He was supported by Dahl. Motion carried unanimously, 7 -0. IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Future Work Session to Discuss Recreational Vehicle Ordinance Mr. Wessel stated that there will be a future work session to discuss recreational vehicles (RV). There are strong opinions on this issue, and the City Council has asked for direction from the Board. Ms. Wyland stated that Mayor Landers has received a letter from residents requesting that a public meeting not be held in February, which is prime time for RV owners to be out of the state. Chair Schaps stated that it would not be productive to have a work session until a public meeting has been held. He recommended a public meeting in April. Mr. Johnson asked if the RV issue would hold up approval of the Zoning Ordinance. Chair Schaps responded that adoption of the Zoning Ordinance will not be delayed by the subsection on RV's. Mr. Wessel stated that the City Council plans another review of the Zoning Ordinance changes. The sections relating to RV's will remain the same until this public meeting process is completed. He noted that many residents are not aware that there is an ordinance in place on RV's. Mr. Dunn stated that he believes it would be beneficial for the Board to discuss the RV issue as a group before the public hearing. The Board has approved the Zoning Ordinance with changes to the RV section. It is vital that the Board revisit that decision to see if opinions have changed before meeting with the public. It is his hope that the Board will hold to the ordinance that has been recommended. It was the consensus of the Board to schedule the public hearing on RV issues related to the Zoning Ordinance in April, 1997.
