Mounds View City Council Page Five <br /> • ular Meeting 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 &oeone <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 beix_ <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.
