1&UM [81AU— MIXf)TI DATE: Feb 8, 2008 TO: Mike Mornson FROM: Jay Hartman RE: Snow Plowing Policy Mike, In order to make our Snow Plowing Ordinance less restrictive and more user friendly to our residents based on the 2008 Goal Setting Session, the following is provided for discussion and for consideration. The current ordinance is as follows: 920.07 Parking During Snow Removal. Subd. 1. During the period commencing November 1 of any year, to and including April I of the following year, no person may stop, park or leave standing a vehicle on any street or highway in the City of St. Anthony between the hours of 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. or in such a manner as to impede the plowing and/or removal of any snow, ice or waste on the street or highway. Subd. 2. Whenever it is necessary to the proper direction control, regulation of traffic, plowing and /or the removal of snow, ice or waste, or maintenance or improvement of any highway or street to remove any vehicle standing on a highway or street in the City, then any police officer is authorized to provide for the removal of such vehicle and have the same removed to the nearest convenient garage or other place of safety. The cost of removal and storage of the vehicle will be charged to the owner of the vehicle, and to the person causing the violation. Below are 3 options proposed for consideration: 1. Do nothing. 2. (Delete) — Remove from our policy the "time" restrictions altogether such as "3 am — 7am from Nov 1 through Apr 1 ". This would require a signage change throughout the City. Secondly, change current ordinance to read, "No parking on city streets within a 48 hour period after a 2" snow fall or the street has been completely plowed "Curb to Curb ". In addition, "No person may stop, park and/or leave standing a vehicle on any street or highway in the City of St. Anthony in such a manner to impede the plowing and / or removal of any snow, ice or waste on the street or highway.
