I just want to say, you know, some of the the issues were well explained in the staff report as far as the setbacks go those are met and um we have some very specific ordinances that relate to operation of business um on on residential property and related to noise and I just want to let the neighbors know that we take those things seriously so um both for these property owners that they be sensitive to the concerns of their neighbors and um be good neighbors and also to the neighboring residents with the concerns that if there's something that comes up that they believe is a violation of the ordinance so please reach out to me or to staff and we can certainly get that addressed.

we used to have an ordinance requiring 10 in maximum uh for your lawn height the state has adopted something recently that only allows 8 in so that's um a new one for the city and then we also added some maintenance St standards for natural landscapes and I know you'll ask me what other cities have for in so I have a list um St Louis Park Maximum 6 in Eden Prairie and Hopkins have 10 so they're going to be changing their ordinances and then Plymouth and mapel Grove had eight so just for reference it's a little bit different in each City but um we are required to change our ordinance.

the proposed language uh basically would add except on the day of collection uh waste containers and we kind of consolidated all types of waste containers no matter what they're for for residential dwellings be located so they're not visible from adjacent streets or properties took this out of public view language out of there that we were struggling with um or at a minimum located behind the front building line of the dwelling.

So I I was um in my neighborhood at least and I think a lot of places people put their uh containers out the night before and so I was wondering if we could change the wording from of on the day of to allow people to put their their containers out the in the in the afternoon before.

the discussion really was about having some provision for overnight parking and that ended up being for the summer summer months so from uh April 30th to November 1st was the way in which uh the ordinance was drafted and basically that vehicles um it's actually the opposite in the during the months of November through April a vehicle must not park on a public Street between 2: a.m. and 6:00 a.m. and a vehicle must not be parked there any longer than 6 hours which is in the ordinance today.

what I can tell you Curr is that the enforcement of that 6-h hour time period is very difficult for us um we have don't have it's not something that we typically are enforcing to be honest with you um I think speaking to what uh M wishnack said is just we've we've seen some instances where they're not parking overnight but they'll move the vehicles to the street during the daytime so just having something to prevent the long-term storage of vehicles on the street is kind of the objective of that but it's not commonly enforced.

Not to make anything more complicated but I guess it does kind of D occur to me that if we are going to provide for overnights that maybe the 6 hours is too short and we should contemplate that maybe being eight.

It's essentially the South half of the properties that are owned by Mills church so uh the twin City's habitat for manity on behalf of the church has provided applications to the city for the construction of five twin home buildings so that's 10 housing units total two in um each of the five buildings.

the planed unit development District doesn't have those specific what we call Bulk standards so you know setbacks height things uh floor area ratios they don't it does not have a table that says these are the minimums for this particular district for this particular property it's by application by what the applicant wishes for the property and by what you as the council will approve for the property.

what tweaks to the project could be made to prevent us from needing a comprehensive guide plan Amendment because that's a whole other level of change and um and also I think it would be helpful for people at the meeting uh at the Planning Commission to have a good understanding of of what's involved in a comprehensive guide plan change.

I would just like the uh Planning Commission to look at issues it wasn't clear to me and maybe it will uh come forth in the more detailed plan but um you know if there's going to be an HOA involved with this how is ongoing maintenance going to be taken care of if these are Twin Homes you know the roof goes out things like that other things snow removal just kind of those nuts and bolts things um how would that be uh handled in this case um in particular.

this would be our third annual black party event and um it's a very familyfriendly event it starts with a fun run we have a bingo a magician act uh music in the evening and food trucks throughout the day and a lot of other miscellaneous activities throughout the day so everyone's encouraged to come and join us it starts at 9 goes until 8 in the evening.

I really appreciate our faith community having these events and um I think they enrich our um our community uh they build community and we thank you for all the work that our churches and our synagogues and our mosques do in our community to um to build our faith community and to um and to create community in our city.

This is for actual change to an existing liquor license in the city as you are aware that requires two hearings so we'll open the hearing tonight and then wait for all of the background information to be gathered and then make a final recommendation for you later.
