At the last workshop meeting of this subcommitteo! Staff was directed to draft an ordinance to prohibit the moving of structures into and Within the City. Staff discussed this direction with the City Attorney and he advised a~. '.1~. t ab.~.lute prohibition as it could be challenged as discriminatory. He stated that establishing stringent regulations for moving in structures can provide the protection the City ~lesires without being discriminatory. The subcommittee agreed upon the following; Allow accessory structures to be moved into or within the City with a building permit; a!~d require a building moving permit for homes to be moved into or within Ramsey. ri'he building moving permit does require a review by the Planning Commission and apprOval .of the City Council.
