A proposal is potentially being considered that would require all individuals wanting to have recreational fires in the city of Eagan to obtain a permit to do so as well as placing yet to be determined time frame limits on these fires.
This over-reaching potential amendment to City Code Chapter 10 is likely born out of an isolated instance that an individual has and is not reflective of a larger issue in our city.
By signing this petition you will be demonstrating your support for the present mechanism of ensuring the compliance that individuals exercising their right to have recreational fires adhere to, City Code Chapter 10, remains intact as it is presently written. You are also expressing your opposition to the proposed amendment that would require individuals to obtain a permit for recreational fires.
Thank you in advance for your support and please share the link to this petition with any and all like-minded Eagan residents.

Moved here from NSP where this was tried in 2014 (or therabouts) after successful lobbying of council members by one or two smoke averse neighbors. Once in place, both the police and most of the city's residents asked for it to be rescinded, which it was within a couple of months. There's gotta be bigger fish to fry than a neighbor's fire.
I like the idea of being able to have a backyard fire when I choose. Sitting back there with a beer and watching the fire is something that I enjoy.
Don't take away one of the great joys of enjoying an evening with friends and neighbors outdoors. Spontaneity is an important aspect of this.
Keep the code as it stands. Controlled recreational fires are just that; controlled and recreational. We do not need anyone micromanaging how we use our fire pit on our own property. Thank you.
Agreed. The present code affords for safe and fun fires. There does not appear to be a problem with things as they are. The code should be left as is. Pass it on.
No to permits!

Does the city staff have too much time on its hands to bother changing a perfectly adequate ordinance? I think perhaps yes.
