JERRY BELL
SEWERS
Jerry Bell of the Metro Council discussed various Lake Elmo
problems and the solutions with the PZC. As to sewers, he stated
that there is no plan to sewer the Washington Central Plaza area
until some time after 1980. Possible solution for the developers
might be the Cimarron plant. The School District has already
approached Cimarron with their sewer needs. There will be a
public hearing on April 30th concerning the Sewer Development
Framework. Bell stated that there is a plan now for an interceptor
other than WONE to service the North West area of Lake Elmo.
He was not certain that this would be brought out at the April
hearing. The Waste Control Commission feels that the WONE should
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MARCH 24, 1975
be used to capacity before another interceptor is built to the
east of NONE. Bob Davis of the Physical Development section
had recently discussed the sewer situation with Bell.
NORTH SOUTH Bell studied the various maps of the County Road 80 and 19
ROAD areas of Lake Elmo and indicated that he would indicate the
problems to the road planning expert of the Meto Staff and
that he was sure this man would come to the April 28th PZC
meeting to discuss the possibilities for the North -South Road.
LOT SIZE Bell also discussed lot sizes and stated that he feels there
should be a five acre minimum where no sewer is provided. He
is not certain what restrictions the PCC will come out with.
There should be at least 10-20 acre limits in Agriculture
PUD Preserves. Bell has had a great deal of experience with PUD
and will send the PZC a copy of the checklist he has worked
out.
LOWELL RISKS Mr. Rieks, 4564 Kimbro Avenue N., 777-0921, presented his plans
for a 28 X 40 Barn to be built on his 35.24 Acres in the SW 1/4
of Section 11. It will have a 20-22 foot peak. The area is
zoned SFU, but the agricultural use is a pre-existing one.
The PZC members felt that the use was a good one and should be
allowed, but there was uncertainty as to the best method to
reach this goal. Building a barn in a SFU would require some
action.
MOTION by Grace
That Armstrong contact the City Attorney and discuss with him
the three possible methods of handling this situation.
1. Rezone the area
2. Have Rieks obtain a Special use permit.
3. Change the ordinance to allow an agricultural use in all
residential districts.
SECOND by Novak
VOTE All in favor
JOINT Grace reported that the meeting set for March 31st had been cancelled
COMMITTEE in light of the proposed letter to 3M from Licht. This letter
WITH OAKDALE would ask 3M to have their paid expert put together a PUD ordinance
to be used by Oakdale and Lake Elmo. Questions were raised as
to how this would appear and whether a one sided job would be
done. Licht stated to the Committee that 3M has a consultant
who is an expert on PUD ordinances. Would this ordinance also
be made applicable to Daytons PUD or would it have an industrial
outlook?
MOTION by Lundquist That the proposed letter be rejected and that
the PUD ordinance be done by Lake Elmo and worked out by the
committee as to Oakdale.
SECOND by Novak
VOTE Motion carried 5-1, Grace voted against.
MOTION by Armstrong that Mr. Licht be requested to:
1. Outline those areas where the present PUD ordinance is not
adequate.
2. Present to the PZC ordinances from other communities covering
PUDs which are considered more adequate by Licht.
SECOND by Novak
VOTE All in favor.
