Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER EXEMPTION TO CITY CODE SECTION S -4 /ALLOWING SPECIAL HUNT Mr. Neumeister stated a request has been submitted for an exemption to the weapons section of the City Code (Section 5 -4) to enable a bow hunter to work with a property owner who has indicated that he has a problem with deer over population and coyote attacks on his small dogs. The property owner has requested the bow hunter to help him. Mr. Neumeister reviewed the information with the Council. Staff reviewed with the Council the area that is restricted hunting. Mayor Gamache stated he did not have a problem with this but they did not do anything a couple of years ago with the request on the other side of town with the deer and thought they needed to be consistent with the requests. Should they allow deer hunting on this piece he thought there will be requests from other parcels for hunting deer. He understood the reason to hunt the coyotes and did not have a problem granting a special hunt for that. Mr. Dan Carlson, 3021 South Coon Creek Drive, explained the reason why he is requesting this special hunt. Councilmember Bukkila asked how often the coyotes are seen. Mr. Carlson stated this time of year they will see them about once a week. Councilmember Knight asked if they have talked to the DNR about coyotes. Mr. Carlson stated they did. Mayor Gamache asked Mr. Dickinson if he knew if any of the farmers in the area have been hunting © coyotes. Mr. Dickinson stated he did not but they did have a request in a prohibited zone on a larger piece of property to do much the same thing from one of the farmers in the area. Deer has been an issue south of Coon Creek and also north of the creek. Councilmember Bukkila asked if they are talking about changing the lines or making a temporary provision. Mr. Dickinson suggested they do temporary provisions and not to change the lines. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —July 7, 2009 Page 4 Mayor Gamache stated he is in favor of them looking into the deer population issue because he thought they were getting to a point where they might start having problems. Mr. Dickinson thought in order for this to be cost effective he suggested this be coordinated with Anoka County when they review Bunker Hills Regional Park for deer population counts. They do this every now and then to determine if they have an over population of deer at Bunker Hills. Otherwise to do the fly over alone the quote would be approximately $15,000. Councilmember Jacobson thought they should separate the coyote question from the deer question because the deer question is significantly larger and involves a lot more people. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Bukkila, to authorize an exemption from City Code 5 -4 to allow for predator hunting at 3021 South Coon Creek Drive with the following provisions. This exemption is for a thirty day period, consecutive and start date to be at the discretion of the applicant. The hunt is for a predator hunt only and is for bow and arrow only. The hunter will have written permission from the property owner and this is subject to any applicable rules from the DNR and the hunt shall be from a tree stand only for safety. There was discussion with the applicant, hunter, Mr. Garrett, and the City Council regarding the length of time needed to conduct a hunt. The Council decided to change the time period from thirty days to sixty consecutive days to hunt. Councilmember Jacobson asked if staff could take a look at the deer hunting issue and give Council a memo on if they wanted to allow bow and arrow hunting for deer on parcels that are not within the area allowed now and what the City would have to do and the timeline needed. Motion carried unanimously. Amending the original motion to sixty days. FOLLOW UP — FROM JUNE 16 DANGEROUS DOG DISCUSSION Mr. Dickinson stated at the June 16 "' Andover City Council meeting as part of the agenda item "Consider Declaring Dangerous Dogs" a number of questions from the Council centered on what ability the City had to preclude certain property owners from possessing dogs within the City. Mr. Dickinson reviewed the City Attorney's comments with the Council. Mayor Gamache stated they discussed at one point whether or not they could assess the owner if © they did not pay and he found under section 5 -1A -17 #1, any costs unpaid after thirty days of the owner shall be assessed against the owner's property. He stated they could assess the owner for costs. W. Dickinson stated they are currently going through the billing process with the owners insurance at this point and felt they would assess as a last resort.
