Public Works Director Duane Schwartz briefly reviewed the proposed City Code Text Amendment that would eliminate contradictions within the Code and achieve parity between the text and the way the City interprets its intent, based on recent court action (October 8, 2007, Ramsey County District Court - Boryczka v. City of Roseville), and past interpreting by staff on City Code, Section 1103.021D. Councilmember Kough referenced substandard cul-de-sac widths and emergency vehicle access and turnaround room, based on Fire Code provisions. Mr. Schwartz advised, with City Attorney Squires concurring, that City Code met State Fire Codes.
