Mounds View City Council • Regular Meeting Page Six January 25, 1993 McCarty stated that this ordinance is stating that snow accumulated from a public street is taken from a public right-of-way onto private property. McCarty stated that the ordinance is not clear. Minetor clarified that this ordinance is primarily concerned with the deposit of snow from other. properties onto private property without permission from the property owner. Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, stated that the snow deposited on the boulevard from the snowplow is the City~s problem. Many times the plows hits the driveway and puts snow on the property right up to the edge of the easement. Frits stated that there is approximately 6". between the edge of the sidewalk and the edge of the easement. This snow is approximately 14 feet away from my property and that is how far it would have to be hauled. If a .shovel crew comes out to clean the sidewalk, where are they going to put the snow? This was not addressed in this ordinance.
