4D. Resolution approving contract with HKGi for 2040 update to Mound
Comprehensive Plan
Gillispie says that last time this contract came up in 2010 there were overages from the
initial bids. Smith says there were contract overruns and add-ons towards the latter end.
Smith believes these changes were in response to changes from the Met Council as well as
production of hard copies. Smith said this contract will be in PDF form with not as many
requirements for hard copy versions and Smith believes that is where overruns came from.
Smith added those changes came back to the Council for a contract amendment and
additional expenditure approval which was granted.
MOTION by Gillispie, seconded by Bergquist, to approve the following resolution. All voted
in favor. Motion carried.

7. Planning Commission Recommendations
A. Public Hearing for review of Ordinance amending Chapter 129 of the Mound
City Code (Zoning) as it relates to definitions and exterior storage
Stewart Simon, presented an amendment to the City Code Chapter 129 related to
exterior storage. Simon stated that in November 2016 at the Special Meeting workshop,
the Council reviewed a proposed amendment to Chapter 129. Simon said he took
Council feedback and reworked the section which was presented to the Planning
Commission. Simon added the goal is to move away from the general term "exterior
storage unit" to more defined terms such as "motor vehicle," etc. so there is less
confusion for the public and the City Code would be easier to enforce. Simon said the
current chapter 129 of the City Code only looks at exterior storage units but not other
things.
Mound City Council Minutes — January 24, 2017
Simon said the Planning Commission voted to approve the ordinance with changes and
a Public Hearing is required prior to the adoption of a zoning code amendment.
Mayor Wegscheid opened the public hearing at 7:07 pm.
Beatrice Amidon, 1909 Lakeside Lane, has a conflict with her neighbor. She stated her
neighbor's shed and a forklift are leaning on Amidon's fence. She also said her neighbor
has dug up tree roots and in doing this, knocked down the end of Amidon's fence.
Amidon added she believes her neighbor had been burning treated lumber and believes
her neighbor should pay for knocking down the fence.
Mayor Wegscheid believes this nuisance problem falls into line with what the Council is
trying to do here tonight with the revision of the City code as it relates to outdoor storage
and nuisances. The Mayor stated that the Council can't address issues in particular
tonight and suggests Amidon meet with Stewart Simon and Sarah Smith to review the
issue.
Mayor closes the public hearing at 7:12 pm
Mayor Wegscheid stated that these ordinances have been discussed in great length at
previous Council workshops and meetings and this was last chance for people to have
more input at this public hearing.
