City Engineer Westby reviewed his staff report that was included in the case. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht commented that he would be happy to be involved as part of that process. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma referenced the Jarvis intersection noting that previously a J hook was mentioned, <br />but that has not been well received on 65 where it was constructed. He asked if that is still included <br />in the plan or could be changed. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied that they are currently looking at several alternatives in that area. <br />He noted that there are three intersections close together in that section and they are reviewing <br />which at grade improvement would be best for that area. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma commented that he does not support the J hook intersection. <br /> <br />2.03: Discuss Potential Ordinance to Clarify Rooster Restrictions <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill reviewed the staff report. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell stated that she likes hobby farms and that type of activity. She stated that <br />roosters are noisy and therefore one acre would seem small. She asked if there is a reason geese <br />and ducks are not allowed in the same manner chickens are allowed. She asked if one goat could <br />be allowed per half acre. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill commented that the City has not received requests for ducks <br />or geese. He stated that the City has received requests for racing pigeons but that generates a lot <br />of complaints. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley commented that he does not support roosters at this time as it would <br />generate complaints. He stated that residents have supported the chicken ordinance and has not <br />heard anyone complain that they could not have roosters. He stated that he supports the three-acre <br />threshold. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if it would make more sense to only allow these activities on <br />rural developing zoned property, which begins at 2.5 acres, to simplify the language. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill commented that could be done but there are parcels within <br />that zoning district that are only one acre in size. He stated that could be done but more detailed <br />thought would go into that review. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that he would imagine there are more 2.5 acre lots compared <br />to lots over three acres. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill commented that the current lot minimum within the rural <br />developing district is 2.5 acres but noted that there are thousands of lots within that district that <br />were created before that minimum was set and therefore are one acre in size. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / May 11, 2021 <br />Page 3 of 10 <br /> <br />
