One-line summary

Council approved an ordinance allowing private/semi-private outdoor recreation as an interim use in the RRA district, handled multiple planning/zoning items (including a Carlson IUP approval and a Swanson flag-lot CUP approval), revoked Jerry Bauer’s CUP, approved the consent agenda, scheduled the Truth-in-Taxation hearing, approved a parking lot improvement plan, and took several council actions including tabling the 2015 sheriff contract and requiring payment of a disputed fire-call bill.

What was on the agenda

25 items as recorded in the packet and minutes, each with a short summary of what was at issue.

  1. PH-1An Amendment to the City of Nowthen Zoning Ordinance Allowing private and semi-private outdoor recreations uses as an interim use in the RRA District

    Rocket Club withdrew request for an IUP, which would have required the new zoning.

    The council held a public hearing on a zoning ordinance amendment to allow private and semi-private outdoor club recreational uses as an interim use in the RRA district, discussed the rocket club’s activities and the fact the original IUP request had been withdrawn, and ultimately adopted Ordinance 2014-08 with summary publication. Separately, when the MASA IUP item came up under Planning and Zoning, the council denied the IUP request because it was withdrawn.

    Adopted later as Ordinance 2014-08.
