TO: Honorable Mayor Wayne G. Salentine
Members of the Public Safety Committee
FROM: Chief Johnson
RE: Memo of March 17, 1986
Weight Limitation Enforcement
After reviewing the City Ordinance and State laws, the
Police Department would take the following position if a
businessman operating a vehicle over 6000 pounds were using Class
"B" city roads to ingress and egress his residence for which he
was granted a variance to park his business vehicle there.
• If the City would allow such a zoning variance, we (the
Police Department) would interpret the variance as a message from
the Common Council that they also understand that the businessman
will operate an overweight vehicle on city roads.
The applicable weight statutes could be broadly interpreted
to allow for this situation, and, therefore, the Police Department
would allow this business now to operate overweight vehicles for
the purpose of ingress and egress to his residence.
I do, however, feel the need to state that such a variance
Policy would bring other business people who operate overweight
vehicles and park them in other than residential areas to ask for
the same consideration.
Not only would this be a problem keeping track of who has
permission and who doesn't but it's been our experience that
neighbors would object very strongly to such variances.
