of Planning - Midwest Planning, Councilpersons Lyon and

8142 Hidden Bay Trail - Submission of new proposal for
subdivision of Lot 6 Block 1 Oace 4th Addition.
The Cacao' renewed plan is to divide Lot 6 into four
parcels: Tract A - registered to Mr. Kenneth. Larson
Tract B - Oace home 1+ acre
Tract 0-1 -.92 acre
Tract 0-2 -.92 acre
Outlot
The plans show a road along the western border of the
property.
Questions: Tract C-1 and 0-2 are substandard in size and
need a variance. If lot lines of C-1 and 0-2 are extended
to include part of outlbt, would each meet one (1) acre
standard? Mr. Oace said this was questionable but they
would rather ask for variance than extend lot lines.
(4)
1+ acre
Ken Sovereign (adjoining property owner to the west),
stated he is generally in agreement to the road if the rest
of the plat was considered good planning, and if the road
would. not adversely affect future subdivision of his property.
He will investigate this as soon as possible, and requests
that the PZO take no action until he can determine if the
road is suitable to future planning of his property.
The Daces' will return next meeting.
Valley Branch Watershed District: Discussion
Should the PZC depend on this body (VBWD) for professional
opinions regarding passing recommendations? PZC requests
from the City Council, in writing, their position on the
VBWD concerning the VBWD review of plats. PZC also
recommends that the City inform VBWD that its review must
be taken in a limited number of days ( to be determined by
the City Council), or the City will take action without
VBWD recommendation.
Don Raleigh: 3074 Laverne Ct. No..- Variance requested for minor sub-
division.
Bruce Folz represented Mr. Raleigh and stated a minor
subdivision approval was needed to create one .single-
family residential lot, facing Laverne Ct. No.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OCTOBER 12, 1976
Don Raleigh (con.t'd): This piece will be six -tenths (6/10) of an acre
with 130 ft. frontage and conveyance by metes and bounds of
approximately one -tenth (1/10) acre to be added to Lot 4,
Meiers Park Third Addition. This conveyance is to increase
Lot 4, wbich is where Mr. Raleighs' home is built.
Questions by the PZC regarding the lot size, drainage
problems and extending a cul-de-sac were discussed.
Dave Licht stated that the City has set precedence of
granting variances of this size in the "old village area".
The new lot has a low area and a possible drainage problem.
A report has been requested of the engineer, regarding the
drainage and street questions. The PZO will consider the
proposal at the next meeting.
Parks: Councilman Shervheim informed the PZC as follows:
1). The DNB has not determined the placement of a
public access for Lake DeMontreville. A public
access is a requirement in order to have a rearing
pond in the DeMontreville Highlands area. Access
size has not been decided. The City of Lake Elmo
has discussed if the access should be from the
Village Park area.
2). Washington County and Lake Elmo will be doing an
Economic Impact Study regarding aquisition of the
Mears' property to the Metro Park. It is questionable
if this property is necessary to the Metro Park,and
if it would adversely affect the Lake Elmo tax base.
If the Mears property is bought and the Washington
County and Lake Elmo EIS shows that it is not
necessary to the Metro Park, the property could be
sold to Lake Elmo or be open to public auction at a
time which the City is agreeable to.
POD Zoning Ordinance Revision: Due to lack of a quorum the PZC will
plan to take action at the next meeting.
Aduournment 9:03 pm
