Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 898, Amending City Code 6 <br />Chapter 607 in Regards to Storage of Fish Houses in Front Yard Areas. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Planning Associate Heller reviewed a proposed Ordinance amendment regarding fish houses in 9 <br />front yard areas. She explained that fish houses were sometimes brought home when not on the 10 <br />lake. She noted that City Code currently states that fish houses are not allowed to be stored in 11 <br />front yards for longer than 24 hours. She provided comment on the discussion held at the 12 <br />Planning Commission level regarding fish houses. It was noted the proposed amendment would 13 <br />allow for the storage of drop axle fish houses at any time, while all other fish houses would only 14 <br />be allowed for 24 hours. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Council Member Gunn thanked staff for the work completed on this code amendment. She 17 <br />believed the proposed language was very clear. 18 <br /> 19 <br />Council Member Meehlhause requested further information on how City Code addressed 20 <br />snowmobiles and snowmobile trailers. Planning Associate Heller discussed City Code regarding 21 <br />snowmobiles, trailers and RV’s. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Mayor Flaherty suggested that the term “commercially manufactured” be placed in front of drop 24 <br />axle fish houses. He stated this would require that older model fish houses could not be placed 25 <br />on a drop-axle trailer and be allowed to be stored in front yards. Planning Associate Heller stated 26 <br />this may raise some concern due to the fact that Mr. Pearson built his own fish house on a drop 27 <br />axle trailer. 28 <br /> 29 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Gunn.

Resolution of Support for the League of Minnesota Cities Transportation 36 <br />Bill. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Council Member Mueller stated at the League of Minnesota Cities meeting last Thursday, a 39 <br />representative encouraged member cities to support the League’s proposed dedicated State 40 <br />funding for local streets. She reported that 80% of cities were not eligible to receive MSA 41 <br />funding and were therefore struggling to fund their street projects. She discussed the 42 <br />Transportation Bill in further detail and recommended the Council adopt a Resolution of 43 <br />Support. 44 <br /> 45
