17'7 2:7j <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 5- <br /> 111178STAFF REPORT Report Number: 9 3—4 6 9 WS <br /> ° February 1, 1993 Report Date: 1/28/93 <br /> AGENDA SESSION DATE <br /> DISPOSITION <br /> Item Description: Discussion of 'Ordinance No. 522 - Restrictions on <br /> Depositing Snow in the Street Right-of-Way <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: i__ <br /> - No comments to supplement this report <br /> - Comments attached. // <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) <br /> ,SUMMARY; <br /> The attached copy of proposed Ordinance No. 522 includes language <br /> that addresses some of the concerns voiced at the January 25th <br /> Council meeting. The concerns the Public Works department has <br /> with the current situation is the practice in commercial and <br /> residential areas of plowing or blowing snow into areas of the <br /> street or sidewalk that have been cleared of snow. The resulting <br /> snow piles can cause subsequent danger to plow operators, re- <br /> strict vision of drivers, and present an attractive nuisance to <br /> children who decide to play on or in these snow banks. <br /> We have had calls from residents requesting that we address the <br /> problems they have encountered with neighbors plowing or blowing <br /> snow onto their property or into the street. The residents con- <br /> cerns are primarily with the problem of subsequent removal of the <br /> snow that came from their neighbors property. <br /> I believe the proposed language in the ordinance will address the <br /> problem without creating undue hardships on the residents. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br />
