<br />ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL PLANNING COMMISSION - 11/7/07 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />, <br />,. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stodola asked if the owner can also use their RV for short-term guest <br />housing. <br /> <br />Ms. Beekman stated that currently they cannot. It currently says that no RV shall be used <br />for temporary or permanent living, sleeping or housekeeping purposes in the City with <br />the exception of what was just added in Subdivision 3, that with a permit you can have <br />someone reside in the RV for up to 7 days. She indicated that for Subdivision 2 the <br />number ofRVs that are allowed to be stored is currently written as 3 and that includes <br />RVs, trailers, and boats on trailers, and not more than one ofthese vehicles can be a self- <br />propelled motorhome, travel trailer, etc. She mentioned these numbers are jnst for <br />recreational vehicles, watercraft and trailers, not for non-lakeshore property, and asked <br />for everyone's input on what the numbers should be. <br /> <br />Discussion on the numbers ensued. <br /> <br />Mr. Lehnhoff stated that from everyone's response, the average number remained at 3 <br />and staff will move forward with that number. <br /> <br />Ms. Beekman provided an update on the height issue because there was a <br />misinterpretation of the existing code and how the City deals with height. Currently the <br />City does not have any limitation on the height of an R V. If the RV is under 7 feet it can <br />be within 5 feet of the property line and if it is over 7 feet it has to be 10 feet from the <br />property line. She stated she did eliminate that from the proposed ordinance because <br />after checking with several RV dealers, 7 feet was unanimously considered to be <br />unreasonable. A standard 28 foot motor home is 12 feet in height and the maximum that <br />is permitted to be highway legal is 13.6 feet in height. She suggests that if height is <br />regulated that it be somewhere between 12 and 13 Yo, feet. She would like to note that it <br />was an error in the first proposed ordinance <br /> <br />4. ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Chair Sand motioned to adjourn. TIle motion seconded. <br /> <br />The motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m. <br />
