Meeting Minutes
Monday, July 24, 2000
Chairman Armstrong called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of
City Hall, 3800 Laverne Avenue North, Lake Elmo, Minnesota. Present: Commissioners
Berg, Brass, Helwig, Ptacek, Sedro, and Taylor. Absent. Commissioners Herber, Mandel,
and Sessing. Also present: Planner Dillerud.
1. AGENDA
Add: 5.A Old Village Overlay District - discussion
M/S/P Helwig/Ptacek - to approve the agenda, as amended.
2. MINUTES
M/S/P - Helwig/Ptacek - to approve the Minutes from the June 26, 2000 meeting, as
presented.
3. MINOR SUBDIVISION - Dianne & Douglas Taylor/Kelly Schmidt
8586 Lake Jane Trail & Lot 2, Block 1, Waters Bay
Planner Dillerud reviewed the site history and existing conditions as three platted lots; Lot 1, Block
2, Lake Jane Manor No. 2 (Taylor), and, Lots 1 & 2, Block 1, Waters Bay (Schmidt). He explained
that during the City review of the Waters Bay Plat, the developer agreed to plant a landscape screen
along the south line of Lots 1 & 2, Block 1 (adjacent to the Taylor lot). He noted that later, a letter
from the Taylor's advised the City that they and Schmidt had agreed to an easement running from
Schmidt to Taylor over a portion of Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1, Waters Bay on which Taylor would
install the landscape screen. He explained that now, after the Waters Bay plat has been recorded, the
parties have decided to instead transfer fee title of the southerly 30 feet of Lot 1, Block 1, and a
corner of Lot 2, Block 1 Waters Bay to the Taylor's. He said all three existing platted lots meet or
exceed the dimensional standards of the R-1 zoning district, and that staff finds the application to
divide/consolidate platted property meets the documentation requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance, and the resulting parcels will comply with the standards of the R-1 zoning district.
M/S/P Ptacek/Berg - to recommend approval of Resolution No. 2000- , a Resolution
granting a Minor Subdivison to Kelly Schmidt & Resolution No. 2000-, a Resolution
granting a Lot Consolidation to Dianne & Douglas Taylor.
(Motion Passed 5-0-1). Abstain: Taylor
4. Tower Ordinance
Chairman Armstrong presented another draft Tower Ordinance, and explained that the City Council
was dissatisfied with the Planning Commission's previous efforts, one reason being it did not focus
exclusively on antenna towers. He explained the current draft ordinance was in response to the
City of Shoreview's tower ordinance, provided by the City Attorney Filla.

ordinance, and bring to the City Council at its August 1, 2000 meeting.
(Motion Passed 6-0-1). Abstain: Helwig
5.A Old Village Overlay District - Commissioner Berg
Commissioner Berg said he thought the creation of an Old Village overlay district was a "priority
item" for the Village Commission, and felt the Planning Commission has a strong sense of how to
draft enforceable codes, avoiding capricious and arbitrary language.
Planner Dillerud said the Village Commission has been charged with the difficult task of drafting
architectural standards, and will communicate the concerns of the Planning Commission to them at
its next meeting.
M/S/P Armstrong/Ptacek - direct staff to notify the City Council of the Planning
Commission's concerns, and willingness to assist the Village Commission in its efforts to
draft enforceable architectural standards and other related zoning standards, specifically
designed for the old village.
(Motion Passed 7-0).
Planner Dillerud reviewed for the Planning Commission, the City Council's comments on the Valley
Branch Watershed District's planned amendment.
Chairman Armstrong adjourned the meeting at 8:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted, Cynthia Young -Planning Secretary
