Second by Carroll. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Carroll. Nays: None. Motion camed. Kennel Ordinance Amendment Assistant to the Administrator Walsh reviewed the amendment for kennel and cattery registration that would require a public hearing and notice to neighbors within 150 feet of the property. The current ordinance requires written permission from all abutting property owners within 300 feet.This amendment will shift the veto ability to City Council rather than a single neighbor and therefore allow a more equal and fair process. Renewals are also provided for in the amendment, allowing them to be continued unless four complaints have been filed through the police department. This is the first reading of the amendment. Action on the recommendation will be taken at the next regular City Council meeting. Construction 70 Rezoning and Concept Planned Unit Development Community Development Director Rogness presented a concept planned unit development (PUD) for two new trucking terminals, Wayne Transports and Fleet Development. Also included in the PUD is the Solberg Aggregate property recommending its access on CR 42 be changed to Conley Avenue. Conley Avenue would become a new frontage road that connects 140th Street East to Country Road 42 and the 42/52 interchange. This would improve transportation safety. The proposed storm water ponding may change if the neighboring golf course would be willing to allow some ponding on their fairway. Discussions will follow. Additional landscaping will be added on the western border.No action will be called for this evening due to not having a 4/5 vote present for the rezoning application. Mineral Extraction Permit Renewal for Furlong/Cemstone Community Development Director Rogness reported that Tom Furlong is requesting that the mineral extraction permit be renewed with him as owner/operator removing Cemstone from the permit. Activity has been limited to date, but Furlong will be building a golf course in Nininger Township 2 ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR IYIEETING MARCH 16, 1999 and will need material from this property.
