Page Four Ordinance is subject to a parking citation and is also declared . to be a safety hazard and nuisance. This nuisance may be summarily abated by removing and towing away such vehicle under the direction of the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. Enforcement of this Ordinance shall also be done by the Community Service Officer from the city of Arden Hills, or as directed by the City Council. SNOW REMOVAL certain locations within our community may require additional service after snow plowing operations cease. This shall be referred to as "snow removal". Snow removal hereinafter will be defined as the loading and trucking of snow to an approved site under the direction of the Public Works supervisor or his designated representative. This service may be provided when there is no area for snow storage. Snow removal operations normally begin within twenty-four (24) hours after snow plowing operations have been completed. There are approximately 57 cul-de-sacs in Arden Hills. It may take some time for the specialized equipment to complete the actual cul-de-sac areas; therefore, a snow plow may complete the normal part of the street and complete only a portion of the cul-de-sac area. The major portion of the cul-de-sac will be plowed by the special equipment during the usual time guidelines . for snowplowing operations. Snow removal may be required in cul-de-sac areas if previous snow accumulations prevent the normal movement of snow to boulevard areas. PROPERTY DAMAGE Snow plowing and ice control operations may cause property damage even under the best of circumstances and care on the part of the operator. The major types of damage are to improvements within the City right-of-way, which extends approximately ten to fifteen feet beyond the curb location. The intent of the right-of-way is to provide room for snow storage, utilities, boulevard trees, sidewalks and other city uses. However, certain private improvements such as mail boxes are required within this area. Therefore, the City will cooperate with the property owner in the event of damaged private property. The city shall specify when this damage is the responsibility of the city and when it shall be the responsibility of the resident. The City accepts responsibility for structures which are obvious or are marked and which have been damaged by physically being struck by a plow blade, wing or other piece of equipment. Mailboxes, lights, etc. , must be constructed sturdily enough to withstand snow rolling off a plow or a wing. Therefore, damage resulting from snow movement is the responsibility of the resident. The City will repair, replace, or reimburse the . resident in those instances where the city is responsible for the
