Attached is a draft of the proposed housing code. It is being
provided at this time for your review. At the next Regular Council
Meeting your comments will be solicited.
We will incorporate your comments and then make presentations' to
the Chamber of Commerce and Dakota County Board of Realtors. We
have planned the presentation to the Chamber at their regular
meeting in November. We will also present it to the Board of
Realtors in November. A final draft will be compiled and presented
for your comments the first meeting in December. The final draft
and adoption is planned for the second December meeting so that
enforcement may begin in January 1995 .
Your comments are necessary so that we may include language to
cover the scope of the ma.jority. In other words, should we address
only the exterior of residential property; only rental property; or
all buildings in Rosemount?
The attached memo from Dave McKnight outlines the approach we are
currently proposing.
This is a major opportunity for the City. We can affect property
values as well as health and safety of Rosemount residents'. Please
share comments and ideas with us.

FROMs Dave McKaight, Code Enforcemeat Officer
RE: IIpdate on Housing Maiateaance Ordiaaace developmeat.
This memo is to update you on the progress of the Housing
Ma.intenance Ordinance that I am developing for the City. With
the guidance of Ron Wasmund, the two main issues that the
ordinance covers are that of exterior maintenance of the home and
the condition and maintenance of the grounds . The area of
exterior home maintenance covers a variety of issues that will
help promote the appearance of areas, safety factors, and home
values in the city.
The ordinance itself states the purpose behind it, gives the
legislative finding behind this type of ord�.ance, defines the
terms used in the ordinance, lists what is considered a public
nuisance under the ordinance, and finally goes into enforcement
and abatement procedures. The ordinance lists the following acts
as public nuisances; maintains or permits an unfavorable building
appearance or level of maintenance; ma.intains or permits
buildings or structures which endanger public safety, health, or
property within the city; maintains or permits garbage or refuse
to be placed or stored in yards; and a special provisions section
on lawn maintenance.
I have included a section that authorizes the appropriate city
official to enter premises to inspect for code violations if
proper notice is given to the occupants of the residence. I
realize that this is a situation that is often times not popular
with the public, but I thought this should at least be in the
ordinance to protect against and give this ordinance some
authority for such things as garbage houses, etc.
I have distributed a rough draft to some staff inembers for their
comments and suggestions. The rough dra�� that I put together
was based on a number of ordinances that are already in place in
other municipalities. If you have any questions or would like a
copy of the draft ordinance please feel free to contact me at
city hall . Thanks.

been left, r allowed to go, unmaintained. These
have been a cepted by the vast majority of the City
residents a ' appropriate and as part of the unique
quality of ]�ife in this community. There are
community e�pectations, however, that once an area
has been di�turbed, landscaped, or otherwise
ma.intained, Ithat area will continue to be maintained
in a consist�.ent ma.nner. When vegetation in that
area is not continually maintained, it becomes
aestheticall�y unpleasing and violates community
standards. IProperty which appears neglected may
decrease th� value of adjacent properties. In
addition, i� vegetation is not properly maintained,
there may b� the following adverse impacts` on public
health, saf�ty, and welfare:
a. Undesi' able vegetation such as common
buckth' rn, quackgrass, and other weeds may
invade,��and threaten to supplant other more
desira le vegetation,
b. Vegeta�ion which causes allergic reactions,
such a ragweed, may develop, and

roads �ay impair visibility when entering or

determined from time to time, to be noxious
weeds pursuant to Minnesota Statute 18 . 171,
subdivision 5 .

burdock, common cocklebur, crabgrass,
dandelions, jimsonweed, quackgrass, common and

example, a tree seedling is a weed in a
vegetable garden. A property owner ma.y
establish that a plant or plants are not
horticulturally out of place by providing a
written landscape plan for the area in
question, complete with a listing and
locations of plant species. The plants
specifically listed above may not be included

protection of the health and safety of the people shall
prevail . In any case where a provision os this chapter
is found to be in conflict with a provision of any other
ordinance or code of the City existing on the effective
date of this Chapter which establishes a lower standard
