CASE <br /> <br />REVIEW PROPOSED REVISIONS TO DRAFT ORDINANCE TO <br />ESTABLISH REGULATIONS FOR PARKING AND STORING <br />COMMERCIAL AND PRIVATE USE VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT <br />IN THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS <br /> By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the joint City Council and Planning Commission meeting on July 2, 1996, the most <br />recent version of the ordinance to establish regulations for the parking and storing of <br />private and commercial use vehicles and equipment was reviewed. The City Council <br />expressed thb following concerns with the ordinance: <br /> <br />a) <br /> <br />Vehicles and equipment belonging to persons visiting a parcel in Ramsey <br />need to be exempted from the various regulations, especially that clause that <br />requires the vehicles to be registered to the person residing on the property. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />Consideration should be given to exempting commercial vehicles from the <br />regulations if they do not exceed a certain height and length. <br /> <br />It was determined that anyone who had any ideas for amendments to the draft ordinance <br />based on the discussion that took place on July 2 should provide them in writing to me so <br />that I could include them in the August Planning Commission agenda for review. <br /> <br />I received recommendations from Councilmember Sheila Beyer and Planning <br />Commissioners Ben Deemer and Sharon Jensen. The Planning Commission spent some <br />time reviewing and discussing those recommendations at the August 6 meeting. The <br />Commission directed some changes to the draft ordinance and the R-1 Residential District <br />regulations and that the issue be placed on the September agenda for further discussion and <br />review. <br /> <br />The recommendations of Beyer, Deemer and Jensen are again attached as Exhibits A, B <br />and C for use in your continued discussions. The draft ordinance (Exhibit D) is also <br />enclosed thatSncorporates in bold print the change authorized at the August meeting. That <br />change is in item b and would now require personal or recreational equipment parked in the <br />side yard to :be on a prepared surface. Exhibit E is a separate ordinance directed for <br />drafting at tha August meeting. This ordinance amends the lot coverage restrictions in the <br />R-1 Rural ReSidential and R-1 Urban Residential Districts to include impervious surfaces. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Will be based on your discussion. <br /> <br />PC: 9/3/96 <br /> <br /> <br />
