MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, June 8, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />5. LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT (LMCD) 2016 BUDGET <br />LMCD Representative Jabbour stated the LMCD budget as proposed has not decreased drastically but the <br />overall levy has decreased by 10.4 percent. The majority of the Executive Committee voted in favor of <br />reducing the levy. <br />Mayor McMillan thanked Gabriel Jabbour for his hard work on persuading the LMCD to make some <br />reductions. <br />Jabbour stated in his view the LMCD budget has become very routine and there is little discussion about <br />the budget prior to voting on it, which he hopes to change in 2016. Jabbour indicated he is now going to <br />try to persuade the LMCD that not all the money in the budget needs to be spent. ' <br />Council Members Walsh and Cornick thanked Gabriel Jabbour for his work on the budget. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS — DENISE LESKINEN, REPRESENTATIVE <br />Representative Leskinen stated she had nothing to report but would be available for questions. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />None <br />PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br />6. #15-3732 AMEND SECTION 78-1 DEFINITIONS — RE: BARBER SHOPS AND <br />BEAUTY SHOPS — ORDINANCE NO. 150 <br />City Planner Curtis stated Staff is proposing an amendment to the zoning code to define beauty shops and <br />barber shops, which are currently undefined in the Code. The City was recently approached with a <br />request to operate what was described as a high-end nail salon in an existing building in Navarre. Barber <br />shops and beauty shops are permitted uses within the B-1 retail sales business district, the B-3 shopping <br />center district, and the B-5 limited neighborhood business district. <br />Staff is not proposing a change but rather to add a definition and for the types of services to be provided <br />so that when a similar question comes up, Staff would be better to answer it. Curtis noted it is not <br />unusual for the use to be specifically defined and this is an opportunity for the City to put some <br />parameters on the use. <br />The Council is asked to review and discuss the proposed definition as well as the ordinance as drafted. <br />Planning Staff recommends approval of the draft ordinance. <br />Mayor McMillan asked if there are any public comments regarding this item. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Council Member Cornick asked if Staff can add hair replacement to the list. <br />Page 2 of 19 <br />
