OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
Terry McClellan
, 7671 Brigadoon Place, said he haslearned a lot about parking ordinances
over the last few months. There is an amendment to the parking ordinance adding one sentence
stating you can park a recreational vehicle twice a week on the street but not back to back. He
has had issues with a neighbor parking their ice house in the street in front of his property. The
police officer involved did all he could do and represented the City well. He asked when this
amendment went through.

Mayor Lund
said at least 12 years ago. He said this was the first time there has been an issue.
Mr. McClellan
said he has surveyed the neighborhood, and there are many violations regarding
parking on street.
Mayor Lund
said people leave for a long weekend and park their trailers for a day to pack or
unpack.
Mr. McClellan
said people who do that should park in front of their own property.
Mayor Lund
said Council would take a look at the ordinance.
Mr. McClellan
said he thought the ordinance was unfair. He looked into landscaping in his
front yard to mitigate the issue, but there is a City ordinance preventing him from putting in a
hedge, but a trailer on the street in front of his home is okay.
Mayor Lund
understands his point but the hedge ordinance is for people backing out of the
driveway as it would block the right of way. He encouraged Mr. McClellan to call the police to
report parking violations.

stated that on August 28, the Coon Creek Watershed and City of
Fridley maintenance project for Springbrook Creek is having a meeting at Springbrook at 6:00
