10. Ordinance amending Titles 4 and 11 of the City Code
Dan Licht presented an ordinance amending Titles 4 and 11 of the Lakeville City Code.
The proposed amendment would preclude motor vehicle salvage auction uses, and it
would allow the keeping of chickens on urban residential properties. Mr. Licht stated the
Planning Commission’s motion to approve the keeping of chickens failed on a three to
four vote. However, if keeping of chickens is allowed, the Planning Commission
recommends property owners apply for a one-time administrative permit and comply
with several performance standards as listed in the proposed ordinance. Ongoing
compliance with the performance standards would be on a complaint basis.
Mr. Licht also discussed the proposed amendment related to motor vehicle salvage
auctions. This type of use, he explained, is not consistent with the City’s economic
development goals. The keeping of junk motor vehicles, except as allowed by ordinance,
would be declared a nuisance. The ordinance also closes an unintended loop hole
City Council Meeting Minutes, July 2, 2018 Page 4
related to outdoor storage. The City Attorney has provided revised language related to
the definition of junk motor vehicles from the nuisance section of the zoning ordinance;
and staff recommends adoption of the ordinance as amended.
Council Member Hellier expressed concern that chickens will attract additional predator
animals to neighborhoods. Staff pointed out that the ordinance requires chickens to be
confined inside during the night.
Hellier stated he supports having an ordinance in place on the keeping of chickens, as it
encourages a more limited government by allowing people to have them.
Council Member LaBeau expressed concern that many homeowners’ associations do not
allow the keeping of chickens, and she felt many homeowners may not be aware of those
restrictions in their neighborhood.
Mr. Miller suggested that a statement reminding applicants to check with the provisions
of their individual homeowners’ associations can be included on the administrative
permit application.
Council Member LaBeau also expressed concern that adding an administrative permit for
the keeping of chickens will place an additional burden on City staff.
Mayor Anderson stated he supports having an ordinance in place for the keeping of
chickens in terms of enforcement and compliance, as well as an administrative permit fee
to cover staff time.
Mr. Morey concurred that this additional responsibility will be burdensome, at least
initially, as code enforcement and zoning permits are currently at a very high level.
Motion was made by Hellier, seconded by Wheeler, to adopt Ordinance No. 997
amending Titles 4 and 11 of the Lakeville City Code, as amended by the City Attorney.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes – LaBeau, Anderson, Wheeler, Hellier
Motion was made by Hellier, seconded by Wheeler, to adopt Summary Ordinance No.
997 for publication.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes – Anderson, Wheeler, Hellier, LaBeau
