Planning&Zoning Board <br /> September 8,2021 <br /> Page 6 <br /> commented, due to the lack of rain this year, the floating bogs are now anchored <br /> which makes it more difficult to access the lake. He said the water level is only a few <br /> feet deep and most of the lake is mud. Due to the lake's shallow condition, Mr. <br /> Gallop supported the idea of implementing a motor restriction on the lake. He <br /> commented even a small motor stirs up the mud and it produces an unpleasant smell. <br /> However, he said he would not recommend a boat restriction. He stated he served on <br /> the Shoreview Lake Regulations Committee for 15 years and during his time, the <br /> Committee implemented several regulations on the lake as requested by homeowners <br /> and lake associations. He said lake regulations need to be approved by the <br /> Department of Natural Resources. <br /> Chair Tralle explained it is not the Board's responsibility to regulate boat use. <br /> Moreover, he said it is likely the current condition of the lake would not entice <br /> boating enthusiasts. He thanked Mr. Gallop for attending the meeting. <br /> Mr. Reinert made a MOTION to recommend continuation of the public hearing for <br /> preliminary plat for Lake Amelia Woods. Motion was supported by Mr. Evenson. <br /> Motion carried 6—0. Chair Tralle abstained. <br /> B. PUBLIC HEARING: Interim Ordinance Creating a Moratorium for Mini Self- <br /> Storage Facilities <br /> Ms. Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. <br /> On October 9, 2019, the Planning& Zoning Board and staff discussed the possible <br /> need for additional regulations regarding mini self-storage facilities. Recently, staff <br /> received inquiries from developers wanting to construct more mini self-storage <br /> facilities. Since the City is currently updating its zoning ordinance, staff <br /> recommended a one (1) year moratorium on mini self-storage facilities to allow time <br /> to review and possibly amend the ordinance. <br /> Staff recommended approval of the interim ordinance creating a moratorium for mini <br /> self-storage facilities. <br /> Board Comments <br /> Mr. Wipperf firth asked if developers need to get a conditional use permit to build <br /> mini self-storage facilities. <br /> Ms. Larsen said yes, a conditional use permit is required. <br /> Mr. Wipperfurth questioned if a conditional use permit allows the City to enforce <br /> different restrictions and negotiate a procedure with the contractor. <br /> Ms. Larsen explained there are three required conditions of a conditional use permit <br /> and it is at the City's discretion to add other reasonable conditions.
