Southeast Regional Treatment Plant The City received a memo, dated February 12, 1996, from the Metropolitan Council regarding Facility Planning for Phase 1 and 2 of the Southeast Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Craig Christenson, MCES Project Manager, explained a Community Site Selection Task Force has been created to provide a review of technical issues regarding plant sites and conceptual interceptor corridors. The Task Force is comprised of the following members: 5 representatives from Cottage Grove, one representative from Woodbury, one representative from 3M, and one from Lake Elmo (to be determined). Mr. Christenson handed out a Timetable for the Southeast Regional WWTP & Interceptor (MCES Project No. 9501). Dick Thompson, Met. Co., explained the Met Co. is working on identifying three growth options through the Metropolitan area, which are, a) current trends option, b) concentrated development option, and c) growth centers. Only one option, current trends option, can provide urban services for Lake Elmo. M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp - to direct the staff to formally request inclusion of a representative from the City of Lake Elmo on the Site Selection Task Force, and the staff select a member from the staff to participate on the committee; subject to the approval of the City Council at the March 19th Council meeting. (Motion passed 4-0). C. Barr Engineering: Review of Olson Lake Estates Pond Project Randy Peterson, Barr Engineering, and Dave Parkin, President of the VBWD, provided a review of the plans for the Olson Lake Estates Pond Outlet Project. Construction of the pipeline project is scheduled to begin in Pebble Park, followed by work on Lake Jane Trail and also north of Pebble Park along Olson Lake Trail. The work in Pebble is anticipated to last through the end of April. Construction activities will then begin in late April or early May on Lake Jane Trail and Olson Lake Trail and last until approximately July 1, 1996. Final restoration of the project area, including resurfacing of Lake Jane Trail, is scheduled for completion by August 1, 1996. Attorney Filla provided a draft agreement, based on discussions of February 20, 1996, for temporary use and permanent easement between the City of Lake Elmo, Carl Bolander & Sons, Inc. (contractor) and the Valley Branch Watershed District. The Council voiced its concern that the size of the pipe was larger than needed and with additional flows from areas west of Ideal Avenue could worsen downstream pollution and, also, indicated the contractor should be liable for charges if the water line is broken. Kes Tautvydas, Chair of the Parks Commission, voiced his concern on the ecology and the restoration of special plants and raspberries in Pebble Park and requested an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. M/S/P Hunt/John - to enter Into an agreement between the City of Lake Elmo, Carl Bolander & Sons, Inc. (contractor) and the Valley Branch Watershed District granting a temporary access to Pebble Park for storage of construction materials and equipment; subject to the final approval of the Parks Supervisor for the placement of materials (Storage Area 1 will be long term and Storage Area 2 as defined at meeting) for a period not to exceed March 19, 1996. (Motion passed 4-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 4, 1996 3 M/S/P John/DeLapp - to direct the staff to send a letter to the Oakdale City Council expressing Lake Elmo's concerns in relation to the discharge of this pipeline from other areas other than Olson Lakes Estates Pond and request they restrict both flow and volume to predevelopment rates. (Motion passed 4- 0). 5. CONSENT AGENDA: None 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. Assessment Policy:County Road 13 Project; Road Utility Administrator Kueff nor provided a draft of an assessment policy dated October 3, 1995. The City's policy In the past has been to assess on a per unit basis. Included in the draft assessment policy is the statement: "The City will assess properties along County roadways as if they were City streets." This was inserted because the County informed Lake Elmo during its County Road 13 presentation, that City participation was required based on its newly adopted improvement policy. Mayor John and Councilor Hunt favored the assessment policy and asked that the City attorney and engineer review it and submit their comments. Councilman Del-app requested that the cost and maintaining street lights be addressed in this policy. M/S/P Hunt/Johnston - to ask the City Attorney and Engineer to review the draft assessment policy and respond with comments at the next City Council meeting. (Motion passed 4-0). The Council received a copy of Mayor John's memo, dated November 6,1995, regarding a road utility. Mayor John felt it was time to consider setting up a City wide street maintenance utility. It is less likely to generate the personal conflicts and will involve an annual assessment which would be a more palatable amount. M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp - to direct the City Engineer and staff to study the feasibility of a road utility and also compare a set yearly budgeted item for road maintenance and report back to the Council. (Motion passed 4-0). M/S/P Hunt/John - to direct the City Administrator to send a letter to Washington County Staff, Don Theisen, Chris Thornton, expressing the City's position that the County should at least be liable for one assessment based on the fact that there is access of County Rd 13 to the Lake Elmo Regional Park. (Motion passed 4-0). B. Leonard Hanson property on Hudson Blvd. Planner Terwedo reported she talked to Len Hanson, today, and he would not be able to attend the Council meeting tonight. M/S/P Hunt/John - recognizing the fact that Len Hanson would not be able to attend the Council meeting, therefore, for his benefit, the Council is postponing consideration of this agenda item until the March 19 Council meeting when the Council intends to take action and request that Mr. Hanson attends. (Motion passed 4-0). C. Berschen property rezoning from RR to PF; response to petition for EAW Lake Elmo residents, James Blackford and Onno VanDemmeltraadt indicated an EAW is necessary to address several issues including noise, smell, dust and surface water runoff. Larry Bohrer, City Engineer, has reviewed the information submitted by residents supporting their request for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet prior to the rezoning of the Berschen property. According to Bohrer, there is no evidence that these factors would create a significant environmental impact. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 4, 1996 4 Jim Blackford expressed a concern about the potential for leaks from fuel tanks. He presented reports that in the past few years 38 underground tanks leaked at public work facilities in Minnesota. The Lake Elmo site will only have above ground fuel storage tanks set in concrete spill containment basins in case of a leak. Council member Johnston said the maintenance department currently has above ground tanks which are monitored about four times a year by the MPCA and have never had a problem. M/S/P Hunt/John - to deny the Petition for an EAW for the new public works facility (Berschens Site) based upon the following findings and because the Petition and the evidence presented by the Petitioners does not demonstrate that the project will have the potential for significant environmental effects: 1. The project, as revised: a. will be located on approximately fifteen (15) acres of land; b. will consist of a public works facility with a gross floor building area of approximately 10,000 sq.ft.; c. will not include any composting; and d. will require above -ground fuel storage tanks set in concrete, spill containment basins which will hold the entire volume of the tank should a leak occur. 2. The project does not meet or exceed any of the thresholds for a mandatory EAW. 3. If a public works facility is considered an institutional facility, the project is exempt from the requirements of an EAW pursuant to MR 4410.4600, Subpart 10A1. 4. Petitioners have not submitted any facts which would indicate that the project will have an adverse impact on water quality, loss of farm land, traffic, noise or air pollution. 5. The project will be constructed in accordance with the City's development regulations. 6. The access to the site from public roadways will be designed in accordance with MNDOT Road Design Manual I and the safety criteria contained therein. (Motion passed 4-0). 7. PARKS/MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT: A. Discussion of Recreational Facility in Sunfish Park Parks Supervisor, Mike Bouthilet, reported the Parks Commission is looking at areas in the City to expand outdoor ice rinks. The Commission has looked at a`boncept for hockey rinks and a ski shelter for Sunfish Lake Park to be put in their CIP. The question was raised by the Council regarding the initial Park Bond issue that was used to purchase the land and if we can make these amendments to the Master Park Plan. In the February 26, 1996 Parks minutes, the commission discussed an ice rink in DeMontreville Park and will look for a suitable location on the spring walk-thru of DeMontreville Park. Kes Tautvydas, Parks Chair, explained the commission has looked at the area in DeMontreville and without some major modifications of the surface, could not simply flood an area that exists now. They considered Sunfish Lake because it was more appropriate and centrally located for the community. In principal, the Council felt that all the proposed activities should be the subject of a neighborhood petition or a grand number of residents requesting establishment of this kind of facility. A host of people have not come in asking for this type of facility be provided in Lake Elmo. The Council agreed with the concept, but questioned if the City can do this because of Lawcon grants used for the development of Sunfish Lake Park. The Council encouraged the Parks Commission to continue with studies for such a facility. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 4, 1996 B. Letter received from Mike Polehna, St. Croix Valley Sports Commission The City received a letter from Mike Polehna, St. Croix Valley Sports Commission, seeking funding for the St. Croix Valley Sports Complex. They have set a goal for communities to contribute $25 per capita over 10 years. In discussing their presentation with the City Council, it was noted that there are portions of three school districts in the City of Lake Elmo. Through conversation with the City Planner, it was determined that 77% of Lake Elmo residents reside in School District #834. As per their funding plan, which is based on population, they are requesting the following contribution from the City: population 4,664 x $25 = $116,600 or $11,660 per year for 10 years. M/S/P John/Hunt - to table the request for funding by the St. Croix Valley Sports Commission for the St. Croix Valley Sports Facility until the next meeting. (Motion passed 4-0). 8. PLANNING, LAND USE AND ZONING: A. PUBLIC HEARING: Lake Elmo Elementary School: Variance to setback of parking lot; approval of plans for addition. The public hearing notice was published in the February 22, 1996 Stillwater Gazette and property owners within 350' were notified. Pete Smith, BWBR Architects, and Dan Parker, ISD #834, are requesting a variance to Section 301.130E. Parking: d. off-street parking spaces within 20' of any street right-of-way for an expansion of the Lake Elmo Elementary School and parking lot improvements. The building plans have been changed from a 7,301 sq.ft. addition to a 3,017 sq.ft. addition. The reductions to the expansion are deleting latch key area, band room, and small storage area. The Council received a letter from Tom Prow, TKDA, addressing the drainage features of the proposed alterations at the Elementary School. The school cannot meet every requirement of the City's stormwater ordinance, especially the requirement for permanent ponding. The reasons for this is that the site is intensely developed already and ponding could be a hazard for the young school children. Prow believed the architects have done everything that could be done on the site with the rate control catch basins and sediment sump. He recommended approval of the drainage_.plan. Mayor John opened up the public hearing at 10:18 in the City Council chambers. There was no one to speak for or against the variance request. Mayor John closed the public hearing at 10:20 p.m. M/S/P DeLapp/Johnston - to grant the variance to setback of parking lot requested by the Lake Elmo Elementary School based on the five findings stated in the March 4, 1996 staff report and the three conditions of approval. (Motion passed.4-0). M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp - to approve the site and plan for the addition to the Lake Elmo Elementary School, as presented by BWBR Architects, based upon the conditions by the staff and incorporating letter from Tom Prow, dated March 4, 1996. (Motion passed 4-0). B. PUBLIC HEARING: Christ Lutheran Church: Variance to side yard setback; approval of plans for addition. The public hearing notice was published in the February 22, 1996 Stillwater Gazette and the property owners within 350' were notified. The Council received a letter from Larry Bohrer, dated February 20, 1996, indicating the proposed building improvements do not alter drainage or sewage treatment needs. Therefore, no drainage or sewage treatment improvements are necessary at this time. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 4, 1996 6 i Christ Lutheran Church, 11194 36th St. N, is requesting remodeling of the Church building to better meet the needs of the elderly and the guidelines of the American Disabilities Act with the installation of an elevator, handicapped bathroom, nursery and creates space and functional problems necessitating a second story addition. The existing bell tower is in need of repair and will be replaced by a like tower. Mayor John opened up the public hearing at 10:30 p.m. in the Council chambers. There was no one to speak for or against the variance request. Mayor John closed the public hearing at 10:31 p.m M/S/P Johnston/Hunt - to grant the variance to side yard setback request by Christ Lutheran Church based on the five findings in the March 4,1996 staff report including the requirement by the City Engineer to review the existing septic facility as it relates to the expansion of the church. (Motion passed 4-0). M/S/P DeLapp/Hunt - to approve the site and plan review of the proposed addition for Christ Lutheran Church and including the letter from TKDA, dated February 20, 1996. (Motion passed 4-0). C. Recommendation from Planning Commission on Agricultural zoning regulations The Planning Commission recently received a draft ordinance that would incorporate storage, among other things, into the Ag zoning district by Conditional Use Permit. After reviewing the ordinance, the PZ referred it to the Ag Use Subcommittee so that standards could govern the proposed uses. The Commission did not initiate a public hearing to consider the draft amendment. Councilman Hunt asked if there is any desire by the Council to make the two existing Alternate Ag non- conforming uses legal conforming uses as long as the entire open space and uses are directly tied together so when the open space goes away, the use goes away. There were discussions by the PZ on the problems with storage, limitations and use of the sunset clause. Mayor John stated there are only five properties in the City that are more than 40 acres in size that are zoned agricultural and within those areas, you could have a portion of that property for a commercial venture. The following comments were submitted by Mayor John on the proposed Agricultural Draft Ordinance: 1) Repeat the problems of the Alternate Ag Ordinance, 2) Establishes commercial operation in districts not zoned Commercial. Most uses listed are already permitted. 3) Permits enterprises not now allowed in other commercial or limited business zones, 4) Under a CUP, the enterprise can continue indefinitely, and 5) The State, by tax benefits, already strongly supports the farmer. The CUP confers minimal additional benefit to the City. M/S/P HunUDeLapp - that the Ag Use Subcommittee be directed to refocus their efforts on solving existing non -conforming uses rather than on its expanded charter that it adopted for itself. (Motion passed 3-1:John:In the absence of anything specific, he can't go along with that. The Ag Use Subcommittee was trying to do this about nine months ago and got sidetracked. This motion is no more than what the committee was instructed before). D. Armstrong request for expansion of Conditional Use Permit The Council received a memo, dated March 4, 1996, from the City Administrator regarding the Armstrong Conditional Use Permit, site plan and proposed conditional use permit amendment. Tom Armstrong felt it would be inconsistent that the City is willing to accept a 50% sacrifice for open space in the proposed residential ordinance, but that for a low impact commercial use, which is subject to ifar more restricted standards than the maintenance facility which is going to be in an Ag area, the City finds it totally unacceptable when this commercial use would preserve 96% open space. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 4, 1996 Attorney Filla pointed out the City has no authority to amend the Armstrong CUP in any manner without ( underlying legislation which requires a recognition that storage use is a permitted or conditional use in the Ag zone. Once that is instituted, the applicant has a right to request that their current permit be amended. Councilman Hunt stated the Ag Use Committee will make a recommendation based on their charter which is to look at the uses and come up with standards and make a proposal ready for the next Council meeting. When the question was raised if the Armstrongs would be willing to let the process continue on, Tom Armstrong responded the alternative is years of litigation. Mr. Armstrong stated he is willing to work things out with the City and will agree to resolution by June 1,1996. M/S/P Hunt/John - that the City will review the Armstrong request for a CUP amendment at the March 19th council meeting as an item following the report from the Ag Use subcommittee. (Motion passed 4-0). E. Update on Open Space Comprehensive Plan Amendment Planner Terwedo provided a rough draft of the Open Space Comprehensive Plan amendment. This item will be placed on the March 11th Planning Commission agenda for discussion. The Council will review the amendment and contact the planner with any comments. 9. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT:None 10. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT:None 11. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: 12. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. Planner's Attendance at National Conference Ann Terwedo, City Planner, asked for council approval to attend the National Planning conference in Orlando, Florida from April 13-17. The cost for this conference is $1,035. The City budgeted $2,000 in 1996 for conferences and schools for the Planning Department. This includes Planning Commission member's attendance at local planning seminars. M/S/P Hunt/Johnston - to approve Ann Terwedo's attendance at the National Planning Conference in Orlando, Florida, April 13 through April 17, at a cost not to exceed $1,035. (Motion passed 4-0). B. Organized Collection The staff was asked to schedule a City Council workshop with the Solid Waste Advisory Committee and ask the City Attorney to attend to comment on organized collection in the City. M/S/P Hunt/Johnston - to adjourn the council meeting at 11:30 p.m. (Motion passed 4-0) Since the City Council does not have time to discuss every point presented, it may appear that decisions are preconceived. However, staff provides background information to the City Council on each agenda item in advance; and decisions are based on this information and experience. In addition, some items may have been discussed at previous council meetings. If you are aware of information that has not been discussed, please fill out a "Request to Appear Before the City Council" form; or, if you came late, raise your hand to be recognized. Comments that are pertinent are appreciated. Items may be continued to a future meeting if additional time is needed before a decision can be made.
