The motion <br /> carried unanimously (5-0). <br />5. Planning Case #98-12, City of Arden Hills, Zoning Ordinance Modifications, <br /> RV Parking and Billboards <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 />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, (1), of the Zoning Ordinance and by amending Section VI, J, 2, b, (2), by <br />striking the second word ("other") of sentence 1. He advised of the types of vehicles which <br />would be 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 thc driveway aspect while vehicles are being <br />loaded or unloaded. <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 />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 R V s. He clarified that the <br />term "R V" as defined in the Zoning Ordinance includes many types of vehicles including truck <br />campers, trailers, etc. , <br />MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember ApIikowski, seconded a <br /> motion to approve Planning Case #98-12, amendment of the Zoning Ordinance, <br /> by striking Section VI, J, 2, b, (1), amending Section VI, J, 2, b, (2) by striking the <br /> second word ("other") of sentence I, and amending Section V, K, 5, g (3) of the . <br /> Zoning Ordinance as presented in Staff memorandum dated May 26, 1998, <br />- <br />
