City Council meeting of December 7, 1998 Page 4 REQUEST TO PARK OVERWEIGHT VEHICLE ON RESIDENTIAL STREET Mr. Todd Jones, 6090 146th Street, requested permission from the Council to park a commercial business vehicle at the above address. Hugo City Code, Chapter 219-8, Subd. C states that vehicles in excess of 7,000 lbs gross licensed vehicle weight may not be parked in residential districts of the City. Mr. Jones would like to continue parking the vehicle at his residence as he uses the vehicle in his employment, and it benefits his employer to have the vehicle located at his home to help maintain response times to callouts and for security of the vehicle. The City Attorney stated that a variance to the ordinance could not be granted in this instance. The City would need to amend the existing ordinance to allow Mr. Jones to park the vehicle. Staff recommended the Council not approve the request, as the conditions Mr. Jones refers to in his request are not unusual, and would apply to a great number of circumstances. Granting the request would set a precedent that may effectively undermine future enforcement of the ordinance. The Council agreed that vehicle weight was critical in determining parking regulations. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, to table Mr. Jones's request to allow the City Attorney time to review the ordinance and make a recommendation. All aye. Motion Carried. SUP/LEASE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT (THANKSGIVING LUTHERAN CHR) Thanksgiving Lutheran Church, 7032 137th Street (Rice Lake Park Bldg), applied for a SUP to erect a portable, mobile home -type classroom adjacent to the building for use in bible study and Sunday school. This request requires both a SUP by the City to allow the portable classroom on the site, and an amended Lease Agreement to allow the classroom be placed on City property. The SUP was considered by the PC at their meeting of November 18, 1998, and they recommended approval of the SUP subject to special conditions. Goiffon made motion, Barnes seconded, to approve a SUP for Thanksgiving Lutheran Church to a erect portable, mobile home -type classroom adjacent to the Rice Lake Park Building, subject to the following special conditions: 1. The manufactured building used for classroom purposes shall meet the requirements of the State Building Code, Manufactured Home Division, for such use. 2. A noncombustible walkway, meeting handicap code requirements, shall connect the manufac- tured building to the RLPB for access to sanitation facilities. 3. The building shall be removed from the site upon termination of the Lease. All aye. Motion Carried. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, to approve an amendment to the Lease Agreement between TLC and the City of Hugo, and authorize the Mayor to sign said amendment. All aye. Motion Carried.
