve the
proposed area are all in Lake Elmo and are heavily used by Lake Elmo
residents,
WHEREAS, wildlife habitat is part of the City of Lake Elmo Ecosystem and
wetlands, would be damaged, and
WHEREAS, the quality of life for current residents of the surrounding area
will be adversely affected.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 18, 1989 PAGE 6
M/S/P hunt/Moe - resolved that Resolution 89-21, as amended, is hereby
approved. (Motion carried 5-0).

8. BUILDING INSP/CODE ENF. OFFICER REPORT:
A. Report on Cozy Cove Motel
Upon receiving a police report and numerous reports, Jim .McNamara reported
he retagged d kC� yaCove Motel owned by Elmer Haase for disrepair of the
property and^p an or cleanup and structural repair to the building. Jim
informed the Council that he did receive a call from a person interested
in buying the property, however, no sale has been made. At the time, Jim
has not heard from Mr. Hasse and believes the property and buildings are a
nuisance and health hazard to the public. Therefore Jim recommended the CC
instruct our attorney to bring condemnation proceedings against this
property.
M/S/P Graves/Moe - resolved that the Building Inspector/Code Enforcement
Officer, and the City's Attorney, are hereby authorized to proceed with
the necessary legal action toward condemnation of. the Cozy Cove Motel, in
accordance with the recommendation of the Building Insp/CEO. (Motion
carried 5-0).
B. Update on Misc. Actions
Building Official Jim McNamara g*,e the following updates:
Hammes Mining: With the help of Tom Haugen, Wash. County, Hammes Mining
completed this morning their last stipulation which was to burn ' the wood
(tree trunks,etc.) After-- the burn, they will spread the ashesaround and
cover it.
Rocking L Trailer Sales: Jim has spoke to Dr. Cindy Wolf, Univ of MN, and
found that llamas are considered grazing -type animals, basically
commercially fed, and relatively clean animals. These llamas are rasied
as pets and are show animals. Wolf did not address density, but Jim
stated he will come up with density guidelines for our code.
Gordon Bjornson Violation: Jim will be meeting on April 19th with Mr.
Bjornson and his attorney regarding a dumping violation on Mr. Bjornson's
property to determine if all has been properly cleaned up.

screening to prevent erosion into the pond. At the end of the 10-days Jim
will make an inspection to determine if these requirements have been met.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 18, 1989 PAGE 8
C. Purchase of Camera
Jim McNamara has requested purchasing a camera, up to $250, by the City
for City use only. When ordinance violations occur and pictures of
violations are necessary for prosecution, Jim would have to get his camera
from home.
Councilman Williams was in favor of purchasing a camera, but had a concern
this expenditure of $250 would significantly deplete the Building Official
supply budget that could create a problem later on.
M/S/P/ Williams/Graves - resolved that the Building Insp/Code Enf. Officer
is hereby authorized to purchase a camera for use in conjunction with City
business, in an amount not to exceed $250, said funds to be expended at
the recommendation of the budget director. (Motion carried 5-0).
9. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT:
A. Review of Fill. Permit:White Hat Restaurant
The City Council and staff have received inquiries on the status of the
fill pile south of the White Hat. A number of inquiries came in when the
City had the snow melt this spring and residents had some concern the pile
was blocking the drainage. Bohrer indicated the dirt pile was not
blocking the drainage.
According to Page 5 of the September 20, 1.988 Council minutes, a motion
was made to approve a fill permit f � e White Hat Restaurant for 20,000
cu.yds. of fill with further reviewA n £he eftd--e£-the spring. Under this
authority, Bohrer explained, is why we are reviewing it again in the
Spring. Also pointed out in the minutes was Mr. Gorman stating his septic
system will be relocated, and after the first of the year, he will pursue
his building permit --and he has not.
In Larry Bohrer's opinion, this 20,000 cu.yds. of fill should not be
stockpiled unless there is a firm plan on what he is planning on doing
with the fill or what the end product is going to be. Also, the statement
for further review again in the spring coincides with Mr. Gorman's intent
46 to apply for a building permit after the first of the year which would
require a full site plan. In Bohrer's review letter, dated June 19, 1987,
he stated final determination could not be made because there was
information lacking. The application was never taken any further than
that.
The filling continues without bringing forth of the site plan and the
building permit application, which may not have been a condition of the
Sept. 1988 permit, but it was offered, stated Larry Bohrer. The permit was
granted partially on the assumption that this site plan and building
application would be forthcoming with the filling operation. We see the
filling operation continue, but we don't see any movement on the site
plan.
( Mr. Gorman had called Engineer Bohrer to let him know he would not be
present at the meeting because of a conflict. Bohrer told him at that
time he felt uncomfortable with the 20,000 cu.yds. of fill without a final
plan being in place. Gorman answered he was moving ahead, but had no real
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
time schedule.
t
APRIL 18, 1989 PAGE 9
Bohrer felt that if the full 20,000 cu.yds is brought in there is a much
greater likelihood of interferring with drainage, dirt and dust uses and
erosion. Until such time, the City should suspend the fill operations.
It was Councilman's Graves understanding at the time, there was a definite
plan to be presented to the Council so that it would describe how the fill
would be utilized. He believed the reason Mr. Gorman was asking for the
fill permit last fall. was because of an opportunity was present for him to
acquire fill. reasonably priced.
M/S/P Williams/Graves - to direct the City Staff. and City Attorney to
notify Ed Gorman should suspend fill operations until the site plan has
been considered and approved by the City Council based on these Findings:
(Motion carried 5-0).
1. The filling continues without a site plan while it was
understood, last September that this site plan would be
forthcoming shortly after January 1, 1989.
2. The dirt being piled there constitutes a potential hazard
to the community because of obstruction of drainage, being
a source of windblown dust, and a slide hazard, and is
an unattractive nuisance.
B. Resolution No. 89-22:Resolution Awarding Bid,
Reconstruction of 43rd & Kimbro
City Engineer, Larry Bohrer, reported there were seven bids received for
reconstruction of 43rd Street and Kimbro Avenue. The low bidder was
Dresel Contracting from Forest Lake in the amount of $154,268.40. Bohrer
recommended the contract be awarded to the low bidder.
M/S/P Graves/Moe - resolved that Resolution No. 89-22, Awarding the Bid
for Reconstruction of 43d Street and Kimbro Avenue to Dresel Contracting
is hereby approved. (Motion carried 5-0).
C. Resolution No. 89-23:Resolution Awarding Bid,
Overlay/Ditching of 33rd St N.
City Engineer, Larry Bohrer, reported they received four bids for overlay
and ditching of 33rd St N. The low bidder was Alexander Construction of
Apple Valley in the amount of $28,913.20. The low bid was $2,200 higher
than the engineer's estimate. Bohrer advised the Council this may have
some assessment implication. This project is to be funded in part by MSA
municipal money maintenance and in part by direct assessments. If the bid
came in as estimated the assessment would be in line with what he told the
people at the Public Hearing which was about $1000 per lot. Another
expenditure of $1000 for a flagman was not anticipated.
l M/S/P Hunt/Graves - resolved that Resolution No. 89-23 awarding the bid
for overlay and ditching of 33rd Street to Alexander Construction, is
hereby approved. (Motion carried 5-0).
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 18, 1989 PAGE 10
Bohrer explained that much of the maintenance the city will be doing this
year will be under contract and paying for a lot of it with our state aid
maintenance money. $2.5,000 have been budgeted as part of the maintenance
budget for patch and overlay for this year. There was also a few thousand
dollars carried over from last year. Bohrer suggested if the cost does
exceed the estimate that was put together for the Public Hearing and would
cause the assessment to go over, a few thousand dollars could be used from
the patch and overlay fund.
Councilman Williams would be in favor of covering the overage with the
budgeted patch and overlay fund.
Councilman Graves asked why the increase in the bid and did not want it
viewed as a precedent that the city will take care of any money
difference. Graves also had a concern with allocating funds from the
general maintenance portion of the budget because he wants to make sure
they can take care of the rest of the city out of that fund.
Bohrer responded that 33rd St. is unique in where we have only one side
with houses that can be assessed and every lot is a corner lot. It was
difficult to come up with an assessment formula that was fair.
Prior to the next meeting, the Maintenance Foreman and City Engineer will
formulate all the road needs in the City. His intention is not to cut any
portion short.
D. Section 32 Discussion
Larry Bohrer presented his memorandum on what his understanding'of the
results of the staff planning meeting on April 10th to discuss further
implementation of a Section 32 Action Plan.
A copy will be inserted in the file with the additions requested by the
Council. (See Memorandum).
Before any dates are set, Hunt suggested to wait until the next City
Council meeting when the planner will. submit his review and contact will
be made with Public Financial Services.
10. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
A. Parks Committee Recommendation: Olympic Festival Com.
The Council was given the timetable/calendar of events and requested to
approve use of Lake Elmo for the Olympic events and authorize formation of
the Committee.
Dick Acree, 2985 Lake Elmo Avenue, submtted a letter to the Council
expressing concern about traffic and parking on Lake Elmo Avenue and
tresspassing during the event. Questionnaires have been received from
other lake residents and will be copied and sent to the Council.

M/S/P Williams/Hunt to reconsider the compost agreement. (Motion carried
5-0).
Since Councilman Williams requested a clarification on the word "will" the
staff clarified this in the cover sheet and changed this wording to "can"
The proposed wording was fine, but Councilman Williams preferred "may".
M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to approve the City of Lake Elmo enter into a
Compost Agreement for 1989 with Washington County, as amended. (Motion
carried 5-0).
C. Request for Approval:Appointment of permanent Part -Time
Clerical Employee
The City Administrator reported we received eleven applications and
interviewed four applicants. Based on her enthusiasm for the job, the
staff recommended the Council approve Nancy Kuckler as the permanent
part-time clerical employee.
M/S/P Moe/Dunn - resolved that the City Admin, is hereby authorized to
hire Nancy Kuckler, 1.4258 Oldfield Ct., Stillwater, MN as the City's
permanent part-time clerical employee effective as of May 1, 1989 at $5.00
per Hr. 20 hours per week with prorated vacations and sick leave. (Motion
carried 5-0).
D. Board of Review Schedule
M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to bring back for consideration the motion of the
Board of Review. (Motion carried 4-1 Moe).
Concilman Willimas gave his reason for voting for this motion was based on
Don Moe stating that previous Councils would adjourn to the restaurant,
once a month, and the city would pay for their dinner. Williams has
talked to past Council people and found that has not been the case. The
Council would adjourn to a restaurant, but the council would pay for their
own dinner tab, and he does not want to start a precedent.
( Councilman Graves recalled two years ago, at Board of Review time, they
adjourned to the Lake Elmo Inn, Frank Langer was also invited, and
conducted Administrator's Overby's review.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRI.L 18, 1989 PAGE. 12
Councilman Moe responded you can go back into the minutes and see at
Council meetings, on a monthly basis, they adjourned to the restaurant and
the City picked up the tab.
Councilman Williams was interested in going to dinner without the dinner
tab being picked up by the City.
M/S/P Williams/Aunt - to rescind the previous motion on adjourning for
dinner at City's expense during the time of the Board of Review. (Motion
carried 3-2 Graves: nice gesture by the city; Moe: a precedent had been
started.)
11. SADEC
Rob Enes has expressed his desire for reappointment to SADEC. The Council
felt Mr. Enes was doing a good job. Therefore, made the following motion.
M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to reappoint Rob Enes as the City's representative
to SADEC. (Motion carried 5-0).
M/S/P Moe/Graves - to adjourn the City Council meeting at 10:30 p.m.
(Motion.carried 5-0).

RE: Purchase of Camera
I would like to request a camera be purchased by the City for City
use only. In the past when an ordinance violation occurs and
pictures are necessary, I would have to get a camera from home or
Mary would bring her camera to work. There are times when
pictures of a violation are required for prosecution and it is
necessary to have good pictures --not polaroid shots. I am sure
the camera would also be used in conjunction with our newsletter.
I would like to see the Council approve spending up to $250.00 for
a camera.
Thanks
Since we do not have time to discuss every point presented, it may
seem that decisions are preconceived. However, background information
is provided for the City Council on each agenda item in advance from
City Staff and appointed Commissions; and decisions are based on this
information and past experiences. In addition, some items may also
have been discussed at previous Council meetings. If you are aware of
information that hasn't been discussed, please fill out a "Request to
Appear Before the City Council." slip; or, if you came late, raise your
hand to be recognized. Comments that are pertinent are appreciated.
Items requiring excessive time may be continued to another meeting.
