CONSIDER CITY CODE AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 3 LIQUOR CONTROL Mr. Dickinson explained cities in Minnesota have the ability to choose whether to allow Sunday sales for off -sale intoxicating licenses. By approving the amendments, Sunday sales would be © allowed for off -sale intoxicating licenses in the City. The approval of the City Code is a policy decision by the City Council. The ordinance has been reviewed by Administration and the City Attorney for legal and form. Mayor Trude stated this is an opportunity to clean up the City Code.

CONSIDER CITY CODE AMENDMENT TO TITLE S, CHAPTER 1B EQUINES Mr. Janish stated the current City Code requires the consultation of the Equestrian Council as it relates to horse issues.

Staff provided a draft ordinance for the Planning & Zoning © Commission to consider, that provides the authority to the City Administrator or designee to handle issues as they arise, related to horses. A summary of the proposed changes include: - Delegate the Equestrian Council authority to City Administrator or designee © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — June 20, 2017 Page 4 No longer restrict horses to the "rear yard" but allow for horses outside of the front yard setback; and General "clean-up" language Councilmember Knight inquired about horses riding in the streets. Mayor Trude noted sometimes people ride on trails that are not meant for the weight of a horse. Councilmember Holthus asked how long it has been since there was a regular meeting of the Equestrian Council. Mr. Dickinson confirmed it had been over 5 years and that there are very few requests. Mayor Trude suggested when the application for the license is made, then a checklist could be shared that would be educational, as it relates to horse -related ordinances. Councilmember Goodrich asked for clarification regarding the need to come to the Council. Mr. Dickinson stated it would be needed on smaller lots or requests to have a fence in the side yard. Mr. Janish reviewed the staff report with the Council. © Motion by Goodrich, Seconded by Knight, to amend Ordinance No. 471, Title 5, Chapter 113 Equines of the City Code. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER ORDINANCE SUMMARY PUBLICATION/CITY CODE AMENDMENT TO TITLE 5, CHAPTER 1B EQUINES Mayor Trude stated this agenda item related to publication of a summary of the City Code changes, rather than printing each page having a change.
