MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 27, 2004 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />(PUBLIC COMMENTS, Continued) • <br />have them reduce their hours of operation, but could not find any paperwork which supported their <br />business and gun club. <br />Moorse stated that he was unsure whose jurisdiction the gun club of Wayzata would fall and <br />indicated that he had asked the Orono Police department to investigate this. <br />Attorney Barrett stated that, unless the City has licensing authority over the Country Club, the <br />jurisdiction would likely fall within Wayzata. <br />Dunlap stated that, although no paperwork seems to exist, Wayzata told him that the club was <br />grandfathered in. He believed that Orono residents should have some rights regarding the gun club <br />in its midst. <br />Murphy encouraged staff to determine whose jurisdiction the club falls under and whether the <br />activity is appropriate, though it has been there for a long time. He suggested Dunlap be contacted <br />once the jurisdiction has been determined. <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />4. #02 -2830 CITY OF ORONO, BUILDING HEIGHTS CODE AMENDMENTS — <br />ORDINANCE NO. 18,3 d SERIES <br />Murphy asked why the Building Height Code Amendment is significant at this time. • <br />Gaffron stated that the amendment to the code will reflect the current policies which have been in <br />place since 2001. The language will clarify the policy that height shall meet the 2 %2 story limitation <br />AND the 30' limitation, as well as, define a half story and the measurement at which the highest <br />point is clarified when dormers and windows exist within the roof system. He emphasized the <br />importance of clarifying for the public how building height is determined, since these current <br />policies are already being enforced. <br />Sansevere questioned whether these changes will clarify for builders, architects, and the public <br />what the City's intent is. <br />Gaffron stated that these changes should help to close the current loopholes being used by those <br />individuals. <br />Murphy moved, McMillan seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 18,3 rd Series, an <br />Ordinance amending Section 78 -1 and Sections 78 -78 -230 (A), 255 (A), 305 (A), 330 (A), 350 <br />(A), 370 (A), 395 (A), 420 (A), 44 (A), 502, 572, 646 (T), 672 (A), 707 (N), 736 (I), 766 (I), 797 <br />(D), and 825 (D) regarding building heights.
