MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,Apri110,2017 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 23. #17-3924 CITY OF ORONO,TEXT AMENDMENT: REPEAL OF CONDITIONAL USE <br /> PERMIT—ORDINANCE NO. 192,Third Series (Continued) <br /> Mattick stated it would be a lot easier if it was as simple as knocking on the say and saying I am <br /> inspecting,but it is not that simple. Mattick noted this very issue is before the Supreme Court right now <br /> about what it takes to enter someone's property in the context of apartment rentals. Mattick stated he is <br /> not aware of anything that allows the City to enter someone's property if they are denied entry. <br /> Mattick stated in light of what is before the Supreme Court currently,if the Supreme Court changes the <br /> rules,the City will be back revising this again. Mattick stated the language is just simply meant to be a <br /> reflection of what the law is currently. <br /> Seals asked if Mr.Johnson has concerns about the marina next to him not following their conditional use <br /> permit. <br /> Johnson stated the conditional use permit for the marina is very well written but not all conditional use <br /> permits are well written and some are not enforced. <br /> Seals moved,Crosby seconded,to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 192,Third Series, an Ordinance <br /> Amending the Code of Ordinances Pertaining to the Review of Conditional Use Permits Upon <br /> Neighbors Petition. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> 24. #17-3926 CITY OF ORONO,TEXT AMENDMENT: EXEMPTION FOR <br /> GOVERNMENT SIGNS—ORDINANCE NO. 193,Third Series <br /> Barnhart stated this is an ordinance that attempts to give governments the ability to erect signs on their <br /> properties for government purposes. Currently City Code prevents signs from being erected by the City, <br /> Hennepin County,and/or the State of Minnesota in the rights-of-ways, such as regulatory signs. This <br /> ordinance attempts to clarify that government signs are exempt from the sign code. <br /> Barnhart noted this issue came to Staff's attention by the Hennepin County Water Patrol. The Water <br /> Patrol has identified a goal to install public service signs on the bridges. During the review process, Staff <br /> realized the City had nothing to regulate those signs and technically they are prohibited. This ordinance <br /> will allow signs for government agencies to be placed within the right-of-way. <br /> Page 20 of 26 <br />
