In addition, the City Council discussed the LMC model Right- <br />e of-Way Ordinance. These chapters have been provided to the League of Minnesota Cities. <br /> <br />The Council is asked to complete its review of the outstanding chapters at this meeting. In <br />addition, the City Council will be asked at future meetings to consider ordinances on courtesy <br />benches and rubbish hauling. <br /> <br />Regarding Chapters 9 and 12, staff has the following comments or recommendations for Council <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Chaoter 9 - Buildinl! <br />This chapter requires significant changes as a result of changes in the Minnesota State Building <br />Code over the past several years. Rather than trying to detail all of the changes required by the <br />new Minnesota State laws, staff would suggest holding comment until after a revised version can <br />be provided to the City Council. City Building Inspector, Dave Scherbel, has reviewed the <br />chapter and has made numerous suggestions, which will be forwarded to LMC officials. <br /> <br />Chaoter 12 - Subdivisions <br />Some of the following comments are based on the review of this chapter of the Arden Hills Code <br />by the current and former City Engineer. In general, staff would recommend that the LMC try to <br />make this Chapter more user-friendly. Specifically, this would include reformatting the chapter <br />so that it might focus on the following sub-headings: minor subdivisions, major subdivisions <br />(preliminary and final), and plarmed unit developments. <br /> <br />e <br />
