September 25, 1989 Council Meeting - Page Two . Mr. Vodonik asked that one of three things be considered: 1. Change the ordinance to allow 25' vehicles be stored, rather than 20', 2. Take unusual circumstances into account, i.e., aesthetic reasons for allowing the vehicle, such as on wooded versus non-wooded property. 3, Develop a system to allow a variance of this particular ordinance from Ordinance requirements. Mr. Vodonik asked for a six month extension, noting that his parents will be leaving soon for a period of four months, but that he will be faced with the storage problem again when they return. He understood from the CSO that there had been no complaints received regarding storage of the RV on the property. Councilmember Hansen stated she would prefer ordinance enforcement, but that the City should allow the vehicle to stay and ask the Clerk Administrator to look at a possible ordinance change. . City Attorney Filla noted that the Council could suspend the ordinance regulations pending a staff review, but should direct staff to look into this matter. Councilmember Malone noted he is not interested in amending the ordinance at this time and asked the City Attorney if our ordinance is unduly restrictive. Attorney Filla responded that he is of the opinion that Arden Hills' ordinance is more liberal than other cities on this; suggested staff double check with other communities before further action is taken. Councilmember Growe agreed and felt that no RV vehicles need to be moved until after the survey is completed. Clerk Administrator Berger noted that staff had been asked to follow-up on ordinance enforcement and that he would report back in two weeks at the October 10 Council meeting. After discussion, Council directed the Community Service Officer to survey other cities to see how they handle this matter and to report back to Council October 10 with the survey results. Until that time, Mr. Vodonik will be allowed to park his 25' recreational vehicle on his property in its present location. ASSMT. HEARINGS DEL. UTILITIES Mayor Sather opened the meeting at 7:49 P.M. for the purpose of a public hearing to certify delinquent utility accounts to the County Auditor. Administrator Berger verified that the Notice of Hearing was published in the New Brighton Bulletin on September 13 and mailed to affected property owners on September 12, 1989. Staff noted that one payment for the delinquent utility account had been received since the packet was mailed, thus an additional name should be deleted from the assessment roll. Mayor Sather asked for questions or comments from the public. There being none, he closed the public hearing at 7:50 P,M. . Councilmember Malone moved, seconded by Councilmember Growe, to adopt Resolution No. 89-44A, "RESOLUTION ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR DELINQUENT SEWER AND WATER ACCOUNTS". Motion carried unanimously, (4-0).
