• <br />• <br />Planning & Zoning Board <br />June 11, 1997 <br />Page 5 <br />Mr. Gelbmann noted that the City's population has doubled in the past five to ten <br />years, which has created changes in the character of the community. The <br />regulations that come before the Board are not one - sided. Arguments on both <br />sides are heard. This ordinance will treat all situations in a balanced way and <br />allow people to store RV's with a limited impact on their neighbors. <br />Mr. Herr stated that he would like to encourage residents to support the <br />proposed changes. <br />Chair Schaps suggested dropping the reference to "parking" and only use the <br />word "store." The City already has a parking ordinance, and he is not certain <br />that the definition should be extended. <br />Chair Schaps noted that requiring registered vehicles is an attempt to avoid large <br />piles of junk. <br />Mr. Gelbmann agreed and acknowledged that while people may have hobbies <br />with restoring old vehicles, it is inappropriate to have multiple vehicles in various <br />stages of assembly in their yard, but he is not sure how to address this issue. <br />Mr. Kirmis stated that if the reference to "parking" is eliminated, there may be <br />questions as to how the ordinance is to be interpreted. He would prefer to keep <br />the references to parking to make sure it is clear how the ordinance shall be <br />applied. <br />Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to recommend City Council adoption of the <br />amended ordinance regarding storage of recreational vehicles with the following <br />provisions: <br />1. The vehicles are registered or rented by a resident of the dwelling on such <br />site, provided that: <br />2. The vehicles have affixed thereto current registration or license plates as <br />required by law. <br />3. The vehicles are stored no closer than five (5) feet from side and rear lot <br />lines. <br />4. The vehicles located within front yard areas are confined to designated <br />driveways �r parking areas surfaced in compliance with Section 8, Subd. <br />4(3) of this ordinance. <br />5. All front yard storage comply with the following setbacks from street curb <br />or pavement lines: <br />
