Your letter suggests that the Zoning Code be amended so as to establish a special parking zone to retain the current resi- dential zoning classification, while at the same time permit the parking of cars on the required yards as an exception to the provisions of the Zoning Code . Amendments to the Zoning Code may be initiated by the City Council or by the Planning Commission. If initiated by the Council , the Planning Commission' s review and recommendation must be obtained prior to adoption by the Council . This referral and study is commonly referred to as the "40 acre study" , and can be initiated by the Council adopting a resolution setting forth the scope of proposed amendments and requesting the review and recommendation of the Planning Commission. In the event you wish to proceed in that manner, I have prepared for your consideration a draft resolution and attach it to this letter. In the alternative to a Zoning Code amendment, you may wish to consider an amendment to the Legislative Code to provide for an exemption from the provisions of sections 157 .04 (which prohibits parking of vehicles on lawns) and 157 . 15 (1 ) (which prohibits driving across sidewalks or boulevards) , and possibly a licensing ordinance for this particular activity, including provisions for ins�irance , surety bond to repair damaged public property, limitation on number of days and hours of the permitted parking activity, and a limitation on number of days and hours of the permitted parking activity, and a limitation on the number of cars that can be parked on a residential lot. The problems posed by following the second alternative would . • • • � ��//O� Council Member Kiki Sonnen Page Two April 4, 1988 be that the use of the required yards for parking and the business use of the residentially zoned property in a residentially zoned district would violate the Zoning Code provisions , so therefore it will be necessary to also provide for a Zoning Code amendment. Please advise me if you wish to discuss this. You very truly, 4 � '� + , 1 . _ `i JEROM� J .

During last summer, in the Como neighborhood, State Fair police began enforcing existing laws wh�ch prohibit cars from crossing curbs, boulevards and sidewalks. As in past� years, neighbors opposed to parking cars in yards called for enforcement of zoning laws which prohibit parked cars in front and side yards. Neighbors� who have traditionally relied on the revenues from parking cars complain�ed about the enforcement. Police responded by saying they cannot decide ;which laws to enforce and which to overlook. After that controversy, a �community meeting on the issue was held in the winter. At the meeting, Chief McCutcheon proposed a "special zoning area" be set up which would allow people to park cars during the State Fair with perhaps some provisions fQr bonds and insurance to address the issue of cars wearing down curbs and bo�levards. Meanwhile, District 10 established a committee to also look at some options. The committee decided to do a community survey. It's my understanding this survey showed a fairly ev,'en split between those who favor and those who oppose yard parking. 1 asked the City Attorney to draft an ordinance along the lines of McCutcheon's suggestion. ; Jerry Segal responded in an April 4 memo to me, that the Council could n�t adopt such an ordinance absent a 40-acre study by the Planning Commission. Although such a study would probably not be ready for this year's State Fair, the 40-acre study process could aid in resolving this issue by the CITY HALL SEVENTH FL,OOR SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102 612i298-5378 i 6�46 _ . .. .._ . ` . - : . � , , ��o� }� .
