MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 25, 2026 The Community Development Director commented that the CUP includes details about the function. He stated that an added condition could be placed upon the CUP related to use if there was concern, although he recognized that it may be difficult to enforce. He confirmed that a request for an ADU would need to come back to the City for approval. Miller agreed that this type of structure would generate less noise than a sport court. Kwapick commented that he asked about plumbing, as that would be needed for an ADU and would be a larger expense to add in the future. Mayor Fischer stated that he would like to have some level of screening required, such as plantings and bushes. The Community Development Director provided language that could be added to the fourth condition. Mr. Schwalbach provided additional comments on his thoughts, and Mayor Fischer found that to be reasonable. Kwapick introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2026-2-22 — APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A DETA CHED A CCESSOR Y B UILDING A T 2912 VANDERBIE STREET WITH THE ADDITIONAL CONDITION THAT A LANDSCAPING PLAN MUST BE SUBMITTED TO CITY STAFF The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Miller. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. ORDINANCE 930, AMENDING ZONING CODE CHAPTER 910 SHORELAND DISTRICT The Community Development Director explained that this ordinance represents the final component of the City's broader accessory structures and buildings code update, addressing regulations that apply specifically within the Shoreland Overlay District. The primary objective of this amendment is to allow water -oriented accessory structures (WOGS) on residential shoreland lots under clearly defined and enforceable standards. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) staff identified several existing deficiencies in Chapter 910 that extend beyond the proposed WOAS change. He reviewed the proposed changes. Gutierrez referenced the identification of tributaries and asked about the impact that would have on a property. The Community Development Director replied that it would have a non -consequential impact on that property. He explained how they will model to determine the portion of the lot that would be impacted, noting that they will continue to work with the DNR. Mayor Fischer recognized that change would impact the Ryan Industrial Park and a number of City - owned properties that would be developed in the future. He asked if approving this language would reduce leverage in how this would impact the city. 3
