-15- <br /> pointed out that there- was ,.nothing . in the proposed document <br /> they had been provided- that-:evening which allowed temporary <br /> parking for guests and that no standard had been established <br /> for when 'the Ordinance would be :enf;orced; <br /> -said he would have an "ethical" :problem with writing. another <br /> Ordinance which the City doesn' t intend to enforce. <br /> In regard` to the stipulation that vehicles could only be parked on paved . <br /> surfaces, the Councilmember said there were some homes in St. Anthony, <br /> like his own, which don' t have any asphalt at all, which he assumed would <br /> be in violation of the law immediately upon passage of the Ordinance. If <br /> the City considered such situations to be grandfathered in, the <br /> Councilmember said, he perceived the Ordinance , . would be rendered <br /> ineffective for the problems which the Council hoped to address. <br /> The following responses were made to his statements: <br /> Ranallo -said he would have no problem with allowing "defined gravel <br /> driveways" but wouldn' t want people just throwing sand. all <br /> over their backyards for parking.- <br /> Soth -perceived the problem with gravel parking areas could -be <br /> easily dealt within the Ordinance but trying to establish <br /> time restrictions might be tough because specifying hours <br /> vehicles-could be parked might create enforcement problems <br /> for the police, who would have to drive around marking cars, <br /> etc. - <br /> Ranallo -reiterated that another problem with -the Ordinance .as it <br /> was presented that evening, was that it..failed to provide <br /> restrictions against vehicles being parked in backyards. <br /> Sundland -agreed with the City Attorney that setting- time limits would <br /> be an unwieldly proposition requiring enforcement on an on- <br /> going basis tokeep it consistent; _ <br /> -perceived that would require more police manpower .than the <br /> City could afford'; <br /> -wondered ::if perhaps -the : Ordinance might not have to' be <br /> rewritten in specific terms which.. only addressed the., problem <br /> of parking on lawns. <br /> Makowske ' -said .she :could :now- see, where' the whole. .Ordinance., might have <br /> 'to-'be- reworked -.and suggested the City,' might want to restrict <br /> parking to only- paved for grave led.:surfaces without being <br /> specific -.about the number-: of vehicles; _.. . <br /> concluded the Ordiriah e. could always be .made more restric- <br /> tive later on if it didn' t correct the existing problems. <br /> r� <br />
