reasonable regulations without making the rule book'too thick, One of the , things they had to decide was whether the sign requirements should be according to land use (light industry, business, etc.) or according to location (every- ' thing along County Road E of one size, everything along Freeway 694 perhaps a larger size, etc.). More as events develop. The Newsletter Publication Committee suggested at their last meeting that - the T_ Crier include a partial listing of some of Arden Hills' more famous ordinances. Of course, since we decided this at 7800 a.m. the morning after the primary election, I can't say how sharp any.of us were. At any rate, did you know that Arden Hills allows no on -street parking 1 for over 6 hours at a stretch? Also, you cannot park a car on your property , for more than 7 days if it is not licensed and runningf in other words, no Junkers. You cannot park a motor vehicle over one ton with a commercial licens in a residential area unless it is there for a service. Boats or trailers can be stored in your back yard only if they are leas than 20 feet long and are "inconspicuous". (Whatever the definition of that may be.) All trash must be in a covered container and properly screened from view. Only two dogs are allowed per household. Trees on your property must not hang ' out over the curb because this causes problems for street maintainance and visibility, j If you have any question on these or any other ordinances, give the Villag� Hall a ring, 633-5676. There's a whole bunch of rules just about ronces. A neighborhood meeting was held on September 13 concerning the proposed new Arden Hills Trail. (That's the one that angles northeast from the corner of Stowe and New Brighton Road up to County Road E.)

Editor's notes I read an article in the Public Works magazine that said the most important thing in making a park is to put in what the local people want. On area in Indiana built a lovely baseball diamond only to discover that it was in an ethnic area where everyone really wanted a soccer field. Another ' community built two tennis courts in a very poor area when the kids wanted basketball hoops. e There is a meeting scheduled for October 2 at the Village Hall when the pros and cons of funding the North Suburban Youth Services will be discussed. ' This is the regularly scheduled meeting of the Public Safety Committee, and the Council has asked them to come up with a recommendation on -whether or not Arden Hills should help fund the group. The Public Safety people are therefore , trying to assess the validity of this service. If you're interested, one way or the other, please come, 7830 p.m. Hopefully there will be some informed people there from Ramsey County to tell the committee what services are avail- able through the Coupty. No members of the general public were present at the Public Hearing on September 7 which considered what to do with Arden Hills' $359000 share of the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. (Although I did get a call the next day suggesting a bike trail along north Hemline.) It was decided, and later 0H'd by.the Council to put $5,000 toward the new Public Works building addition
