1
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:13,620
I'm going to call the planning committee committee. Council order on October 27, 2025, 7 p.m. Let's start with the roll call vote.

2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:34,120
Brazil, here, Gamble, here, Finnegan, Steinfeld, here, Swanson, Wardman, city administrator, honey. Plaining and setting administrator. I can't read my writing, Monson, here, right? I know, I just can't read it, Monson, yeah. Okay. And Council Liaison, how are you?

3
00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:50,730
I have a request to amend the agenda for item number 5.1.

4
00:00:53,310 --> 00:00:58,250
So as you recall, there was an ADU that was applied for as a variance of that that was

5
00:00:58,250 --> 00:01:05,350
previously proved as an interim use permit and then there was a lawsuit in what came out

6
00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:10,430
that was the judge had asked the applicant to reapply for an inter-emuse permit instead

7
00:01:10,430 --> 00:01:16,590
of proceeding with the variance application. So in anticipation of that, the zoning administrator

8
00:01:16,590 --> 00:01:24,090
and the city attorney reviewed the code language for some cleanup stuff and some things related

9
00:01:24,090 --> 00:01:33,790
to the to accessory dwelling units. And I had some discussions earlier today and the recommendation

10
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:39,390
is for this to go to city council first before it's reviewed by the planning commission and have the city council

11
00:01:39,390 --> 00:01:46,870
determine if they want any code amendments. So I would last for someone to make a motion to remove this agenda item

12
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:53,550
for tonight and then city council can discuss this at their next meeting and then they can come back if they want

13
00:01:53,550 --> 00:01:59,690
direct planning to review the the code amendments. Is that item 5? 5.1?

14
00:01:59,890 --> 00:02:08,070
Yes. I'll move to remove item 5.1 from the agenda so that the City Council can review

15
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:23,530
it first before we're asked to give our news on it. I'll second that. Okay we'll do

16
00:02:23,530 --> 00:02:25,330
Gamble. Yes. And again.

17
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:34,430
Recommended it.

18
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:43,050
No, the city attorney. Okay. Um, then yes.

19
00:02:44,410 --> 00:02:55,250
Okay. Yeah. It's time to help. Yes. All right. Passes six or six. Thank you. All right.

20
00:02:55,330 --> 00:02:57,050
The minutes for the last meeting.

21
00:03:00,490 --> 00:03:03,830
Edit. If not, it's going to be in the motion.

22
00:03:06,750 --> 00:03:07,670
I approve the minutes.

23
00:03:08,430 --> 00:03:09,870
I can move to approve the minutes.

24
00:03:10,010 --> 00:03:10,370
Second.

25
00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:12,170
Susan, did you find any?

26
00:03:12,670 --> 00:03:13,030
Okay.

27
00:03:13,170 --> 00:03:13,630
We always see them.

28
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:14,910
They were running past me.

29
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:15,730
Oh, well.

30
00:03:16,210 --> 00:03:16,950
One of us.

31
00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:17,970
Okay.

32
00:03:18,290 --> 00:03:19,190
We have a new system.

33
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:19,890
We have a new system.

34
00:03:20,030 --> 00:03:21,090
I do it on in the thing.

35
00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:21,850
It's a lesson there.

36
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:22,530
I'm not aware.

37
00:03:24,010 --> 00:03:24,370
Okay.

38
00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:28,610
So, there's a motion to approve the minutes as presented.

39
00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:29,890
Resilie A.

40
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:30,710
Gamble.

41
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:31,290
Yes.

42
00:03:31,590 --> 00:03:31,810
And again.

43
00:03:32,210 --> 00:03:32,490
Yes.

44
00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:33,070
Time to open.

45
00:03:33,230 --> 00:03:33,370
Yes.

46
00:03:33,370 --> 00:03:35,110
once in. Yes, workman. Yes.

47
00:03:35,470 --> 00:03:36,450
Passed six of six.

48
00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:41,310
Now we go to

49
00:03:42,130 --> 00:03:42,890
hold business.

50
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:47,550
Tree production ordinance update in the work group.

51
00:03:47,650 --> 00:03:49,690
Scott, would you like to update or you want me to?

52
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:53,210
I did bring a hold-up IDs notes.

53
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:53,810
Yeah.

54
00:03:54,030 --> 00:03:54,970
Which way? I'm going to go.

55
00:03:55,590 --> 00:03:56,010
What's that going?

56
00:03:57,650 --> 00:04:00,590
So I'm going to go public hearing this. Is 5.1 or 2?

57
00:04:00,830 --> 00:04:01,370
Yeah. Right.

58
00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:04,950
Yeah, we're 5.1s off.

59
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:17,320
Okay, so on the tree protection, I just pull the nuts up, we're going to see if we don't have anything on that in the packet.

60
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,580
No. Oh wait, yeah, there was no notes.

61
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:23,240
Oh, it's in case 14 of 19.

62
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:31,380
Yeah, so the group's been meeting and to remind you we're basically trying to simplify this.

63
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:36,100
It's not user-friendly at all. If you're a resident trying to figure out where to look, it's very confusing.

64
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:39,840
even the process of editing it, I found it confusing.

65
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:42,640
But I did finally get it down.

66
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:48,080
So the worker has met on, and we briefed you, you know,

67
00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:51,600
on some of the recommendations based on feedback from residents

68
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,460
and our research.

69
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,680
And so what we're doing now is trying to get those into the code

70
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,800
and simplify it.

71
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:02,360
And so I spent a lot of time doing a red line version

72
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,280
similar to what we did for the DNR projects.

73
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:05,540
projects and

74
00:05:07,180 --> 00:05:14,320
What we're the the nice thing about it is that there's a table and it's based on a table of the city's been using and

75
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:21,000
We made some changes to it in the meeting, but it'll be a lot easier for someone to say here's my issue

76
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,300
I have a dead tree and it's not protected and so here's what I look enough. I'm it's require

77
00:05:27,460 --> 00:05:33,860
So we talked a bit for that we're moving some of the sections the chapter reads kind of like a many ordinance

78
00:05:33,860 --> 00:05:41,560
It has a historical section, it has definitions, and it has enforcement, and it has language

79
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,020
on nuisance and how nuisance situations are handled.

80
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:55,720
The nuisance is covered in the City Code section 508 we learned, and so we'll be moving nuisance

81
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:03,840
to the City Code, or not moving in there, but-

82
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:08,780
We're looking at the details on new scents and whether we'd want to recommend any edits

83
00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:14,120
to the city code, which would have to go to the city council, and we'll have this

84
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,840
for you at the next meeting.

85
00:06:19,060 --> 00:06:22,840
The historical sections go in the front of the code, the enforcement is going to the enforcement,

86
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:26,680
so it cleans up the section a lot, so that's kind of the second big thing.

87
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:37,590
And the third thing is we're just looking at the 75-foot lake set back and make sure we

88
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:39,530
handle that well with these changes.

89
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,780
So where we are now is there's a list of things that I have to update and we'll have them

90
00:06:47,780 --> 00:06:51,620
ready for the next meeting so we'll be going through a lot of details in the next meeting.

91
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,440
So playing for a little more time.

92
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,340
We'll send a redline version.

93
00:06:56,380 --> 00:07:03,960
Well, we actually, the red line, it's so much changed, the red line is really hard to understand, you know, because so many things moved.

94
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:16,360
So what we're preparing is a summary of kind of the changes that be for you or for city council so that they'll be able to absorb, you know, the draft.

95
00:07:16,820 --> 00:07:22,040
So we'll have a summary of changes we're recommending, the workers recommending

96
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,520
planning or bringing to planning and planning if you know with changes

97
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,320
at planning would recommend to City Council. There'll be a summary of these

98
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,340
things as well as the old code and the new code to read.

99
00:07:38,660 --> 00:07:39,360
So we're getting close to

100
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:39,580
the

101
00:07:42,910 --> 00:07:46,590
foundation on this, hopefully the next meeting. Any questions?

102
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:55,000
I so I build would be so that being phase two, as you're calling it phase one,

103
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,260
those technical changes this phase two, then there's at phase three of how we engage residents on a

104
00:08:01,260 --> 00:08:07,640
positive way around trees and that's where we partnered with parks. So we have that meeting that's

105
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:14,740
doing. We have that session. It's in parks hand now. I think they meet November 18th. That's

106
00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:19,920
the first time they're going to kind of work it themselves and then they're planning on going back to

107
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:25,100
City Council probably February, probably June.

108
00:08:30,190 --> 00:08:32,230
Any other questions on that one?

109
00:08:36,370 --> 00:08:38,090
Okay, the next item,

110
00:08:38,370 --> 00:08:41,750
62, Project Less Priority Recommendation to City Council.

111
00:08:42,530 --> 00:08:43,830
How do you help us on that one?

112
00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:44,450
Yeah.

113
00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:45,470
Please.

114
00:08:47,170 --> 00:08:49,930
So I have a memo in your packet.

115
00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:55,770
I thought of this when we had a discussion last time,

116
00:08:55,770 --> 00:09:01,370
if the planning commissions that they should review and make a recommendation if we should

117
00:09:01,370 --> 00:09:02,930
regulate short-term rentals or not.

118
00:09:04,950 --> 00:09:12,330
So when I looked at that and planning commission, once they wanted council to direct you to

119
00:09:12,330 --> 00:09:15,930
look at that, I was thinking about there are some other things that are still kind of hanging

120
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:16,470
out there.

121
00:09:17,210 --> 00:09:24,170
One of them was home occupations when the cannabis legislation came about and we looked at the

122
00:09:24,170 --> 00:09:28,250
home occupation section of the code and thought it's really out of date so

123
00:09:28,250 --> 00:09:31,270
that's one thing. It's kind of reminding you of what's on your list and that

124
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:35,490
is getting an idea of what you think your capacity is because these things

125
00:09:35,490 --> 00:09:40,770
always take longer than we think that they're going to take. So that was there. I

126
00:09:40,770 --> 00:09:47,670
think landscaping is still a section of the... Yeah, a through a stall. Yeah, grating and then there's

127
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:56,750
There's the grading where you can bring in fill to raise the ground level whenever you're

128
00:09:56,750 --> 00:09:57,910
building a home.

129
00:09:58,570 --> 00:10:00,890
That's kind of been on the list for a long time.

130
00:10:01,730 --> 00:10:08,170
And then we've had questions of if, and this is a question for council because it hasn't

131
00:10:08,170 --> 00:10:11,290
come past them yet, if they think that we should regulate fences or not.

132
00:10:12,390 --> 00:10:14,090
So I want to make a fence.

133
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:23,870
We don't permit issue permits for fences, but they are required to follow the setbacks

134
00:10:23,870 --> 00:10:25,530
and the other standards.

135
00:10:26,070 --> 00:10:28,930
There's a bunch of standards in the code, so yeah, I said that wrong.

136
00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:33,550
We do regulate them, but there's been some thought maybe it would be easier if we

137
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:37,330
should permits for them because then we can ensure that people are following.

138
00:10:38,770 --> 00:10:44,270
Well I'm not aware of any, it's kind of more when it's been brought up, I haven't seen

139
00:10:44,270 --> 00:10:50,470
any issues but you know people are just concerned to make sure everyone's doing incorrectly.

140
00:10:51,790 --> 00:11:00,150
So anyway those were the items that I could think of that were on our list and also including

141
00:11:00,150 --> 00:11:04,810
that Evan had pulled together some information on short term rentals just to give you, just

142
00:11:04,810 --> 00:11:08,110
to get you to start thinking about how that's regulated

143
00:11:08,110 --> 00:11:10,870
in other cities or how it possibly could be regulated.

144
00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:15,090
So I don't know what order of importance

145
00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:18,750
you think these are, or if the next thing,

146
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:21,050
what short-term rentals, if you want to do that first,

147
00:11:21,170 --> 00:11:22,970
or if you want to look kind of at the list,

148
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:25,690
and if you think there's other things that we need to do,

149
00:11:25,870 --> 00:11:27,590
and we have to start working on the COT plan

150
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:30,610
starting next year, because it's doing two years.

151
00:11:32,690 --> 00:11:39,190
28, right? So I don't know if you want to think about it. I guess the other thing is we

152
00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:44,910
were wanting to go through the chapters of the code. Yeah. You want at least one a year

153
00:11:44,910 --> 00:11:51,490
to try to make a more user friendly and clear. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. So I guess the question, when

154
00:11:51,490 --> 00:11:57,830
you think about the DNR work we do, I wonder, we felt like the tree ordinance needed the most

155
00:11:57,830 --> 00:12:02,850
help. What chapter do we think we would move to after that?

156
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:14,480
One one way to look at it is what are

157
00:12:15,220 --> 00:12:20,880
residents trying to look at, yeah, most because that's where we really need to make it clear for it's

158
00:12:32,530 --> 00:12:38,110
true. Yes, actually I'm gonna change what I said because if we have an empty chapter which we do

159
00:12:38,110 --> 00:12:41,810
it's still placeholder we should probably do that before we start cycling through the

160
00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:48,090
Yeah, so I would put landscaping and grading ahead of moving for other sections, I guess.

161
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,380
Short-term rentals does strike me as...

162
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:58,640
No, I agree.

163
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,840
Or it gets out of hand.

164
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:02,400
Yeah.

165
00:13:04,460 --> 00:13:06,680
So, how do you, we need to...

166
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:10,400
Do we recommend the list or recommend a priority with the list?

167
00:13:14,620 --> 00:13:16,300
It'd be better to give a priority if we...

168
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:16,440
Yeah.

169
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,380
Yeah, okay.

170
00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:19,380
So...

171
00:13:19,380 --> 00:13:22,100
So, is landscaping and grading just a rewrite?

172
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:23,980
No, there's an empty chapter.

173
00:13:26,260 --> 00:13:37,240
There's something in there on a shoreland. The shoreland rules don't allow certain grading, but that's within 75 feet.

174
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:47,540
The thing that we've gotten complaints on are people building up lots, you know, 10 feet and blocking views and that's behind the shoreland area.

175
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:51,760
It

176
00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:00,500
seems like one and two from, I think based on all our conversations, the short-term

177
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:08,300
Reynolds and the 8.3 filling out that chapter seem clearly about the other two in my mind,

178
00:14:10,910 --> 00:14:11,430
which one?

179
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:17,110
under two being, let's just enumerate the permits for fences and home occupations.

180
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:20,490
And then this current plan, right?

181
00:14:21,010 --> 00:14:23,870
Well, I'm so sure what there is to do on the current plan about this year.

182
00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:25,990
I just want to down your radar.

183
00:14:26,650 --> 00:14:27,590
Revis as needed.

184
00:14:28,370 --> 00:14:29,610
Well, let's think about that aside.

185
00:14:30,510 --> 00:14:34,690
I just wanted to be on your radar that in 2026 we need to start working on it.

186
00:14:34,830 --> 00:14:38,370
We'll have to have some directive from council because they might say

187
00:14:38,370 --> 00:14:45,710
We pretty much like the way it is from how we did it 10 years ago, or they might say we

188
00:14:45,710 --> 00:14:50,650
really need some significant changes, and I don't know what that'll turn into, maybe

189
00:14:50,650 --> 00:14:57,330
with some other work groups or surveys, or I don't know.

190
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:59,910
and home occupation strikes me as.

191
00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:26,210
So the city attorney was the one who suggested that we look at the home occupation and in dealing

192
00:15:26,210 --> 00:15:31,930
with the Canada's legislation and that when you looked at it you looked at it like you know

193
00:15:31,930 --> 00:15:36,930
it maybe it's not an issue for this to do with it don't you from the state you know are

194
00:15:36,930 --> 00:15:41,870
just all cannabis yeah I don't think you can that's what you do it out of your home I think there's

195
00:15:41,870 --> 00:15:45,590
a lot of requirements so I think that's what I'm saying I think that was what we were talking about

196
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:50,230
it's like why do we need to regulate it when it's already regulated by the state purpose specifically

197
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:56,950
Well, I think it's a broader issue, which was on residential, and so in today's, there's

198
00:15:56,950 --> 00:16:02,870
like, you know, we don't allow commercial, but there are occupations that haven't been

199
00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:03,570
explicitly there.

200
00:16:03,570 --> 00:16:10,940
It's worth investigating whether you, according to the state statutes, whether you can sell

201
00:16:10,940 --> 00:16:11,860
it out of your home.

202
00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:12,180
Yeah.

203
00:16:12,340 --> 00:16:13,600
I have no problem looking at that.

204
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:20,140
But I'm going to have somebody at least look at the requirements and it seems like a pretty

205
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,760
I don't think people can sell out all over their home, which I love you and think you wouldn't think.

206
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,520
We did have a city attorney and he had recommended some language.

207
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:34,640
When you looked at that, then you looked at the whole section and said it's really out of date, because it did refer to that.

208
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,800
Yeah, I don't think this is about cannabis.

209
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,860
The cannabis thing brought up the fact that I like Russian sections.

210
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:43,860
Right, but it refer to bar shops and no business that, you know.

211
00:16:43,860 --> 00:16:52,020
My general feeling is that you shouldn't necessarily put in things that are already regulated as opposed to things that you don't.

212
00:16:52,020 --> 00:16:55,720
That aren't regulated that you don't want to have here, so I'm getting at, you know,

213
00:16:55,780 --> 00:17:01,520
there's lots of things you probably can't sell from your home, probably fireworks or something that are probably regulated.

214
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,980
I don't know if you're sure, but I've got to believe there are other dangers that probably can't sell guns from your home.

215
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:13,800
if you can. I shouldn't say in this country you never know but I'm just saying

216
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,660
that there's definitely regulated things that it seems to be going to load

217
00:17:18,660 --> 00:17:23,780
your your code up with all these things you can't do that already taken care of.

218
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:30,700
I guess I go back to my previous point which was you know fine let's look at it but

219
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:38,860
I don't, I wouldn't put it as a high priority and I think we can dispense with it in fairly short

220
00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:44,500
order. So I don't know if we need to worry about whether it's on the list or not.

221
00:17:44,540 --> 00:17:48,980
No, I think that the home short term rental is a thing that seems to be

222
00:17:49,540 --> 00:17:54,040
percolating all around the lake and just like the tree ordinance, I think it's

223
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,880
important for us to be there with the other people.

224
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,140
Why do you like the more trouble you have?

225
00:17:58,740 --> 00:17:58,960
I'm sorry.

226
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,520
The longer you like the more trouble you have.

227
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:02,380
You don't want to be the one who doesn't have to do that.

228
00:18:02,540 --> 00:18:05,620
I know it's going back on people who are already doing it.

229
00:18:05,780 --> 00:18:05,860
Exactly.

230
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,840
Okay, so who wants you just moving to this informally,

231
00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:14,460
what would your number one priority be?

232
00:18:14,780 --> 00:18:16,480
Scott, number one priority?

233
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,000
I think the short-term rentals.

234
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:18,900
And what would you two be?

235
00:18:20,220 --> 00:18:22,640
I don't think I'm close enough to the other two,

236
00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:25,280
but everything you're talking about in landscape and green,

237
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,780
whole occupation feels like yeah okay I get around to doing that but I don't

238
00:18:29,780 --> 00:18:36,100
worry you're talking to me landscaping would be one would probably be number one

239
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:37,140
okay and

240
00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:45,570
then maybe then I'm kind of in different between okay

241
00:18:45,570 --> 00:18:53,510
okay yeah all right yeah well I'm sorry short-term rental and then I would say

242
00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:58,670
the landscaping, because if it sounds like it could be an issue with this rating, we should

243
00:18:58,670 --> 00:19:00,470
definitely want to get that taken care of.

244
00:19:00,610 --> 00:19:01,630
Just more as you would want to see.

245
00:19:01,730 --> 00:19:02,050
Kind of the same.

246
00:19:02,250 --> 00:19:03,190
Short term, Randall.

247
00:19:03,390 --> 00:19:03,970
Randall's number one.

248
00:19:03,970 --> 00:19:04,250
Maybe one.

249
00:19:04,370 --> 00:19:06,170
I'm rating and failing number two.

250
00:19:06,650 --> 00:19:06,830
Okay.

251
00:19:07,370 --> 00:19:07,690
Probably.

252
00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:10,650
I guess I think the same thing.

253
00:19:11,010 --> 00:19:12,670
Randall and short term, Randall's.

254
00:19:12,850 --> 00:19:13,230
Sorry.

255
00:19:14,590 --> 00:19:14,950
Yeah.

256
00:19:16,350 --> 00:19:17,690
And landscaping too.

257
00:19:18,930 --> 00:19:19,190
Okay.

258
00:19:24,750 --> 00:19:29,570
What would you think about recommending short-term rentals is also pretty quick.

259
00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:32,210
It's landscaping and grading to be a lot more involved.

260
00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:37,390
What do you think about giving priority of one for short-term rentals, two for landscaping

261
00:19:37,390 --> 00:19:37,890
and grading?

262
00:19:39,230 --> 00:19:44,850
Probably put a three simultaneous with two is probably starting to work on the comprehensive

263
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:47,130
plan whenever we get feedback from City Council.

264
00:19:47,650 --> 00:19:50,870
That would probably, but let's put that three for now, but it could change.

265
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:54,410
I would put fences ahead of home occupation.

266
00:19:55,870 --> 00:19:56,150
Okay.

267
00:19:56,450 --> 00:19:59,530
So between fences and home occupation, what do you put first, Scott?

268
00:20:02,060 --> 00:20:02,720
I'll pass on.

269
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:03,380
I don't know.

270
00:20:04,980 --> 00:20:06,120
Where are the issues in there?

271
00:20:06,660 --> 00:20:07,620
Probably fences.

272
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,120
Okay.

273
00:20:09,180 --> 00:20:15,100
The community would have more of an opinion on them than whatever way of home occupation is going on right now.

274
00:20:25,630 --> 00:20:33,170
I just said home occupation over fences, but I don't feel super strongly about it, so I'm not going to stand up and

275
00:20:33,170 --> 00:20:36,570
I would assume fences is a very quick turn.

276
00:20:37,170 --> 00:20:37,730
I would think so.

277
00:20:39,050 --> 00:20:47,190
Well, that's kind of nice. We have kind of medium, hard, maybe easy. I don't know, home occupation is probably easy.

278
00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:53,650
we got the compound plan coming in there. If we were thinking about 26, when do you think

279
00:20:53,650 --> 00:20:58,470
we would start to hear something, if we have 26 and 27 to work on the compound plan

280
00:20:58,470 --> 00:21:01,570
or any changes, and usually they're not a lot, usually.

281
00:21:02,350 --> 00:21:08,050
Right, unless the city council says they want us to do it all over from scratch, I can't

282
00:21:08,050 --> 00:21:12,590
imagine that's going to be that big. It's a long document, it is to read.

283
00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:15,830
And why don't we suggest that's probably three?

284
00:21:16,450 --> 00:21:19,210
Because it's part of what we're updating it to more modern.

285
00:21:19,810 --> 00:21:22,110
Yeah, there's some discussion around encouraging,

286
00:21:22,530 --> 00:21:27,190
like the only thing I've heard is when we were talking about the parts work.

287
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:36,370
One idea, Joe mentioned that we really don't cover like more modern things like

288
00:21:37,290 --> 00:21:43,170
environmental, like wing-courage recycling, or composting, or other kind of

289
00:21:43,170 --> 00:21:48,510
modern things that if you look at the spirit of the COMP plan might be

290
00:21:48,510 --> 00:21:54,970
included. So I think it's relatively... I mean yeah I think the general feedback is

291
00:21:54,970 --> 00:21:59,230
that the city likes its guiding principles of the type of character that this

292
00:21:59,230 --> 00:22:03,930
community is and wants to maintain the character that we have but yeah there are

293
00:22:03,930 --> 00:22:06,310
are some things that need to be updated, I'm sure.

294
00:22:06,890 --> 00:22:09,150
And even though the comp plan is a very long document,

295
00:22:09,310 --> 00:22:11,630
the actual comp plan is not huge.

296
00:22:11,630 --> 00:22:15,730
It's all the appendixes, which a lot of some of those

297
00:22:15,730 --> 00:22:18,870
are done by our engineers, so that's what it follows.

298
00:22:19,670 --> 00:22:22,910
But I think the comp plan should stay on the test of time

299
00:22:22,910 --> 00:22:27,250
with minor tweaks, but I agree that it's probably some updating

300
00:22:27,250 --> 00:22:30,290
we can do, but please accept it.

301
00:22:30,670 --> 00:22:32,270
Is that about infrastructure?

302
00:22:32,270 --> 00:22:39,080
sure everything's like road maintenance and there's I don't think it into

303
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:44,120
the maintenance but there's changes to it yeah there's a section on how often

304
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:49,620
they repay and do things they don't get into that much detail but you could

305
00:22:49,620 --> 00:22:53,880
always put a maintenance schedule you know as an appendix right yeah feel like a

306
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,100
capital improvement planner like a schedule when you want to do maintenance or

307
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:01,600
like what the city should be doing you could reference or include that in there

308
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,160
But you don't have to get into the things you're going to say we have to do each road every year.

309
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,500
I was just saying the same thing.

310
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,180
I always say before the December meeting, everybody just read the comp plan.

311
00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:16,840
So is that available on the website?

312
00:23:17,780 --> 00:23:18,480
It's on the website.

313
00:23:19,740 --> 00:23:21,180
And we're reviewing it.

314
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,360
What do we want to?

315
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:28,540
In December, let's, why don't we make a agenda item where we're going to

316
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:39,360
provide thoughts on where the component, I think one issue is like with the world changing

317
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:44,360
is there any kind of new things that might be built into the comp plan?

318
00:23:44,420 --> 00:23:46,020
Modifications are additions.

319
00:23:46,220 --> 00:23:52,300
Yes, modifications are additions and then other second thing would just be your thoughts on the comp plan

320
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:56,280
and how well we're, you know, what you see us doing.

321
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,480
That's what the how about those two things we can just have a little discussion on that

322
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:07,240
Okay, so the one would be any modifications or additions and the two would be

323
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:10,520
How are we living into it? Is that sound good?

324
00:24:11,740 --> 00:24:12,620
Any gaps?

325
00:24:14,650 --> 00:24:20,150
Okay, let's schedule that for the December meeting. So you put that on the agenda. Hi. Yeah. Thank you

326
00:24:20,150 --> 00:24:25,190
Okay, so what yes your hog so we think about priorities for next year

327
00:24:25,870 --> 00:24:31,850
Would we do these sequentially or would you parallel some of them like if you had an easy to meeting or something?

328
00:24:32,050 --> 00:24:32,130
Yeah

329
00:24:32,610 --> 00:24:36,870
Maybe that was too small to use because it's like fences and dirt on the windows or something

330
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,560
It's a good question. What do you guys think?

331
00:24:44,210 --> 00:24:46,270
Yeah, you wouldn't want to take out two bigs, right?

332
00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:49,670
Like short-term levels could turn into a can of worms.

333
00:24:51,330 --> 00:24:55,630
I'm kind of inclined to do them one after another, but I'm not.

334
00:24:56,010 --> 00:24:58,210
Well that's kind of the default, but if you guys want to try to parallel

335
00:24:58,210 --> 00:25:07,810
All we could. I think we have to have a discussion of the planning we need to see how big of a deal it is and how much consensus there is and how deep we need to dive before you can

336
00:25:09,070 --> 00:25:10,250
Okay, no exactly

337
00:25:11,310 --> 00:25:15,010
Yeah, I'm just more curious. That's a good question. I'm having a point of view on it

338
00:25:16,530 --> 00:25:18,670
I guess you know, we've been doing one thing at a time

339
00:25:18,670 --> 00:25:20,570
But we don't be been doing big things

340
00:25:20,570 --> 00:25:25,010
Yeah, and they tend to drag on sometimes we think don't do two things, but some of these might be easier

341
00:25:25,010 --> 00:25:31,550
We can kind of play it by ear maybe as we get into them. So these are our priorities for 26, right?

342
00:25:33,230 --> 00:25:35,150
You can go 26 and 26 and 27.

343
00:25:35,150 --> 00:25:36,030
26, 27.

344
00:25:36,270 --> 00:25:40,750
The remaining months of 25, we can try to sort that out.

345
00:25:41,430 --> 00:25:42,850
Well, I actually stand.

346
00:25:43,010 --> 00:25:43,990
And we want to stand them.

347
00:25:44,430 --> 00:25:47,190
Yeah, I mean, the less something rolling on locks, I wouldn't...

348
00:25:47,810 --> 00:25:49,470
It would be hard to see us getting past

349
00:25:50,630 --> 00:26:01,930
8.3 and short-term rentals and COMPLAN work in 26 right yeah so it's

350
00:26:01,930 --> 00:26:07,730
sounding like we're we're saying to recommend the list short-term rentals first

351
00:26:08,510 --> 00:26:15,310
section chapter 8-3 which is blank landscaping and grading three place

352
00:26:15,310 --> 00:26:23,850
older for comp plan, tune up, and then four was fences and five was home occupations.

353
00:26:26,030 --> 00:26:28,410
That's what I'm hearing you say, is that sound right?

354
00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:38,430
So if we make a motion to suggest that priority, and I think we could say to that we'll do them

355
00:26:38,850 --> 00:26:43,030
in series unless we find we have capacity to do any parallel.

356
00:26:43,710 --> 00:26:49,810
Right, and keep in mind that like the short term rentals, the request, and I don't know

357
00:26:49,810 --> 00:26:53,850
if council would make it more definitive, was for you to do research and decide if it's

358
00:26:53,850 --> 00:26:55,210
something that you should regulate or not.

359
00:26:55,430 --> 00:26:55,530
Right.

360
00:26:56,110 --> 00:27:00,470
So it wasn't to come forth with all your recommendations on regulations or a reg.

361
00:27:00,910 --> 00:27:03,730
Well yeah, that one could end if we said no, we don't think we should regulate it.

362
00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:06,030
If we do, though, I would include it in that priority.

363
00:27:06,210 --> 00:27:10,790
Yeah, and I think just, yeah, and the same would be with fences, because it's

364
00:27:13,610 --> 00:27:15,830
-

365
00:27:15,830 --> 00:27:22,200
that priority list. I can't make a motion. I can't make a motion. I can't make a motion.

366
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:29,740
I think we said like that. You should be. If you want. Upcoming year the planning commission.

367
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:42,160
Can we say to 2627? 2627 planning commission priorities be one short term, examining short term

368
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:54,540
levels to the grading and filling section of the code which is currently blank or basically

369
00:27:54,540 --> 00:28:09,620
like a three and evaluating the comprehensive plan for evaluating whether fencing needs

370
00:28:09,620 --> 00:28:18,260
needs to be permitted, and five, looking at the evaluating the whole occupation section

371
00:28:18,260 --> 00:28:18,820
of the code.

372
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,880
I think that's good.

373
00:28:21,980 --> 00:28:25,180
What do you think about, and the comp plan, Heidi, should we add, after receiving, you

374
00:28:25,180 --> 00:28:31,560
know, feedback for our direction from city council, because we kind of want them to, aren't

375
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,840
there supposed to be a person that?

376
00:28:34,260 --> 00:28:35,120
Do we go first?

377
00:28:35,260 --> 00:28:36,120
Do they go first on their own?

378
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,520
You were tasked with it, but I would think it would be good if you had guidance from them,

379
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,440
so you don't go in a direction that they're really not thinking.

380
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,280
So you said, are you okay with that, Amanda?

381
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,500
Yes, you just...

382
00:28:48,500 --> 00:28:50,700
After a direction, you have some counsel, okay.

383
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,020
Can you read back to us when you're ready, Heidi?

384
00:28:58,580 --> 00:29:05,600
I don't know exactly how you started it, because I caught on it from 2026 to 2027, the planning

385
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,820
Commission priorities with the number one examine short term rental is number two grading and filling section

386
00:29:12,620 --> 00:29:20,040
Which is 8.3 8.3. Yeah number three evaluating the complaint after direction from city council number four

387
00:29:21,060 --> 00:29:26,720
Evaluating whether fences need to be permitted and number five evaluating home occupations section of code

388
00:29:29,250 --> 00:29:35,270
I think the intro was fine wasn't you said? I just I just mentioned that our priorities for is that he started?

389
00:29:35,790 --> 00:29:36,270
Second.

390
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:42,920
Okay.

391
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,580
Either way.

392
00:29:44,740 --> 00:29:45,620
Brazil, yes.

393
00:29:46,220 --> 00:29:46,600
Gamble?

394
00:29:46,860 --> 00:29:47,040
Yes.

395
00:29:47,380 --> 00:29:47,620
Finnegan?

396
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:48,380
Yes.

397
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:48,880
Time fell?

398
00:29:49,060 --> 00:29:49,200
Yes.

399
00:29:49,660 --> 00:29:50,020
Swanson?

400
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:50,420
Yes.

401
00:29:50,820 --> 00:29:51,200
Wartman?

402
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:51,620
Yes.

403
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:52,040
Okay.

404
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,000
That's a six or six.

405
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:53,300
Thanks.

406
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,440
That's a question.

407
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:56,060
Yes.

408
00:29:56,860 --> 00:29:59,920
So on this cop plan, we're coming back to sound.

409
00:30:02,030 --> 00:30:13,390
So there might be something there with that in any way, something we take back to city council when we ask for guidance. Yeah, I think that may be a good thing. Yeah. Yeah,

410
00:30:15,450 --> 00:30:32,010
we gave it back to them. We can catch on our discussion. Or even minutes, right? How would we do that? Just minute the discussion. You think Jennifer? I mean, you committed the discussion and I give you the summary. Yeah, it'll end up being on our agenda.

411
00:30:32,010 --> 00:30:33,650
objective list, council's objective list.

412
00:30:34,310 --> 00:30:37,250
It'll be plotted in there, but it starts with planning.

413
00:30:37,370 --> 00:30:39,370
That's why I wanted to start it now.

414
00:30:41,270 --> 00:30:42,190
Okay, good.

415
00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:45,050
Anything else on that before I move to the next thing?

416
00:30:47,390 --> 00:30:48,530
Seven, one, chair, or four?

417
00:30:49,110 --> 00:30:49,730
I have nothing.

418
00:30:50,690 --> 00:30:52,030
Nothing, two, four.

419
00:30:52,890 --> 00:30:54,130
Any commissioner reports?

420
00:30:55,810 --> 00:30:57,470
Council liaison, how are some of them?

421
00:30:58,090 --> 00:31:01,150
We had our meeting on October 6th.

422
00:31:01,150 --> 00:31:06,810
water and treatment plant is coming along well. They've finished with well number three and

423
00:31:06,810 --> 00:31:10,630
well number four. All the drilling is complete. It's so quiet.

424
00:31:12,990 --> 00:31:15,050
You must be happy about that.

425
00:31:16,130 --> 00:31:22,270
It didn't mind it. It was kind of like just a background noise. So they're working on the exterior

426
00:31:22,270 --> 00:31:29,190
finishes and they're onto the interior work. We're working on still trying to figure out finances,

427
00:31:29,190 --> 00:31:34,150
speaking of which we are on the Senate funding tour of the bus stop so they're

428
00:31:34,150 --> 00:31:42,170
stopping in Minnetake Beach on October 30th so hopefully. What does that look like?

429
00:31:43,290 --> 00:31:47,290
So they stop at each community kind of the tour so there's multiple communities

430
00:31:47,290 --> 00:31:51,310
and you think we get 15 minutes right? 15 minutes to kind of present our case

431
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:56,430
and gravel. They're coming to the water to go to the water.

432
00:31:57,050 --> 00:32:01,210
Public works, water treatment plants, and state centers.

433
00:32:04,750 --> 00:32:07,370
I think just state centers, right, Heidi?

434
00:32:09,950 --> 00:32:12,650
Yeah, the representatives is another tour.

435
00:32:12,910 --> 00:32:16,750
And actually, that one is November 13th.

436
00:32:16,750 --> 00:32:19,830
and we have five minutes to present for that

437
00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:22,550
and that's the Chanhas and Rex Center.

438
00:32:22,750 --> 00:32:25,550
So we'll all be in a line with our five minutes,

439
00:32:25,790 --> 00:32:27,970
probably, okay, oh boy, yeah.

440
00:32:28,730 --> 00:32:32,530
And who meets them, who represents Minotone Beach?

441
00:32:32,750 --> 00:32:32,930
Joe.

442
00:32:33,230 --> 00:32:35,030
Yeah, a lot of council is gonna be there.

443
00:32:35,250 --> 00:32:36,030
Okay, good, yeah.

444
00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:37,550
Thank you for doing it.

445
00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:39,990
Yeah, Joe will do the presentation

446
00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:41,850
and Alan Offerman, the city engineer,

447
00:32:41,850 --> 00:32:42,950
will also be presenting.

448
00:32:43,870 --> 00:32:45,290
And we've been working.

449
00:32:45,290 --> 00:32:58,570
Is it open public? What? Is it open to the public? No, because we don't have this case. Yeah, because it's in the building. Oh, okay. Yeah, still.

450
00:33:00,940 --> 00:33:02,080
Well, do our best.

451
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:04,220
I'm sure you will. Thank you.

452
00:33:04,220 --> 00:33:11,700
our best yeah it's it's very frustrating that our city income tax on average gives

453
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:16,180
3.4 million dollars to the state of Minnesota and we've seen zero dollars and

454
00:33:21,420 --> 00:33:31,020
the treatment

455
00:33:31,020 --> 00:33:31,880
And that's $5 billion?

456
00:33:32,260 --> 00:33:32,700
How much was it?

457
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:33,600
$15 billion.

458
00:33:34,180 --> 00:33:34,880
$15 billion.

459
00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:35,700
$480.

460
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:36,320
New 80.

461
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:37,040
Yeah.

462
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:39,280
Which effort they get from property taxes?

463
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,340
That's just income taxes.

464
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:40,720
And income tax.

465
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,740
That's not even a property tax.

466
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:42,080
Okay.

467
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
So that's not even a federal income tax.

468
00:33:46,660 --> 00:33:48,100
Or a state income tax, I don't remember.

469
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,260
Yeah, it's just a state income tax.

470
00:33:49,420 --> 00:33:50,940
So that's not even all the other.

471
00:33:53,820 --> 00:33:59,880
Very disheartening to see the lack of support for a community that desperately needs it.

472
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,340
So we're going to do our best.

473
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:05,320
That's all I have.

474
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:06,440
Okay, thank you.

475
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:09,340
Building permit.

476
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:12,520
So I saw you put in home sale in front of building permits.

477
00:34:12,940 --> 00:34:14,440
Is that going to be a record thing?

478
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:15,960
That was very good, you know.

479
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,720
I did it a while ago as an accident and you said you liked it.

480
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:19,340
Oh yeah.

481
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,640
I think it's great.

482
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:21,460
It's really interesting.

483
00:34:22,340 --> 00:34:23,720
I'll try to keep you remember, right?

484
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,800
I really liked the markdowns on the homes.

485
00:34:28,340 --> 00:34:30,060
On the list, I think that's interesting to see.

486
00:34:55,330 --> 00:34:58,370
too. You can see kind of the history.

487
00:35:02,310 --> 00:35:03,310
Yeah, I think it's

488
00:35:03,310 --> 00:35:04,310
L-M-C-C
