asked that this matter be discussed at the July Council meeting.
B. Other:

5. PLANNING/LAND USE/ZONING:
A. Variance and Shoreland Permit (Continuation)
Joseph Kiesling, 9359 Jane Road N.
M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to bring back the request by Joe Kiesling for
Council consideration. (Motion carried 4-0).
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1990 PAGE 2
At the last Council meeting, the applicant submitted information for
Council review and requested consideration be postponed until the June
19th Council meeting.
Mayor Dunn reviewed the information submitted and visited the site and
thought Mr. Kiesling did a fantastic job on remodelling the house.
She noted the old newspaper article and picture which showed the
existing Keane house having an attached deck. Dunn pointed out
Kiesling has a patio that extends out 14' on the bottom level which
was allowed by the DNR. Kiesling stated he would consider a 4' walkway
and Dunn felt a narrower walkway would not go out any further than the
concrete patio already existing.
Councilman Hunt recalled when the house was abandoned it had a deck
attached to it. Hunt believed the house could have been raised with
the deck still attached which would have preserved the deck and the
non-comformity. Hunt referred to Council approval of a similar
situation, a deck was to be demolished and a new deck created. In case
of an emergency, Mr. Kiesling does not have access to the water so
there is a safety factor. Hunt considered the addition of a walkway
did not increase the non -conformity that existed prior to Mr. Kiesling
owning the house. He also took the opinion that the shoreline has been
recontured and was no longer lakebed.
Councilman Williams noted he did not see a hardship for granting this
variance. The DNR does not recommend approval, and, in the past, the
Council has tried to go along with the DNR recommendations. Mr.
Kiesling bought the house "as is" knowing work had to be done because
the house was unliveable. According to our code when a structure is
non -conforming and is damaged more than 50% of its value, Williams
pointed out it should not be replaced. By adding the walkway and
stairs to the walkway, he is increasing the degree of non-comformity.
Councilwoman Armstrong referred to Molly Shoedeen's letter, July 20,
1989, stating the DNR allows only raising the home on fill and clearly
states that no deck be allowed. Also the City received a letter, May
10, 1990, John Stine, DNR, stating they have repeatedly stated they
would not approve any further waterward encroachment on this site and
was opposed to the variance for the walkway. The City's Building
Official told Mr. Kiesling not to put sliding glass doors in, he went
ahead and put them in, and now he is claiming the three sliding glass
doors going nowhere as a hardship. The DNR recommends not granting a
variance for a walkway, and we should abide by the DNR's wishes.
A variance request requires a majority vote of the Council. The
applicant requested postponement for consideration of his request
until the next Council meeting.
M/S/P Hunt/Dunn - at the request of the applicant, the Council
postponed the request by Joseph Kiesling for a variance and shoreland
permit until the next City Council meeting. (Motion carried 3-1:
Williams: based on reasons stated).

B. Shoreland Permit to Reconstruct Existing Boat House
Paul Huot, 4955 Jamaca Avenue N.
Paul Huot has applied for a shoreland permit to reconstruct and
enlarge (by 4 feet) an existing boat house. Molly Shodeen, DNR,
reported on 5-30-90 that they have reviewed the proposal to rebuild a
boathouse on Lake Jane and have no objection to rebuilding it
consistent with the definition of "boat house". Adding a screen porch
onto the structure does not fit the definition and no permit should be
issued for including a screen porch structure.
M/S/P Williams/Armstrong - to grant a shoreland permit to Paul Huot,
4955 Jamaca Avenue N., to reconstruct and enlarge by 4 feet an
existing boat house and will remain a boat house and not a screen
porch/boat house combination based on no variances are required and on
DNR approval. (Motion carried 4-0).
Request by Planning Commission member, Ed Stevens:
Ed Stevens referred to the Metro Monitor regarding a meeting at the
Met Council for expansion of the Lake Elmo Airport. As a resident of
Lake Elmo, he is opposed to expanding the airport and plans on
attending the meeting in which this will be discussed. He requested a
statement from the Council indicating opposition by the City that he
could read at the meeting. Councilman Hunt would be available to read
this statement indicating the City does not anticipate the growth of
heavy industry and an airport in this area would not serve the
surrounding communities.
6. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT:
A. Street Improvement for 33rd Street & Laverne Avenue
Drainage Improvement for Old Village (Continuation)
M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to bring back Item 6A. for Council
consideration. (Motion carried 4-0).
At the June 5th Council meeting, the Council directed the City
Administrator to co-ordinate a meeting between Pete Schiltgen, Council
members Lee Hunt and Rose Armstrong and Larry Bohrer, to discuss a
possible drainage easement agreement.
Based on the work on the Old Village Drainage study, Bohrer had
concluded that in order to do the type of improvements he feels are
necessary, we will have to obtain some type of easement from Mr.
Schiltgen.
In meeting with Mr. Schiltgen, Councilmembers Hunt and Armstrong
became aware that the drainage in the Old Village area was only one
factor in the water problem he had. There still was drainage from the
airport and the fairground. All three of these together formed a
problem that could cause more problems down stream to Downs Lake. Mr.
Schiltgen felt the City's drainage plan would only solve one-third of
his problem, he still would have two-thirds of the problem that needed
to be addressed.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1990 PAGE 4
Armstrong indicated we should take a look at the water problem and
incorporate this with the road problem so that it is worked on next
year. The City should proceed forward and ask Larry Bohrer to come
up with new ideas on how to divert the water. The road is not in dire
straits that it has to be done this year, but should proceed with
the project.
Bohrer explained that minor corrections can be made, but this would
not be the problem solver. He was not familiar with how the
fairgrounds drainage comes into the area, but the airport drainage
does not enter Mr. Schiltgen's property until south of the railroad
tracks. If the Council wishes to postpone the project, ($42,000 of
Municipal State Aid Mtnce. Funds has been designated for this
particular project), he would have to come back with a recommendation
with what to do with this money. Bohrer stated he was not aware of
Mr. Schiltgen ever coming before the Council to discuss these drainage
problems. Bohrer pointed out the VBWD's position has been that their
proposal is to construct a small outlet for Downs Lake. This outlet
will not change their 100 year flood elevation for Downs Lake which
includes spilling over into the Eden Park area (known as the Durand's
Pond west of Legion Avenue).
Bohrer pointed out areas where water was evident:
--VFW Ballfield is not useable today because there is standing water.
--Lions Park Ballfield is not useable because the channel is still
running water right now.
--Layton Avenue Road
--Hardwood Lumber Co. use to store lumber outside, but because the
water would wash silt, etc. into the lumber, it would ruin the kniV.es
in the planes and damage the lumber.
--Nuisance Type Items: Timber which worked its way through and floated
out into the Lions Park ballfield, a pallet found sitting in
Schiltgen's field.
--Eugene Markgraf, 11002 Upper 33rd St., had water in his basement.
Bohrer added you cannot do the middle section of the Old Village
improvements without going all the way by some route to the railroad
culvert. If the intent of the Council would be to consider this
project for 1991, he would have to begin in 1990 so the easements are
available to us.
M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to direct City Engineer, Larry Bohrer, prepare a
list of potential road projects to use MSA Maintenance Funds.
(Projects under $100,000 take a 10-day advertisement for bids, over
$100,000 Projects takes 3-weeks.) If possible a go-ahead could be
given through a phone poll of the Council to begin any projects.
(Motion carried 4-0).
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1990 PAGE 5
Larry Bohrer stated he would send each Council member a mailed written
recommendation for potential road projects for this summer using MSA
Maintenance Funds. Then the City Admin. can take the appropriate poll
of the Council to determine how to proceed.. Bohrer will also send a
copy of this report to the VBWD for their comments. Councilman Hunt
volunteered to attend the VBWD meeting when this report will be
discussed.
M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to proceed with discussion on the proposed
drainage plan with VBWD and affected residents and pull together
information for discussion at the September 4th City Council meeting.
(Motion carried 4-0).
B. MPCA Response to Appeal for 201 Costs
The City received a letter from Timothy Scherkenbach, Water Quality
Div. of PCA regarding final determination for request of land and
related acquisiton costs (total cost:$50,900) resulting from the
condemnation award appeal and judgment on Site D as not eligible.
Each issue was addressed and a summary of their determination appears
in the letter. (See letter dated June 13, 1990 to Mary Kueffner from
Timothy Scherkenbach).
Larry Bohrer indicated no more research needed to be done, a'personal
appearance would not be required, it would just be review of the
record. Bohrer pointed out, as we go through the appeal process, its
less likely that we will be eligible for reimbursement, and we will
not get our final payment on our grant. Mayor Dunn will write a letter
reiterating the fact the City was caught by circumstances, totally,
beyond our control, and it is not fair we should be penalized.
M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to direct the staff to pursue the appeal to the
EPA for reimbursement of our condemnation costs for the 201 Project.
(Motion carried 4-0).
C. Update on Agreement to Provide Public Water to
Well Advisory Area
The County has met with the City of Oakdale who approved the joint
agreement by a 3-2 vote with some minor language change at that
meeting. A public informational meeting on the service area and a
public hearing to consider whether fire protection should or shouldn't
be added was scheduled for June 26th. Because of the reaction Mary
Luth got at the Oakdale City Council meeting, she has asked to
postpone this public hearing. Luth requested the cities enter into
the agreement before we proceed with the public hearing. The Council
will receive a copy of the new final draft of the agreement. In the
meantime, Armstrong requested the staff look at the VBWD project to
see if there is any indication if the drainage would come near this
property.
