_________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Work Session for July 18, 2016 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-020 - Opt-Out Ordinance - Mobile Residential <br />Homes\Memos_Reports_16-020 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />• The law requires applicants to provide proof of adequate septic service management. City <br />staff has concerns about the feasibility of providing safe, temporary septic services to <br />these types of structure and what the process would be for enforcement and mitigation if <br />there were a failure in these services. <br /> <br />• The law stipulates that applications must include proof of the provider network providing <br />the primary care for the resident in the dwelling unit, and written certification of the need <br />for assistance from a medical professional. This requirement places a burden on City staff <br />to review and properly manage this type of private medical documentation. <br /> <br />The League of Minnesota Cities has recommended that cities consider passing an opt-out <br />ordinance if they want to maintain their existing land use controls or develop customized <br />regulations that might allow this type of dwelling unit in some cases using a different review and <br />approval process. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Direct City staff and attorney to draft an Ordinance to opt-out of the requirements of Minnesota <br />Statutes, Section 462.3593 regarding temporary family health care accessory dwellings. A public <br />hearing would be required for the Ordinance and could be held by the Planning Commission on <br />August 3, 2016. The City Council could then review and take action on the Ordinance on August <br />8, 2016. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A. 2016 Minnesota Session Laws – Chapter 111 – Temporary Family Health Care <br />Dwellings <br />B. “Temporary Dwelling Legislation Becomes Law,” League of Minnesota Cities, May 16, <br />2016 <br />C.
