Mansion on the Hill Controversy Continues

Remember Beverly’s PDD post in April about the house that chewed its way into Duluth’s western Skyline?

There’s a resolution on next Monday’s Duluth City Council agenda requesting that no parking be allowed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on the pull-off area of Skyline Parkway near the house.

The resolution (09-0600R) is being proposed by Councilor Tony Cuneo.

“RESOLVED, that the city council hereby requests that the city administration, in accordance with the provisions of Section 33-97 of the Duluth City Code, 1959, as amended, establish no parking 10:00 p.m. through 6:00 a.m. at the following location: the pull-off area on the south side of Skyline Parkway 0.41 mile east of 40th Avenue West.”

Councilor Cuneo, by the way, has been doing his best to encourage the public to attend meetings and get involved in the process of adopting Duluth’s new zoning code.

Perhaps this code shouldn’t allow houses in places that cause everyone in the vicinity to freak out and wonder how in the world a house was built there.
