City Council Minutes <br /> April 1, 2024 <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br /> 6. Planning &Zoning <br /> 6.1 Letter to Council Re: Request to have Chickens on UR Property <br /> Mayor Gardner says he personally does not have any issues with having <br /> chickens, with the condition of not having roosters. He states the property is <br /> Urban Residential. Council Member Larson states the City of Nisswa recently <br /> went through this change, so she reviewed what they had done. She says it <br /> would need to be a minimum of a half-acre lot and no more than 7 chickens, as <br /> well as no roosters. She says if we took that approach and add a little more <br /> specific details it would be a good direction, including no free-range chickens. <br /> Council Member Pederson confirms with Zoning Administrator Traci Pederson <br /> she will research into the option and see what is appropriate for this situation. <br /> She also clarifies what it means from an ordinance perspective. <br /> 6.2 Zoning Administrator's Monthly Report <br /> Report is provided for Council review. <br /> 6.3 Peterson Path Right of Way Vacation <br /> Mayor Gardner recaps the issue. The right-of-way comes right close to the <br /> building because of the old highway. His understanding is it was more of a <br /> recording issue with it not being turned back to the City after the highway project <br /> was completed. The property owner is requesting the City vacate the right of <br /> way. The right-of-way is quite large for that type of property. City Engineer Tim <br /> Houle states after speaking with the State and County, this should be more of a <br /> recording process than anything. Mayor Gardner clarifies that the expense of <br /> getting this completed would be the responsibility of the landowner. Ms. Duus <br /> also says the landowner has already paid into escrow. There is a unanimous <br /> consensus to move forward with the process to vacate right of way. <br /> 7. Fire <br /> 7.1 Fire District Report <br /> Report provided. <br /> 8.
