Fireworks OrdinanceCITY OF ROSEMOUNT SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA MEMO APRIL 16, 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: APRIL 17, 2003 AGENDA: FIREWORKS ORDINANCE AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS PREPARED BY: JAMIE VERBRUGGE, CITY ADMINISTRATOR 10. C AGENDA NO: ATTACHMENTS: MAP OF GAS STATIONS WITH 500' BUFFER APPROVED BY: Staff has notified the NDC Chambers of Commerce that an ordinance restricting the sale of fireworks will have its first reading at the City Council on April 17. The Chamber will likely send out an informational fax to Rosemount members. At this time, I do not have an idea how much interest there will be from the business community in this ordinance. A number of cities have enacted licensing requirements and fees. Additionally, the ordinance would restrict the sale or use of fireworks within 500' of a service station or convenience store. The intent of this provision is to limit the opportunity for the lighting of fireworks inclose proximity to flammable materials that may be present. Attached is a map that demonstrates the 500' buffer around service stations and convenience stores. As is evident on the map, a good number of properties would be prohibited from the sale or use of fireworks. Staff will do additional research prior to the meeting regarding which of these are retail operations, or within a zoning district that permits retail use. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. RECOMMENDED ACTION: First reading. No action necessary. Second reading to be scheduled.
