1473 Arden Oaks Dr. ... Arden Hills, MN 55112 October 4, 1990 Mayor Thomas Sather and the Arden Hills City Council Arden Hills Village Office l450 W. Hwy. 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Dear Mayor Sather and Members of the Arden Hills city council: I am writing in request for a temporary (1 year) permit to park on the street in front of our house. Our situation is this: we are having our brother-in-law stay with us in our home while he finishes his college degree. He has his own car that he uses to drive to school each day. Last week he was ticketed for parking on the street in front of our house. We now are required by the city to keep his car parked in the driveway. This is a major inconvenience to us as a family. We have a two car garage and his having to park in the driveway for this period of time restricts access to one of the two cars that we own, both of which we use daily. . Were his parking on the street a bother to our neighbors, or were he to keep his car on the street following a snowfall, I could see the need to keep the car parked on the driveway as this would fall into the category of being a bother to our neighbors and to the city. However we are sensitive to the needs of our neighbors and are aware of no problems, and are very conscientious about observing the snowfall ordinances by removing the car from street immediately following snowfall and keeping it off until after the streets have been plowed. The prohibited on street parking ordinance, I feel, is a disservice in this case. Though I understand that there is a real need for such restrictions in some cases, I think that they should be the exception rather than the rule. Please reconsider the need for this ordinance and also consider my request for a permit should you see the need to continue its enforcement. Thank you for your consideration. ,~ir-elY/) / 1~1; UJ1 .
