COUNCIL BUSINESS 8.01: Adopt Resolution #24-285 approving a variance and encroachment agreement for a lean-to structure and concrete slab at 6850 148th Lane NW (Michael Ploumen) Planning Manager Larson reviewed the Staff report in regard to a variance and an encroachment agreement request for a lean-to structure and concrete slab at 6850 148th Lane. He shared the Planning Commission's recommendation of approval. Motion by Councilmember Howell, seconded by Councilmember Olson,to adopt Resolution 424- 285 approving a variance to side yard setback and an encroachment agreement for a lean-to structure and concrete slab at 6850 148th Lane NW. Further discussion: Councilmember Woestehoff said he will not be voting in favor of this. He shared he would have been supportive if it was just for approval of the concrete slab; however, having a structure that close to the property line makes him nervous for future neighbors. Councilmember Riley stated this structure does not have walls on it which makes it different from the other request they had recently seen similar to this one. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Howell, Olson, Musgrove Riley, and Specht. Voting No: Mayor Kuzma and Councilmember Woestehoff. 8.02: Introduce Ordinance#24-13 Amending Section 106-105,Definition of Manufacturing Planning Manager Larson reviewed the Staff report concerning amending City Code and the definition of Manufacturing to include State-regulated cannabis cultivation. He shared the Planning Commission's recommendation of approval. Councilmember Howell asked if this would allow other things to be grown in pots and dirt or just cannabis. Planning Manager Larson explained that other crops that will be grown in dirt do not really need the same kind of security that these buildings offer, and this growing could take place out in a field. Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to waive the City Charter requirement to read the ordinance aloud and introduce Ordinance 424-13 amending Section 106-105 Zoning Code Definitions.
