Ayes - Hellier, LaBeau, Anderson, Wheeler 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.
