Specifically there is concern about the tenants who are causing disturbances in the neighborhood such as drinking, noise, dog issues, and generally inappropriate behavior in public. Some residents indicated they like the area, but feel the only option left to them is to place their homes up for sale and move. There are no ordinances or regulations regarding rental housing in the City. OPTIONS: 1) Hold a "citizen" forum on rental housing in the City to seek input and ideas from the community 2) Research other communities regarding rental housing regulation or licensing program. 3) Other possible suggestions 4) Do nothing ATTACHMENTS: none CITY OF LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 ITEM: 19E — Campfires / Recreational Burning DESCRIPTION: A resident called and stopped in at city hall to discuss with us the issue of burning in the city. The concern is the amount of burning and the times in which burning takes place in the city. The resident feels that the city is somewhat negligent in allowing a "nuisance" to exist in the city without taking appropriate action to control the nuisance. The stated nuisance is smoke and such entering homes as a result of back yard fires. I looked up State statutes and there is no reference regarding "recreational burning". There is only reference to campfires and open burning. There are restrictions to campfires in that they must be no larger then three feet x three feet and used for cooking, warming, or ceremonial purposes. The City of Lauderdale has no ordinance regarding back yard fires other then requiring the resident to obtain a permit from Falcon Heights. OPTIONS: 1) Revise the City of Lauderdale ordinance and provide a time frame for allowable burning (it is now generally considered to be 6 p.m. to 8 a.m.) 2) Prohibit "recreational fires" in the city. 3) Some other regulation or control 4) Do nothing ATTACHMENTS: none
