• FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -10- May 5, 2004 Consider approval of an ordinance amending Chapter 9 of the Falcon Heights Cit~ode concerning vehicle sales (continued) Council member Lamb recommended a change in the proposed ordinance amendment: Subsection 9-13.08, Vehicle Sales. Subdivision 1. Residential District. Eliminate the phrase "and parked entirely on a driveway". Administrator Worthington said that Larpenteur Avenue does not permit parking on either side except by the apartments east of Snelling. Mayor Gehrz recommended removing Larpenteur Avenue from the ordinance amendment because there is no permitted parking on Larpenteur, except in one area. Council member Talbot recommended rewording the phraseology "Vehicles that display a for sale sign" in both sections of the proposed ordinance amendment; otherwise people will simply list a contact phone number to get around the ordinance. Mr. Brian Olson, 1592 Roselawn, suggested the wording "vehicle owner". The vehicle has to be on his property, or, if an apartment dweller, it has to be adjacent to his building. There is a big issue with safety at night. You can't see the cars parked on the frontage road. He wouldn't mind seeing a ban on vehicular parking on the Snelling access drive altogether. Give special permits for garage sales. Mayor Gehrz described the process that people can go through if they want limited parking on a street. Council member Lamb recommended that advance notice about the new ordinance amendment be provided in the affected areas. Lindstrom moved adoption of the ordinance amending Chapter 9 of the Falcon Heights City code concerning vehicle sales, with the three changes that were recommended. The motion was unanimously approved. (Ordinance No. 2004-01 is outlined below.)
