MEMORANDUM <br />To:Mayor Webster and St. Anthony Village City Council <br />From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner <br />Date:City Council Meeting – July 9, 2024 <br />GC Project No.140.00 <br />Request:Beekeeping – Ordinance No. 2024-02 – Third Reading <br />Property Address: NA <br />Property PID:NA <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />Staff is bringing the proposed beekeeping ordinance changes to the City Council for the third of <br />three readings. At the June 25, 2024 meeting, the Council forwarded the second reading <br />following updates made to the proposed regulations relating to questions around whether <br />notice of a neighboring bee-sting allergy should disqualify the application, or whether such <br />notice should merely inform the Council’s consideration of an application. The Council also <br />sought information on how other communities treat this matter (neighbor allergies), and how <br />that issue might relate to general nuisance considerations. <br />CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br />Staff requests that the City Council approve the third reading of the attached Ordinance No. <br />2024-02, adopting the ordinance in final form. <br />As before, staff continues to recommend that the moratorium ordinance enacted last August <br />continue in force as further materials are generated by the State of Minnesota over the next <br />several months. <br />The material below was included as a part of the original Council packets for first and second <br />reading, and is included again for additional background if needed. <br />BACKGROUND <br />Staff has investigated these issues with the Code Compliance Officer who conducted the <br />primary research for the Parks and Environmental Commission’s ordinance work. The Code <br />Officer indicated that other community ordinances were reviewed in summary, and the PEC’s <br />work represents the dominant themes that arose from that review. <br />61
