CITIZEN COMMENTS AND RE1)U ESTS
Darlene McPeters, 7750 Silver Lake Road, expressed her concern that the ordinance
regarding off- street parking requirements for commercial and recreational vehicles
had been passed without sufficient public notice. She felt that it was a very
controversial issue and that those concerned with the issue did not receive
adequate notice to present themselves and state their views before the ordinance
was passed.
Mayor Pickar stated that there had been quite a bit of attention and discussion
spent on the ordinance in the past and that notice had been published in the
New Brighton Bulletin.
Mrs. McPeters asked if there was any way to change the ordinance and Mayor Pc:I:car
replied that a request could be made to the Planning Commission for a hearing
on the ordinance.
The question arose as to out of town visitors and Councilmember Baumgartner
stated that there is presently a 60 hour time period to cover visitors with
motor vehicles. He stated that the revision to Chapter 40 was two years in the
making and that the parking of recreational vehicles was the most controversial
item of the whole revision, and that the item is on the Planning Commission agenda
for the May 11, 1977 meeting.
Mayor Pickar stated that the meeting at this time would advance to the public
hearings on the agenda, as these people had first priority since they were on
the agenda, and that upon the completion of the public hearings, the Council
meeting would continue with Citizen Comments.
Mayor Pickar recessed the general meeting and opened the hearings.
