Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) FTTMMARY; The attached copy of proposed Ordinance No. 522 includes language • that addresses some of the concerns voiced at the January 25th Council meeting. The concerns the Public Works department has with the current situation is the practice in commercial and residential areas of plowing or blowing snow into areas of the street or sidewalk that have been cleared of snow. The resulting snow piles can cause subsequent danger to plow operators, re- strict vision of drivers, and present an attractive nuisance to children who decide to• play on or in these snow banks. • Oil, We have had calls from residents requesting that we address the problems they have encountered with neighbors plowing. or blowing I snow onto their property or into the street. The residents con- cerns are primarily with the problem of subsequent removal of the snow that came from their neighbors property. I believe the proposed language in the ordinance will address the problem without creating undue hardships on the residents. -4e;: f-jel-*- Ric Mine or . City Engineer/Director of Public Works LR .
