Council Member Neal introduced the following emergency ordinance and moved its adoption: CITY OF LINO LAKES ORDINANCE NO. 08 -98 AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE PARKING OF A SELF-CONTAINED MOTOR HOME OR TRAVEL TRAILER FOR USE AS A RESIDENCE The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, does ordain: Legislative Findings of Fact The City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, experienced a severe storm and tornado on Friday, May 15, 1998. As a result of the storms and the tornado, several homes were destroyed and the residents moved to other housing. Some owners of these destroyed homes now wish to rebuild their homes and desire to be living on-site during the rebuilding process. They have requested authorization to park and live in a motor home on their property. r1 The City finds that living on the property during reconstruction is in the best interest of the homeowner because the homeowner will be able to protect his property by deterring theft or vandalism. In addition, the homeowner will be available at all times to the builder. Therefore, the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, does thereby ordains: 1. A temporary emergency exists for those homeowners whose dwellings were destroyed by the storms and tornado of May 15, 1998. 2. Not withstanding any contrary provisions in the Lino Lakes City Code, the owner of any single family home declared destroyed by the American Red Cross shall be allowed to park and live in a motor home or self contained travel trailer until the expiration of this ordinance as outlined in paragraph No. 3. 3. This emergency ordinance will expire on August 22, 1998. This ordinance shall take effect upon its passage by a majority of Council Members present at the June 8, 1998 City Council meeting and shall be in force until August 22, 1998.
