signatures had been signed. Mr. March explained an operational study for Peltier Lake Dam had been requested to either eliminate or modify the dam. The dam is still in the planning and modifying stage. Mr. LaMotte understood Roger Moore was spear heading the project and the three -foot addition to Peltier Lake Dam caused the lake elevation to drop. Further, the City of St. Paul placed rock around the edge of the lake twenty years ago to prevent erosion. Mr. March explained the residents on Peltier Lake Drive started a petition not to lower the lake by modifying the dam. Whereas, Bob Walls started a counter petition asking the dam be lowered. Bob Walls and other farm properties are suffering from standing water. Pawn Shy Ordinance - Ms. Broussard- Vickers explained the Coon Rapids Ordinance was more specific although she liked some issues presented in the Circle Pines Ordinance. Also, the City of Coon Rapids deals with precious metals and breaks down dealers. Mr. Tourville explained the difference in licenses, investigative and weapons control between the cities' ordinances. License Fees Investigative Weapons Circle Pines $15,000 $10,000 Ban on dealing in Coon Rapids $ 7,000 $ 250 handguns/weapons Ms. Broussard - Vickers felt Circle Pines was easier to read, whereas Coon Rapids is more difficult to understand. Mr. Tourville requested input from Lloyd Drilling since he was very active on this ordinance when he was on the Commission. Mr. Tourville also suggested checking the State Statutes for a redemption period. The Commission elected to cut and paste the Pawn Shop ordinances and bring the revised edition to the next meeting for further discussion. MOTION by Ms. Broussard- Vickers, seconded by Ms. Vermeulen to adjourn the April 1, 1997 Planning and Zoning Meeting. Meeting adjourned at 9:09 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Ry -Chel Gaustad City Clerk
