Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 24, 2023 Page 4 Mr. Trudgeon explained from the staffs perspective, they did not feel that the interim use process can be supported if there is no State Law change. If there is a State Law change,then discussion can begin about the terms of the interim use based on the criteria. If the law did not pass,he thought staff has to look at that a little bit differently, given there is no ability for them to deviate from State Law, State Building Code, and City Code without lots of changes into their Code, as well as the State Building Code. If all of the conditions are not met, then the stay would end, and enforcement would begin. Boardmember Strahan asked who the open house is for and who will be advertised in that because clearly, where that is, there are no other homes directly within the five-hundred-foot radius. Mr. Trudgeon explained as a part of the interim use process, it is required under the Code for the proposer to hold an open house.He reviewed the open house protocols the City takes to communicate to surrounding residents. Boardmember Strahan asked if people outside of that area were welcome to attend and have a voice involved with that. Mr. Trudgeon indicated anyone can attend the open house. Boardmember Etten explained in the proposed Legislation, there are a number of Building Code and Safety pieces to that. He wondered if staff could report on what is in place,just based on what the units are right now and what needs to still be done. He noted it is really under the proposed Legislation, Subdivision 4. Mr. Trudgeon stated his understanding that not much of anything proposed in the legislation has been met currently as of today. He would say there is a provision for water and kitchen facilities that can be on adjacent properties, which is listed in Legislation, and what has been used to date in the current situation. But as far as anchoring, meeting certification for electrical and insulation and all of those things, that has not occurred. As noted in the submittal requirements, Prince of Peace, are working on a schedule and will submit it by June 2, 2023 as a part of their Interim Use on their schedule to get those improvements made. He also knew there have been ongoing conversations as recently as today with Settled and Contractors with the City's Building Official and Community Development Director about attempting to meet those standards and those conversations are ongoing. Boardmember Etten asked if the insulation and wall structures are not for sure right now.
