Mounds View City Council October 11,1999 <br />Regular Meeting Page 35 <br />City Attorney Riggs explained the addition of today's date, after the initial words "conform to <br />the City Code as o£ .." would set a time frame that the Council could use for enforcement <br />purposes. He stated, however, as Planning Associate Ericson has indicated, there will always be <br />issues, and he did not think this could be addressed through the ordinance. He stated the date <br />would be automatically set through the adoption of the ordinance, however, when the City Code <br />is updated and codified in the future, the ordinances generally lose their "as adopted' dates <br />within the ordinances themselves. He suggested that the indication of a date in the ordinance <br />might be a better option, as this would provide as much clarification as is possible. <br />Council Member Stigney inquired if the word "permitted" or "allowed" should be indicated in <br />the language. <br />Planning Associate Ericson explained the fact that they were dealing with non-conforming <br />driveways would signify they are not permitted, and this language might not be necessary. <br />Mayor Coughlin stated it should be assumed that people are innocent until proven guilty, and <br />that 99.5 percent of the residents in town are good, God-fearing, law-abiding people. He stated it <br />was unfortunate that a few people might make this difficult for the rest, but hopefully the Code <br />Enforcement staff can address these incidents. <br />Council Member Marty suggested the date, October 11, 1999, be indicated after the words "City <br />Code..." in the language of the ordinance. <br />• City Attorney Riggs stated this would be sufficient. <br />Mayor Coughlin inquired if the motioner and the seconder would agree to this. <br />Council Members Stigney and Marty agreed. <br />2.
