UntitledTO: Zoning and Planning Commission
FROM: Nancy S. Anderson NS
SUBJECT: Recreational Facilities
I have looked into the subject of recreational
facilities in residential areas and it seems that there
is no clear cut ordinance written to address this
problem. Minneapolis has started dealing with
skateboard ramps, however, there is no ordinance
written as of yet. Minnetonka allows recreational
facilities and structures provided they contain less
than 1000 square feet of gross floor area. This
probably still would allow the ramp in Interlachen,
however the 1000 sq. ft. could be modified to a smaller
figure. Even if the 1000 sq. ft. was changed to 500, a
smaller ramp could be built and the same problem of
noise would exist. An ordinance could be written that
details what is allowed and not allowed, however, as a
new fad occurs the ordinance will have to be changed.
The ordinance could become quite long and complicated.
The City Attorney and staff is of the opinion that
recreational equipment should be handled as a nuisance.
The existing ramp in Interlachen is being dealt with by
the City Attorney as a nuisance.
No.

funds or credit with the drawee.
