Mounds View City Council <br />• Regular Meeting <br />Page Five <br />February 8, 1993 <br />Mayor Linke reviewed the McCarty ordinance and applauded Mr. McCarty <br />and his neighbor in working together to get along, but assured Mr. <br />McCarty that this doesn't always happen. There are cases where someone <br />comes in and plows snow onto some other private property and this <br />creates a problem. Mayor Linke stated that Mr. McCarty's ordinance <br />does not address this. <br />Minetor stated that neighbors are concerned with property owners with <br />abutting properties blowing snow onto others' property. <br />Mr. McCarty stated that he finds it ridiculous if neighbors had <br />objection to having someone blow snow onto their property. Mr. <br />McCarty stated that he would like to see the number of complaints <br />with regard to this. <br />Minetor stated he had three complaints regarding this issue and <br />that the persons complaining wanted to remain anonymous. <br />Councilmember Rickaby stated that there could be a potential problem <br />if the Council would pass the one foot driveway setback that is being <br />proposed at tonight's meeting. It is very difficult to deposit snow on <br />a one foot piece of property. <br />Mr. McCarty stated that he and his neighbor's driveway abut one another <br />and they have blown snow on each other for years and it has not been a <br />problem. If there would be a problem in this area, McCarty further <br />stated that there must be City nuisance ordinance that could cover this <br />problem rather than blanket the City for three complaints. <br />Councilmember Blanchard stated that the substitute ordinance states <br />more clearly what the City had in mind. Blanchard stated the general <br />public would understand it better as it is more clearly written. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Blanchard/Rickaby to Retable Ordinance No. 522 .Amending <br />Chapter 80 of the Municipal Code of the City of Mounds View Regarding <br />Use of Highways, Streets and Roads. <br />VOTE: 2 ayes 3 nays Motion Failed <br />Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, asked how this ordinance addresses <br />the area of space that lies beside the sidewalk on the edge of the <br />easement. <br />Councilmember Rickaby stated that the revised ordinance treats <br />everybody alike, whether they have a sidewalk or not. <br />Mayor Linke .stated that it is part of the boulevard area. This would <br />be treated the same as any other boulevard without or without a <br />sidewalk. <br />
