Case #7: Introduce Ordinance to Amend Section 9.11 (Performance Standards) of City Code; Case of City of Ramsey Community Development Director Frolik explained over the last year, the City has experienced an increase in the number of temporary sales offices and construction offices being located in new subdivisions. Currently there are no performance standards in City Code for these types of structures. Based on this increase in activity, staff is bringing forward proposed language to establish standards for model homes, temporary sales offices, and construction trailers/field offices. She explained the proposed code amendment would establish minimum standards for model homes, temporary sales offices, and construction trailers/field offices, including location within the project site, length of time permitted on the site, and minimum parking requirements. The Building Official has reviewed the proposed amendments and is recommending that model homes and temporary sales offices go through the building permit process, because they are visited by the general public. The Planning Commission held a public bearing and no public input has been received on the proposed ordinance. Councihnember Elvig suggested language be included to allow another review if these buildings become a prolonged situation.: He explained his concern is of a developer keeping a trailer located in a development with one home as a model. At some point in time he would think the residents would want to shut that down. City Council/December 14, 2004 Page 20 of 33
