Wells Reviews Recreational Vehicle Ordinance Against National Standards

The city of Wells is revisiting its ordinance concerning recreational vehicles and movable temporary shelters. During a meeting on September 14, city administrator Tiffany Schrader presented a memo comparing the local rules to those of other communities and the Minnesota Basic Code of Ordinances. The current ordinance allows recreational vehicles to be parked on city streets and alleys, though a 24-hour time limit applies in the C-1 and C-2 business districts.

The review noted that the current language does not clearly address all types of trailers and non-passenger vehicles. The company Blue Earth has a 48-hour limit for boats, trailers, utility trailers, and recreational vehicles, which was used as a comparison point during the review process.
