COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 10, 2003 DRAFT S535 Community Development Director Grochala stated he was concerned that removal of item P.1.a.8. 536 would not prevent more trucks from being parked there, and pointed out that on page 3-59 there are 537 some limitations. Councilmember Carlson stated that 3-73 and 3-59 were fine, but she does not want 538 them refered to in 3-37. 539 540 Councilmember O'Donnell asked if it was not restricted by saying that any vehicle has to be registered 541 to the owner. Community Development Director Grochala indicated that only refers to recreational 542 vehicles. 543 544 Councilmember Carlson indicated that she sees adding item 8 as legalizing it, whereas before it may 545 have been gray, now this validates it. 546 547 Community Development Director Grochala explained that 3-59 and 3-37 were addressing weights of 548 vehicles and restrictions for parking, whereas 3-37 only addresses what is considered outside storage. 549 Councilmember Carlson clarified that one of her concerns was with businesses being able to operate 550 on 2 %2 to 10 acre parcels. Options for wording were discussed to clarify the number of vehicles that 551 would be allowed on various sized lots. The City Attorney was asked where it would be appropriate 552 to add wording limiting the number of vehicles based on lot size. City Attorney Hawkins offered that 553 he believes it would best be suited on 3-73. 554 555 Councilmember Dahl asked for clarification on what size truck would fit under the 11,075 pounds. It 056 was determine this would include UPS trucks and other delivery vehicles, while most semis or dump 557 trucks would be over this limit. Councilmember Dahl asked what the roads were meant to handle. 558 Community Development Director Grochala indicated most are seven ton roads. 559 560 Councilmember Dahl asked for comments from the City Attorney. City Attorney Hawkins agreed 561 that the Council wants to limit the number of trucks that could be parked, as they have had problems 562 in the community, but indicated 3-73 was enforceable as it is now. He stated if the Council wanted to 563 go to 10 acres, that would be legal as well. 564 565 Councilmember O'Donnell asked if it would help to take item 8. and move it down to a provision of 566 item b. on page 3-37. Community Development Director Grochala stated that still only addresses if 567 something has to be screened. Councilmember O'Donnell commented that item b. seems to put a 568 limit on the number by requiring that they be registered to the owner of the property. Community 569 Development Director Grochala noted that if someone had 15 trucks registered to them, they would 570 still be allowed to park there, and that is why he feels they should move forward with the ordinance as 571 written and sit down and discuss options for an amendment. 572 573 Councilmember Carlson asked the City Attorney how they could amend to achieve a limit on the 574 number of vehicles. City Attorney Hawkins indicated it would have to be included on page 3-73. 575 Community Development Director Grochala suggested they could add an item 2. to K. to address 2 %2 576 acre to 10 acre parcels, but then they would be opening it up to parcels over 10 acres. He stated that 577 you also get into indoor versus outdoor and many other issues. He indicated he does not know the W578 impact, but they can add item 2. and amend it as needed if that is what the Council wants. 579 13
