From: Rita Conlin, ReAPP
Social Economic Principle
Subject: Request to hire Rossanna Armson
On January 9, 1990, ReAPP and the City of Lake Elmo received
draft copies of questionnaires prepared by Washington
County's consultant (John Genereux) for survey purposes of
hot air balloon enterprises and owners of development
property near Site G.
Having carefully reviewed the questionnaires -and submitting
-over two pages of comment, I.feel it is important to have
the expert comments of Rossanna Armson, University of
Minnesota, hired previously by the City of Lake Elmo, also
included. Her input has been very valuable before in other
social economic studies, and lends more credibility to that
of the City's and ReAPP's.
To that end, this is a.request that the City of Lake Elmo
approve hiring Rossanna Armson to review the questionnaires
for hot air balloon enterprises and owners of development
property near Site G. And that her charge for services be
applied to the Met Council funds for EIS review.
Due to time restrictions placed upon us by the County, I have
taken the liberty to contact Rossanna Armson for her comments
(see attached letter). If the council fails to approve the
above request, ReAPP feels that Ms Armson's input is of
enough significant value to pay for her services out of it's
own funds. If this is the case, please have her charges
forwarded to ReAPP.
Respectfully Submitted,

Dear Rossanna,
Attached is the latest survey sent to us by John Genereux via
Washington County. Also, attached are our comments on the
survey.
We really appreciate you taking this on at such short notice,
but it seems that short notice is part of the EIS game, and
those are the rules we have to play by. As you can see by
reading Judy Arends letter, we have to have comments in
within two weeks of it's date. I think Vicky mentioned this
to you and you said that it would be possible.'
Please send yourcomments to the City of Lake Elmo as well as
the.charge for. your services.
Again, thanks so much for doing this for us.

Mayor and Councilmembers:
I wish to be considered for the appointment to the vacancy on

I have spent many years in volunteer service to the community and
to the City of Lake Elmo. I am a former member of the Parks Commission
and served for four years on the City Council to which I am applying,
two of those years as vice -Mayor.
My dedication to this City has been proven and, if chosen, I will
,_continue to serve on the City Council as diligently as I have in the
past. You may call me at 735-5936 with any questions concerning this
application.
I thank you for this consideration.
Yours truly,

FROM: PUBLIC WORKS
RE: PRESSURE WASHER
IN 1983 the city purchased a pressure washer from Clarence
Skarpohl Co. In the past 3 years our dept.has had this unit
in for repairs many times. Some of these repairs have taken
as long as 2 weeks. This unit is used frequently to keep our
equipment cleaned for better appearance and mechanical operation.
It is important in summer to keep radiators and hydraulic
components clean to avoid overheating and damage to our mowing
equiptment. In the winter we use the washer to clean plowing
and sanding equipment to prevent salt and corrosion build up.
_A couple of weeks ago our present washer exploded which could
have caused severe injury to the men had anyone been standing
close by. As a result I have taken this unit out of service.
I called our service company who advised us not to repair this
unit but to replace it.
The new pressure washers are buit better and have more safety
features built in. I also have used our present washer for
thawing frozen culverts and pipes which I now have been informed
that this unit was not designed for. The new washers that I
have investigated are capable and designed to meet all our needs.
If you have any questions on this subject please feel free
to call me at 770-2537.
After reveiwing all information given to us I would like
the councils approval to purchase the Hotsy model 660 pressure
washer at the quoted price of $2805.50. If the council would
pefer one of the other brands we honor your decision.
Thank You,
DAN OLINGER

There is money,$5000.00 bugeted in the 1990 buget for misc.
equipment that can be used for this purchase.
The Hotsy brand of equipment has certain features that are
essential in the area of maintenance and safety since it is
not only the purchase price, but the future maintenance costs
and the "down time" costs that could contribute as much as twice
or three times the cost of the original purchase during the
life of the machine.
We have researched other competitive brands and find that
not one has the following low cost maintenance and repair
features found with the hotsy brand. The average life expectancy
of a Hotsy pressure is seven years with many units working today
after 10 years of service.
1. HEATING COIL: Special Latice-Helix design steel tubing
continous length with no butt welds, vertically fired. other
brands use steel pipe in 21 foot length and have to weld each
piece together, which could cause premature failure. Hotsy coils
f are easily removable and replaceable and provide exceptional
heat efficiency and durability. Hotsy coils provide the highest
burst pressure rating in the industry at 14,900 PSI.
2. PUMP: Hotsy triplex ceramic plunger pump, the most successful
in the industry today.
3. FUEL AND WATER FLOAT TANK: Constructed of high density
polyethylene to provide rust free operation as well as being
easy to remove. other competitive models are fabricated from
steel which leads to rusting and selfcontamination and require
the use of a cutting torch and welding equipment for removal
and replacement. Hotsy components require only the use of

Re: Street Light Request - 31st Street
Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Commission No. 9150-000
Dear Mayor and Council:
At the last Council meeting, the residents along 31stt Street requested installation of street lights
at Jar ley Avenue (a public street), at Janero Avenue (a private road), and at Friedrich Road (a
private driveway). This matter was referred to the City Engineer for review.
We have contacted NSP regarding the above request. They reported that there are existing power
poles at these intersections, there will be no installation charge. The monthly charge per street
light is $9.75 or $351 annually for all three.
Sincerely yours,

Re: 1990 Rate Structure for 201 Systems
Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Commission No. 9150-600
Dear Mayor and Council:
One of the requirements of the 201 Grant was that the City set up and maintain a user charge
system for the operation, maintenance, and replacement of the off -site and collector sewer
systems. Sections 707,050 and 707.060 of the City Code require that the Council annually
review the fund balance and adjust the rate structure accordingly.
In 1988 and 1989, the sewer charge was $120 per year for each residential equivalent unit. In
1988, the expenses were $3,607 and the income was $4,870, leaving a year end balance of
+$1,263. In 1989, the expenses were $6,417 and the income was $4,870, leaving a year end
balance of-$1,547, for a cumulative fund balance of-$284.00. The fund should have a 2 year
ending balance of +$720 to cover future replacement of pumps and controls.
We recommend raising the rates for 1990 from $120 per year to $180 per year for each
equivalent residential unit (ERU) except the two individual off -site systems whichrequire
minimal maintenance. The new rate structure would be as follows:
Annual Quarterly
Establishment #ERU Charge Charge
Residence - individual off -site
Residence - collector off -site
Duplex
Beauty Shop
Main Street Shop
Lake Elmo Inn
$ 120.00
$ 30.00
180.00

90.00
180.00
45.00
180.00
45.00
1,440.00
360.00
The Code requires that the Sewer Service Charge System be revised and adopted by resolution.
The Code also requires that each user be notified at the beginning of each year of the rates for
that year. Although not required to do so, the Council may wish to hold a public hearing on the
matter.
Honorable Mayor and City Council

Action Requested
1. Detennine if you wish to hold a public hearing on the matter.
2. Based on your decision whether a hearing should be held, either delay consideration of
the rate change to the hearing, or adopt the rate change as recommended.

time their C,U,P, does not permit it.
(5) I have had no new problems or concern with Hammes Mining, They

Re: Computer Package Available
Municipal State Aid Reporting
Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Commission No. 9150-000
Dear Mayor and Council:
The City of Lake Elmo, being in the Municipal State Aid Street system, is required to do a
certain amount of annual and project related reporting. Examples of these reports are Annual
Certification of Mileage, Needs Study Update, Report of State Aid Contract, and Report of Final
Estimate. TKDA, as your City Engineer, has submitted these reports in the past and will
continue to do so in the future.
The reporting for Lake Ehno is quite simple and requires only about 40 hours per year,
depending upon how many State Aid projects are completed each year. But, for larger cites, this
reporting is very cumbersome. The Department of Transportation is planning to computerize this
data and in the near future, this annual reporting will have to be transmitted electronically to
MnDOT.
MnDOT conducted a survey of some cities and found that some were not computerized or were
computerized with non -compatible equipment. To overcome this difficulty, MnDOT has
negotiated a hardware and software package that can be purchased by cities at a 60% State-40%
City cost. The State's share is paid for out of an administrative fund and will not affect the
City's maintenance or construction allotinents. If the City purchased the entire package as
itemized on the attached sheets, the State negotiated price is $8,313.00 of which $3,325.20 would
be the City's share. Since the City is considering upgrading its computer system in the near
future, this package may be of interest to you. If your present computer system meets your
needs, it would not be prudent to buy the package just to do State Aid reporting. For those cities
not purchasing the package, TKDA will purchase the Metafile/Metaview software which can be
run on TKDA's existing hardware. TKDA will continue to do your State Aid reporting and
amortize the cost of the software over all the cities for which we do the reporting.

The product literature, price lists, and previous correspondence from MnDOT has been reviewed
by the City staff. They recommend purchasing the entire package, but upgrading the printer to
the HP-LA2 laser printer for an additional $1,095.00, bringing the total package price to
$4,420.20.
Deadline for ordering the equipment is February 15, 1990.
Sincerely yours,

LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
JANUARY 16, 1990
MAYOR DUNN PROCLAIMED THE FOURTH WEEK OF JANUARY, 1990 TO BE JAYCEE
WEEK IN LAKE ELMO AND URGED ALL CITIZENS OF OUR STATE TO GIVE FULL
REGARD TO THE PAST AND CONTINUING SERVICES OF THE LAKE ELMO JAYCEES.
Mayor Dunn called the City Council meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in
the City Council chambers. Present: Dunn, Hunt, Williams, Graves,
Armstrong, City Engineer Larry Bohrer and Acting Administrator Mary
Kueffner.
1. AGENDA
Add: 7F. Update of Status of Appeal to EPA, 11. Letter from MN Dept.
of Jobs and Training
M/S/P Hunt/Graves - to approve the January 1.6, 1990 City Council
agenda as amended. (Motion carried 4-0).
2. MINUTES: JANUARY 2, 1990
M/S/P Graves/Williams - to approve the January 2, 1990 City Council.
minutes as amended. (Motion carried 4-0).
3. CLAIMS
M/S/P Hunt/Graves - to approve the January 16, 1990 claims #92790 thru
#92853 as presented. (Motion carried 4-0).
4. REAPP REPORT
Rita Conlin, of ReAPP, submitted a letter to the Council requesting
hiring of Rossanna Armson to review the questionnaires prepared by
Washington County's consultant, John Genereux, for survey purposes of
hot air balloon enterprises and owners of development property near
Site G. Armson's charge for services (approx. $25-$50) will be
applied to the Met Council funds for EIS review.
M/S/P Graves/Hunt - to approve retaining Rossanna Armson, University
of Minnesota, to review the questionnaires prepared by John Genereux
for survey purposes of hot air balloon enterprises and owner of
development property near Site G and these charges (approx. $25-$50)
be applied to the Met Council funds for EIS review. If they are not
paid out of these funds, then these charges will be paid out of the
referendum fund. (Motion carried 4-0).
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 16, 1990 PAGE 2
Todd Williams reported that DPRA, our engineering firm, has been
contacted by a firm who is trying to do the EIS review for the City of
Ramsey in Anoka County. DPRA. contacted ReAPP asking if they would
have any objections to this. The Attorney stated there was probably
no legal conflict of interest, but if we think this firm is the best,
do we want them working to try and get another site out of the
Metropolitan inventory.
Dick Acree, ReAPP member, informed the Council he received the call
from DPRA asking for ReAPP's opinion of this procedure. Acree stated,
at this point, ReAPP would probably advise on a moral issue that they
not go with this other firm. After looking into it, DPRA called back
at 6:00 p.m. tonight stating they were going with the firm and were
justified because they spoke with Paul Smith, Met Council, who
indicated our Site G will stand or fall on its own merits (it is not a
competitive site with any site in Anoka or Hennepin County). They
felt, based on this input, they were not crossing any threshold to
participate.
5. CITY COUNCIL APPLICATIONS
At the January 2nd meeting, the Council postponed action on this
appointment and extended the deadline for additional applications
until January 10, 1990. The City received one additional application,
Rosemary Armstrong's application for the vacant council seat.
Mayor Dunn indicated she reviewed all the applications, knows the
applicants personally; therefore, she made the following motion.
M/S/ Dunn/Hunt - to appoint Rosemary Armstrong to fill the vacancy on
the City Council created by Donald Moe moving out of the City.
Councilman Graves apologized for not contacting Rose earlier, but
added he had spoken to most of the applicants.
Councilman Graves: When Rose was on the Council she had the
opportunity to participate in the selection process of a new
administrator. I felt that we had an ideal choice in Pat Morrison as
City Admin. What are your feelings about the forced resignation of:
Pat and what do you propose we do about the administrator's position?
Rose Armstrong: I haven't been here for a year. I worked with Pat for
six months and in that time she acted in a way that I would expect an
administrator, new to the job, to act. I cannot comment on the past
year.
Graves: In referring to the City's code of ethics, I presume that you
would subscribe to that philosophy and do your best to uphold it.
Armstrong: I have and I will. Graves: The reason I bring this up is
the concern I raised a couple years ago. On October 6, 1987 there was
a vote by the City Council relative to appealing court action that was
taken on a mandamus suit brought by Hugh Madson relative to
non-agricultural use of ag preserve land. The initial court action
had supported the mandamus action forcing the city to implement the
powers or requirements of the code as interpreted by the court. You
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 16, 1990 PAGE 3
were one of three people of the Council who voted in favor of
appealing this. I objected to your voting at that time because I
thought there was a conflict of interest. You stated that you didn't
have any conflict of interest at the time. Yet, less than 48 hrs.
later, there was a suit brought by you and Tom against the City of
Lake Elmo for Declaratory Judgment overriding the judgment of the
mandamus suit. To me I have difficulty believing that you could have
filed a suit against the city that quickly after saying you had no
conflict of interest in that issue. Can you clarify, please.
Armstrong: I voted for that appeal on the advice given by the the
City Attorney to me, personally, and to the entire city council,
including you, Chuck. I have as much difficulty believing that you and
Don Moe did not do as the City Attorney recommended and vote to appeal
this lawsuit. My constitutional rights were violated in that lawsuit,
because I was not a party to it, yet it was a lawsuit concerning my
land. Anyone in this room, who has a lawsuit brought against their
property, has a right to be a part of that lawsuit and to be heard.
We were not a party to it, we were not heard, and we had a
constitutional right to be heard. I will stand by my voting record
for the four years I was on the City Council, and I am proud of it.
Graves: One other issue I would like to raise. There has been
negotiations going on between the City of Lake Elmo and Oakdale
relative to the transfer of property in Section 32. One of the
proposed solutions was Section 32 or portion thereof be transferred to
Oakdale, and there be some compensation from Oakdale to Lake Elmo.
one of those proposals concern approx. 13 acres of land owned by you
and. Torn in that it be transferred to Lake Elmo. I have no problem
with that.' The question is, since this is a major issue for the City,
would you agree this could represent a conflict of interest, and you
would be unable to participate in any voting on this. ARMSTRONG: I
feel this could be handled separately. GRAVES: Personally, I think it
would be in the best interest of the City if we had a Full City
Council that is able to discuss openly without any potential conflict
of interest on this and vote accordingly. ARMSTRONG: Our 13 acres in
Oakdale are a minor part of what's going on. This could be handled
separately.
M/S/P Dunn/Hunt - to appoint Rosemary Armstrong to fill in Don Moe's
vacant council seat. (Motion carried 3-1:Graves: For these concerns
raised over potential conflict of issues, there are more suitable
people to fill this vacancy.)
Mayor Dunn thanked the applicants for their interest in the City and
appreciated their concern for our community.
OATH OF OFFICE: Rosemary Armstrong was given the oath of office by
Acting Administrator, Mary Kueffner.
6. ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING (Continuation)
{ M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to bring back the Organizational Meeting to the
table. (Motion carried 5-0).
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 16, 1990 PAGE 4

B. Parks Commission Appointments
Nancy Hansen, Parks Commission Chair, has recommended that Scotty
Lyall, Dan Trauscht and Mark Busta be reappointed to three-year terms
on the Parks Commission.
M/S/P Graves/Dunn - to reappoint Scotty Lyall, Dan Trauscht and Mark
Busta to three year terms on the Parks Commission, commencing January,
1990 and ending December 31, 1992. (Motion carried 5-0).
C. Council Representatives to City Functions
M/S/P Graves/Williams - to bring back Council Representatives to City
Functions back onto the table for Council consideration. (Motion
carried 5-0).
At the January 2nd meeting, the Council, as a whole, was appointed to
serve as a committee for budget, personnel and capital improvement
until an appointment is made to fill the existing council vacancy.
M/S/P Graves/Williams - to appoint Council Members Williams and Hunt
to the Budget Committee. (Motion carried 5-0).
M/S/P Graves/Williams - to appoint Council Members Graves and
Armstrong to the Personnel Committee. (Motion carried 5-0).
M/S/P Graves/Williams - to appoint Council Members Williams and Hunt

M/S/P Graves/Williams - to appoint Mayor Dunn as an alternate to all
three committees. (Motion carried 5-0).
7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT
A. Street Light Request
At the January 2nd Council meeting, the residents along 31st Street
requested installation of street lights at Jamley Avenue (a public
street), at Janero Avenue (a private road), and at Friedrich Road (a
private driveway). Staff verified the request was signed by the
majority of the adjoining landowners.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 16, 1990 PAGE 5
Larry Bohrer reported he contacted NSP regarding the above request.
They reported that there are existing power poles at these
intersections and there will be no installation charge. The monthly
charge per street light is $9.75 or $351 annually for all three.
Bohrer reported there was no reason the City should not install all
three street lights.
M/S/P Graves/Williams - to direct the City Engineer to make necessary
arrangements to have street lights installed at 31st Street and Jamley
Avenue, 31st Street and Janero Avenue, and 31st Street and Friedrich
Road, in response to the petition submitted by residents in this area.
(Motion carried 5-0).
8. Public Works Work Plan
Larry Bohrer reviewed the City's 1990 Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) as it relates to public works. The recommended projects were
listed in Bohrer's letter to the Council dated January 10, 1990. The
Council accepted Larry Bohrer's report and ordered the preparation of
feasibility reports for three street projects.
M/S/P Williams/Graves - to adopt Resolution 90-6, Resolution Ordering
Preparation of. a Feasibility Report for the Reconstruction of Laverne
Avenue and Upper 33rd Street. (Motion carried 5-0).
M/S/P Williams/Graves - to adopt Resolution 90-7, Resolution Ordering
Preparation of a Feasibility Report for the Full Overlay of Lampert
Avenue. (Motion carried 5-0).
M/S/P Williams/Graves - to adopt Resolution 90-8, Resolution Ordering
Preparation of a Feasibility Report for the Full Overlay of Legion
Avenue within Eden Park Addition. (Motion carried 5-0).
C. Rate Structure for 201 Systems
In his letter dated January 10, 1990, Larry Bohrer reported in 1988
and 1989 the sewer charge was $120 per year for each residential
equivalent unit. In 1988 the expenses were $3,607 and the income was
$4,870 leaving a year-end balance of. +$1,263. In 1989, the expenses
were $6,417 and the income was $4,870 leaving a year-end balance of
-$1,547 for a cumulative fund balance of.-$284.00. Bohrer indicated
the fund should have a two-year ending balance of 4-$720 to cover
future replacement of pumps and controls.
The reason given by Bohrer for the high expenses was in 1988 the
systems were still under the one-year warranty by the contractor. He
was doing some of the things that would normally be done by the
maintenance crew. Also this was the first year that they were in full
operation and the turf was being established and didn't require the
mowing. Now, the City maintains everything and keeps the records.
Bohrer recommended raising the rates for 1990 from $120 per year to
$180 per year for each equivalent residential unit (ERU) except the
two individual off -site systems (Severin parcel and Scovill parcel)
which require minimal maintenance.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 16, 1990 PAGE 6
M/S/P Graves/Hunt - to direct the Acting City Administrator to
schedule a public hearing for the Council to discuss the rate increase
for the affected 2.01 Systems as soon as possible. (Motion carried
5-0).
D. Computer Package
Larry Bohrer reported in his January 10, 1.990 letter on the Computer
Package available through the Department of Transportation. In the
future, Municipal State Aid Reporting will be required to be done
automatically. Because some cities in the State are not automated or
have compatible equipment, MnDOT has negotiated a hardware and
software package that can be purchased by cities at a 60% State and
40% City costs. The State's share is paid for out of an
administrative fund and will not affect the city's maintenance or
construction allotments.
The staff reviewed the product literature, price lists, and previous
correspondence from MnDOT and recommends purchase of the entire
package, but upgrading the printer to the HP-LA2 laser printer for an
additional $1,095.00. This would bring the total package price to
$4,420.20. Deadline for ordering the equipment is February 15, 1990.
As the City is looking into updating their computerization plan,
Councilman Hunt suggested the Capital Improvement Committee meet with
the City Staff to discuss how this package might fit with the overall,
computerization plan and come back with a recommendation to the
Council.
M/S/P Hunt/Graves - to recommend the Capital Improvement Committee
meet with the City staff to discuss how this computer package would
fit with the overall computerization plan for the City and come back
with a recommendation for the February 6th meeting. (Motion carried
5-0).
E. Revisions to MPCA Rules relating to Water Quality
At the request of the Council, Larry Bohrer reviewed the proposed
changes to MPCA Rules relating to Water Quality. Bohrer clarified
these rules classify surface waters of the state for the purpose of
establishing the basis for which MPCA issues a permit for surface
water discharges, such as, from sewage treatment plants, industrial
plants and animnal feed lots. These would have no affect on Lake Elmo
because we have none of these activities within our boundaries.
Therefore, Lake Elmo would have nothing to comment on the proposed
rules.
Councilman Graves asked if this could be broadened enough to determine
if we could get a statement inserted "sources can be defined to
include landfills and discharge from pipes".
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 16, 1990 PAGE 7
M/S/P Graves/Williams - to direct the City Engineer to review these
MPCA rules relating to water quality being revised by the MPCA to
determine if there is opportunity to modify the language or any of the
definitions to include that existing or proposed landfills can be
covered, by these new regulations. (Motion carried 5-0).
F. Update of the Appeal to the EPA
On January 11, 1990 Mr. Sherkenbach notified the Mayor that he had
reviewed the file and saw no reason to change his denial. He also
told the Mayor that the city could talk to the commissioner again or
to the citizens board. Mr. Sherkenbach told Larry Bohrer that he
didn't know what affect that might have because what we are dealing
with is federal regulations that have been delegated to the state to
enforce, and he didn't know how much input the state citizens board
would have on these federal regulations. He would like to talk about
all the issues at once; such as, whether the cost for the land and the
legal fees and engineering fees that were necessary because of the
land value appeal, would they be considered eligible for the grant.
Bohrer added, Mr. Sherkenbach offered to rescind his December 7th
denial so we can include all issues at one time. After conferring
with the Mayor, Bohrer told Mr. Sherkenbach that the City would accept
his offer to rescind the denial as long as the next step is a
(face-to-face) meeting so we can define what they consider issues.
Bohrer should receive a letter this week from Mr. Sherkenbach
rescinding his December 7th denial. No date has been set for this
meeting.
8. PLANNING/LAND USE/AND ZONING:
A. Conditional Use Permits Review
Building Official, Jim McNamara, provided the Council a Conditional
Use Permit Review. (See letter from Jim McNamara to Council dated
January 11, 1990.)
Councilman Williams asked Dr. Swanson, if when the crematorium is
relocated to the new building, he anticipates increasing its size or
capacity in any way. Dr. Swanson responded he would be increasing the
capacity, although it is not absolute because of projection for volume
needs. The proposal would be to improve on the building when it was
built, such as, physical construction and chimney stack emission
control under any new MPCA requirements. Swanson acknowledged this
proposal would come back before the Council.
In regard to the boarding space for the Animal Inn, Don Tauer stated
now he is limited to 117 dogs in the kennel at any time. He
understood he would have to come back to the Council to request
expansion to 200 animals.
Jim McNamara indicated that Charles Anderson of the Animal Inn
Training School is considering to add on to his building because he
needs more room for the number of dogs per class.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 1.6, 1990 PAGE 8
Councilman Graves pointed out in the Oakdale Gun Club CUP, Condition
(c.) should be clarified "shot gun range to be limited to #6 fine shot
or smaller " since a lot of skeet shooting is #7 or 08.
Graves noted in the Rockin L Trailer CUP, the Building Official
recommended a maximum of 30 llamas be housed on the property at any
one time. Lou Anne Hanson responded the llamas were not included
under this CUP, just the trailer sales. McNamara clarified the CUP was
for the horse trailer sales, but there was a concern a year ago by the
Council regarding the number of llamas housed at one time and was
asked to come up with a figure. He contacted Dr. Cindy Wolfe, who
stated llamas are not grazing animals, they are commercially fed.
Therefore, the figure of 30 llamas was picked as an arbitrary figure.
Armstrong stated our code requires 10 acres for horses and voiced her
concern Lou Anne has 7 acres and 16 llamas, with a possibility of 30
llamas. Armstrong questi.onned what constitutes a feed lot. Lou Anne
stated she has a .land contract for adjoining land that the llamas
could graze on. The Hanson's are in the process of selling their
property and taking the llamas with them.
McNamara reported Trans City Invesments have been keeping him
up-to-date on any tenant changes. Ray Baber, Leasing Agent, asked if
they would be able to use the fenced in area in the back of the
building for outside storage. The Council clarified permitting outside
storage would require an amendment to their CUP which requires a
Public Hearing.
M/S/P Armstrong/Graves - to accept the Review on Conditional Use
Permits, dated January 11, 1990, by the Building Official. (Motion
carried 5-0).
B. Future Land Use Map
Councilman Williams pointed out on the future land use map changes
agreed upon by the Council at their May 1.6, 1989 meeting. Williams
brought up for Council consideration changes to some of the areas
proposed for RE Zoning 2 1/2 acres to be considered for 5 acres RE
Zoning. He would rather proceed cautiously because we haven't
experienced this type of development in Lake Elmo before and have to
examine the impact this would mean on our City services. Discussion
followed on these proposed changes because RE 2 1/2 Zoning was placed
on the Future Land Use map based on requests the Council had from
interested. parties. No formal application has been made.
Councilman Hunt suggested creating in Section 32 an
Urban/Office/Commerical type of Future land Use in the MUSA area.
Along I-94 Hunt stated he would like the property owners to have an
added option of residential if they so chose, but to restrict it to a
large parcel of land. Hunt provided a slide presentation showing new
housing developments along freeways.
There was discussion on the I-94 corridor for the Council to
collectively look at the land and find land appropriate for homes and
discuss proposed dates for staged development in each area once the
ordinances are accepted.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 16, 1990 PAGE 9
9. MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT:
i
A. Request for Pressure Washer
In 1983 the City purchased a pressure washer from Clarence Skarpohl
Co, which Dan Olinger, Public Works Supt., explained has been'i.n for
repairs many times. The service company advised Dan not to repair this
unit, but to replace it.
Dan Olinger requested approval to purchase the Hot-sy model 660
pressure washer at the quoted price of $2,805.50. This unit will be
used to keep equipment cleaned for better appearance and mechanical
operation and for thawing frozen culverts and pipes.
The Council requested the staff to make the Maintenance Dept. aware of
this purchase using up a large portion of their Miscellaneous
Equipment budget.
MIS/P Hunt/Armstrong - to approve authorization by the Maintenance
Dept. to purchase the Hotsy Model 660 pessure washer at the quoted
price of $2,805.50. (Motion carried 5-0).
B. Request to advertise for bids for dump truck, snow plow,
and sander.
Maintenance Foreman, Dan Olinger, requested approval from the Council
to advertise for bids for the dump truck, dump box and hydraulic
system, reversible snow plow, right -side mounted wing plow, underbody
snow plow and undertailgate sander.
The trade-in is the 1983 L-8000 single axle, 3208 210 HP., MT.653
Allision automatic. 11 foot Falls reversible snowplow, 10 foot Falls
wing, Falls dual auger under tailgate trough sander, 10 foot L-Z dump
body.
Councilman Williams indicated it was appropriate at this point to
advertise for bids for the dump truck and accessory equipment.
M/S/P Williams/Graves - to direct the staff to advertise for bids for
a dump truck, dump box and hydraulic system, snow plow, wing plow,
underbody snow plow, and sander. (Motion carried 5-0).
10. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS:
Mayor Dunn has been in communication with Mary Luth who informed the
Mayor the Lake Jane Landfill problem is being addressed. Ramsey and
Washington Counties have been working together on developing a
conceptual design for a safe drinking water system and are updating
the information they had from before. They are targeting another
community meeting at the end of February or beginning of March to
update the residents.
Mayor Dunn updated the Council on following mail she received:

A. Request to obtain bids for file cabinet, computer,
fax machine, and copier.
The staff is in need of another file cabinet and requested purchase
approval..
There was no objection to this request by the Council; therefore, the
staff will proceed and purchase a file cabinet.
The CIP Committee will meet with the staff to discuss their needs and
will come back to the Council with a recommendation.
B. Accident Coverage for City Boards, Committees and
Commissions
The City received a memo from the League of Minnesota Cities regarding
accident insurance for members of the City Council and other City
Boards, Committees and Commissions.
Parks Chair, Nancy Hansen, commented on several occasions park members
have wanted to cut down trees in the park and was told there was no
insurance coverage for this. This could promote more activities by
volunteers in the City.
M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to refer this issue on accident insurance
coverage for City Boards, Committees and Commissions, not necessarily
this package, to the City's Insurance Consultant for his comments and
recommendations. (Motion carried 5-0).

Re: Final Plat
Packard Park 3rd Addition
Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Coiiunission No. 9150-009
Dear commission Members:
On September 5, 1989, the City Council granted preliminary plat approval to Packard Park 3rd
Addition, provided an additional and perc-able ponding area could be found within the Third
Addition. That ponding area was identified on Lot 1, Block 2 and a backhoe excavation was
performed. Sandy soil was found, which should provide percolation for the Third Addition
pond. The Second Addition pond will be connected to the Third Addition pond by an equalizer
culvert, therefore some water level reduction should also be realized in the Second Addition
pond. It is my opinion that the Packard Park improvements can now meet the intent as well as
the letter of the Stormwater Control Ordinance..
I have reviewed the proposed final plat and compared it to the approved preliminary plat and find
it approvable with the following conditions:
1. The developer and the City shall execute a Developer's Agreement and deposit such
security with the City as determined by the City Engineer.
2. Payment of the park dedication fee.
3. Provide Washington County with a road easement over the east 17 feet of Outlots A, B,
C, and D.
4. Provide the City with road easements for the temporary cul-de-sac on Lansing Avenue.
Sincerely,
Larry D. Bolmrer, P.E.

Re: Packard Park 3rd Addition
Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Commission No. 9150-009
Dear Commission Members:
We understand that at the last PZC meeting a question arose regarding whether Lot 1, Block 1,
Packard Park 3rd Addition meets the drainfield area requirements. The following is our opinion:
The statement in question is found in paragraph (6) in page 301-34 of the Zoning Code. It states:
"All lots must have at least one (1) acre of land suitable for septic drainfields and area
sufficient for two (2) separate and distinct drainfield sites. Placement of the second
required drainfield between the trenches of the first drainflield is prohibited."
A problem of interpretation arises immediately because the fast sentence contains two
requirements for area (one acre suitable and area for two sites). Because these two requirements
are connected by the word and means that both requirements must be met. However, the
requirement for one acre of land is much greater than the requirement for two sites, which would
be at most one-fourth of an acre.
It is my opinion that the requirement for "one acre of land suitable ....1. came about because of the
past subdivision practices in Lake Elmo. Lots around the existing lakes and ponds in the Tri-
Lakes area of the city were often pie -shaped, being platted out into the water. These lots could
meet the legal lot size requirement but yet only have a small building site available due to the
presence of a pond, wetland, or drainage easement. I believe the Code was changed to insure
that at least one acre of the lot was "high ground". On the other hand, having a large lot of all
high ground does not insure that there is one acre available for drainfields. For example, the lots
in Lake Elmo Heights 2nd - Addition are all high ground, but due to slow percolating soils,
some lots still had to be increased in size to have one acre of suitable soil.
Over the past ten years, I have tried to evaluate new subdivisions consistently in regard to area
available for drainfields. When a preliminary plat was submitted, I would consult the
Washington County Soil Survey. This document has proved to be reliable over the years with
only

Re: DNR Permit Response
James Buelow
Lot 10, Beau Haven Addition
Lake Elmo, Minnesota
Commission No. 9150-009
Dear Mayor and Council:
James Buelow has applied for a DNR permit to construct abridge for a driveway access across
Eagle Point Creek. The creek bisects Lot 10, Beau Haven Addition and Mr. Buelow is the owner
of the lot. This work is also governed by the City's shoreland Regulations because the shoreland
district in this area is 300 feet either side of the creek. The VB WD has reviewed the hydraulic
characteristics of the bridge and has issued their permit for the work (see attachment).
This application brings up the larger issue as to the intended use of the lot. It is the City staff's
recollection that this lot was declared unbuildable several years ago because a large portion of the
lot is flood plain.
The lot is slightly over 0.5 acres in size and does not meet the 60% Rule for existing platted lots
of record, In addition, not all of the land is usable because of the flood plain.
Recommendation
It would be best to find out the owner's intention for the lot first before passing on this permit
application. We have no objection to the bridge itself because the Watershed District has
checked that the 100-year flow can pass beneath it. We are concerned that the owner may feel a
large expenditure for this bridge somehow may obligate the City to future approvals on this lot.
Sincerely yours,

Lake Elmo, MN 55042
Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
We, the undersigned concerned citizens of Lake Elmo, do hereby
respectfully request a full and thorough explanation of the
reasons for the forced resignation of the Lake Elmo City
Administrator, Patricia Morrison, on December 19, 1989.
It is our understanding that Ms. Morrison was advised to
resign or be fired; and further, that this statement was made
by certain council members without formal motion by the
Council as a whole. We are concerned that these actions may
have been taken as a result of personal prejudices and not
based on malfeasance, poor administrative performance, or any
other misconduct in the performance of her duties as City
Administrator. We are surprised that this drastic action was
necessary in view of what we consider to be professional and
exemplary performance on the part of Ms. Morrison.
We therefore request a documented list of performance
shortcomings, misconduct, errors in judgment, or any other
reasons why the Council felt that it was necessary to remove
Ms. Morrison as City Administrator of Lake Elmo.
