Case #6: Proposed Ordinance to Amend Section 8.35 (Regulation of SinglY'Family' Dwellings to be Moved into or within the City); Case of City of Ramsey Assistant Community Development Director Frolik explained that moving a dwelling into or within the City requires a Dwelling Moving Permit (DMP). However, there are no standards or permit requirements to move a dwelling out of the City or for moving an accessory building into, within, or out of City limits. Currently, the DM? process requires that the request is presented to the Planning Commission and then ultimately to City Council. The process requires approximately two (2) months from the time an application is received until City Council votes on the matter. Assistant Community Development Director Frolik explained provisions have been included that would require a Moving Permit to be obtained from the Building Division ifa dwelling were to be moved out of the City or if an accessory bmldmg (greater than 120 square feet in size) were to be moved into,'witl-fin, or out 0fthe City. This type of permit will allow the City to verify, prior to a building being raised and relocated, that all utilities have been properly shut off and/or capped and that the foundation is properly removed and]or backfilled. The entire DM? process would be streamlined by eliminating the need for the request to be presented to both the Planning Commission and City Council. While City Staffwould now have the ability to administratively approve or deny a DM? application, the conditions and critetia currently used to evaluate this type of request would remain in tact. Assistant Community Development Director Frolik stated Staff recommends forwarding the proposed ordinance amendment to City Council for adoption.
