G.5 Approve Ordinance Amending the Parking Ordinance City Code currently restricts parking of vehicles and trailers on City streets to a time limit of 72 hours, with the intent of prevention long-term storage of such equipment on public streets. The City has received complaints detailing the long-term storage of trailers on public streets, and the City has had difficulty in enforcing the intent. At its March 3, 2025, meeting, the City Council authorized staff to work with the City Attorney to begin drafting text amendments to clarify the ordinance’s intent. The proposed ordinance amendments include restricting on-street parking of trailers to period of 24 cumulative hours over a seven-day period and stating that a trailer moved less than three tenths of a mile from its original location will be considered to have remained parked. Staff recommended approval of the proposed ordinance amendments to the Planning Commission, who held a public hearing at its March 27, 2025, meeting. Following discussion, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance amendments to the City Council. Staff recommends Council approve the ordinance amending the Parking Ordinance. G.6 Approve Shores of Oneka 5th Addition Final Plat and Development Agreement M/I Homes is requesting approval of a final plat and development agreement in order to plat the remaining 52 single family lots on an outlot in The Shores of Oneka Lake development. The lots meet the minimum lot standards and requirements outlined in the regulations for The Shores of Oneka Lake PUD. Staff recommends approval the resolution approving the Final Plat and Development Agreement for The Shores of Oneka Lake 5th Addition. G.7 Approve Resolution Approving Variance for 4938 121st Street North Julie and Greg Manning have requested a variance to allow for the construction of a 2,336 square foot attached garage and car port, where an attached garage of 1,678.25 square feet is allowed by ordinance. The applicants have indicated that they would build a larger attached garage in place of any accessory buildings. The applicants have agreed not to construct any accessory buildings on the property as a condition of approval for the variance. There are practical difficulties in that the lot is surrounded by all sides by other parcels, and the proposed variance meets the spirit and intent of the ordinance with there being several buffers between the proposed garage and the view of the road and any adjacent parcels. Staff recommended approval of the variance to the Board of Zoning Appeals and Adjustments, who held a public hearing at its March 13, 2025, meeting and considered the request. Following discussion, the Board voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve the resolution approving the variance request for 4938 121st Street North.
