SUBJECT: Proposed Text Amendments
DATE: November 13, 2012
City staff has been working together on some proposed text amendments to the zoning and
subdivision codes. Staff plans to schedule a public hearing on December 11, 2012 for the
proposed changes.
Title 11 Subdivision Regulations
Definitions
Seasonal High Water Mark: It is being proposed to modify the definition by eliminating the
wording the elevation of mottled soil since the term mottled soil is not used anywhere within the
subdivision code.
11 -3 -4 Utility Easements
Current code requires a minitnuml0 -foot drainage and utility easement along front and rear lot
lines. The Engineering Department has determined that a minimum 5 -foot drainage and utility
easement along the front and rear lot lines is adequate.
Title 12 Zoning Regulations
Definitions
Animals, farm: It is being proposed to amend the definition to further define bogs as swine
(inchiding Vietnamese pot - bellied pigs)
12 -13 -8 Striping
City code states parking stalls shall be marked with white or yellow painted lines. According to
the Miruiesota Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD), parking space markings
are required to be white. Engineering Department is proposing that parking stalls be marked in
white painted lines only to comply with federal and state requirements.
12 -13 -8 Off - Street Parking Requirements
There have been recent issues in which commercial properties parking/drive areas are not being
maintained (potholes and gravel patches riddle the parking and drive areas). Current code does
not require the on -going maintenance of these areas. Because of public safety and aesthetic
seasoning's, staff will propose language that will require the upkeep /maintenance of these areas.
Title 8 Public Ways and Property
8 -1 -1 Improvements to Boulevard Areas
Code allows improvements within the boulevard areas as long as the improvements do not
interfere during snowplowing. Engineering Department is proposing to not allow tree plantings
within the boulevard area; unless it is approved as part of the platting process, because of the
potential damage and interference with utilities and snowplowing.
