The City of Elk River has had a number of <br />complaints relating to vehicles for sale. Frequently, residents park these vehicles <br />on their lawns or in the public right-of-way (ROW). Unfortunately, this leads to <br />erosion, traffic problems, and other safety concerns. The City Council directed <br />staff to prepare an ordinance amendment to address these issues. <br /> <br />The city has had limited success in resolving these parking issues. Part of the <br />problem is that the zoning department frequently gets the complaint calls, but <br />we have a limited ability to resolve the problems. On the other hand, the police <br />department has the power to tag the offending vehicles and have them towed. <br />Chief Zerwas believes that this ordinance would be most effective if the police <br />have the power to tag violators. Therefore, staff is recommending that the <br />parking regulations in Chapter 11 be amended. <br /> <br />Commissioner Minton stated the ordinance doesn't deal with partnerships. <br /> <br />Chair Dillon opened the public hearing. There being no comments from the <br />public, Chair Dillon closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONER MINTON MOVED THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND <br />APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY THE CITY OF ELK RIVER FOR ORDINANCE <br />AMENDMENT RELATING TO THE SALE OF VEHICLES ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE <br />PROPERTY, PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO OA 96-7, AND THE FACT THERE WAS NO <br />OPPOSITION DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Over the past several months, the City has been <br />meeting with LeFebvre and Morrell Trucking to discuss the possibility of <br />developing two parcels of land along 171 st to accommodate the relocation of <br />both of the trucking operations. The location of which the two trucking <br />businesses would like to relocate is within the City's urban service boundary. <br />However, since city utilities are not immediately available, the current ordinance <br />would not allow development. <br /> <br />In order to allow this development to occur, the City Council will need to either <br />amend the city ordinance allowing development prior to city water and sewer, <br />or make some other special provision for LeFebvre and Morrell Trucking without <br />amending the entire ordinance. <br /> <br />Even though the Planning Commission has requested that the ordinance <br />amendment be tabled indefinitely, State Statutes have provisions allowing the <br />City Council to take action following the elapse of 60 days from the date of <br />reference of the amendment without a report by the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Commissioner Minton commented that the Planning Commission has discussed <br />
