Love <br /> <br />I. CALL TO ORDER <br /> - The meeting was called to order by Chairman Mosher at 6:40 p.m.. <br /> <br /> <br />1.Roll Call <br /> <br />II. PUBLIC HEARING <br />– None. <br /> <br /> <br />III.OLD BUSINESS - <br />Snowmobile Regulations. <br /> <br />The Commission reviewed a draft snowmobile regulation that is also being considered by Circle <br />Pines, Lexington and Lino Lakes. The proposed draft significantly reduces the amount of <br />regulations in the code and would instead rely on state law for most rules. Major changes in the <br />text include a speed limit of 15 mph rather than the current 10 mph, and a single limit for hours of <br />operation rather than a separate more limiting weekday rule. <br /> <br />The Commission recommended that the text in paragraph XXX.03, A, 3, be changed to provide a <br />fifty foot operating limit from a lake shoreline instead of 100 feet. <br /> <br />The matter was tabled to September to see what the other cities have for comments. <br /> <br />IV. NEW BUSINESS <br />- Zoning Districts. <br /> <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson presented a proposal to modify the code to list the allowed uses in a <br />grid format rather than listing them in each section. The grid would be easier to use and at the <br />same time shorten the code by about four pages. <br /> <br />Consensus was that the format would be an improvement. The Commission reviewed the grid and <br />the uses in each zoning district. Several modifications were suggested to allow more uses in the <br />districts as either conditional or planned unit developments. The next step would be to schedule a <br />public hearing to give public notice of the changes to the code. <br /> <br />Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br />
