PRESENT: Lundquist, Williams, Johnson, Sovereign and Armstrong WASHINGTON Armin Buetow, Mike Finnemann and Dick Stockstead CENTRAL presented information concerning their plans for PLAZA development of the approximately 800 acres owned by their group near the Highway 12 and County Road 15 crossing. The group is ready to develop the area as soon as a determination is made as to which route 94 will follow. They will be appearing before the I-94 Study Commission on February 13th. The PZC was asked to pressure for the proposed sewer intercept line which would go through their property. The possibility of using the excess capacity at Cimmeron was discussed. The group plans to build an office building, small shopping plaza similar to the one in Woodbury just off 494, a motel and a restaurant. The plans shown to the PZC showed that only the motel would be in Lake Elmo. The group stated that they hoped to begin construction within a year if the I-94 and sewer problems were resolved. SHAFER Bob Rudy presented the new revised gravel mining limits proposed by his company at the Richert pit. He indicated that he had consulted with the City Engineer and with a private home developer in laying out these plans. The slope would be better than that approved under the old permit. He would use the haul road to 212, but indicated that there may be times when the northern route to Jamaca was used. He has exclusive right with Richert. The material there is high grade for Shafer's intended use and the site will be suitable for home building if the limites proposed are accepted. He indicated that there was a stockpile of black dirt being kept at the pit for covering over when they finish. He promised that none of this dirt would be removed from the pit. The limits of mining are now sufficiently far back enough from the property line on the south. MOTION: by Armstrong that the PZC recommend approval of the permit with the new limits on mining with the qualific- ation that only the access route south to 212 be used; permitee would only be allowed to use the northern access route to Jamaca if it became legally impossible to use the south route because of change in ownership or other reason. Shafer would have to give the Mayor two weeks notice before using this northern route. SECOND: Williams MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 1975 PAGE 2 VOTE: Motion carried all in favor. Rudy said he desired to have the time limit for mining go year around and not have the November 1st cutoff. The mining will not be below ground water level. Water has been found at 922, the sewer will go through at 910 and the limit of mining is 928. PUBLIC Chairman Lundquist informed the PZC that the input INPUT meeting will be held February 5th instead of January 30th. There will be a mail out to all residents. OAKDALE The Oakdale Planning Commission proposed a joint meeting on either February 10 or 20. The meeting will be set for February 20.
