118 COUNCIL MEETING June 23, 1986 Page Two Mr. Al Ross asked Ms. Brown if she worked with area churches. She said she did and made it a point of calling all the churches to offer her services. The Council thanked Ms. Brown for coming tonight. Mike Holmes - Truck Parking - Mr. Holmes, 7769 Country Lane ap- peared tonight to discuss the parking of large vehicles on resi- dential lots. He had talked to the Council about this matter some time ago. The City Code states that there will be no park- ing of vehicles weighing over 11,075 lbs. on residential lots. However, at the time he discussed this with the Council it was decided that this portion of the City Code would not be enforced, only upon complaint basis. There has been a complaint received regarding a semi truck trailer parked on Mr. Holmes property. Mr. Holmes explained it is a 30 foot army mobile office trailer that he plans to restore and use as a home at his lake property. It would be brought back and forth to his home much as a travel trailer. Mr. Holmes has talked to his neighbors and they are not bothered by this vehicle. Mr. Kluegel explained he did receive an anonymous complaint that this trailer was being used for storage. Mr. Holmes said it was not being used for storage, however he was working on it. Mr. Kluegel said he has a problem with the Council decision regard- ing large vehicles on residential lots. He feels he will receive additional requests if Mr. Holmes is allowed to continue on his lot. Mayor Benson asked that Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Kluegel bring a recommendation on this matter at a future Council Meeting. Mr. Marier noted that Mr. Kluegel is responsible for enforcing the City Code.
