(Motion carried 6-0-1, abstain: Thomas). 3. SITE & PLAN REVIEW: Lake Elmo Park Reserve Maintenance Building Jack Perkovich, Washington County Public Works Director. of Parks, presented the Site & Building Plan of a 7,000 s.f. maintenance building to be located in the Lake Elmo Park Reserve. Mr. Perkovich stated he has been working with City Building Official Jim McNamara in order to build to City Code and Ordinance. Access to the building will be from Hwy 5 through the farrn and available to County vehicles only. This building will be the central maintenance facility to serve all parks in Washington county. Lake Elmo Park Reserve is the County's number one park requiring the largest amount of maintenance (two-thirds of maintenance time is spent in Lake Elmo). Traffic should not increase dramatically. This building will be totally funded by user fees. M/S/P Conlin/Stevens - to recommend approval of this Site & Plan for the Lake Elmo Park Reserve Maintenance Building with the understanding the Planning Commission does not wish this building to set the architectural standard for the rest of Lake Elmo. (Motion carried 7-0 4. ARABIAN HILLS: (continuation) Rezoning from RR to RE and Preliminary Plat Approval. Roger Kolstad, developer of Arabian Hills, presented a revised preliminary plat map of Arabian Hills. "Outlot A" was eliminated. Mr. Kolstad pointed out in the convenants the requirement that the homeowner plant 26 trees total within 2 years after moving into the home, also across the back 50 feet of every lot a wild area is to be left with 300 seedlings to be planted within the first 3 years. Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes March 25, 1991 Page 2 The Commission suggested Mr. Kolstad define the size and type of tree in the covenants, the size suggested was 2" caliper. City Planner Black stated covenants are beyond our City ordinance and cannot be enforced by the City. Commissioner Enes suggested rebates or escrow as an incentive for homeowners to plant trees. Chairman John suggested changing the exit of 53rd Street onto Keats to swing around the west side of block 1, lot 1 and exit on the north side of the lot in order to avoid headlight traffic shining into Keith Raleigh's house on Keats Ave. This suggestion was rejected as it would create a dangerous exit onto Keats due to a hill, and it was not felt that Mr. Raleigh would suffer greatly. Regarding Park Land Dedication, Mr. Kolstad stated his interpretation of what the Park Commission currently wants is 6 continuous acres in the area, to satisfy the Park Dedication for the three plats: Arabian Hills, Fox Fire Manor, and Rolling Hills. Mr. Kolstad has tried to purchase land in the area that may be acceptable to the Park Commission, but found property owners in the area did not want to sell. Mr. Kolstad stated then the alternative would be for him to give up Lot 10, Block 2 as a park. Mr. Kolstad stated he would prefer to pay a park dedication fee, which he offered $700.00 per lot, but since the Park Commission insisted on 6 acres of land he will give up this lot. Mr. Kolstad stated this lot (10) is a very nice lot with many of trees. Commissioner Stevens stated he had talked with the Chair of the Parks Commission, Nancy Hansen, today and she indicated specifically the area which was most desirable. It was pointed out to Commissioner. Stevens the Parks Commission, at their regularly scheduled meeting, did not specifically state where the Commission wanted the 6 acre park, only that they requested 6 acres for the Park Land Dedication in a unanimous vote. Councilman Dick Johnson stated he also talked with Nancy Hansen, she suggested a site in the Rolling Hills proposed subdivision. One reason is there is a good site near a lake, and also, it is farther away from Kleis Park, giving some distance between the parks to serve more area. Councilman Johnson stated this is one individual's opinion on the park, not a recommendation from the Parks Commission as a whole. Mr. Kolstad stated taking 6 acres out of Rolling Hills would be tough, it would take two to three lots out. Chuck Nelson and Roger Kolstad accepted a few suggested changes to the covenants by the Planning Commission. M/S/P Thomas/Conlin - to recommend rezoning for the property to be known as "Arabian Hills" from RR to RE. (Motion carried 5-0-2, abstain: Schubert, Stevens). M/S/P Stevens/Conlin - to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat of "Arabian Hills" subject to the resolution of the park land dedication, and subject to the plat meeting all the recommendations listed 1-7 of City Planner Black's report dated March 8, 1991 (item #7 being amended to read "be required to satisfy park dedication ordinance"). (Motion carried 6-0-1, abstain: Schubert). Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes March 25, 1991 Page 3 M/S/P Johnston/Conlin - to recommend the City Council adopt the language and intent of the State Statute protecting existing farming operations as part of the City Code. (Motion carried 7-0). 4. FOX FIRE MANOR: (continuation) Public Hearing Rezoning to RE and Preliminary Plat Approval. Chairman John re -opened the public hearing at 9:25 p.m. All adjoining property owners were re -notified. Greg Frank, representing Pacesetter Properties, presented a revised preliminary plat addressing the recommendations by City Planner Black and City Engineer Prew. This Company will be working with Roger Kolstad on the Park Dedication, in this case there will be no land taken from this subdivision, but will meet the Park Dedication requirement jointly with Mr. Kolstad. Larry Liles, Pacesetter Properties, stated he feels under duress with the plan of 6 acres being forced on them. According to the City's Park Dedication Ordinance, Pacesetter Properties is only required to dedicate 1.8 acres for park land. Steve Korhel, 5540 Keats, stated the three proposed subdivisions surround his property and it's become important to him to have access to his back 20 acres from the west. He feels land locked. Chairman John asked Mr. Korhel how he gains access to his back property now? Mr. Korhel stated from the east. Robert Ziertman, 10193 60th Street, suggested Mr. Korhel get together with the developers and work with them. Morris Pederson, 9585 60th Street, stated this developments survey has placed a stake approximately 3 feet into his property. Larry Liles stated he will contact his surveyor and solve this properly with P9r. Pederson. Mr. Ruben Lauseng, 9591 60th Street, stated he also would like to be included in this survey discussion since his property boarders the other. The public hearing was closed at 9:45 p.m. by Chairman John. Commissioner. Stevens presented overhead projections of rainfall and peak discharge on this property before and after development. Mr. Frank addressed Commissioner Stevens questions. Commissioner Schubert asked how long this cul-de-sac would be temporary? The developer of Rolling Hills is planning on continuing this street out Keats, so it will not be temporary for long. Also, The Forest and Lake Elmo Heights are examples of cul-de-sacs that exceed 800 feet. Administrator Kueffner stated what's been done in the past is the Planning Commission can look at this cul-de-sac as a variance which the Planning Commission addresses, or as a temporary non -conforming cul-de-sac until Rolling Hills goes through. M/S/P Thomas/Enes - to table this application for two weeks. (Motion carried 7-0 Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes March 25, 1991 Page 4 5. 1989 AUDIT REPORT M/S/P Enes/Thomas - to table discussion of the 1989 Audit Report due to the absense of Ann Bucheck. (Motion carried 7-0). The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m. by Chairman John. REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW Meeting Date: April 8, 1991 AGENDA TOPIC: FOX FIRE MANOR (continuation) Rezoning to RE and Preliminary Pia.r. :Tam NO. 3. This rezoning application was postponed at your March 25, 1991 meeting so that you could discuss this among yourselves, after closing the public hearing. Rezoning: Please refer to your Comprehensive Plan. One requirement for a rezoning is that the property conforms to the City's Comprehensive Plan. This property does. Therefore, staff recommends that you recommend to the City Council rezoning of the subject property from Rural Residential (RR) to Residential Estates (RE). Preliminary Plat: This preliminary plat application was also tabled at your last meeting. I have enclosed some information regarding how the City has dealt with cul-de-sacs that exceed the 800' allowed by code, when the cul-de-sac is proposed to be temporary. You have also recently approved "The Forest", which has a cul-de-sac approximately 1377 feet lon, and this is permanent. I have again included the concept from "Rolling Bills", the next development that will extend this temporary cul-de-sac thru to Keats Ave. I have also attached the report from Barr Engineering, the Watershed's engineer. This recommendation will be acted on formally at VBWD's April loth meeting. If you need additional information, or have any questions, please feel free to call me.

The subject property is currently zoned R-R Rural Residential. The property is designated as RED Residential Estate Density on the City's Future Land Use Map., The proposed rezoning to Residential Estate would be in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. PRFLTMINARY PTJAT The subject property consists of rolling terrain with a topographical difference of approximately 80 feet across the land. The high elevation in the northwest of the site is 1036 and the low elevation is 952 in the south end of the site. The property is within the Valley Branch Watershed District and a permit from that agency will be required. The soils map for the property does show areas with moderate to severe limitations for on -site sewer systems. The lots in question - Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 and Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 2 - have been tested for percolation rates. On all lots a primary and secondary drainfield area of 20,000 square feet has been designated. The proposed 12 single family lots on the 40 gross acres does meet the density standards of the RE zone. The lots also meet the other performance standards of the RE zone. The subdivision plan calls for the extension of 55th Street North approximately 1800 feet north. The developer will be responsible for constructing the street between his property and the existing cul-de- sac. All final construction plans will be subject to approval by the City's Engineer. The proposed street section shown on Sheet 3 is consistent with City Policy.
