<br />Mr. Jon Enstrom, 8702 - 181st Avenue NW, stated would like to see vehicles straightened up in <br />the City. However, having a farm he has a lot of concerns in limiting the number of vehicles. He <br />has many vehicles that cannot be licensed, and they are part of his every day business. He <br />suggested there should be some kind of exclusion for farms. <br /> <br />Interim Community Development Director Frolik indicated current City Code has a clause for <br />agricultural vehicles. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look pointed out that Subdivision 3 lists the area as residential development. <br /> <br />Interim Community Development Director Frolik requested direction from the Council in order <br />for staff to draft another ordinance.
