The Council meeting at this time returned to citizen comments and requests.
Floyd Larson, 5250 Edgewood, stated that he owns a recreational vehicle and does

they did not object to him parking his vehicle on his property.

but that they must also keep the other side of the issue in mind, of those people
who object to having to look at a large recreational vehicle parked next to their
house.

Kathleen Keifer, 5180 Bona Road, stated she felt it was a violation of human rights
to not be allowed to park a recreational vehicle on ones own property. She asked
what to do when visitors come.
Councilmember Baumgartner again stated the provision of a 60 hour visit allotment.
It was asked when the issue would be addressed, and Administrator Achen stated that
the Planning Commission could hold a public hearing on the meeting, and that the
Chapter 40 revision had been passed as a whole with the understanding that the
recreational vehicle portion would be brought up again. The best way to find out
the timing of the public hearing would be to either call City Hall on Friday, or
to watch the New Brighton Bulletin for the publication of official notice of the
Public hearing. Also, if people were interested in discussing commercial vehicles,
they should go to the Planning Commission meeting on May 11 and request that
commercial vehicles also be discussed.
