Heritage Preservation Commission M/S/P Hunt/Conlin - to remove from the table the Heritage Preservation item. (Motion passed 5-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 21, 1995 2 Sue Johnson, Heritage Preservation Commission Chair, explained they will be applying for a grant to survey Lake Elmo to help define the cities' historic places. Johnson added "Old Lake Elmo is a town worth saving". Commission member, Gloria Knoblauch, stated the commission should save individual buildings instead of building a fence around the old downtown. They could also look into the century farms and other buildings. Councilman Hunt explained the old village has some unique characteristics, and we need to come up with a way to modify the ordinance. He would be willing to wait a year to see if the HPC could work closer with the Planning Commission to create an overlay district for the Old Village area that would take into account the current old village district and come up with suggestions for code changes for a more effective use of the Old Village. Johnston suggested that the new city planner be a liaison between the HPC and the Planning Commission. Mayor John voiced his concern that he did not want to create another layer of bureaucracy if a business wanted to move into the old village. M/S/F DeLapp/Hunt - to repeal Section 212 of the Lake Elmo Municipal Code, establishing the Heritage Preservation Commission. Further, that consideration be made to re institute a Heritage Preservation Committee as a sub -committee of the Planning Commission operating under the auspices of the city council, rather than an ad hoc committee of the Planning Commission. (Motion Failed 1-4:Conlin, Hunt, John, Johnston). M/S/P Hunt/Johnston - to appoint Susan Johnson, Gloria Knoblauch and Lenore Mottaz to the Heritage Preservation Commission and advertise the vacancies in the next city newsletter and appoint members for specific terms so the terms are staggered and all seats do not become vacant at the same time. (Motion passed 5-0). Liaison from the council to the HPC will be on the March 7th council agenda. B. Derrick Land Co.: Revised Proposal for Lot 2, DeMontreville Highlands 3rd Addition M/S/P Hunt/Conlin - to remove Derrick Land from the table. (Motion passed 5-0). M/S/P Hunt/ DeLapp - to deny the request of Derrick Land to amend the grading plan change to increase the height to 981 because even though the grading plan is amended as proposed (Refer to Paragraph #6 of legal stipulation) the septic system could not be constructed according to a design approved by the city's consulting engineer and the city engineer has indicated he cannot approve the function of the system and that's supported by the last two years evidence that what's In place now is not dispersing natural water to a point where you can achieve the separation required at the critical time of the year. (Motion passed 5-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 21, 1995 3 C. Human Rights Commission Attorney Filla reviewed the proposed Multi -Community Human Rights Commission Ordinance. In his report, dated February 17, 1995, Filla believed that this particular function would best be structured as a Joint Powers Agreement between all of those communities that wish to participate. The council received a draft of a proposed Joint Powers Agreement. M/S/P John/Conlin - to table for two weeks and instruct staff to send copies to Oak Park Heights and Lakeland Shores as well as a cover letter stating the city would send this Joint Powers Agreement along with no recommendation, but to note the agreement is still being reviewed and make other communities aware of this proposal and ask them to respond by April 1,1995. (Motion passed 5-0). 6. PLANNING/LAND USE & ZONING: A. Hammes Sand & Gravel:Text Amendment to allow recycling The city's position is the Hammes property is currently a nonconforming use because that occurred in 1986 when the city has repealed its mining regulations. When they did that, the Hammes property became non -conforming and continues in that posture legally today. The Hammes' can continue to mine the entire site even though it is now non -conforming. Recycling is not part of the definition of mining, has never been part of this definition, and has never been authorized by the city. The property owner has been asked to discontinue the recycling operation in the past. What is before the city is whether or not as a city do they wish to add recycling to the category of uses that are allowed in the Ag zone. Richard McNamara, adjacent property owner, stated we have lived next to the Hammes family many years where they started off with a sand pit --no problem with that, gone from light industrial to heavy industrial, now they have gone into recycling of hazardous waste. They have expanded quite a bit. Vehicles out on our farm need windshield wipers to clean windshields in the morning. He voiced concerns on the hazardous waste of all the contaminants, noise, use of the area, time, weekends, problems with CUP, and extended mining operations which bring up the health safety issue. M/S/P Conlin/Hunt - to table for two weeks for the staff to prepare a formal resolution denying the Hammes application expressing the reasons we have for not wanting to have the recycling use part of the city's regulations: 1. Include comments in Jeff Smyser's staff report of January 18, 1995, 2. Concerns stated by Richard McNamara, adjacent property owner, 3. the city is currently engaged in an 1-94 corridor study and the impact on the Hammes property to be reviewed in connection with that study and at this time not willing to expand any conditional agricultural uses. (Motion passed 5-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 21, 1995 ZF B. Request for text amendment regarding length of cul-de-sacs Robert Helwig submitted a letter requesting that the city amend Section 401.380 of the city code which regulates the length of the permanent cul-de-sacs to eliminating any and all references to the length of cul-de-sacs. He pointed out existing cul-de-sacs in our city that are from .3 to .6 of a mile which definitely over 800 feet. This would affect two developments which are currently underway. The council felt this has been an issue of concern and treated this as a city request rather than a property owners' request. The council asked the Planning Commission to initiate a study as to whether or not 800 feet is good or bad. M/S/P Conlin/DeLapp - to ask the Planning Commission to study Section 401.380 of the city code governing the regulations on length of cul-de-sacs, including a definition of temporary cul-de-sacs, and place this as a priority item on their next meeting. (Motion passed 5-0). 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Resolution No. 95-13 through 95-22 receiving feasibility reports and calling public hearing for 1995 overlays 1. Jane Road:Upgrade for bike/pedestrian trail improvements: The parks commission recommended that a bicycle/pedestrian trail not be incorporated into the bituminous overlay of Jane Road at this time. The commission also recommended the council Incorporate into the 1995 overlay projects a stripe which delineates a 4' wide trail be painted at the time of overlay on both sides of all those roads that are designated future bike/pedestrian trails on the Comp Plan. The commission recognized the striping would be paid for by the city from the parks budget and the roads recognized are 42nd St., Jamaca Avenue, Jamaca Blvd. (north of Lake Jane), 55th and 53rd Street. Bohrer will look into the ramifications of posting signs designating areas as bikeway; such as, would parking be prohibited on all of those streets. 2. Discussion with Lake Elmo Hardwood Lumber: They have had discussions with Joe Rogers, who would be the property owner totally assessed for those improvements, and he does not favor such an improvement. This proposed project will be deleted. 3. Discussion with the owners of the Brookfield Addition regarding the shared driveway between the city hall and Brookfield I. They are very much in favor of looking into the possibility that this common driveway would be adopted as a city street and then improved. This project will remain in the report. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 21, 1995 5 M/S/P Johnston/John - to approve Resolutions 95-13 through 95-22 receiving feasibility ( reports and call a public hearing for March 9, 1995 to review the 1995 overlay projects with inclusion of striping cost on the designated roads as recommended by the Parks Commission as an informational item at the March 7, 1995 council meeting. (Motion passed 5-0). Councilman Hunt is a property owner on the list for street improvements and asked if he should abstain from voting. Filla responded that a conflict of interest deals primarily with contracts and having a financial interest. Filla will contact the League of Minnesota Cities for more information. B. Further discussion on Lake Elmo/Oakdale Joint Sewer Project Larry Bohrer explained in his report dated February 17, 1995 that an agreement between Lake Elmo and Oakdale to settle the Section 32/33 issues has been executed. One of the provisions of the agreement is a joint sanitary sewer construction. project, provided such project is feasible and cost effective. In all of the joint meetings I have attended, Oakdale is willing to cooperate in a joint project provided two conditions are met: 1. The joint project will not cost Oakdale any more in first cost than a "stand alone" system. 2. The joint project will not cause delay in Oakdale's current projects. The first project is under construction now with a second project scheduled for this summer. The lift station is scheduled for 1996. In an effort to determine the best course of action regarding a joint construction project, we have prepared up-to-date cost estimates based on the latest information available. The purpose of this letter is to determine Oakdale's base cost for a stand-alone system and then compare that cost to various joint projects to determine Lake Elmo's cost. M/S/P Hunt/Conlin - to direct the city engineer to work with the city administrator to update the 1992 440 MUSA application and arrange appropriate hearings as required to prepare for submission of the application to the Metropolitan Council as expeditiously as possible and to pass along our favor of Option 2-Lake Elmo Independent System to the City of Oakdale. (Motion passed 5-0). 8. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: Attorney Filla reported that a week ago Friday Federal Land argued that Judge Doyscher's order allowed them to submit any proposal for review under the 1979 plan and the 1994 proposal was substantially the same as the 1980-87 proposal. The city argued that under Doyscher's order it did not allow them to submit any proposal that allowed them to resubmit the 1980/87 proposal and the 1994 proposal was LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 21, 1995 substantially different than the 1980-87 proposal. Judge Doyscher gave them until Friday, February 24, 1995 to submit any additional information. 9. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Mayor John reported that on February 9 he attended the Washington County Planning Commission meeting which was reviewing their Comprehensive Plan. Long term planning issues were discussed for West Lakeland. On February 13 he presented the Rural City Center concept to the Lake Elmo Business Association together with a request that they provide tangible evidence of their support for the visit of the Minnesota Design Team. On February 16 he attended a workshop organized by the Office for Social Justice, part of Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis to discuss the growing concern for the increasing poverty of the City Centers, and its spread to the inner ring of suburbs. The workshop was part of a public awareness program,. to make sure that everyone in the developing outlying suburbs were aware of the growing problems at the city's cores. Council member DeLapp provided a copy of an article entitled "BofA joins battle on suburban sprawl" out of the February 20, 1995 San Francisco Examiner. Council member Hunt suggested it may be a good idea for all commissions and committees in the city to organize mission statements every few years. This would help ( with communication between the various commission and the city council. Possible sunset clauses for certain committees or commission should also be investigated. He also brought up his concern on the future of the Lake Elmo Library and wanted to talk about this at a future council meeting in regard to a proposed move to Oakdale and comments from County Commissioner Hauser. 10.

I believe that this particular function would best be structured as a Joint Powers Agreement between all of those communities that wish to participate. I am enclosing the draft of a proposed Joint Powers Agreement and offer the following comments 1. The name of the Joint Human Rights commission would have to be selected in some manner. 2. The initial number of Commission members would have to be determined and the Agreement amended accordingly. I have presumed that there would be two members from each city on the initial Commission and that the terms of office would be staggered no that one-third of the terms expire each year. 3. The City should determine what, if any, budget will be required for the City's participation in the Joint Powers Agreement, Please review and contact me with your comments. Very truly yours, Jerme �.

BofA joins battle' on suburban sprawl Engine that once drove Califom14 . economy may be running in reverse By Gary Delsohn MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE SACRAMENTO — Suburban sprawl is like the weather. Practi- cally everyone complains about it but no one ever does anything. That's not completely true, of course. There are alternatives to endless miles of look -alike subur- ban subdivisions, but they seem somehow alien, as if challenging the predominant American devel- opment pattern is, well, un-Ameri- can. Now, however, a singularly American institution, the powerful Bank of America, the biggest in the state of California and one of the most pervasive underwriters of our suburban development patterns, has added its resonant voice to the chorus. In addition to all the other more obvious reasons sprawl is harmful, it now is seen, after decades of being the state's economic engine, as an economic drain on a Califor- nia struggling to rebound from a deep recession. Simply put, we can't continue doing things the way we have the past 50 years; it's costing us jobs, quality of life and new economic growth. That simple reversal alone is significant news, but it's far more important because of who said it. "Beyond Sprawl: New Patterns of Growth to Fit the New Califor- nia," is one of those documents that could and should alter the'"all- important debate over how, Cali- fornia develops. Much of the die has already been cast. California is ;now the nation's most urbanized state, and much of that urbanization has been suburban sprawl that is t'oul ing our air, congesting our roads, costing us untold tens of millions of dollars in wasteful infrastructure and helping to destroy whatever, fragile sense of physical communi- ty we have left. It also means we have very little to invest in our inner cities or in people who need help the most. With the state continuing to add some 500,000 new people a year, the equivalent of another Oakland or Fresno every 365 days, there remain many profound land -use decisions to be made. Business as usual will simply destroy Califor- nia, says the report. It doesn't matter much if Bank of America had to be dragged into. [ See DESIGN, D-T 0 ( S�N fiYw cl s" "AM l `ZS CD CUR- ♦ DESIGN from D-1 BofA joins battle on suburban sprawl the report by its environmental di- vision. Or if the language in the paper is not all that dramatic or bold. What matters is the word has come down from the mountain top. Moses has spoken. Environmen- talists, growth management advo- cates and affordable -housing pro- ponents now have a powerful new ally they didn't have just a few months ago. The report unfortunately steers clear of advocating such controver- sial remediea as urban limit lines, those definite development bound- aries that seem to work so well in less avaricious states, such as Ore- gon, where quality of life is more than just a slogan. It advocates such apple pie sug- gestions as making housing afford- able to as wide a range of the public as possible, encouraging more effi- cient use of existing resources, streamlining the permit process to encourage development in urban and older suburban areas. But just the fact that BofA has joined forces with other advocates of controlled and managed growth is a big step for those in the trenches who've been shouting this message alone for years. The bank is not the only new voice, however. The report's co- sponsors are the California Re- sources Agency, the Greenbelt Alli- ance environmental group in San Francisco and the Low Income Housing Fund. A more disparate group would be hard to find And while it may be surprising to some to see a department of Gov. Wilson's come out against sprawl, remember that Wilson un- derstands well, from his days as mayor of San Diego, the impor- tance of a strong center city and the insidious effects of Los Ange- les -type development patterns. Wilson's campaign promise Wilson has disappointed growth management advocates by failing to follow through on the pledge in his first campaign to be Califor- nia's growth management gover- nor. Budget woes and Capitol poli- tics forced him to forgo a strong program.i But the governor's own office o1 policy research said a few yeara;agq..; that California could no longer 'df-' ford to develop as if the supply of land, clean air, energy and money' for roads, schools and other ser- vices would go on forever.. "What may have been possible with 10 or even 20 million people is simply not sustainable for a popu- lation of twice that much in the same space," the research office' said. This new report is an important follow-up to that earlier efforC cause adding the state and Bank'of' America to the environmentalist- housing coalition gives it a poten- . tial clout it could only dream of in.. the past. "We can no longer afford the luxury of sprawl," the BofA-co-:a sponsored report said. "Our demo- graphics are shifting in dramatic ways. Our economy is restructur ing. Our environment is under'in ' creasing stress. We cannot shape California's future successfully up-,,,' less we move beyond sprawl." What next, then? The report was presented to the' Little Hoover Commission, which studies government waste and' could make recommendations for legislation. But any really mean- ingful growth management mea-s� . sures will continue to be an ex j tremely tough sell in the Capitol Sri; until they are seen as a hot eHn , with the public. Giving up is out of the question' and the broader, more potent de- bate the report augurs can only help. ,,The fact that such a diverse. group has reached consensus on the ideas in this report reflects how important the issue of growth is to all Californians," Richard Morri- son, BofA's senior vice president for environmental policies and pro- grams, said of "Beyond Sprawl." "We hope it will make a mean ingful contribution to the public dialogue about the quality and di- rection of California'a growth in: the 21st century." It already has.
