I. CALL TO ORDER

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