Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 21,2014 Page 11 Mayor Roe thanked speakers for their comments; and advised the City Council of their options for this item: adoption, tabling, or rejecting the proposal. Councilmember McGehee opined that the ordinance didn't imply one type of rec- reational vehicle user over another; but took it to apply to people having trailers, with ATV's, water skis, lawn care equipment, or enclosed work trailers, and not only affecting boats. Councilmember McGehee recognized that everyone on Heinel Drive probably had a boat, and assured speakers that boat owners were not singled out. Councilmember McGehee advised that she continued to hear numer- ous complaints about RV parking on City streets, with some used for storage, and some actually larger than the homes they're parked in front of. Councilmember McGehee stated that she didn't share the feeling that this was in any way a blan- ket restriction or addressing one particular RV user; while agreeing that more dis- cussion was needed regarding driveways and trailers, and making accommoda- tions in some situations. Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of staff's proposal and the reactive nature and safeguards built in and flexibility allowed for staff to address unique circumstances. Mayor Roe suggested one technical change to Attachment A, in Section 2, Item b, to specify"this item, rather than"Item#5." McGehee moved, Etten seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1466 (Attachment A) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Roseville City Code, Section 407.02.M of Title 4, Health and Sanitation;" adding Item #5 to Section 407, making the long- term storage of trailers, boats on trailers, and large recreational vehicles on public streets, a public nuisance and prohibited; as amended to revise language of Sec- tion 2,Item b to read as follows: "Posting for a public hearing, before City Council, shall be a minimum of 10 days for violations of this item." Councilmember Willmus concurred with the comments of Councilmember McGehee; opining that this addresses the most frequent complaints heard; while allowing for additional discussion to continue; and therefore, inF that context, he spoke in support of the motion. Councilmember Etten, while supporting the motion as it directly addressed things from previous discussions, asked that staff bring forward in the near future other items discussed, including an administrative process to make reasonable accom- modations for those with side yards not allowing them to access the rear yards for storing units. Councilmember Etten, in his review of adjacent community ordi- nances, noted that both Arden Hills or Shoreview simply banned overnight park- ing of anything, making the City of Roseville much more lenient than its neigh- bors across the lake, while remaining respectful of its citizens and addressing more city-wide nuisances.
