MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 13, 2005 AMEND Mayor Blesener opened the continuation of the Public Hearing to ZONING consider an Amendment to the Zoning Code to provide for storage CODE - buildings as accessory uses in non-conforming mobile home parks by STORAGE Conditional Use Permit. Blesener noted that at the last Council meeting BUILDINGS the majority of the Council supported the Zoning Code amendment IN MOBILE including the allowance of metal-sided accessory storage buildings. HOME Blesener reviewed the proposed ordinance amendment submitted by the PARKS City Planner. He pointed out that paragraph "g." includes three standards for metal-sided buildings, the second of which is the requirement of an asphalt shingled roof. Blesener indicated that it was his understanding that the Council's consensus was to allow a metal roof. Keis and LaValle agreed. Keis pointed out that the third standard under paragraph "g." would give the Council discretion in requiring the standards that it felt appropriate with regard to materials or enhancements for walls, roofs, windows, or doors for accessory storage buildings. Blesener noted that the Roseville School District is requesting the vacation of Park Street along their property. This request is the result of the fact that the School District will be giving up some land along County Road B- 2for trail easement, and would like to expand their soccer fields to the west. Blesener noted that if the Park Street right-of-way is vacated and depending on how the County determines how the land will returned to abutting property owners, the vacation may impact the ability of Terrace Heights' residents to park on this land. Frank Graczyk, Terrace Heights Mobile Home Park, asked how the vacation of Park Street through the mobile home park would impact the ability to extend water main into the park. The City Administrator indicated that most of the park property is privately owned and easements would have to be granted by the park owner to bring water main to the individual units. The City can retain an easement for the water main in the area where the Park Street right-of-way exists. Graczyk asked if the Council would vacate Park Street all the way to Demont Avenue. The City Administrator suggested that the public notice include that option, and the Council could then make the decision at the public hearing based on the comments received. Blesener again pointed out that the vacation may impact the mobile home park resident's ability to store vehicles in that area. Graczyk pointed out that there is a lot of parking on the easement area by people going to watch the soccer games. 2
