<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - JULY 5, 2000 <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />nuisances. . . or eliminating a use determined to be a public nuisance. . .". Therefore, the <br />language that is currently in the Zoning Ordinance regarding amortizing nonconforming uses <br />should be revised. <br /> <br />Ms. Chaput reviewed amendments and remnnbering of all pages, Sections and the Table of <br />Contents in the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance, with regard to Item 7, pertaining to the <br />ordinance numbering system. The numbering system ofthe ordinance is currently in Roman <br />numerals and is difficult to follow. Staff proposes that this be changed for ease of use as well as <br />the page numbering system, numbering pages from one (1) to the last page of the document. <br />Also, for ease of future revisions, the document should be placed in a binder with section tabs. <br /> <br />Ms. Chaput stated that Staff recommends that Planning Case #00-11, Zoning Ordinance <br />Amendments, be approved. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Rye closed the public hearing at 8:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson asked that how Staff arrived at the definition of "family" as not more than <br />four people who were not related. Ms. Chaput stated she reviewed ordinances from other cities <br />and the State building code. She added that most cities use four or five people and the State <br />building code specifies five people. She noted that the Planning Commission, in previous <br />discussions, decided that four people was the preference for the City ordinance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson asked how many cases of single family homes being used for student <br />housing have been noted in the City. Ms. Chaput stated that she and other staff have received a <br />number of calls from residents regarding homes with numerous students. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Rye stated he lives near one such house, and it does not bother him. He added that <br />some residents would wish to discourage this kind of use, but questioned whether it is necessary <br />to prohibit it throughout the City. <br /> <br />Ms. Chaput stated that this issue became a topic of discussion because such homes are located in <br />single family residential districts. She added that if this use is allowed, the districts should be <br />changed to multi-family use. <br />Acting Chair Rye asked whether multi-family dwellings are allowed in an R-l district. Ms. <br />Chaput stated only single family dwellings are allowed in an R-l district. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson stated, with regard to the definition of "family", that he did not recall that <br />the Planning Commission had definitely decided on four people rather than five. Commissioner <br />Baker stated the Commission had reviewed other city ordinances. <br /> <br />Commissioner Galatowitsch stated that when four non-related people live in the same house, <br />they will have four cars. She added that if two cars are in the garage and two are in the driveway, <br />they will be conforming. Acting Chair Rye stated, in his opinion, the issue is not a problem. <br /> <br />Commissioner Galatowitsch asked how the City would enforce the amended ordinance. Ms. <br />Chaput stated that staff begins by checking the site and sending a notice. She added a second <br />notice is sent and then the property owner can be cited and possibly fined if they don't comply. <br />She noted that should be a deterrent. <br />
