MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />AUGUST 11, 2016 <br /> <br /> - 8 - <br /> <br />The City Planner stated that at the last Planning Commission meeting, he <br />discussed the new law passed this spring that requires cities to allow <br />temporary health care dwellings, unless the city takes action to opt-out of <br />the law by September 1, 2016. He recommended that the City opt-out <br />since the law is written in a way that does not serve the interests of the <br />City or the area population very well. He noted that if the Commission <br />would like to accommodate something like this, a future discussion can <br />take place and details that are better suited for Little Canada could be <br />added to the City Code. <br /> <br />Davison stated he hasn’t heard of much demand in Little Canada for these. <br />The City Planner stated that occasionally the City will get asked if a <br />second dwelling can be constructed, but the City Code does not currently <br />allow that. He explained that people are told that their home can be <br />modified to accommodate family members. <br /> <br />Buesing recommended approval for Little Canada to opt-out of the <br />requirements for Minnesota Statutes Section 462.3593, temporary family <br />health care dwellings. <br /> <br />Motion seconded by Sandell. <br /> <br />Motion carried 5 – 0. <br /> <br /> <br />ADJOURN There being no further business, Duray adjourned the meeting at 9:45 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Heidi Heller <br /> City Clerk <br />OPT-OUT OF <br />REQUIRE- <br />MENTS FOR <br />MINNESOTA <br />STATUTES, <br />SECTION <br />462.3593 – <br />TEMPORARY <br />FAMILY <br />HEALTH CARE <br />DWELLINGS
