proposed for a paint spray booth on the westerly side of the building,
12' north of the SW corner. He proposes to put in a concrete loading
dock on the southerly edge of the property. This is a commercial
building on commercial property and set backs are adequate. Mr. Witzel
was informed to contact the Building Inspector for a building permit,
providing that he recognizes that he can not park delivery vehicles
on the street right-of-way while loading and/or unloading.

Todd Williams, 3025 Lake Elmo Avenue North, appeared for general
information and discussion on any proposed road improvements or
development in the east central portion of Lake Elmo, with specific
concern for expansion of 30th Street into a higher type of roadway.
He was informed that the PZC had no knowledge of plans to expand
30th Street into a higher type roadway.
PZC would appreciate any correspondence or information regarding
future development or expansion of the Lake Elmo Airport.
Recommendations for future land development
1. Further development of the land abutting any lake should
seriously consider the effect of length of sewerage time-
table and economics involved.
2. Guidelines for set backs for building structures and septic
systems as set forth in Shoreline Management Act should be
followed, paying particular attention to the definition of
the line being the natural ordinary high water as a measure-
ment index.
VILLAGE COUNCIL NOTE: It is recommended that the Village Council note
the PZC attendance at the past few meetings as listed in minutes. Due
to the summer months, we are having difficulty getting a quorum. It
is recommended that a ninth member be appointed to the PZC immediately
to alleviate -this problem.
Meeting adjourned at 10:50 p.m.
