<br />Planning Case #98-12, City of Arden Hills, Zoning Ordinance Modifications,
<br />RV Parking and Billboards
<br />
<br />Mr. Ringwald explained the City of Arden Hills requests approval of two amendments to the
<br />Zoning Ordinance, The first amendment would modify the length of time certain types of
<br />recreational vehicles can be parked in a driveway from 90 days to 10 days, The second
<br />amendment would allow existing billboards in the Gateway Business District (GBD) to be
<br />modified, with City approval, as long as the total number of billboards or billboard faces are
<br />reduced, Mr. Ringwald explained the City Attorney felt the current activity to reduce the number
<br />of billboards could be handled through the platting process but their attorney requested the
<br />language specifically be placed within the Zoning Ordinance,
<br />
<br />Mr. Ringwald noted the Planning Commission reviewed this request and concluded that all types
<br />ofrecreational vehicles should have similar restrictions on how long they should be parked in a
<br />driveway, They recommend approval of the amendment of the Zoning Ordinance by striking
<br />Section VI, J, 2, b, (I), ofthe Zoning Ordinance and by amending Section VI, J, 2, b, (2), by
<br />striking the second word ("other") of sentence I, He advised of the types of vehicles which
<br />would he included in this restriction and provide a consistent and timely number of days to allow
<br />a visitor or work on a recreational vehicle, Also, this permit is renewable once in a 12-month
<br />period, Mr. Ringwald explained the Code already deals with areas where these units can be
<br />parked but this particular amendment deals with the driveway aspect while vehicles are being
<br />loaded or unloaded,
<br />
<br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked if it allows seven or ten days, Mr. Ringwald advised the
<br />Planning Commission recommends seven days which provides consistent treatment of all RV
<br />vehicles,
<br />
<br />Councilmember Malone noted it wasn't too long ago when no RVs could be parked and this
<br />would provide a reasonable time for people to load and unload the RV s, He clarified that the
<br />term "RV" as defined in the Zoning Ordinance includes many types of vehicles including truck
<br />campers, trailers, etc,
