Discuss Contract with Ramsey County to Administer City Elections <br /> This item was taken up earlier in the meeting, between 10.d and 10.e. <br /> c. Discuss an Ordinance Amending Zoning Text pertaining to Variances <br /> Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon provided a brief summary of <br /> the request for approval of a zoning text amendment pertaining to variances (Proj- <br /> 0017). Mr. Trudgeon advised that recent legislation had provided more reasona- <br /> ble language allowing cities to grant variances; necessitating revisions to City Or- <br /> dinance that would be consistent with state statute, as drafted by the City Attor- <br /> ney. Mr. Trudgeon advised that this was for City Council review; and that staff <br /> planned to come forward at the next meeting for action. <br /> Councilmember Pust suggested the zoning text amendment be approved at to- <br /> night's meeting as presented. <br /> Pust moved, Willmus seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1413 (Attachment <br /> A) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Selected Text of Section 1009.04 (Va- <br /> riances) of Title 10 "Zoning Code" of the City Code." <br /> At the concurrence of City Attorney Gaughan, and due to its brevity, staff was di- <br /> rected to publish the entire ordinance rather than a summary. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Willmus; McGehee; Johnson; and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> 14.
