Planning Commission briefs council on minimum lot size, pending ordinances and a resident's dog-park request
Summary
Amanda Hawkins told the council the Planning Commission is awaiting a city-attorney opinion on minimum lot size, will forward draft cannabis and chicken ordinances for attorney review, and advised a resident who requested a dog park to consult with St. Joseph about liability handling.
Amanda Hawkins presented the Planning Commission's May 13 update: the commission is waiting for city-attorney Sue Dege to advise on minimum lot-size language. The commission discussed draft cannabis and chicken ordinances and intends to forward drafts to the city attorney for review before returning an ordinance recommendation to council.
A resident requested a dog park; Planning's guidance included consulting the city of St. Joseph about liability and policing. Planning also reported two permits issued so far in 2025 and two unresolved 2024 permits remaining; nuisance-ordinance work was tabled until the next meeting.
