Public Hearing ? Consider Amendments to Ordinance 126 Governing the Licensure and Regulation or Rental Housing in the City of Medicine Lake, MN

1

Mayor Marks introduced the topic and Councilor Shaffer provided an update on the rental ordinance history and summarized the proposed changes to the current ordinance. Proposed changes are: definition of rental dwelling, minimum of 180 consecutive days, and financial obligations as written in the proposed ordinance.

Mayor Marks opened the public hearing at 6:16pm ? Les Young, 155P, disagrees with the change in the definition of rental dwelling. The proposed change would make the city more restrictive than the State of Minnesota homesteading rules and also more restrictive than the City of Plymouth and seems to negatively affect two long time citizens of Medicine Lake. He provided handouts. ? Janet Carlson, 202P disagrees with the changes to Ordinance 126. She is against the change in definition of rental dwelling and the 180 minimum day requirement. The proposed ordinance would not allow her elderly parents to reside in the home they own next door, and would not allow others to reside and `house sit" in her home while they take winter "snowbird" vacations. She provided a written statement. ? Therese Polum, 155P, disagrees with the change in the definition of rental dwelling and the 180 minimum day requirement. She anticipated the minimum day would be more along the lines of 30-60 days. ? Jessie Swanson, 189P, disagrees with the change in the definition of rental dwelling and the 180 minimum day requirement. He wants his mother to be able to live in his home in the future. ? Grant Carlson, 204P, disagrees with the change in the definition of rental dwelling and the 180 minimum day requirement. He also disagrees with not using the term short term rental. He encourages the city to look at others options to address this issue. He provided his views from his perspective as a landlord across three states. ? Shaun Kennedy, 215P, is wondering how ownership is determined and how this affects his children from staying in his house ? Mary Anne Young, 155P, is against short term rentals. She provided examples from their experience renting out home next door to their house and some of the issue they had over the many years. ? Clint Carlson, 202P, is against the proposed changes and provided and handout with his thoughts. He would like the council to further study the topic.

Mayor Marks closed the public hearing at 6:39pm

The Council and attendees continued to discuss the details of the proposed ordinance ? Les Young provided his interpretation of the survey results ? Shaun Kenney spoke to where the proposed ordinance is unclear and where it contradicts itself and he is also wondering where owner occupancy is defined. He also spoke to his interpretation of the survey results. While he understands the intent the language is not correct for the intent. ? Hennepin County Sheriff Sergeant Nelson was present for this and was asked by council if he uses information (`list') provided from other cities to determine who is living in a place, he stated he does not know of any `list' and has not used a list provided by a city. The Sheriff's department uses tax records and other methods to determine who lives in a residence. ? Councilmembers are wondering if this does not allow 30-day extensions. This is not the intent. ? Council is wondering if they want to rent out their house for 30 days while they are in Florida do they need a rental license? and yes they would. ? Council is wondering if they have a relative stay in their house for some time period while they are in Florida, does this preclude that? ? Council is wondering what hardship is created by the 180-day requirement
