<br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik explained the limit on vehicles is what is <br />allowed to be parked outside. Hopefully this will encourage the owners to decide what has <br />value. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec noted this is an issue that may be looked at on a regular basis. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson inquired whether there is any specific coverage needed as far as <br />hazardous waste that may be discovered during an abatement process. <br /> <br />Assistant Conmmnity Development Director Frolik replied if hazardous waste is encountered <br />staff would contact Anoka County. They are very responsive and are usually out within 24 <br />hours. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson asked if there would be fines involved with hazardous waste. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik replied there are likely fines if the rules are <br />not adhered to. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec requested clarification that the City will be trying to clean up the complaints they <br />receive, and they are not sending someone out to look for trouble. <br /> <br />Assistant Conununity Development Director Frolik replied this should be complaint based, but at <br />the last meeting it was stated if staff is out on other business and sees a violation, the staff person <br />can address the issue. <br /> <br />COilllcilmember Look requested staff to weigh in on the discussion about farms with tractors and <br />implements. <br /> <br />Assistant Conununity Development Director Frolik indicated there has been discussion about <br />agricultural uses; she would imagine any farm implements would be exempt. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich advised operating fanns or agriculturally zoned property can be <br />exempted with the drafting of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated he received a call from a woman who was concerned that they <br />should try to conmmnicate with neighbors to resolve these types of issues, as opposed to through <br />the ordinance. His concern with communicating is that they have a few examples of people they <br />have tried to conununicate with on a regular basis, and that only goes so far. He thinks there was <br />a concern by this resident about mowing grass and she did not feel it was necessary to mow <br />grass. However, he thinks in this conununity as they are growing, that they are responding to <br />their neighbors and to the value of neighbors' properties. This is a respectful ordinance that will <br />layout some infornlation for people to abide by. He does not find it too aggressive; hopefully it <br />will be a good progran1. <br /> <br />City Council / July 10, 2007 <br />Page 6 of 24 <br /> <br />P22 <br /> <br />
