January 7, 2015 <br />JIM Ericson, City Administrator <br />City of Mounds View <br />2401 County Road 10 <br />Mounds View, MN 551124499 <br />Clear Mr. Ericson: <br />I am writing to request the City Council to consider an amendment to City ordinance 607.06, Subd. 2a <br />which states in part: "No person may place or store ice fish houses.., continuously for longer than 24 <br />hours in the front -yard area of residentially -zoned property" to exclude drop -axle fish houses. <br />These drop -axle fish houses are comparable to tow -behind campers, They can be used year round as <br />sleeping campers. They are permanently built on a drop -axle trailer and licensed by the state of <br />Minnesota to be towed by a vehicle on Minnesota roads. We do not leave our fish house on the lake <br />when we are not fishing due to vandalism and would like to be able to tow it home and put on our <br />driveway until the next trip out to the take. Currently, because of the above -referenced ordinance, we <br />cannot park it on the driveway for more than 24 hours. <br />These drop -axle fish houses are something new in the fast few years and were not available at the time 1 <br />am sure this ordinance was written and the ordinance should be updated to exclude this type of fish <br />house from the ordinance. <br />I have enclosed a picture of the fish house and also the license sticker from the State of Minnesota. <br />Thank you to you and the City Council for your consideration in this matter, <br />Sincerely, <br />Donald Scott Pearson <br />Martha Susan Pearson <br />8475 Sunnyside Road <br />Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />763-786-6489 <br />Enc. <br />
