Suburbs opt to go their own way on
state's 'drop home' law
Facing new state requirement to allow tiny trailers on residential
lots,many cities are saying no.

JULY 3.2016—5d6AM
Metro suburbs are bypassing a new state law that would require them to allow tiny,
portable houses on residential properties,saying the state mandate doesn't work for
them.
The statute is intended to provide access to temporary"drop homes"for people—
mostly older adults—with health care needs that require them to be close to a
But worries about resident complaints,conflicts with local zoning ordinances and
timing concerns have spurred cities to opt out of the law.Some say they already have
the resources they need to meet the needs of aging residents,while others want to pass
their own laws allowing temporary structures tailored to their city.
The League of Minnesota Cities fought for an opt-out provision in the statute so local
governments could still have control over their own zoning.
Bill sponsor Rep.Roz Peterson,R-Lakeville,struggled to find a place for her elderly -
father to live when he got sick two years ago.It's disappointing that cities are opting out,
she said,but she aclmowledged that the law isn't one-size-fits-all.
P
"Wit alwava diflinilt to amaN rhanpp and innnvatin -peterson said.1frhis won't Solve -
everybody's problem—this is one tool in the toolbox,so to speak."
Drop homes,sometimes called granny pods,are trailers under 300 square feet that are
billed as an affordable and temporary alternative to sending sick,injured or elderly
family members to a nursing home. imak

In Minnesota,the law allows homeowners to have a drop home on their property for six have started NextDoor Housing,a company
months by paying for a$100 permit,unless their city has a specific ordinance against the
homes.
The Burnsville City Council voted unanimously on June 21 to opt out Drop homes don't
meet city codes,said Mayor Elizabeth Kautz,and the city already has temporary
housing options.
Those Options include spare bedr-ms,apartments,assisted living faeilities,alrert ternm
health care facilities,hotels and group homes,according to a meeting agenda report
"It's not that we don't have it,"Kautz said."We want Control of what happens here in
Burnsville."
Some cities want to allow accessory dwelling units but are choosing to do so on their
own terata.
The Crystal City Council will likely vote to opt out at its next meeting,said Council
Member Jeff Kolb.The decision stems largely from the nature of residential properties in
Crystal,many ofwhich maybe too small to qualify for drop harries under the statute,he
said.
The City Council will try to pass an ordinance in the future that allows for accessory
units that are betty tailored to the city,Kolb said.
`There was a concern that it would be perceived that by opting out,we were saying we
don't want this kind of thing around here,that it was kind of a cold-hearted decision,"he
said."I7te reality is it's not that at all."
In Lakeville,the City Council agreed to opt out Iast week but also sent the issue to city
staff for further review.

There were multiple concerns,said Mayor Matt Little,including aesthetics,property
values and the difficulty city staffwould face in having to make judgments about
residents'ilhlesses.
"Every single city in this country is going to meed to figure out away to start taking care
of our seniors,"Little said.'Thene s just a lot of issues we need to...make Pair and clear."
Meanwbile,city staff in Woodbury are recommending that city officials vote to opt out
in order to have more time to figure out what local needs are,said Jason Egerstrom,
Woodbury's spokesman.
Under the statute,cities have until Sept.l to opt out
John Louiselle,co-owner of NeatDoor 13ousin&a New Brighton-based drop home
company that helped craft the law,said he doesn't mind if cities choose a different
direction. What's worrisome to us is when we see cities opting out and offermg no
alternative solution,"he said.
Peterson said she would like to see cities try out the statute and see how it works.The
biggest challenge,she said,is that people aren't familiar with the drop home idea.
"This is new—nobodys really done this before,"she said."Let's have a conversation
with the community before we just choose to abandon the idea."

Tom,
Before we move forward with changes—a speed study was done for the South Frontage Road and the North
Frontage Road.
The result of the speed study will increase the speed limit on each frontage road.
Kaare Festvog is in the process of getting the paperwork done to authorize the new speed limit.
Once this is done the speed limit signs will be changed to the new authorized speed limit.

Mayor and Council;
While we quite often times gets cards,cookies,and other forms of thank you here at the PD, I thought given the recent
disgraceful acts of one past officer should not shadow the other great officers we have in the department. This card
relates to Officers helping the sender push her scooter back to her residence when the battery ran out. "Rookie Brian"_
Officer Tennessen is showing that he will fit in well with the department demeanor and professionalism.
