CITY OF GEM LAKE, RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />ORDINANCE NO. 121 (Summary) <br />SUMMARY PUBLICATION. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, § 412.191, a summary of <br />an ordinance may be published. While a copy of the entire ordinance is available without <br />cost at the office of the City Clerk, the following summary is approved by the City <br />Council and shall be published in lieu of publishing the entire ordinance: <br />Ordinance 121 amends the Zoning Ordinance to permit the installation of Wind Energy <br />Conversion Systems (WECS) within the City of Gem Lake. A WECS is permitted as an <br />accessory use on all property in the City. A City license is required to install and operate <br />a WECS larger than a certain size or installed taller than a certain height. The license is <br />valid for five years, and may be renewed. Ordinance 121 sets forth an application <br />procedure for licensed systems, and minimum standards to which all WECS must <br />conform. The owner of a WECS is responsible for maintenance and operation of the <br />system. Once a WECS is installed, if the system is not used for six months following a <br />City warning, the system is considered abandoned and must be removed. Ordinance 121 <br />is effective upon its publication. <br />j <br />
