7.07: Introduce Ordinance #15-17 Amending City Code Chapter 105 (Buildings and <br />Building Standards) Related to Allowable Hours of Construction <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation to <br />introduce Ordinance #15-17 amending City Code Chapter 105. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that it is good to be flexible with the developers and residents and <br />believed that this would provide a vehicle to smooth out any issues. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he previously spoke in favor of reducing the construction hours. <br />He did not believe the additional language regarding negotiation would add anything to the <br />Ordinance and therefore would be opposing the vote. <br />Councilmember Shryock understood the comments of Councilmember Riley but noted that <br />unfortunately in this day and age things need to be spelled out a bit more. She stated that although <br />it may not seem that this would do a lot it could provide a little extra help in situations where <br />negotiation is needed. <br />Mayor Strommen stated that in her opinion there should be limited hours with negotiation available <br />for further extension of hours, which is the opposite of the approach the City is taking. <br />Motion by Councilmember Williams, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to introduce <br />Ordinance 915-17 Amending Chapter 105 (Building and Building Regulations) of the Ramsey <br />City Code, Amending the Allowable Hours of Construction. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Williams, Kuzma, Johns, and Shryock. Voting <br />No: Mayor Strommen and Councilmember Riley. Absent: Councilmember LeTourneau. <br />
