LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 6, 2010 3 <br />Mike Sivigny, 5535 Lake Elmo Avenue N., emphasized freedom, permit a business to <br />operate the way they want. <br /> <br />Jeff Salus, 2950 Janero Avenue, asked that the City let them farm, it’s the American way. <br /> <br />Kevin Gorman, 11011 Stillwater Blvd. N., stated there are six families affected by this <br />decision. He asked the Council to table and makes a healthy decision on the ordinance. <br /> <br />Donald Slinger, 4620 Lake Elmo Avenue N., thought the ordinance was very restrictive <br />and harmful to our community. It should be expanded so any kid can sell <br />locally…maybe up to $5,000 in sales. <br /> <br />Sue Dunn, 11018 Upper 33rd Street, thought it was too stringent of an ordinance when <br />you know you can’t grow everything on your land. <br /> <br />Ann Sivigny, 5535 Lake Elmo Avenue N., stated the Bergmann’s welcome her to the <br />United States and employed her daughter. They have even dropped items off at their <br />residence. <br /> <br />Administrator Messelt noted that Council Member Smith, who was not in attendance, <br />indicated she favored the recommendation by the Planning Commission. Council <br />discussion continued on the proposed definition of “Wayside Stand”. <br /> <br />It was clear to the Council that the item under consideration was for wayside stands only <br />and that does not materially affect the Bergmann’s because they are not a wayside stand <br />business. <br /> <br />MOTION: Mayor Johnston moved to adopt Ordinance No. 08-026 amending the <br />definition of Wayside Stand in Section 11.01 of the City Code, pursuant to the unanimous <br />recommendation of the Planning Commission and the denoted findings of fact. Council <br />Member DeLapp seconded the motion. The motion passed 3-1: (Council Member Park <br />favored forming study committee.). <br /> <br />Home Occupations Ordinance No. 08-027 <br /> <br />The Council discussed the issue of enforcement of regulations stated in the ordinance. <br />Administrator Messelt noted that Council Member Smith requested via email this item be <br />extended to the next Council meeting. The consensus of the Council was to discuss this <br />agenda item at the July 20, 2010 City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Unswered Area Population Projections and Density Analysis – Review of 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan Information <br /> <br />The Council moved this agenda item to the July 13, 2010 City Council workshop. <br /> <br />
