Highway 5 Recommendations from Planning Commission Mayor John reported when he talked to Don Jordan, 3M, he indicated they would like to develop their property as a low impact business and had no urgent short range plans. The Council requested a copy of the Limited Business ordinance be given to Mr. Jordan. Howard Michels' Residential Estates concept shows their property subdivided, with two lots that are approx. 10 acres in size and six lots of approx. 2.5 to 5 acres in size. The council thought this concept would bring the lots in the Beau Haven Subdivision more into conformance with the city's zoning ordinance and blend in well with the portion of surrounding residential properties. Council member Conlin indicated the Planning Commission's original suggestion for Limited Business between Hwy 5 and the railroad tracks is appropriate and saw no need at this time to do this broad of a study. While the council is deciding whether or not to pursue the Highway 5 Corridor Study, they made the following motion for the PZ to start the process. M/S/C John/Johnston - to direct the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing to consider a comprehensive plan amendment and to rezone the Highway 5 corridor, north of the railroad tracks, south of State Trunk Highway 5, between Stillwater Blvd. and Ideal Avenue, to Limited Business.

A final plat must be submitted within 180 days after said approval or the approval of the preliminary plat shall be considered void unless a request for time extension is submitted and approved by the city council.

G-(� March 11,1994 Sharon Lumby Deputy City Clerk City of Lake Elmo My family and I live on 15th street North and are neighbors of Sue Sampson. I am sure you know of all the problems we have witnessed over the last 2 years. That is why I am writing to you today. There are many rules in life, some of which we agree with and some we may not, but as a society we have a responsibilty to follow the rules. If we do not, there are penalties which are put in place to avoid similar problems. In the Sampson barn issue this is not the case. I am very disturbed that the city has allowed the obvious disregard of city ordinances and policy to go unpunished! Sue Sampson has known all along what she did was not acceptable. I sat in on all the meetings of the City Council when it was decided she was in violation and she was given a deadline to take down or move the barn. Each time the deadline passed without any concern, on her part, of a penalty for her inaction. She has been given more than her share of chances to correct her mistake and to try and restore order to our neighborhood. Take the action that is needed to remove the violation and restore my faith in the City of Lake Elmo. I am also writing on a related issue. I received a notice that my other neighbor, John Nicholson would like a variance for his barn. In this situation, the barn has no effect on myself or my property. If this is also the case with the Linders Greenhouse property, then I see no reason not to allow the variance. But I want to emphasize only if Linders also agree to this proposal. This is not the situation we have in the Sue Sampson issue. If this is, in any way, seen as a tactic by Sue Sampson to help her cause and to allow her barn to stay, then John Nicholson's request should be delayed until Sue Sampson's barn is either moved or torn down! Our neighborhood is being divided by the actions of a few and inactions of many. Have Sue Sampson abide by the rules and restore calm to our little section of Lake Elmo.

I. Trees One hundred thirty-five (135) trees were removed for this project. The majority were within the right-of-way, The only trees removed on private property were on a vacant lot north of Lake Jane Trail and west of Jamaca Avenue. This lot is heavily wooded. State aid rules allow planting two replacement trees for each tree removed. The trees must be planted within the right-of-way, but outside of the clear zone, On this project this leaves only 1' to plant a tree in. An exception to this is where major regrading took place, trees can be planted off the right -of way, Because we did very little grading work off the right•of-way, we have very little opportunity to replace trees, We have had only one .request for replacement of trees, Dan and Carl Olinger have requested that a row of white pine trees be planted on the fill slope on the north side of Lake Jane Trail. Their request will require about 35 trees, Fifteen to twenty trees were removed inside the right-of-way through this area. These replacement trees would cost $5,250, The original bid called for $11,850 in trees. We are asking for Council direction on whether these, or other trees, should be planted on this job, 2, Fences - Conrad R=*Mr Prior to this project, the Conrad residence had a red board fence bordering a field, and a large lilac hedge in front of the home. Both the fence and the hedge straddled the property line, and were in the way of regradhtg, Because of its age the red fence would have been difficult to salvage and replace, Mr. Conrad agreed that a wood post, woven wire fence would be an acceptable replacement. This fence is in the project and the cost is comparable to salvaging and replacing the old fence, NFIP 31 '94 11:55 Tk;DR fISSOC., INC. 292-0083 P.E Honorable Mayor and City Council March 3 0, 1994 Page 2 Mr. Conrad was very concerned about the loss of privacy, and extra traffic noise he would have as a result of the bushes being removed. We proposed replacement bushes, but Mr. Conrad felt they would take too long to grow, Mr. Conrad proposed that a privacy fence be erected to replace the bushes. He felt to be fair, if the City would purchase the materials, he would build the fence himself. The estimated coat of the materials for this fence is $1,500. The fence materials would be eligible for State Aid funds. We recommend that the new woven wire fence be installed and the privacy fence materials be purchased for Mr. Conrad's yard. 3, Fence at ft&WWg Wall by Olina^ er H_ ouse This retaining wall was built higher than the planned height to better match the Olinger's front yard. We feel the 6 - 7' height of this retaining wail now requires some fencing to help protect against accidents. Mr. Olinger would like to see a white post and board type fence made of PVC or similar plastic. We estimate this type of fence, installed will cost $1,500, and is eligible for State Aid funds. We recommend this fence be installed by the contractor. Sincerely, Larry D. Baker, P.B.

We must make sure the Governor and Legislature are hearing our message: cities are not a "special interest" lobbying on their own behalf at the Legislature; cities are a partner in the Eovernment of Minnesota, providing city services to the over three million people who live in cities as well as those who come to our cities to work, for entertainment, or receive an education. Almost every person in Minnesota uses city services on a daily basis.

The Legislature and Governor restore the shortfall in the Local Government Trust Fund which they created so that there will be no cuts in government aid (LGA) and homestead agricultural aid credit (HACA) in 1994, and provide reliable additional funding for LGA and HACA in future years to preserve the fiscal stability of cities; 2.

LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES PRESIDENT DECLARES CITY UNITY DAY. "Thursday, April 21st, will be the first City Unity Day." League of Minnesota Cities President and Mayor of St. Cloud Chuck Winkelman declared. "The League of Cities Board of Directors has authorized a City Unity Rally at the State Capitol to demonstrate that all city officials throughout the state are working together to improve the delivery of city services to the over four million people who live, work and receive an education in one of our communities." The city of at its meeting on the declaration of Cities Unity Day, according to Mayor _ joined in "Residents of Minnesota Cities appreciate the ability of cities to provide services at a reasonable cost," League President Winkleman continued. "Drinkable water, plowed and maintained streets, sanitary sewer systems, parks and recreation programs, police and fire protection are all taken for granted. But city government leaders are also working to improve the local economy, ensuring that there are decent jobs and adequate housing for all." "To do this, city government needs fiscal stability," Winkelman adds, "Every city would like to be fiscally independent from state assistance, but the local property tax base often is inadequate to provide the financial resources to achieve this goal. The state contributes about five percent (just over five hundred million dollars) of its annual revenues to help cities maintain these services. This assistance to cities, in the form of homestead agricultural credit aid and local government aid, helps us to keep property taxes down." "If the Legislature and the Governor would help us strengthen our own local economies we could rely even less on state aids, and an improved property tax base would mean lower taxes for all." -over- "The Legislature and Governor seem reluctant to help cities, and the residents who use city services daily. A modest 5 % increase in state aid payments would help us avoid property ( tax increases next year. We're seeking more authority to improve our local economies, through the use of tax increment financing to pay a portion of the cost of new manufacturing and redevelopment, and a greater ability to manage the growth of our communities through a more efficient boundary adjustment process." "By rededicating ourselves to the goals of all the cities in Minnesota and working together through the League of Minnesota Cities, we can send a strong message to the state: either help cities maintain their viability or accept the responsibility for their decline." -NEEWS For Immediate Release For more information call Duke Addicks, Director of Intergovernmental Relations, League of Minnesota Cities (612) 490-5600.

Lake Elmo 3800 Laverne Avenue, North Lake Elmo, MN 55042 Dear Mary, RE: Cooperative Oak Witt Suppression Program RESOURCES FILE NO. 29 March 1994 Over the past few weeks, I have had many, of our cooperators asking questions concerning the status of the federal oak wilt suppression funds for 1994. The rumor has been that these funds have been cut for 1994, and, while there is an element of truth in the rumor, I would hope that Mark Twain's famous quip "That rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated' holds here as well. As best as I know, here's the story. On February 25, 1994, the federal Secretary of Agriculture sent a letter to the Office of Management and Budget, OMB, (federaD with an attached "Request for an Emergency Pest Suppression Declaration Part of the declaration is for federal assistance for oak wilt suppression in Minnesota. This is (and has been for many years) the normal process for federal pest suppression assistance to states. As of today, the Director of OMB has declined to approve the request. This has the effect of eliminating the program literally days before many of the supported activities would begin. At the risk of under statement, it will derail Minnesota's oak wift program plus a host of other related programs around the country. Wisconsin's Gypsy Moth Suppression, slated to begin in several weeks, would also directly impact us. I assume that, as this action would directly impact your program, it is a concern to you. As I see it, one of two series of events now comes to pass. Either the request is supported by the communities it assists and rises from the ashes.... (If you think that this is a worthwhile program, it would seem appropriate for you to let your federal elected representatives know it is important. Senator Wellstone's staff is already aware of the issue, but could always use another call or letter. There are also several Congressmen whose Districts include communities with programs.) ... On the other hand, silence will send an equally strong message. It seems ironic to note that Minnesota passed a milestone in its Oak Wilt Program a few weeks ago when it treated it's 1,0001h infection center. You have now installed over 76 miles of vibratory plow line and removed almost 3,500 spore producing trees. Good work Sincerely, Thomas G. Ell Ph.D., C.T.I.
