He stated that the latest revision dated <br />September 17, 1996, proposes additional language and changes. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder outlined the latest changes proposed to the ordinance. He explained that the most <br />significant change was located in section 9.02, regarding definitions. Mr. Schroeder explained that <br />standard vehicles with company logos will no longer be considered commercial vehicles. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder explained that the second change involves the largest issue in the Urban areas which <br />is enforcement. Mr. Schroeder explained that the suggestion is to require Urban districts to prepare <br />the surface with bituminous pavement or concrete and Rural districts prepare the surface with a <br />minimum ofconbit or gravel. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder explained that the final proposed change located in item C., outlined that commercial <br />vehicles can be parked outside for short-term periods (eight hours or less), for purposes such as <br />loading and unloading. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holland noted that the term "storage" had been struck, and asked for the rationale <br />behind that. Mr. Schroeder stated that they could not define the difference between parking and <br />storing a vehicle. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Holland and seconded by Chairperson Bawden to change item A by <br />removing the words "stored and front", and adding a comma after the word "driveway". <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Commissioner Deemer stated that residents with larger lots in the Urban districts <br />should have some discretion. Mayor Hardin stated that the City has that discretion. <br /> <br />Ramsey City Council and Planning Commission Joint Workshop/September 19, 1996 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
