Home My WebLink About7.a. Hunting Map Amendment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Meeting: June 6, 2017 AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing and Approval of Hunting Ordinance Amendment with Map AGENDA SECTION: Public Hearing PREPARED BY: Kim Lindquist, Community Development Director AGENDA NO. 7.a. ATTACHMENTS: Resolution; Ordinance Amendment; Hunting Map APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Motion to Approve Hunting Ordinance Amendment 2. Motion to adopt a Resolution authorizing publication of a summary of Ordinance No. 2017-04 amending City Code Chapter 5, 7-5-2 & 7-5-7 relating to Hunting in the City. SUMMARY The owner of the undeveloped section of the Rosemount Business Park had requested that he be allowed to conduct some hunting in the area. His ownership is approximately 168 acres. In discussions with the Police Chief, it was felt that some hunting could be permitted within the undeveloped Business Park area, so long as there was an adequate buffer from the public roadway and developed sites. While reviewing this topic, staff also reviewed the adopted hunting map and made some modifications in the central portion of the City, near Akron Avenue. Development in the area or approvals for future development, have prompted some additional modifications to the map. Finally, because development is not uniform, staff is proposing to modify the hunting ordinance to solely utilize a map to regulate hunting areas; whether it is bow and arrow, gun or both. Previously the ordinance listed in narrative form properties where hunting could take place. Use of a map will be easier to describe and would be clearer for the public. The hunting map is posted on the City’s website. CONCLUSION Periodically the City should review the hunting ordinance due to changes in circumstances on lands within the community. Because of development near Akron Avenue, and the request of a property owner, staff has recommended modifications to the hunting ordinance. Additionally, staff is recommending regulating hunting via map versus the current system which narrates the locations for hunting. The proposed ordinance modifications reflect the hunting location changes and the hunting location administration. The notice regarding modifications to the hunting ordinance has been published. The City Council is scheduled to hold the public hearing and if there are no comments that warrant ordinance amendments, staff is requesting the Council take action on the ordinance. Staff is also requesting that the Council approval a resolution which allows the City to summarize the ordinance amendment rather than publish the entire ordinance. RECOMMENDATION Hold the public hearing and approval of the ordinance amendment if there are no substantive requests for modification. Approve the resolution permitting publication of an ordinance summary.
