and cities offering their equipment, personnel and even money to meet those needs. With this in mind, they
have created the Cities Helping Cities Program.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 6, 1997
Councilor Conlin felt it was hard to offer equipment or personnel because of the great distance to travel to
the site, but the Council could consider a possible monetary donation. Councilman Hunt suggested asking
the Maintenance, Fire, Parks Departments if they have any equipment to donate. Mayor John pointed out
there was a Charitable Donation line in the budget, and they could look at what money was available.

property from Baytown Township to Lake Elmo and postpone discussion to Item 10E. (Motion passed 4-
1:Conlin:This item was added to the agenda at tonight's meeting and the City Council had no advance
notice or opportunity to study the proposal. Mistakes happen when you rush and she was uncomfortable on
acting on this)
Bob Engstrom asked for a grading permit for the Fields of St. Croix. Attorney Fills, responded that under
the City's Ordinance Excavating and Grading Permits require a public hearing and also the Final Plat of the
Fields of St. Croix has not had final Council approval, therefore, a grading permit cannot be issued.

Don Jordan, 3M Real Estate were in attendance to answer questions from the residents or Council. The
Council had attended a workshop to discuss the preliminary plans submitted for County Road 13. A draft
resolution was provided for approval of the preliminary plans for the Improvements of CSAH13 and TH5
to approximately 1500 feet North. The Council reviewed the resolution and made the following changes
to incorporate their concerns:
M/S/P Hunt/Dunn - to amend Resolution No.97-12 Approving the Preliminary Plans for the Improvement
- - of CSAH 13 from TH5 to approximately 1500 feet North adding: WHEREAS the City of Lake Elmo will
not support any future road plans that would increase north bound traffic on Ideal Avenue, including the
proposed new construction (shown on plans dated 4-11-97) showing a double left turn lane out of the
Imation property to north bound Ideal. (Motion passed 5-0).
M/S/P John/Hunt - to amend Resolution No. 97-12 by adding a third condition: The Cities of Lake Elmo

recommendation to MnDOT that the posted speed limit on this road section be 40 mph. (Motion passed 5-

M/S/P Hunt/Dunn - to adopt Resolution No. 97-12, as amended, Approving the Preliminary Plans for the

B. Update on 30a' Street
Tom Prew reported he has submitted the 30'" Street plan to MnDOT and they have decided not to approve
the round -a -bout. Prow recommended proceeding with an application for a variance from State -Aid rules
for the round -a -bout. The Council authorized him to proceed with the variance request. The variance
hearing will be in mid -June. If the variance is denied, the Council will need to decide whether or not to
proceed with this project at this time.
Mayor John provided an article from USA Today, May 2, 1997, on traffic calming measures helping to
slow the fast flow of commuters and other drivers through residential streets and one of the suggestions is a
round -a -bout or traffic circle.
M/S/P Hunt/John - to adopt Resolution No. 97-13, A Resolution requesting a variance from Minnesota
Rule 8820.9936 for the design speed on the Round -a -bout at the intersection of 30"' Street and Lisbon
Avenue. (Motion passed 4-1:Dunn concerned about safety issues.).
C. Future Upgrade costs for 50" St.
Because the Fields of St. Croix subdivision will connect to 50"' Street, a method was needed to determine
how much to charge the developer for the future improvement of that street. The Council chose to assess
them an amount equivalent to the amount that would have been collected if the property were subdivided
under the RE zoning. Attorney Filla explained the in the Development Agreement there will be a
paragraph including the developer bad asked for some timing of when the payment would be made because
he would want to sell and develop a certain number of lots to generate some resources to pay the fees.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 6, 1997
D. Partial Payment #4, S.J. Louis Cons. Section 33 Utilities
In memo dated May 1, 1997, Lang Bohrer reported the work associated with the SE'/< Section 33

7. PARKS/MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT/FIRE DEPARTMENT.
8. PLANNING.LAND USE & ZONING:
A. Subdivision variance for Olson Lake Trail, Applicant: Sovereign
At the March 10,1997 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended a minor subdivision
(8-lot line adjustments). This was done to correct a problem with a lot of record that is paced between
Olson Lake Trail North and nine existing parcels. The proposal is to subdivide the parcel and combine
them with the adjacent parcels. An issue was raised regarding the subdivision ordnance. A minor
subdivision is a division of land resulting in no more than two parcels of land and this has eight. A
variance is needed to subdivide this parcel. At its April 28th meeting, the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the variance based on the findings of the City Planner.
M/S/P DeLapp/Conlin — to adopt Resolutions Nos. 14-21, Resolutions granting a Minor Subdivision to
Kenneth L. Sovereign and Janet L. Sovereign based on the findings of the City Planner and the
recommendation of the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 5-0).
B. Appeal Request for sign variance by Richard Kosman, Leslie's Floor Ddcor.
City Attorney Filla reviewed the sign ordinance in relation to this request. The sign ordinance is not in the
zoning section of the code and therefore the variance provision of the zoning code does not apply to this
application.
M/S/P Hum/DeLapp - to deny the variance request for placement of a 64 sq.ft. sign, 20 ft. in height, 20 ft.
from the public roadway requested by Richard Kosman, Leslie's Floor Decor, 11227 Stillwater Blvd.
(Motion passed 4-1:Dunn: 1) Business owners not notified of new sign ordinance, 2) Sign requested a
reduced size to what is currently in place at the business; 3) Sign concerns should have been dealt with at
PZ level before approval of the project; 4) Refund the cost of applying for a variance to Mr. Kosman of
Leslie's Floor Decor).
Councilor Dunn felt the sign ordinance is not appropriate for the corners in the Old Village, An example is
Mr. Kosman's variance request for the height of the sign is mainly due to the accumulative snow
preventing customers traveling Highway 5 to miss the sign and drive past their location, It was suggested
that the Lake Elmo Business Association be invited in for their input on signage
M/S/P Hunt/John — to direct the staff to update items of detail in the sign ordinance based on discussion and
include input from the Lake Elmo Business Community and any interested residents. (Motion passed 5-0).
C. Rezone from (RR) Rural Residential to (OP) Open Space Preservation District, THE HAMLET
Planner Terwedo explained Robert Whitman, 1381 Lake Elmo Avenue, is requesting a zoning map
amendment to rezone a 90 acre parcel of land from (RR) Rural Residential to (OP) Open Space
Preservation District. The parcel of land has been identified in the future land use map as an open space
development area.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 6, 1997
The Council received a letter from Joan Chavez, 3505 Kelvin Avenue N., stating their concerns that there
be thorough planning and proper impact studies done because she does not believe it is in the best interest
of this site to be developed so densely. A letter was submitted from Everett Beaubien giving past history of
Sunfish Lake and requesting consideration to control the peaceful and private nature lake and guarantee
that the water table will never exceed 896.2.
M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp — to adopt Ordinance No. 9703, An Ordinance amending Section 300.07 "Zoning
District Map" of the 1997 Lake Elmo Municipal Code rezoning The Hamlet from (RR) Rural Residential to
(OP) Open Space Preservation District based on the Findings of Fact stated in the City Planner's report, the
recommendations of the Planning Commission that the proposed development is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map.. (Motion passed 4-1:Dunn felt this OP Zoning was not
appropriate for this land.)
D. OP Development Concept Plan, Toby Schifsky, THE HAMLET
Jack Buxell provided an open space development concept pan for the development of a 41 unit mixed use
residential development (29 single-family homes and 12 duplex units) and the preservation of
approximately 44.5 acres of open space. The site is commonly known as the Whitman Farm and is located
north of Sunfish Lake, which is a natural environment lake, and south of 43`s Street, The site is in the
shoreland district and all land within 1000 feet of the shoreland of Sunfish Lake is regulated by the
Shoreland District Regulations of the code. The developer and city staff have met with Molly Shodeen,
Area Hydrologist wit the DNR, and she has recommended that the plat be processed as a PUD which is
provided in the City's Platting Regulations.
In his memo dated April 7, 1997, Tom Prow reviewed the concept plan and made the following comments:
1. A 40' wide street right-of-way should be platted along 50a` Street, 2. The sharp curves coming in off of
50'h Street should be a minimum 250' radius, 3. A prepayment of assessments for the future upgrade of 506'
Street needs to be included in the developers agreement, 4. Consideration should be given to providing
street access to the property to the north, and 5. Stormwater ponding needs to be designed into this project.
At its April 14a' meeting, the Parks Commission recommended an in -lieu park fee and discussed a tmilway
access from 43 s Street and recommended the trail be placed in such a location which would access Sunfish
Park and connect to the City Center. Mr. Buxell stated they had not originally proposed a connection
because it is very sloppy and highly erodable soil and difficult to make such a connection.
At its April 140' meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval, but voiced a concern on the
access to 43Ta Street and that Lots 1 and 2 on the northwest edge of the property should be located to the
Village Green.
M/S/P Conlin/Hunt — to approve CASE No. OPC/97-28, the OP Development Concept Plan for The
Hamlet based on staffs recommendations of May 6, 1997, further stipulate that the developer work in good
faith to preserve more Ag land and to reduce impact on the northern neighbor with the roadway and
moving the location of the Twin home and placing a single family home next to the existing residence, that
there not be a developed picnic area along the shoreland to lessen the impact on the wildlife, and to include
the Planner's comments and the condition that the preliminary plat and plan shall be processed as a PUD as
provided in Section 400.13 of the City's platting/subdivision regulations. It is a requirement that the DNR
approve the Preliminary Plat. (Motion passed 4-1:Dunn: 1) Proposed development too dense for this
environmentally sensitive area; 2) Drainage concerns, clay soils, erosion sensitive bluffs; 3) Negative
impact on existing homes that are rural Lake Elmo; 4) Negative impact to wildlife, eagle nesting area; 5)
Question 41 separate wells in limited area; 6) Hydrological assessment needed to determine the water
flow —surface and subsurface; 7) Include in the record the letters from Joan Chavez, May 2,1997, and
Everett Beaubien, May 5, 1997).
Council member DeLapp commented that the he strives to put himself as close as he can in the position of
the affected residents and is not comfortable with putting hay over quality lots, they pay a lot of taxes, hay
is not a long term valuable thing in the Metropolitan area.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 6, 1997
E. Rezone from (RR) Rural Residential to (OP) Open Space Preservation District, TAMARACK
FARM
M/S/F DeLapp/Hunt — to adopt Ordinance No. 9704 (Motion failed 3-1:Conlin: there was no applicant
present and we didn't spend enough time as we had with the other applicants, Councilor Donn had stepped
out during the vote on this motion).
M/S/P Conlin/Hunt — to reopen the issue of the rezoning from RR to OP for Tamarack Farm. (Motion

M/S/P DeLapp/Hunt — to postpone discussion on the Concept Plan for Tamarack Farm until the applicant,
Jon Whitcomb can attend the Council meeting. (Motion passed 5-0).
G. Amendment to Section 400.09 Final Plat, Subd. 2 & 3
The Platting Section of the City Code, Section 400, has a requirement that final plats be approved by the
Planning Commission with recommendation to the City Council. The Open Space Ordinance requires that
the final plat be reviewed by the Council only —this is a conflict. Planner Terwedo explained in most
communities, final plats are reviewed and approved only by the Council since the final plat should reflect
the preliminary plat. If a final plat does not reflect the preliminary plat, it would need to be sent back to the
Planning Commission. The final plat is normally a formality. In the case of the OP developments, there
would be a throe -step process for review by the Planning Commission for any particular development.
M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp - to adopt Ordinance 9704, An Ordinance amending Section 400.09 Subdivision 2
and Deleting Section 400.09 Subdivision 3 of the Lake Elmo Municipal Code relating to Final Plats.
