Resignation of Cindy Gackle from Village Commission, 13D. Human Rights Commission requests for funds, Move 80 to 8E. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to approve the July 20, 1999 City Council agenda, as amended. (Motion passed 5-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1999 2. MINUTES: July 6, 1999 M/S/P Armstrong/Siedow — to approve the July 6, 1999 City Council minutes, as amended. (Motion passed 5-0). 3. CLAIMS M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to approve the July 20, 1999 Claims, as presented. 4. PUBLIC INOUIRIESANFORMATIONAL: None 5. CONSENT AGENDA: 6. MAINTENANCE/PARK/FIRE/BUILDING: A. Data Process Plan —Public Works Planner Dillerud reported Dan Olinger, Maintenance Supervisor, has located a software package which focuses exclusively on public works operating functions at a quote of $1,500 to acquire all components of the Maintenance Management system. Hardware requirements are minimal, but hard drive space could become critical over time. One option available would be to move one of the Pentium I — 133 workstations now used in City Hall to Public Works, and replace it with a new Pentium II. With a HP Desk Jet printer and a new Office 97 software license, the total package would be about $2,000 — or $3,500 including the Qquest software. M/S/P Armstrong/DeLapp — to authorize hardware software package for the Public Works Dept., with direction as to the assignment of new hardware among City departments. (Motion passed 5-0). Council member DeLapp brought up the City should be aware that the price is going down for multimedia projectors. Mayor Hunt will look at loaners because we may be in a good position to purchase this year. 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Payment for 1999 Seal Coating Tom Prew reported the work is complete on the City's 1999 seal -coating project and recommended final payment to Allied Blacktop Company. M/S/P DeLapp/ Dunn —to approve the final payment to Allied Blacktop Company in the amount of $73,893.80 for the 1999 Seal Coating Project based on the recommendation of the City Engineer in his memo dated July 16, 1999. (Motion passed 5-0) 8. PLANNING. LAND USE & ZONING: A. Mogren Sod Farm — Rezoning RR to AG At its meeting of July 12, 1999, the Planning Commission, following a Public Hearing, unanimously adopted a recommendation to rezone a "Nominal 40" west of Manning Avenue and south of Oak -Land Jr. H.S. from the existing RR (Rural Residential) to AG (Agriculture). The recommendation is primarily based on a finding that the AG zoning would be as responsive to the RAD Land Use designation of the site as the current RR zoning. Mogren Sod Farm leases this property for operations base/equipment storage and sod production. The property owner (not Mogren) has co -applied for the rezoning, evidencing this concurrence with what amounts to a down zoning. The purpose for the rezoning application is to provide Mogren flexibility as to the number and area of accessory buildings on the old farmstead located on the property. Mogren intends to demolish several existing dilapidated accessory structures and construct a new equipment storage building of approximately 3,200 square feet. M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to adopt Ordinance No. 9749, rezoning 40 acres in Section 36 (west of Manning Avenue, 1,500 feet North of I-94) from RR (Rural Residential) to AG (Agriculture) for Mogren LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1999 Sod Farms based on the Planning Commission recommendation and positive comments of staff in July 12, 1999 staff report. (Motion passed 5-0), B. Amended OP Development Plan/CUP/Preliminary Plat— Tamarack Farm Estates At its July 12th meeting, the Planning Commission, following a Public Hearing, unanimously adopted a recommendation to approve several procedural actions that would result in converting a portion of the Tamarack OP from single family attached to single family detached. The applicant proposed to convert four of the eight SFA units to SFD units. A reconfiguration of the plat and permanent open space is required to accomplish the conversion. The CUP for SFA units must be amended to reduce the approved number from 8 to 4. The applicant has been working with the Minnesota Land Trust to accomplish the permanent easement "trades" required to adjust the plat as requested. No certification to the County of the new plat would be forthcoming from the City until new executed easements are presented. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow- to adopt Resolution No. 99-44, A resolution amending the OP Plan, SFA Conditional Use Permit and Plat of Tamarack OP to substitute four single family detached lots for four previously approved single family attached lots; and, to rearrange property lines related to the substitution contingent upon successful negotiations to accomplish the permanent easement request to adjust the plat as requested with the City or Minnesota Land Trust. (Motion passed 5-0):Armstrong: this is a step in the right direction, but still yields smaller lots.). C. MFC Properties — Minor Subdivision At its meeting of July 12, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted a recommendation to approve this Minor Subdivision of a parcel that has been physically divided for many years, as the result of the I-94 project. County records show an existing parcel of about 51 acres with a single tax number, of which 45 acres lies north of Hudson Road; and 6 acres which lies south of Hudson Road. The minor subdivision would authorize separate tax numbers for each parcel. City Planner Dillerud reported the issue raised was that of the size of the south parcel. While the current (and incorrect), RR zoning of the site would suggest a 10-acre minimum parcel size, the Comprehensive plan designates this site as Limited Business. This is one of the numerous inconsistencies between Comprehensive Plan Land Use and current zoning. The Commission concurs that a citywide comprehensive plan/zoning map conformance action be undertaken following completion of the Plan update. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to adopt Resolution No. 99-45, A Resolution approving the Minor Subdivision of PID 34-029-21-44-0002, as recommended by the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 5-0), D. Helmo Avenue Extension - Oakdale The Planning Commission unanimously adopted a recommendation that the Council take the necessary action to deny the use of an existing easement that runs parallel to the west line of Lake Elmo Heights 3" Addition as right-of-way for the extension of Helmo Avenue North to Stillwater Blvd, as proposed by the City of Oakdale based on the finding regarding the relationship of the proposed project to the existing physical characteristics of the land. The City during the approval of the Lake Elmo Heights plat in 1995 addressed this issue. An easement was established, but the Council directed the wording to preclude road construction without further Council action. Oakdale staff has advised that it is their intent to construct the Helmo extension in 1999. M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp —to direct the staff to respond to Oakdale regarding the proposed extension of Helmo Avenue along the Lake Elmo/Oakdale border and into Lake Elmo based upon the Planning Commission findings: 1. The result would indicate an increase in traffic volumes, 2. Disruption of an established stand of oak trees, 3. Concerns regarding existing stream and wetland on the easement, 4. The road extension doesn't meet the Comprehensive Plan, 5. Residents oppose the road extension based on safety issues, LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1999 pollution concerns and quality of life. (Motion passed 5-0) DeLapp: proper planning in 1986 when Diamond Ridge was platted would have averted this, and the City was not notified of plans). E. Site Plan to Move/Renovate Storage Buildings: Steve Johnson Steve Johnson, 2945 Lake Elmo Avenue, has requested that his proposal to relocate and renovate the old potato warehouses east of Lake Elmo Avenue be again considered. From earlier discussion of this proposal, there were several technical zoning issues involved before even considering his actual plans. The last action by the Council on this item was in August 1997, at which time the staff was directed to consider a "Railroad Utilities" zoning district. This was not completed. A village area -zoning district is recommended by the Village Commission, which would accommodate the historic Village mixed use not recognized by contemporary suburban type zoning ordinances. Planner Dillerud reported Mr. Johnson's plans have twice been reviewed and discussed by the Village Commission in the content of the plans/policies that have resulted from their work over the past two years. The Village Commission adopted general support for the basic proposal —move the structures, storage use of the structures; and construction of formal off-street parking adjacent to Lake Elmo Avenue, but would prefer the renovated structure more closely resemble the existing structures, regarding siding and doors to better reflect the desired character of the neighborhood. Steve Johnson asked what he could do in the meantime until the Village Commission came up with a new zoning ordinance. Johnson said he would comply with the request of the Village Commission for lap siding, instead of stucco, use architecturally raised panel doors, plant shrubbery and greenery around the building. He redesigned the trusses for more of an open-end 1900 look. He could and would be willing to provide a Farmer's Market. Johnson felt his proposal is within the mixed -use guidelines for downtown as submitted in drawings by Thorbeck Architects. The buildings would be used for his own personal needs and for his friends. Attorney Filla did explain this railroad parcel was conveyed out of a larger parcel without the consent of the City for a minor subdivision and should not have been recorded by Washington County. Filla referred to Section 300, Subd 2 addressing the issue of City zoning extending to the middle of the street; parts are zoned General Business, Industrial and Public Facility. Jim McLeod, 2543 Lake Elmo Avenue, former Planning Commission Chairman, stated the City was directed to draft a zoning ordinance for railroad property because property, other than the Johnson property, was also affected. The City has not done this so they should take some responsibility for delaying this proposal. This is a good project for the downtown. There is no request for City assistance, and he encourages the City to act on the proposal. Jerry Kromschroeder, 10823 32nd Street, whose wife owns Village Hair Care on Lake Elmo Avenue, stated the proposal would improve the appearance, and the Old Village would pick up needed parking spaces. The Council commented as follows: Siedow lives a block away from the proposed site and likes the proposal. Dunn had no problem with the concept, but voiced concerns on drainage from the blacktop and that storage is still an illegal use. Johnson responded the lot would be gravel. Lake Elmo Inn had planned on tearing down the abandon house for future parking on Lake Elmo Avenue. Armstrong found it problematic that there is no zoning on railroad property and would have liked to see such zoning. The proposal is good relief for parking, but didn't want the Lake Elmo Inn to think they can expand. DeLapp indicated the Village Commission made a recommendation on the information submitted to them, but did not discuss any of the technical zoning issues. Hunt appreciated Johnson attempting to go along with the spirit, relieving the parking problem. The City will see the need for ADA is addressed, increased marking for crosswalk on Lake Elmo Avenue and improved lighting for visibility. This City could address Steve Johnson's parcel separately. Administrator Kueffner asked the Council to give the staff time to finish the Comprehensive Plan to see if this concept fits into Plan, rather than use creative zoning to serve one individual parcel. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1999 M/S/P Siedow/Hunt — to direct the staff to proceed based on the Village Commission's recommendation that the City support the concept of relocation of the storage buildings to the east, and that Steve Johnson work with the Village Commission on design guidelines. In the future the City Planner and Attorney will address technical concerns, (Motion passed 4-1:DeLapp: Agreed with the City Administrator that time be given to finish the comp plan to see if this concept fits into the plan.). NOTE: Refer to August 17,1999 City Council minutes for discussion on the above motion. F. United Properties — Eagle Point Business Park PUD Plan Dale Glowa, United Properties, indicated that a PUD agreement is a long-term relationship with the City. United is developing a special work environment. He reviewed the definitions of office showroom that would not allow HDR. He said the definition is so restrictive that he doubted any business would come to Lake Elmo. Their market does not view any difference between R&D and office showroom. It's flexspace. The following discussion describes the general consensus of the City Council: Office Research and Office Showroom in a Combined Definition: Predominantly office oriented service with some backroom assemblage, ceiling height not to exceed 20' height to accommodate mezzanine, significant entry lobby. Require limiting the number of docks. The intent is not to shut off a professional office building that may have customers. The proposal was to allow Research & Development/Office Showroom as a permitted use recommended by the Planning Commission. Siedow: Permitted use. DeLapp: Permitted use because we will see it in the site plan. Anytime you address a mezzanine, you have to address parking and the number of bathrooms. Armstrong: Permitted use. Uses by appointment and require very few parking spaces. Dunn: Permitted use. The 20' ceiling height is needed for the pilot plant in HDR. Hunt: Permitted use. Council Consensus: Don't want warehousing, distribution or retail. Atriums and foyers are architectural elements. Questions if Real Estate is an office use or a retail operation. The City Planner will amend definitions based on Council discussion. Gasoline/Convenience Center: Dunn, DeLapp, Armstrong, Hunt: NOT permitted or conditioned —gas stations mainly serve the travelling public, typically 24 hour usage, high lighting, fair amount of traffic, site safety issues, and sign issues. This area is too valuable to squander on a truck stop/gas station. Hunt: For the convenience of Business Park tenants we do allow limited retail,... hi support of Business Park areas, defined as coffee shops, day care, business services; example Kinko Planner Dillerud: If a classic design came in for gasoline service, than what the City is concerned about could be addressed. A PUD agreement can be amended. Hotel/Restaurant: DeLapp: Code requires integrated planning and architecture. The designed hotel and restaurant are advertising in itself and not integrated in an overall Business Park. Need a limitation on a number of hotels and restaurants. If it is an integral part of the office development park and enhances the operations that are there and not serve the travelling public, this is what he would want through concept of a PUD. Dunn: No problem with hotel and restaurant separated. Siedow: No Motel 6, otherwise no problem with separated hotel and restaurant. Hunt: No problem with hotel and restaurant separated. No problem with a theme restaurant. Hotel should be compatible with the area. Armstrong: accept hotel and restaurant, separated, if architecturally compatible. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1999 G. United Properties —Higher Dimension Research Site Plan Planner Dillerud had not received the amended site plan. HDR will present the site plan to the City Planner for concurrence and then forward to City Council for informational purposes. 9. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: A. Resolution Upholding Appeal by Rod Sessing, 5699 Keats Avenue Attorney Filla prepared a finding of fact resolution to uphold the appeal by Rod Sessing allowing field stone as an element of landscaping along his driveway to help control erosion. M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to adopt Resolution No. 99-37, A Resolution Relating to an Appeal from an Administrative Decision, as amended. (Finding of Fact: 5. In the past, the City of Lake Elmo has not interpreted the provisions of Chapter 1365 or the definition of landscaping to prevent the exclusive use of field stone and decorative rock. 6. Field stone and/or decorative rock has been used as a subsidiary component of landscaping in the City of Lake Elmo.) (Motion passed 5-0). 10.

Personnel Policy M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn —to adopt the proposed 1999 Personnel Policy. (Motion passed 5-0). B. New Election Equipment The Washington County Board approved 100% of the funding for the purchase of new election equipment form Global Systems by July 30, 1999 and will be funding all hardware and software costs with no charge to the Municipality. The County will be housing the new election equipment, but the municipality will be storing a ballot box for each precinct. M/S/P Armstrong/Dunn — to approve the agreement between the City and Washington County to transfer ownership of the two existing OPTECH 3-P election equipment and ballot boxes to use for trade in on new election equipment and authorize the City Administrator to sign this agreement.

Human Rights Commission Request for Funds Administrator Kueffner attended the Human Rights Commission meeting where it asked for funds in the amount of $1,500 for bookmarkers with printed logo and mission statement. This information will be LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1999 7 Signa¢e: Planner Dillerud made the Council aware that what appeared on the master sign plan is not necessarily the way the signs will appear in coloration. Dale Glowa: It is the intent of the developer to have franchise type signs. Project signs could be used to introduce corporate colors and logo. Every tenant has to comply with the shape and size of signs. Signs must be visible. Each company shows their colors. There are no neon lights. Black by day and white at night. Armstrong, DeLapp: NO pylon signs permitted. Dunn, Sideow: Permit pylon sign. Dunn: Hopefully the pylon sign does not have to be used. Height only for limited uses, colors. DeLapp: Concern on residents seeing signs from Inwood Avenue. Hunt: Favors pylon signs, integrally designed. May have corporate logo. Shoreland Regulations: Dunn: Concern with the DNR protected creek running through property. Planner Dillerud: The main creek corridor is DNR protected. It is listed as a tributary stream in our zoning code in shoreland regulations. Shoreland standards apply within 300'. Impervious surface coverage is reduced form 75% to 35% on those sites that back up to the creek. Developer has to get a DNR permit to alter the wetland. Developer has to design site to accommodate state -mandated legislation and carrot vary them through the PUD Ordinance. Traffic Signals on Hudson Blvd/Inwood Avenue: Planner Dillerud explained the signal lights on a county road are paid half by the City and half by the County. The developer will pick up the cost of the City's share. At Hudson Road and Inwood Avenue, Washington County pays one-half, Oakdale one -quarter, and Lake Elmo one -quarter. Our one -quarter will be paid by United. Dillerud will find out cost when he attends the meeting with MnDOT. Cul-de-sac: George Burkards, United Properties, stated that they would put a cul-de-sac on the preliminary plat with the understanding that if they have a user for the entire site, there is no need for a cul-de-sac. Planner Dillerud indicated it is the City's clear intent limit access points to Hudson Blvd. Parks Commission Recommendation: Planner Dillerud reported the Commission recommended no dedication for Stonegate Park to come out of this project. The trail system shows the community trail going through this park and back east. The Commission recommends the development plan show public trails to extend in some fashion over to the East. The corridor of easements will be considered park dedication and constructions of trail will come off park dedication fees -in -lieu. M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to approve the recommendation of the Parks Commission for an 8' paved City trail to come off park dedication fees -in -lieu. (Motion passed 5-0). Street Design: Tom Prow pointed out that resolution of street designs needs to be addressed between now and final plat. This loop street is included on the State Aid System. M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to modify Condition No. 3 The public street extending southerly from Hudson Road shall be added to the Preliminary Plat in Resolution No. 99-46. (Motion passed 5-0). M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to adopt Resolution No. 99-46, A Resolution approving a Planned Unit Development Stage Plan and Preliminary Plat for Eagle Point Business Park, as amended, incorporating development standards of July 15, 1999 as modified and amended definitions by City Planner.
