Mayor of the City of Arden Hills <br /> Council Members: <br /> Beverly Aplikowski <br /> Dale Hicks <br /> Paul Malone <br /> Dennis Probst <br /> Subject: RV Ordinance <br /> The last proposed ordinance. which was presented to the citizens during a meeting with <br /> the Planning Commi....ion. still is not a fair ordinance. <br /> In my case. as owner of a 34' motorhome. the ordinance would call for a Special Use <br /> Permit. This is costly and, I understand. difficult to obtain, but. whether obtained or <br /> not. it requires a great deal of effort on the part of a number of people. I feel that this <br /> requirement is unnecessary. I feel it demonstrates harassment. <br /> The recommendation of a Variance would demonstrate a more fair attitude and would <br /> accomplish the same results with far less effort and expense. <br />. Enclosed is a petition signed by all of my neighbors on both sides of the street of the <br /> block where I live. You will see that my neighbors have no problem with my parking <br /> my motorhome in my south side-yard, as I have for five years. <br /> Furthermore. I strongly recommend that the discriminatory reference to length be <br /> stricken completely because all motorhomes are approximately the same height and <br /> width (give or take a few inches) and the length really doesn't have anything to do with <br /> it. <br /> I have reviewed the list of complaints since 1988 and those complaints do not reflect any <br /> ~ problem with the parking of RVs. So, I would like answers to questions previously <br /> posed by people attending the two previous meetings with the Planning C(lmmi....ion. <br /> 1. How did the desire to place further restrictions on RV parking on ones <br /> own property come to light? <br /> 2. Has there been a legitimate complaint? H so. what were the <br /> circumstances? How was it bandied? Why wasn't it resolved under a <br /> nuisance ordinance? <br /> 3. Why should Arden Hills bave such a restrictive and unfair ordinance - an <br /> ordinance so harsh and so much more restrictive than the ordinances in <br />- neighboring communities. <br />
