major problem in the northwest area and that the need for facilities of this type is
evident in the community. .He stated that nothing in the resolution addresses the
qualifications for a special use permit, and that parking on the site could be
expanded to accommodate eight cars, which would be in compliance with the City's
zoning ordinance.
- Mayor Nyquist inquired of Mr. Wilson what facts in the resolution were erroneous.
Mr. Wilson stated that the reference to the proximity of the nearest park in the
resolution is irrelevant, and that the building meets all the local requirements for
R2 zoning' and required space for residents. He stated that nothing in the
resolution addresses issues relevant to the denial of the special use permit.

ORDINANCES
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 35 OF THE CITY ORDINANCES TO ALLOW MANUFACTURED
DOUSING IN THE R1 ATE R2 Z N TG DI`TR�Z`T '
die - ire or o ? a`nning ee-c 'ion - explained that the statute regarding
manufactured housing is offered in response to a 1982 state law amending Minnesota
Statutes 462.357, Subdivision 1, which provides that the no regulations can be
enacted prohibiting manufactured homes 'Quilt in conformance with Minnesota
Statutes, Sections 327.31 through 327.35. He referred Council members to a
memorandum from himself to the City Tanager, dated June 10, 1983, regarding the
zoning ordinance amendment on manufactured housing.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired why 320 sq. ft was specified in the ordinance. The
Planning Director stated that the definition of a manufactured home is a minimum of
320 sq. ft. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he was concerned with such a small
minimum sq. footage.
6 -13 -83 -8-
At.the request of Councilmember Ihotka, the Director of Planning & Inspection
reviewed the requirements for permanent foundations in the City zoning ordinance.
He added that, under the City's zoning ordinance there is no minimum sq. footage for
single family homes. He added that,. the reason for the 18' width and depth
requirement in the ordinance is to address the fact of how the manufactured homes
would be situated on the lot.
The City Attorney stated that, as a practical matter, mobile homes are now
manufactured in 14' widths. He noted that a double wide mobile home would be 28' in
width. He added that he doubts that anyone will manufacture an 18' wide mobile home
unit. He stated that the purpose in increasing the width is related to the
prevention of fire hazards, since increasing the width reduces the fire hazard risk.
The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that 320 sq. ft. is how the state law
defines mobile homes. He added that, theoretically, someone could request a
dimension of 18' by 18' under the ordinance but that an individual could request the
same size "stick built" home since there is no minimum sq. footage currently under
the City's zoning ordinance.
Councilmember I,hotka stated that he would like to see the particular section of the
building code regarding how a home must be attached to a foundation.
There was a motion by Councilmember ILhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to
delay the first reading of the Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Ordinances
to Allow Manufactured Housing in the R1 and R2 Zoning Districts until additional
information on the ordinance can be presented at the June 27, 1983 City Council
meeting. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers I,hotka, Scott, Hawes,
and Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 35 OF THE CITY ORDINANCES TO CLASSIFY A PORTION OF 69TH
AVIl`� NORM AS A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE
The City Mager stated that the portion of 69th Avenue specified in the ordinance
had previously been a county road and now the City owns the road, and the staff is
recommending designation of the road as a major thoroughfare so that it would apply
to the proper City ordinances.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
approve for first reading An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Ordinances to
Classify a Portion of 69th Avenue North as a major thoroughfare, and to set the
public hearing for the ordinance at 8:00 p.m. on July 11, 1983. Voting in favor:
Mayor Nyquist, Council-members I,hotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against:
none. The motion passed unanimously.
DDISCUSSION ITEMS (CONTINUED
Z`�� N PARK REG TI S
The Manager stated that the proposed changes in park regulations include
prohibition of glass containers, bringing refuse to City parks, and authorizing the
City Manager to post certain regulatory signs. He explained that the Park &
Recreation Commission has reviewed and discussed the various proposals and that if
the Council grants the authorization he would prepare the appropriate ordinance
language for Council consideration.
Councilmember Theis inquired whether glass containers referred to beverage
6- 13 -83_ -9-
containers. The City Manager stated that the glass containers prohibited would be
limited to beverage containers: Councilmember Theis then inquired why refuse was
being addressed in the proposed ordinance change. The City Tanager explained that
visitors to the parks, and also some contractors, sometimes fill the containers•with
rubbish from their homes or work sites. Councilmember Theis inquired how the
situation of someone emptying their car ash trays into the refuse containers would
be handled. The City Attorney stated that he would be working on ordinance language
that would differentiate between trash brought in from outside and trash from
legitimate activities in the park.
Councilmember Theis stated that, with regard to the City Manager posting certain
regulatory signs; he is concerned_ with posting items that have no legal teeth. He
added that he would like to see items come back to the City Council for final approval
before they become law. The City Attorney stated that he believes eventually the
courts will rule that cities must enforce safety codes referred to by signs. He
noted that, votes in the Minnesota Supreme Court in the area of fire safety in
similar situations, have been five to four votes against holding municipalities
liable. In consideration of the courts actions and trends in this area, he stated
that he believes signs should be warning signs only. As an example, he stated that
"no swimming" signs could be posted but that no tags would be issued for violation.
He pointed out that other areas such as protection of landscaping, wildlife, etc.,
should be enforced by tagging. He noted that, other areas which could be addressed
by the authorization.of the City Manager to post certain regulatory signs, are
situations where people are already breaking the law, such as allowing the City
Planager to close a park due to a riot.
There was a consensus of Council members to authorize the staff to prepare ordinance
language for the proposed changes.in park regulations.
