[2:10]

[2:12]
scheduled meeting.
[2:15]
>> Okay. Mark your calendars. show up and
[2:17]

[2:21]
move on to our public hearings. We have
[2:23]
three of them tonight. If you would like
[2:24]
to speak, you can sign up at the back.
[2:27]
Although it doesn't appear that there
[2:28]
will be a mad brush. So, you can just
[2:30]
come up to the table when it's your turn
[2:32]
when you're ready. Um,
[2:35]
first item is uh agenda item 5A, public
[2:38]
hearing to consider the application of
[2:40]
Gabriel Hoffening on behalf of
[2:43]
Christopher and Jennifer Blackburn for a
[2:45]
conditional use permit for an accessory
[2:48]
structure to exceed 15 feet in height in
[2:51]
the RS3 single family residential
[2:53]
district. And we have Mr. Huff running
[2:56]
here uh to introduce the project. if you
[2:59]
could come forward that would be great
[3:00]
and introduce yourself and your uh
[3:04]
helper.
[3:05]
>> Yes. My name is Gabe with Offering
[3:07]
Construction. Uh this is my client uh
[3:09]
Chris Blackburn.
[3:10]
>> Excellent.
[3:10]
>> Um so we're just asking for height
[3:12]
variance uh for basketball court, not
[3:15]
commercial use, just strictly
[3:16]
residential. Um we're going to be going
[3:18]
to 20 ft instead of you know the typical
[3:21]
15 uh just for the directory of the
[3:23]
basketball. That's why we're asking for
[3:25]
that. um matching the exterior
[3:27]
conditions of the current house just to
[3:29]
make sure that uh you know everything
[3:30]
stays cohesive in the neighborhood. Um I
[3:33]
think you know they have you know young
[3:35]
kids that would be using it neighborhood
[3:37]
kids. Um but like I said no commercial
[3:39]
use just making sure that everybody can
[3:41]
kind of have a family basketball court
[3:42]
in the in their house.
[3:44]
>> Excellent.
[3:45]
>> Yes ma'am.
[3:46]
>> Thank you so much. We'll have staff
[3:47]
present and then if we have questions
[3:49]
we'll call you back up. Yes ma'am.
[3:50]
>> Thank you
[3:52]
Miss Barton.
[3:57]
Good evening, chair, commission members.
[4:03]
This request
[4:05]
is located along 170th Street. Can you
[4:08]
hear me? Okay,
[4:09]
>> I could hear Mr. Huffing. I can't hear
[4:11]
you very well.
[4:14]
>> Feel like it's echoey, but the property
[4:17]
is about 47 acres in size. It is zoned
[4:21]
RS3 in a developed neighborhood. There
[4:24]
are other RS3 single family zone lots
[4:27]
around this property and then about one
[4:30]
lot over to the west there zone RM1
[4:33]
which is our medium density residential
[4:35]
district.
[4:37]
So the applicant is proposing a 150
[4:40]
square foot accessory building. As I
[4:43]
mentioned that would be 20 feet in
[4:45]
height. It would be located in the
[4:46]
northwest corner of the property. So the
[4:49]
maximum height allowed without a
[4:52]
conditional use permit in the RS3
[4:53]
district is 15 feet. So as they
[4:56]
mentioned, the additional height is
[4:58]
being requested to accommodate a sport
[5:00]
court. Um and the building would not be
[5:02]
able to be used for a home occupation or
[5:05]
storage of a commercial vehicles or
[5:07]
equipment. So the property currently has
[5:10]
a single family house located on located
[5:12]
on it towards the front of the property
[5:14]
with a twocar garage. There are no other
[5:17]
detached structures currently on the
[5:18]
property. Uh the proposed building would
[5:21]
comply with the maximum size allowances
[5:24]
that are allowed for accessory buildings
[5:26]
and they would meet the minimum required
[5:28]
setbacks uh in the RS3 district. So, a
[5:32]
driveway is not permitted or not
[5:35]
required, I'm sorry, it's not required
[5:36]
to go to the structure at this time, but
[5:39]
in the future, if the design of the
[5:42]
building would change and if there was
[5:44]
an an opening that was installed 8 feet
[5:47]
or greater, then a driveway would be
[5:50]
required, but at this time, it's not
[5:51]
required because of the design of the
[5:53]
building.
[5:56]
So staff is recommending approval of the
[5:58]
conditional use permit with the five
[6:00]
stipulations that were listed in your
[6:01]
staff report and the findings of fact
[6:04]
that were emailed to you as well and
[6:06]
this is expected to go to the October
[6:08]
19th city council meeting. Uh we have
[6:11]
not heard from any of the surrounding
[6:13]
property owners and I stand for
[6:15]
questions. Thank you.
[6:17]
>> Thank you very much.
[6:19]
This is a public hearing and we'll take
[6:22]
anyone who would like to speak or
[6:24]
address this issue free to come forward.
[6:29]
And if we don't have anyone then I'm
[6:31]
ready to entertain.
[6:38]
» Second.
[6:40]
>> There's a motion and a second. All those
[6:41]
in favor signify by saying I.
[6:43]
>> I.
[6:45]
Sorry. Motion prevails. the public
[6:48]
hearing. [snorts]
[6:50]
[clears throat] Uh and uh now we're open
[6:52]
for questions from commissioners to the
[6:55]
uh staff or to the applicant.
[7:00]
>> Madam Chair,
[7:01]
>> Commissioner Travis.
[7:02]
>> Um question for Mr. Blackburn. Um
[7:08]
» when I um drove by the the property,
[7:12]
>> yes,
[7:12]
>> uh I was I was really unable to see the
[7:14]
backyard. So uh so that's why But, uh,
[7:18]
you know, 20 ft big building or high
[7:21]
building. Uh, are the neighbors
[7:23]
prepared? Have you like prepared the
[7:25]
neighbors, told them you were going to
[7:27]
get this, uh, get this going?
[7:29]
>> I' I've lived in the house for 18 years.
[7:30]
So, I regularly talk to my neighbors,
[7:32]
see my neighbors, uh, spend time with my
[7:34]
neighbors, and so they've been well
[7:36]
aware, even before the construction
[7:38]
started that this was going to happen to
[7:40]
bring more space to our house. Uh,
[7:42]
unfortunately, I only have a two-car
[7:44]
garage, and about 80% of my neighbors
[7:46]
have a three-car garage. Uh, and they
[7:48]
probably don't have as many kids as I
[7:49]
do. So, uh, in terms of space, this is a
[7:51]
much needed space, not only for our kids
[7:53]
to congregate, but as for also to, uh,
[7:56]
have a little bit of extra breathing
[7:57]
room inside of our property as well.
[7:59]
>> Sounds good. Thank you.
[8:00]
>> Thank you.
[8:02]
>> We probably can't ask this question, but
[8:04]
are you fielding a full team? Are we
[8:05]
going to have like a championship team
[8:07]
here in Lakeville in a few years? You
[8:09]
never know what uh kids growing up in
[8:11]
Lakevilles and 194 196 school districts
[8:14]
could come through and actually play in
[8:15]
that building at some point uh go into
[8:17]
the college or NBA. So
[8:20]
>> maybe the Olympics
[8:21]
>> or the Olympics. Hey, that's even more
[8:23]
attainable goal.
[8:26]
>> All right. Do we have any other
[8:27]
questions?
[8:29]
>> Thank you so much.
[8:30]
>> Thank you. I
[8:31]
>> think we're ready for a motion then.
[8:34]
Madam Chair,
[8:35]
>> Commissioner Swansson
[8:36]
>> move to recommend a city council
[8:38]
approval of the conditional use permit
[8:39]
to allow a detached accessory structure
[8:41]
to exceed 15 feet in height within the
[8:43]
RS3 district and adoption of the
[8:45]
findings of fact subject to the five
[8:47]
stipulations noted in the planning
[8:49]
report dated September 24, 2026.
[8:52]
>> Second.
[8:53]
>> We have a motion and a second. Miss
[8:55]
Eric, we please call the role.
[8:57]
>> Travis,
[8:58]
>> IA,
[8:59]
>> I. Zimmer
[9:01]
>> I
[9:04]
» Tinsley
[9:05]
>> I
[9:07]
>> motion prevails and I believe Miss Bton
[9:10]
said that this will be going to city
[9:11]
council on October 19th.
[9:14]
>> Thank you so much. Good luck with the
[9:16]
project.
[9:18]
Uh the second hearing is agenda item 5B.
[9:22]
public hearing to consider the
[9:23]
application of Twin Cities land
[9:26]
development for a conditional use permit
[9:28]
for a private recreation building in the
[9:31]
RST2 single and two family residential
[9:34]
district. Mr. Schmidt uh with Twin
[9:37]
Cities Land Development is here to
[9:39]
introduce the project or maybe not. Yes,
[9:42]
he is. Oh, excellent. Didn't see you
[9:44]
back there.
[9:46]
>> I was hiding. Uh yeah, Benchmouth Twin
[9:48]
Cities Land Development. Appreciate the
[9:49]
opportunity to speak. Not a lot to say.
[9:51]
We um these little pool houses have
[9:53]
gotten very popular. Um I'm not
[9:55]
necessarily a fan all the time, but
[9:57]
they've gotten very popular. So, we're
[9:59]
kind of putting one in after the fact in
[10:01]
this case as uh number of the residents
[10:03]
or potential residents have expressed a
[10:05]
desire for it. So, pretty simple pool
[10:07]
house in terms of the house itself is
[10:09]
just uh bathrooms and room for pool
[10:11]
equipment, a little outdoor pavilion,
[10:13]
and then uh a pool kind of all
[10:16]
residential in nature in terms of how it
[10:18]
feels. Not not very commercial. fits
[10:20]
into the neighborhood. Um hopefully not
[10:21]
super controversial.
[10:23]
>> Thank you so much.
[10:24]
>> Thank you.
[10:28]
» Miss Jensen's coming forward to talk
[10:30]
about this project.
[10:34]
» Good evening, chair and commissioners.
[10:36]
Uh yes, this is a public hearing for an
[10:39]
amenity building which is a conditional
[10:41]
use permit.
[10:43]
Uh it is located west of Kakook Avenue
[10:46]
at the southwest corner of Kirkovven Way
[10:49]
and Kettle Pass. It is an area of
[10:51]
detached town homes that are currently
[10:54]
under construction. As you can see here,
[10:57]
it is zoned RST2 and all those little
[11:00]
boxes are future detached town home
[11:02]
lots. So there, this area was slated for
[11:05]
a detached town home. Uh but in this
[11:08]
case, that unit and the surrounding area
[11:10]
will be owned by the HOA. um for
[11:13]
maintenance. If at some point in the
[11:15]
future uh decision is made that they
[11:18]
didn't want to have this pool and
[11:20]
facility anymore, they could remove
[11:21]
that. Then it would have a buildable
[11:23]
area for another unit there.
[11:26]
Um so here is a site plan. I can get
[11:30]
again Kirkovven Way and Kettle Pass. Um
[11:35]
just very simple pool area here
[11:37]
surrounded by a six foot tall fence is
[11:40]
shown here. It's a six-foot black
[11:42]
aluminum fence. Uh sidewalk connection
[11:45]
up to a a small pavilion area. Uh and
[11:49]
the building, as Mr. Schmidt noted,
[11:51]
there are three bathrooms and some
[11:53]
storage area for pooling equipment. So,
[11:56]
there is no gathering space within the
[11:58]
building. It's about the size of a
[12:00]
smaller twocar garage. Um access then is
[12:05]
from the pavilion here.
[12:08]
Um, and then this is a future home lot
[12:13]
here. Uh, it does, uh, exceed the the
[12:16]
location here with the and this is not a
[12:18]
home that's yet been constructed. So,
[12:21]
um, the one requirement, one of our
[12:23]
stipulations is that the distance from
[12:26]
the the pool building here to whatever
[12:28]
future home is has to be at least 28
[12:30]
feet to ensure that um, this building is
[12:34]
in compliance with the sideyard setback
[12:36]
requirements. So, Um, but I measured on
[12:39]
a couple of different um, plans where
[12:43]
they showed potential layouts and they
[12:45]
were in the 30 to 31 ft. So, I I don't
[12:47]
think it's um going to be an issue, but
[12:50]
it is something we would check during
[12:51]
the building permit review process.
[12:54]
Uh, here is the landscape plan for it.
[12:57]
Again, the buildings down here and the
[12:59]
pool. Uh, the the site is surrounded um
[13:03]
variety of of plantings. the Taylor
[13:06]
Juniper North Pole arborite and the blue
[13:09]
muffin arrowwood viburnum
[13:11]
uh are the primary perimeter plants. Uh
[13:14]
the city forester has reviewed this
[13:16]
plan. The one uh modification he's
[13:19]
requested and Mr. Schmidt has indicated
[13:21]
that they are would make the changes.
[13:24]
There's a Black Hills spruce in this
[13:26]
location and due to the the corner here
[13:29]
and potential driveway for this unit, um
[13:31]
that would be swapped out to an
[13:33]
overstory tree so that there's not a
[13:35]
sight visibility issue for either the
[13:38]
driveway or that intersection.
[13:41]
Um the exterior materials is a white
[13:43]
board and batten siding with black uh
[13:46]
doors, windows, and trim consistent with
[13:48]
the types of materials we do see uh
[13:50]
within the neighborhood.
[13:53]
So staff does recommend approval of the
[13:56]
cup uh subject to the two stipulations
[13:59]
within the staff report and adoption of
[14:01]
the findings of fact. And I'll stand for
[14:04]
any questions you may have.
[14:06]
>> Thank you so much.
[14:10]
This is a public hearing and we would
[14:12]
have anybody that wanted to speak to
[14:14]
come on forward and just identify
[14:16]
yourself. Give us your address.
[14:20]
Feel free.
[14:22]
Hello, I'm Teresa Stokes. I live Kitty
[14:25]
Corner from that proposed pool. Nice to
[14:28]
meet you. Is it Mr. Schmidt?
[14:30]
>> Okay, so I can't tell how big is that
[14:33]
pool, how deep is that pool? Will the
[14:36]
fence have a lock that only residents
[14:38]
will have access for?
[14:41]
>> Staff will try to take down all the
[14:42]
questions. So, if you can just speak
[14:44]
into the microphone, you said, "How big
[14:46]
is the pool? How deep is the pool?" What
[14:48]
was your third question? Will there be a
[14:49]
lock on the door that only residents
[14:50]
will have for access to that pool?
[14:55]
Plan timing. When will it go in? Uh when
[14:58]
will it will be available for use? And
[15:01]
then of course it's an HOA. So what are
[15:03]
the proposed costs for HOA? I was told
[15:06]
as a homeowner that we because we're
[15:07]
existing uh that we would have the
[15:09]
option to opt out. I will say I think
[15:12]
there's quite a few of us existing
[15:13]
homeowners that will opt out.
[15:16]
Um, but I'd like to we would like a say
[15:19]
on what the proposed cost would be on
[15:20]
the HOA uptick and how we would be
[15:24]
insulated from future needs to support
[15:27]
that structure if we didn't want to
[15:28]
participate in its maintenance.
[15:31]
Is it a freshwater pool, saltwater pool?
[15:35]
Um, times of use. When will it be open?
[15:38]
When will it be closed? And then the
[15:40]
maintenance. Pools require daily
[15:42]
chemical checks. So, who's doing that
[15:44]
and what's What does that look like?
[15:49]
>> I'll leave my questions there.
[15:51]
>> Excellent. Thank you so much, Miss
[15:52]
Stokes. And we'll be sure to have staff
[15:55]
and or Mr. Schmidt address those.
[15:59]
>> I don't know if I see others rushing to
[16:01]
the podium.
[16:03]
>> Madam Chair, seeing no one else come
[16:05]
forward, I move to close the public
[16:06]
hearing.
[16:07]
>> Second. Okay,
[16:09]
>> we have a motion and a second. All those
[16:11]
in favor of closing the public hearing,
[16:13]
please say I. I
[16:16]
>> public hearing is now closed and um
[16:19]
perhaps Mr. Schmidt you could address
[16:21]
some of those questions and we can have
[16:23]
staff answer as well.
[16:25]
>> Yeah, for sure. Uh apologize
[16:28]
kind of working with the builder out
[16:30]
there. So apologize you didn't get the
[16:31]
information directly from them. But
[16:33]
yeah, in terms of one of the things I
[16:34]
think is super important is we do have
[16:36]
unlike a situation where be bringing a
[16:38]
pool house in before anyone who lives
[16:39]
out there. We've got people who live out
[16:40]
there already. they absolutely love the
[16:42]
right to either opt in or out. So,
[16:44]
people already live there get to make
[16:45]
that decision. Uh if they don't want to
[16:46]
be a part of it, then they're truly not
[16:48]
a part of it and um those costs aren't
[16:51]
passed along to them. They're just not
[16:52]
part of that portion of the HOA, if you
[16:54]
will. Um so, it'll be ultimately up to
[16:56]
them and all that information will be
[16:58]
provided. We don't have all of it yet.
[16:59]
We get through this step and then all
[17:01]
that information will be provided for
[17:02]
existing residents. Here's what it is.
[17:04]
Here's what a cost optin. Here's what
[17:05]
your cost will be u monthly. In terms of
[17:09]
the pool itself, it will only be for
[17:11]
residents of this neighborhood,
[17:13]
including, you know, excluding those who
[17:14]
opt out. But so, anyone who's a resident
[17:16]
of the neighborhood who opts in, that's
[17:18]
who's allowed there. Otherwise, yes,
[17:19]
it'll be fenced and locked and only
[17:21]
accessible by people who are part of the
[17:23]
pool HOA. Um, and again, in terms of
[17:26]
like the cost, that'll all get worked
[17:27]
out and will be passed along to
[17:28]
residents uh to make that choice to opt
[17:30]
in or out. Uh, normal, what I'd call
[17:33]
kind of normal pool hours, right? It'll
[17:34]
be open during the day, closed in the
[17:36]
evenings. Um obviously once it gets to
[17:39]
be fall time closed again. Um pool
[17:41]
maintenance we've got when we've done
[17:43]
this in other neighborhoods we hire a
[17:44]
service that they take care of
[17:45]
everything relative to the pool. So they
[17:47]
come there daily do the pool tests need
[17:49]
to be done clean the bathrooms do
[17:50]
everything that needs to be done handled
[17:52]
by a service that does just that
[17:53]
specifically for these types of pools um
[17:56]
in a number of neighborhoods. Uh depth
[17:58]
of the pool. It's not a big diving board
[18:01]
pool. It's a little more of a waiting
[18:03]
pool. So, I'd say we go from three feet
[18:05]
to five or six feet on the other end.
[18:07]
Um, I feel like I kind of covered
[18:10]
everything. If not,
[18:12]
>> fresh or saltwater pool?
[18:14]
>> Salt water. So, well, I'll say normal
[18:17]
pool. I don't know if I I'll be the
[18:19]
first to admit I'm not a pool guy. So,
[18:21]
>> regular water from your kitchen faucet.
[18:23]
>> Yeah. That then has some chemicals in
[18:25]
it, chlorine in it, whatever it's
[18:26]
supposed to be. I'm not a pool guy, so
[18:29]
I'd call it a normal backyard pool.
[18:34]
Great. I
[18:34]
>> think I covered everything. Happy to
[18:36]
stand for any of the questions, but I'll
[18:37]
sit down otherwise. Thank you.
[18:39]
>> You miss Jensen. I think we covered
[18:42]
those all the questions. Okay. So,
[18:45]
>> Madam Chair, got a question. Um,
[18:50]
this was a conditional use permit for
[18:53]
the recreation building. I don't think
[18:57]
it I don't read anything that it says
[18:59]
the pool.
[19:01]
Are we approving a pool or approving
[19:04]
just the building.
[19:08]
» The way the ordinance reads is that
[19:10]
private recreation centers and amenities
[19:13]
are a conditional use permit in
[19:14]
residential districts. So, we have a
[19:16]
number of these. There's, as Mr. Schmidt
[19:19]
stated, there is one literally a year
[19:21]
ago, we did this for the southern uh
[19:24]
location. There's one in Summerland. Um
[19:29]
there are uh Cedar Hills. I mean we've
[19:31]
got these scattered all over. So and
[19:34]
they've done we've done cups for pretty
[19:37]
much all those unless they were a part
[19:38]
of a PUB. So um the the ordinance is
[19:42]
pretty general in just saying private
[19:44]
recreation. So the pool we've kind of
[19:47]
lumped that all together. It's part of
[19:49]
that private recreation for those
[19:51]
residents.
[19:52]
>> Thank you.
[19:54]
>> Good clarifying question. Anybody else
[19:57]
have a question?
[19:59]
>> Madam Chair,
[20:00]
>> Commissioner Spencson,
[20:01]
>> just just a point of clarification. I
[20:03]
know a lot of the questions that we had
[20:04]
here today were related to HOA and HOA
[20:07]
regulations. Does the city really get
[20:09]
involved in
[20:11]
that portion of it?
[20:13]
>> We do not we do not have uh control over
[20:16]
the HOAs other than ensuring that units
[20:19]
uh town home units are in an HOA. U but
[20:23]
we do not have jurisdiction over what
[20:26]
those HOAs say um unless they're trying
[20:30]
to be less restrictive than city
[20:32]
requirements. So
[20:34]
>> So Madam Chair, safe to say we're we're
[20:36]
voting on how this complies with city
[20:38]
regulations.
[20:39]
>> Yes. Excellent reminder, Commissioner
[20:42]
Swinson. Thank you.
[20:46]
» No other questions. I think we're ready
[20:48]
for a motion.
[20:51]
Madam chair, I had a motion to recommend
[20:53]
to city council approval of the Ritter
[20:56]
Meadows private recreation building
[20:58]
conditional use permit and adoption of
[21:00]
findings of facts subject to the two
[21:02]
stipulations in the planning report
[21:03]
dated September 23rd, 2026.
[21:07]
>> Second.
[21:09]
>> We have a motion and a second. Miss
[21:10]
Ericen, will you take the role, please?
[21:14]
>> Loa,
[21:14]
>> I. Zimmer
[21:16]
>> I
[21:17]
>> Swaney
[21:18]
>> I
[21:18]
>> Swinson
[21:19]
>> I
[21:19]
>> Tinsley
[21:20]
>> I
[21:21]
>> Travis
[21:21]
>> Hi.
[21:23]
>> Motion prevails. I will ask when will
[21:26]
this one come to plan to city council?
[21:30]
>> October 19th.
[21:32]
Okay. Thank you so much.
[21:34]
Good luck with your plan and your both
[21:37]
of you if I didn't tell say to you guys
[21:40]
too. Good luck with both of those.
[21:43]
Uh we have a third public hearing. Um
[21:47]
public hearing to consider amendments to
[21:49]
title 11 zoning of the city code. Miss
[21:52]
Jensen is coming back for a repeat
[21:54]
performance.
[21:55]
>> Back
[21:56]
try and keep this real brief. Uh members
[22:00]
of our police department have been
[22:01]
working with our code enforcement
[22:03]
officer on a variety of issues related
[22:06]
to parking and storage of commercial
[22:09]
vehicles, recreation vehicles, trailers,
[22:12]
etc. Uh at the September 21st city
[22:15]
council work session, Chief uh Brad
[22:17]
Pollson did provide some information
[22:20]
about proposed amendments to title six
[22:24]
uh which is motor vehicles and traffic
[22:26]
of the city code. Those changes are not
[22:29]
subject to the planning commission
[22:32]
review. Uh but I'm summarizing them here
[22:34]
because the changes we're proposing to
[22:36]
title 11 are related to these. Um so
[22:40]
these changes uh address parking
[22:43]
restrictions for commercial and
[22:44]
recreational vehicles. Um adding
[22:47]
trailers within there as well. They
[22:49]
previously just talked about commercial
[22:51]
and recreational vehicles. So we're
[22:53]
specifically adding trailers as well um
[22:56]
about those parking on public streets
[22:58]
and then updating some of the
[22:59]
definitions so that we're consistent
[23:01]
with MIDOT uh standards makes it easier
[23:04]
to identify what is what. Uh so the city
[23:08]
council did have a discussion on that
[23:10]
and then express support for those
[23:13]
proposed changes.
[23:15]
So, as a part of that, there are some
[23:17]
minor amendments we would like to make
[23:18]
in title 11 to ensure that the zoning is
[23:21]
in is consistent with those changes that
[23:24]
would be proposed for title six. Um, so
[23:27]
the two sections, uh, one is 11197,
[23:30]
which is our parking chapter, and it
[23:34]
pretty much just adds trailers to the
[23:36]
text addressing, you know, parking of
[23:37]
recreational vehicles and equipment. Um
[23:41]
it does add language prohibiting the
[23:43]
parking of commercial vehicles and
[23:45]
equipment on public rideway. Previously
[23:47]
it said simply on any property. Um so
[23:50]
this confir clarifies that it that does
[23:52]
also include any public streets. Um and
[23:56]
then chapter 22 is our outdoor storage
[23:58]
chapter. Um it also adds trailers in
[24:01]
there for the requirements uh in
[24:03]
addition to recreational vehicles and
[24:05]
then clarifies where those items um can
[24:08]
be parked. staff does recommend approval
[24:11]
of these ordinance amendments. This is a
[24:14]
public hearing and I will stand for any
[24:16]
questions you may have.
[24:18]
>> Thank you. As M said, this is public
[24:22]
hearing if anyone wants to comment on
[24:25]
title six amendments.
[24:30]
I'm not seeing anyone rushing to the
[24:32]
microphone.
[24:34]
>> Chair, I'd move to close the public
[24:35]
hearing.
[24:37]
>> Second.
[24:38]
>> Have a motion. A second. All those in
[24:39]
favor of closing the public hearing,
[24:41]
please say I.
[24:42]
>> I.
[24:44]
>> Motion prevails and the public hearing
[24:45]
is now closed.
[24:48]
Miss Jensen, I would have one question.
[24:51]
When you said for the second bullet
[24:52]
point that adds language prohibiting
[24:55]
parking of commercial vehicles and
[24:57]
equipment on public right of way, does
[25:00]
it also say
[25:03]
continue to say any property? I forgot
[25:05]
to look that up.
[25:06]
>> Yes.
[25:06]
>> Okay. It's just an addition.
[25:09]
>> Yes. So, uh, currently it says except
[25:13]
where specifically allowed, contracting,
[25:15]
excavating equipment or other commercial
[25:17]
vehicles and equipment may not be parked
[25:19]
or stored on any property in the city
[25:21]
unless it's being used in conjunction
[25:23]
with a temporary service benefiting the
[25:25]
premises. So, the amendment would say uh
[25:28]
may not be parked or stored on any
[25:30]
property or public street rightway in
[25:32]
the city. So, it's just the addition of
[25:34]
that clarifying language. It's very
[25:37]
helpful. Thank you.
[25:38]
>> Any other questions for Miss Jensen?
[25:45]
» No other questions? Then I think we're
[25:47]
ready for a motion.
[25:52]
Madam Chair, I'd make a motion to
[25:54]
recommend a city council approval of the
[25:56]
amendment to title 11 zoning the city
[25:59]
code relating to the requirements for
[26:04]
>> second. We have a motion and a second.
[26:07]
Miss Ericson, will you please call the
[26:08]
role?
[26:10]
>> Zimmer.
[26:11]
>> I
[26:12]
>> Swain.
[26:13]
>> I
[26:14]
>> Tinsley
[26:15]
>> I.
[26:15]
>> Travis.
[26:16]
>> I
[26:20]
» The motion prevails.
[26:22]
Um the next item on the agenda,
[26:27]
uh staff notices. Um oh, I forgot to
[26:31]
clarify. I assume the zoning issue will
[26:33]
be addressed on October 19th as well.
[26:35]
>> Yes, both the changes to title six and
[26:38]
title 11 would go to council on October
[26:41]
19th.
[26:42]
>> Okay. Uh the next planning commission
[26:45]
meeting is scheduled not for October
[26:48]
15th. That one has been cancelled and it
[26:51]
will be November 5th. And I think there
[26:54]
was a memo from Miss Johnson.
[27:00]
Maybe not.
[27:02]
No memo.
[27:04]
Okay, there is no memo. Then we don't
[27:07]
have anything else on the agenda. We are
[27:09]
adjourned.
[27:12]
Thank you everybody.
[27:16]
Oh, the only thing
