ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 18, 2011 5 <br />2. Outlining the responsibilities of residents in terms of maintaining the boulevard adjacent <br />to their property; <br />3. Clarifying the City's responsibilities in terms of ensuring the safe and efficient use of the <br />ROW. <br />City Planner Beekman explained that Staff has included a draft ROW Maintenance Ordinance <br />for Council review and is requesting that the Council review the attached draft ordinance and <br />provide comment and direction on it. Based on the discussion this evening, staff will revise the <br />draft ordinance and bring it back either for Council approval, or for further discussion. Because <br />all proposed revisions of the City Code do not impact Chapter 13, the Zoning Code, these <br />revisions would not require a public hearing, nor review by the Planning Commission. <br />Councilmember Holmes suggested there be a clear definition of ROW included in the ordinance <br />and that the definition also state the difference between improved and unimproved ROW. She <br />also questioned the width of ROW and how a resident knows that information. <br />City Planner Beekman explained that it is the responsibility of the property owner to determine <br />their property lines. Sometimes the City has a plat map available, but if there is none, or if the <br />property owner can't find the property pins, they will have to have a surveyor establish the <br />location of the property lines. <br />Councilmember Tamble asked if that language is in the Code. <br />City Planner Beekman stated she is not sure whether or not it is included but she also stated that <br />the ROW varies from one road to another. She added that the property owner actually owns to the <br />center of the ROW. The streets are dedicated to the City, not deeded. <br />Councilmember Holden was concerned about the sections of the new code referring to permits <br />being issued by a specific staff member. She suggested that all such references be changed to read <br />"the City" will issue such permits. <br />Councilmember Holmes suggested that Section D under Subdivision 3 be revised to state more <br />clearly that such costs will be the responsibility of the property owner. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the number of diseased trees in the City; there are approximately 70, <br />50 of which are currently the City's responsibility to remove. <br />Councilmember Holden asked if this proposed ordinance amendment passes, would property <br />owners then be expected to cover the cost of those diseased trees already identified by the City. <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Olson explained that the diseased trees must be removed within <br />a specific time period once they've been identified. By the time this ordinance amendment has <br />passed, the diseased trees will have been required to be removed. <br />Councilmember Holmes asked about rain gardens located in the ROW. <br />
