REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 7, 1973 PAGE 3
The City Attorney recalled at the last meeting of the Council the item had
been tabled because of a question that the proposed ordinance may be inconsistant
with Chapter 38.05 of the existing City Code. He expla�ned within the new
codification, thts section had been eliminated, and this would not be in confl7ct
w�th the new codtfication. The City Attorney outlined the previous action of
the Council on the item and said the proposed ordinance had been recommended
by the Police �epartment and Councilman Utter had some question on the weight
limitations at the previous meeting. The City Attorney said he had no strong
feelings on the limitations contained in the ordinance, but felt they would
be best enforced if the limitation wou�ld not come between two classif�cations
as set up in licensing of the vehicles. He further explained at the limits
of 10,000 pounds and 12,000 pounds, there would be a split in the classification,
and if the Council would see fit to reduce the amount, it would be suitable
to use the figure of 9,000 rather than 10,000. The Gity Attorney stressed
the importance of the adoption of the ordinance with the limitation being
consistant with the classifications and suggested it 6e 9,000, 11,000 or
13,000 pounds.
Councilman Breider agreed. Mayor Lieb7 recommended the Council approve the
13,000 pound limitatton and added, it would be less than what is 6eing
parked in the residential streets at the present time.
Mayor Liebl read the proposed ordinance aloud to the Council and audience.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt the first reading and amend the ordinance
changing the gross weight limitahon from 12,000 to 13,006 pounds. Seconded

Mayor Liebl referred to the letter submitted by the Ernst House Moving Company
and said tt was self explanatory. He thought that Mississippi had become
too congested for house mov�ng and also too busy. He mentioned the increase �
in the amount of utilities in the area and also the installation of the new
cabie lines for televis�on.
Counczlman Breider said there would be a question in the amount of each move
if it would rema�n at $65 per move. The City Engineer said the City had been
following the schedule set up by the City of Minneapolis, and he agreed there
would be a problem with requ�ring the fee of $65 per move.
The City Engineer stressed the importance of the City requtring the fee each
time a house was to be moved and sa7d basically, there are not any houses
being moved into the City, they would be moved through the City from Minneapolis
to the north. He repeated the need for the individual permit be�ng issued
in order to enable the C�ty to keep track of the time and date of the move.
He pointed out to the Council that the moving would be on 73rd only,
Councilman Breider said he would have no objections with the use of 73rd and
he also thou9ht the suggestions of the Acting City Manager for the fee
amounts were feasible at $5 per move.
The City Engineer further explained the need for the City being informed of the
moves using the example of the possibility of 73rd being dug up at the time
of the scheduled move. He continued by saying, this sort of activity would
have to be coordinated with the City staff. He assured the Council that
$5 wouTd cover the work ;nvoived. '
Councilman Breider asked the City Attorney if there would be soine prob7em
with the ordinance on this type of activity and if it would have to be
amended. The C�ty Attorney advised the Counci7 that the ordinance wou7d
have to be amended, but they would be able to give the applicant approval
of the request at the present time. The City Engineer said the matter was
presented to the Counc�l because the mover wanted an answer on the question
of the license fees.
P10TION by Councilman Breider to request the use of 73rd Avenue for house
moving as requested by Ernst Movers and establish a yearly license fee
to be $100 and that a bond 6e required and that a permit fee in the amount
of $5 be established for each house move. Seconded by Counci7man Nee.
Upon a vo�ce vote, Liebl, Breider, and Nee voting aye, Starwalt voting nay,
Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried three to one.
Councilman Starwalt explained he was not opposed to the action, 6ut would
like to-establish a higher amount for the permit fee.

adjoining property owner stating he has no objection to the construction.

problem of some property owner building a construction on some one

cants for variances to provide a registered land survey to protect the
people. He said this would eliminate the poss�bility of someone building
on another's land.

stated he would either have to furnish a survey or obtain a letter from
the property owner to the west of his property stating he approved of the
