j 7. PLANNING/LAND USE/ZONING:
A. PUBLIC HEARING: (1) Variance --Lot Size Requirement in Shorel.and
Ord.
John Prokosch, 10907 32nd St. N.
Mayor Dunn opened up the Public Hearing at 9:18 p.m. in the City Council
chambers. Notice of the public hearing was duly published and sent.
There was no one to speak for or against the proposal.
John Prokosch, 1.0907 32nd St. N., has applied for a lot side variance and
a variance for frontage on a public road. The applicant proposes to
demolish their existing home and construct a new larger home. This house
is served by a collector septic system call Old Village Remote C. The Code
requires that whenever a non -conforming home is destroyed by more than
50%, the new structure shall meet the provision of the code. The DNR had
no concern with this request.
City Engineer, Larry Bohrer, presented his review, dated June 5, 1989.
Bohrer stated the application, as proposed, would require variances for
lot size, structure setback from the water, and minimum building
elevation. Lot size usually relates to the land area needed for sewage
treatment, but.this lot has City water and an off -site sewage treatment
system. The septic system is sized properly to accommodate the 4-bedroom
house proposed. The setback from the water is not reduced from what it or
the neighbors is today.
Mr. Prokosch stated he would be filling an area 50 x 50 x 3 ft., 200 feet
from the lake. He would be willing to add fill and raise the house
elevation to 892. (The Shoreland Ordinance requires a minimum floor
elevation of 892. ) The house would be moved 10 feet toward to accomodate
the deck, so the edge of the would be in the same location as the house is
now from the lake. Prokosch talked to his two neighbors and they had no
problem with the proposed project.
Mayor Dunn closed the public hearing at 9:30 p.m.
Larry Bohrer stated he had a concern that the finished landscaping would
not shed water on the adjacent propertyowner and the drainfield be marked
out in the yard so that no construction traffic drives over it. This can
be inspected by the Building Official.
Councilman Graves stated. his concern, if this existing house is being
"destroyed" more than 50%, then the new home should meet the provision of
the rode.
M/S/P Williams/Graves - to grant a lot size variance and setback from the
Ordinary High Water Mark and a shoreland permit and fill permit to John
Prokosch, 1.0907 32nd St. N., based on the hardship being the existing
configuration of the lot, the new dwelling proposal does not increase the
non -conformity of the existing structure and the bottom floor elevation of
the home will have an elevation of 892. The Building Official will.
approve the marking of the drain.field so construction taffic will not
drive over it and the finished landscaping will not shed water on the
adjacent propertyowner.. (Motion carried 5-0).

There was no one to speak for or against the application.
R. Scott & Heidi Nietzel, 3291 Lampert, have applied for three variances
to the side yard setback, setback from drainfield, setback from driveway.
If these variances are granted, the applicant proposes to construct a 30'
x 24' accessory structure.
City Engineer Larry Bohrer presented his review, dated June 5, 1989.
Bohrer had reviewed the perc tests and are similar in both the front and
backyard. Therefore, a combination of the yard behind the garage and
expanding to the north, but still keep the setback from the north property
line, could be an alternate drainfield site.
Scott and Heidi Nietzel stated their hardship was they owned two cars and
needed a two car garage and this was the only spot on the property you
could build a garage. The existinggaragewouldbe left, but they have
future plans to make the old garage into living space. The Nietzel's
stated they do plan on removing the old driveway and move it over so the
driveway goes along the side of the house.
Sharon and Len Johnson, 3271 Lampert Avenue N., submitted a statement in
which they were in favor of the proposed improvement and encourages
completion.
Mayor Dunn closed the public hearing at /7/:/.3"V.IW./ 7:34 n.m. (Amended 7/18)
MIS/ Graves/Moe - to grant the following (3) variances based on the
hardship being this is the only site available on the property and on the

M/S/P Graves/Moe - to grant the following (3) variances to Scott and Heidi

C. PUBLIC HEARING: (1) Variance --Allow commercially licensed
vehicle parking in R-1 Zone
R.J. Linnell, 9402 Stillwater Blvd.
Mayor Dunn opened up the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. in. the City Council
chambers.
R.J. Linnell is a private contractor hauling mail for. the U.S. Postal
Services and works out of the Minneapolis Post Office. Mr. Linnell is
requesting a variance to the Lake Elmo Municipal Code (301.130 E.5) that
prohibits parking of a commercially licensed vehicle over (1) ton capacity
in a Residential area which would allow hint to drive his vehicle home and
park it in his driveway overnight. Normally, Mr. Linnell comes home from
work at 7 p.m. and leaves for work at 3:30 a.m..
Mr. Linnell presented pictures of his truck and views from sides of his
property showing what is visible. He explained this truck is under
contract with the Minneapolis/St. Paul Postal Service and require the
truck be at his disposal 24 hours a day. The truck has government
equipment on it and has to be secure; therefore, he has an umbrella
insurance policy on his home for the truck.
Delray Espelien, 9340 Stillwater Blvd, advised the Council he has lived in
this residence for 21 years and owned this house, himself, for .11 years
and presented his pictures showing various views from his house. Espelien
stated "he doesn't believe there is any commercial vehicle under contract
which states it has to be driven home and parked in your yard."
Mr. Espelien, Delray's father, lives in Oakdale, but owns 2 lots opposite
to his son. when he bought this place there was atrucking business next
to him on a I acre lot, this is why he moved to Oakdale. when it burned
dowr),;the land owner couldn't sell it.
Mayor Dunn closed the public hearing at 7:46 p.m.
When the City Attorney was asked if the condition, of Mr. Linnel having no
other option than take this vehicle home due to his job, could be
considered a legal based hardship for granting a variance, Knaak stated it
would be difficult for him to say, based on this hardship alone, because
he considered this an economic hardship.
The Council asked the staff to use their expertise to find how widespread
in the City is parking of a business vehicle at home. The Council asked
the question "Does the ordinance really intend to stop someone from
driving back and forth to work OR is it more to stop the actual storage of
such vehicles,in a residential area?" and "how do other contract drivers
maintain or store their trucks?" The Administrator will contact the
Postal Service on their requirements.
MIS/ Moe/Hunt - to grant a temporary variance to R. J. Linnell, 9402
Stillwater Blvd, to allow commercially licensed vehicle to park overnight
in the R1 Zoning District.

D. PUBLIC HEARING: (1) Variance -Lot Size and Road Frontage
Mildred Meier, Lanes DeMontreville
Mayor Dunn opened up the public hearing at 8:1.0 p.m. in the City Council
chambers.
Mildred Meier is inquiring as to the buildability of a vacant parcel (Lots
132-140, 159-167) she owns in Lanes DeMontreville Country Club Addition.
The Zoning Code and Shoreland regulations apply. Larry Bohrer presented
his review which stated at least two variances (lot size and frontage)
would be required. Bohrer further stated it is not known if more
variances would be required because contour map, building site plan, and
soil borings have not been submitted. The problem of suitable access to
this lot was discussed because there is over 400 ft. of unimproved
right-of-way between this lot and the nearest improved road (50th Street).
Molly Shodeen, DNR, addressed her review of the variance requests and
shorel.and permit proposal for the Meier property in her letter dated May
18, 1989.
Mike Severin, 8012 50th St., stated when the City took the land from him,
he was told it wouldn't perk out and it was not buildable. The pipes to
remove his sewage is in this right-of-way. The access road would run 2.0
ft. from his front window.
Mrs. Arndt, 7931. Hill Trail N., voiced her concern on water problems. At
one time she was told there were no more buildable lots on this island.
David Brown, 7990 50th St. N., lives directly north, and continues to have
water problems. He doesn't want the water from that house in his back
yard.
Dave Furseth, 8004 50th St., stated he has a tremendous water problem and
the mound site that was just installed increased his water problem.
i
R. Harvey, lives north of Meiers, stated he was told it was landlocked and
had no access when he bought his property. The surveyor found no easement
on his property. Ken Sovereign told him this pro erty was sold this fall.
QmQ;q�r
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL. MINUTES JUNE 6, 1989 PAGE 6
Chuck LeMire, 8084 Hill Trail N., stated he lived there 16 years and would
like .the City to" compensate Mrs. Meier for the property and keep it as
a nature area.
A. Siegel, 7951 Hill Trail Ct., stated he didn't like the idea of hacking
up the residential area with later day roads. The area is of low
elevation and has a concern on runoff and more swamp and brush. He asked
who would pay for an improved access.
Arlene Grayson, 1916 E. 4th St., St. Paul, daughter of Mrs. Meier, asked
if theycould collectively come together with creative thinking to address
this situaiton now. Richard Meier, son of Mrs. Meier, stated his father
has been paying taxes on this property since 1958. Perk tests have not
been done until access can be determined.
Mayor Dunn closed the public hearing at8:35 p.m.
Councilman Hunt asked the City Attorney.if the Council should not approve
this right-of-way access, does this constitute taking of land. Knaak
answered that this land has been unbuildable for many years, but the
Meier's would not be aware of it until they came in with a request. The
Council was under no obligation to approve this request.
Larry Bohrer stated there is access to the property, but building a
driveway to a house is another matter. The attorney stated she can
utilize this as an access, but to bear in mind, if she should miss it, she
would be considered trespassing.
MIS/ Graves/Moe - to deny the variance request for lot size and frontage
based on no hardship was presented, and there was a potential for other
variances being required because a contour map, building site plan and
soil borings have not been submitted and potential disruption to the
adjoining propertyowners.
Councilman Williams suggested the propertyowners and. Mrs. Meier get
together to decide if they are interested in buying this land. Councilman
Hunt was against the variance requests, but favored keeping the public
hearing open so the Council could respond to the propertyowners' requests.
M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to postpone consideration of this motion until the
June 20th Council meeting in hopes the property owners can get together.
(Motion carried 4-1: Graves: He sees variances for: lot size, road
frontage, building a non -conforming road, size of the lot for septic
system (perkable soils) with potential variances needed to put a structure
in the future. If multiple variances are granted, this makes our code
ineffective)
The Council suggested Mrs. Meier contact the assessor for a fair market
value and the City would provide them a list of adjacent propertyowners to
contact that might be interested in purchasing this land.

Also Present were: Fire Chief Fran Pott, Public Works Supervisor Dan
Olinger, Finance Director Marilyn Banister and City Administrator Pat
Morrison.
Fire Chief Pott presented his proposed estimated 1990 Budget
expenditures of $105,817. Chief Pott discussed briefly the five-year
CIP for the Fire Department, incorporating the approximate $170,000
for the pumper in 1990/91. He also reviewed the need for firefighters
and suggested moderate income housing may help with recruitment.
Chief Pott reviewed line item expenditures, answered questions of the
Council, discussed firefighter training needs and supplies and
equipment requirements.
Public Works Supervisor Dan Olinger addressed questions from the
Council. The Council requested that the Public Works Budget
expenditures for maintenance (patch and overlay) work on City streets
be segregated and defined separately and specifically in the final
Budget document. Mr. Olinger advised: the shop supplies budget was
increased considerably to purchase metric tools; $5,000 was requested
to purchase new entry signs into the City; educational funding was
sufficient.
The Administrator requested formal Council approval of the Century
Fence bid, in the amount of $3,760 for replacement of the Lions Park
outfield fence. Funding for this was anticipated to include $2,000
contribution from the Lake Elmo Jaycees and funds budgeted for the
play equipment at Reid Park transferred toward this fence, as Jaycees
had paid for the play equipment also.
M/S/P Hunt/Williams - resolved that the City Council hereby approves
the bid of Century Fence Co., in the amount of $3,760 for replacement
of the outfield fence at Lion's Park, and accepts contribution of

All of the above comprise just over nine (9) miles of
^icipal State Aid Streets.
Without changing the density proposed for the area, perhaps a
trade-off could be made with the Ag zoned property north of this
property. I have no idea what the intentions of Mr. Lauseng or the
Klawitter's is, but it appears that Mr. Lauseng has a flourishing

been discussed at previous Council meetings. If you are aware of
