City Council meeting of November 20, 2000 Page 2 APPROVAL OF CLAIMS Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the claims for November 20, 2000 as presented. CREEKVIEW PRESERVE SETBACK DETERMINATION In review of a recent building permit application, staff found a discrepancy between the zoning regulations and the approved preliminary and final plat. The building permit in question identified a 50' setback from JD3. In review of the City's shoreland regulations, staff found that JD3 is also classified as a tributary stream, which requires a 100' setback. In discussing this matter with the developer's engineer, he indicated that the Council approved a 50' setback from the stream/ditch. Since the City approved the preliminary and final plat with a 50' setback from the ditch, City staff recommended the City continue issuing building permits, provided the homes are setback at least 50' from the centerline of the ditch. Adoption of the Consent Agenda authorized the building official to issue building permits, provided the homes are setback at least 50' from the centerline of the ditch. RICO'S PARKING At the request of a resident, Council member Deb Barnes had placed this issue on a previous Council agenda for discussion. Staff was directed to research and review the issue, and provide a determination as to what could be done to increase the safety for patrons who park in the Ricci's parking lot, immediately adjacent to Oneka Lake Blvd. (COUNCIL MEMBER PETRYK LEFT THE MEETING AT 7.25 PM). Barnes made motion, Stoltzman seconded, to accept the recommendation of the Community Development Director, John Rask, that signs should be installed on the property that caution customers when backing out of the stalls onto 147x' Street. Staff is also directed to research traffic accidents at this location and report back to the Council All aye. Motion Carried. APPEAL DANGEROUS DOG DETERMINATION BY CITY On July 25, 2000, Mayme Vail, 92 years old, was walking on the sidewalk in front 5546 14P Street, when a dog, "Harley", bit Mrs. Vail on the leg. After a report was filed with the Washington County Sheriffs Department, the City Attorney followed up with a letter to a Gerald Kenneth Eide, and notified him that the dog, "Harley", was declared to be a "potentially dangerous dog" within the definition in Hugo City Code. The dog's owner, Heather Anderson, who submitted a letter appealing the decision of the City Attorney, contacted City staff. Staff reviewed Hugo City Code, Chapter 30, regulating dogs, and believes that the dog clearly qualifies under two of the three sections in the City's definition for potentially dangerous dog. To date, the dog has not been licensed, as required by City ordinance; however, Ms. Anderson would like to appeal the determination of a "potentially dangerous dog" to the Council to allow her to keep the dog in the City. Ms. Anderson did not attend tonight's meeting to defend her case. Leroux made motion, Barnes seconded, to accept the recommendation of the City Attorney, and
