Mounds View participated in their survey and <br />their survey results are attached. Some cities expressly prohibit such structures; some are <br />silent on the issue and allow them, while other cities expressly allow them under certain <br />circumstances. Ultimately, the City of Crystal opted to forbid such temporary structures. <br />CITY REGULATION EXCEPTIONS <br />Non-commercial <br />Crystal Does not allow temporary structures greenhouses and <br />seasonal tents, if under <br />120 s uare feet <br />Fridley Not allowed. <br />(They do not meet the minimum requirements <br />of the Building Code.
