Member Maschka asked how the Ciry can address parking in single family areas. Heffernan suggested parl�ing passes. Overcrowding is due to new landlords not knowing the codes. Jim Badzinski, 385 Owasso Blvd, agrees witlt previous speakers and suggested paved parking requirements for all properry owners. He expressed concern regarding proposed ordinance section 907.13 — three strikes or tenant violations. This holds the landlord responsible for tenant behavior which is difficult for a landlord to control. Arnie Albrecht, 362 N. McGarro�s noted that the rental ordinance is a serious invasion of renter privacy. This does not require a search warrant and should not he done. Why is interior adequate for owners but not renters? Need more help with code compliance. The ordinance has unknown costs. What are the legal costs? Will a short fall be borne by the renter or by tax payers? It would take a fee of $�Oa per unit to support the program. Licensing is counter productive to affordable housing. Why is there an exemption for relatives? What is the appeal process — why appeal to the HRA when they are the manager of the program? Why are utilities billed to the landlord, is there a problem with the current process? The landlord will put a flat charge on the renter which will increase the rent. There will be no incentive to conserve water. The ciry needs to learn to enforce existing problems. Ron BarCz, 1499 Clarmer, lives adjacent to rental properry with 7-8 renters in one home. Landlords and neighbors are separate issues. He expressed concerns about overcrowding within units — the landlords must be involved in the licensure and supports the ordinance. The Ciry can not enforce overcrowding through the zoning code. Joel Weiss, 2720 Dale Street, asked if a car parked on the grass is a violation and if it is why police can't enforce it. The proposed program is onerous because of a few had cases. He noted that everyone should pay more taxes to address the issues as a whole rather than just address rental properry. Mike Tracey, owns rental properties in Roseville and asked the HRA to look at the issue from a renter perspective. The landlord lease should control parking. Focus on the problem rather than groups of people. Brian Larson, 182 Skil]man, asked for details of exemptions for owner occupied units. When there are problems with evicting the renters the landlords should not be penalized. This is a better ordinance than the first version. John Abler, duplex owner, asked for details of overnight parking on Ciry streets. The solution is for a problem that does not exist. The ordinance needs more work. Concerned with section 907- 03 and inspection process with 60 day delay. Should look at Anoka licensing program. Bob Murphy, 1667 Millwood, explained neighborhood sales and uncontrolled number of renters within single family dwellings, especially college students. The increase number of calls should be billed and sent to owners or increase the staff for compliance. Mitch Erickson, 1377 Forest Lane —Arden Hills, owns properry in Roseville adjacent to Northwestern College with more than 4 people in the home. Ciry does not need another ordinance but need another code compliance officer instead. Parking is an issue if 6-7 vehicles, code enforcement should ask what is going on.
