^`~ ' ~ To: Mayor and City Council MernorandUrn ~ ~ From: City Administrator City of ,~ Date : May 3 , 19 $ 4 ~k River Subject: Wapiti Park Campground, Inc . , Conditiona Use Permit Request At the March 19, 1984 meeting of the City Council, consideration was given by the City Council to a conditional use permit for the Wapiti Park Campground. City Council action at that meeting was to approve of a variety of conditions for the permit and to continue the public hearing for the purpose of establishing additional con- ditions relative to the length of stay of individuals staying at the campground. In the Staff and City Attorney's review of an appropriate condition or conditions to impose on the Wapiti Park Campgroun d relative to the length of stay, some very difficult questions developed. Conditions that might be imposed regarding length of stay were either unfair to the campground facility, difficult to enforce, or would not accomplish the stated objective of the City Council. As such the staff determined with the City Attorney that a more appropriate course of action would not be to limit specifically the length of stay, but to deal more with the use of the vehicle within the campground facility. In the Staff and City Attorney's approach to the remaining conditions on the Wapiti Park Campground, several state regulations and statutes were reviewed and will be recommended for incorporation into the conditional use permit. Copies of Minnesota Statutes 327.10 through 327.28 and Minnesota Department of Health Regulation 187 are attached for the City Council's review. As the Council can see in the review of these particular state regulations and statutes, a great deal of the language recommended for conditions in the conditional use permit comes directly from the statutory requirements already imposed upon the Wapiti Park Campground. In dealing with the remaining conditions for the Wapiti Park Campgroun d conditional use permit, it is recommended that the City Council require 1) That the provisions of the Minnesota Department of Health rules and regulations pertaining to recreational camping areas and referred to as MDH 187, and the provisions of Minnesota Statute 327.10 through 327.28 pertaining to recreational camping areas and recreational camping vehicles shall apply and be conditions within the City's conditional use permit. 2) As required in MS 327.10, all guests shall be registered on the guest register showing the permanent address of the guest. In addition, the guest register shall also show the guest's place of employment, if any. 505 U.P.A. Drive, Elk River, Minnesota 55330 [612J441-2052
