VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried B. Introduction for First Reading of Ordinance No. 594, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 606-607 and 1005 of the Mounds View Municipal Code related to the requirement to mow tall grasses and creating an exemption for wetland and native vegetation. Ms. Sheldon explained that this ordinance would make some modifications to the city's requirement that tall grasses over eight inches be mowed (Nuisance Code). She noted that at the February 24, 1997 Council meeting, some concern was raised over one of the exemptions to the requirements to mow (#3). It was felt at that time that native vegetation on individual lots may spread to neighboring lots and cause problems. At that time, the Council asked staff to back to the Planning Commission to discuss it fiuther and determine if some type of modification should be made. The Planning Commission recommended a modified version of exemption #3, which Ms. Sheldon proceeded to read to the Council. The other option (#2) would be to drop Item #3 altogether. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Trude to approve the introduction of Ordinance No. 594, An Ordinance Amending Chapters 606, 607 and 1005 of the Mounds View Municipal Code Related to the Requirements to Mow Tall Grasses and Creating an Exemption for Wetland and Native Vegetation, Option #1, and to waive the reading.
