Al Zepper, 5255 Irondale Road stated that every manufacturer of auto's now <br />makes one ton pickups. <br />Bonnie Carlson, 2646 Clearview Avenue said that this indicates that there should <br />be some updating of our zoning regulations to allow the parking of ordinary <br />vehicles at least in our driveways. <br />Jim Nerdahl stated that it should be taken into consideration if a man has <br />to make a living using a commercial vehicle. He said he wouldn't like his <br />neighbor to start up a big diesel at 4 o'clock in the morning and let it run <br />for 45 minutes though. <br />Gerald Tesch stated that he goes along with what Mr. Nerdahl said and has <br />personally lived alongside a truck driver for the past 21 years and his truck <br />parked there has never affected them. He stated that he is a furniture mover and <br />has other peoples posessions on his truck and the man can't leave this parked <br />on public property because it could be stolen. The best place for it is <br />along side his home. He also said it has never affected him when his neighbor <br />has started up his truck at night and it is 22 feet from his bedroom window. <br />Pat GUi, 7305 Greenwood Drive asked who had started all this. Mayor Neisen <br />replied that it had started with a neighborhood fued about a year ago and <br />since has been brought up in different areas throughout the City. <br />Nello DiGiovanni, 5120 Long Lake Road said he has lived in the City for 20 <br />years and has never seen a truck parked in front of anyone's home as a permanent <br />fixture. He did not think it right to deprive a person to park in his yard <br />for a day or two at a time. <br />William Lovegren, 5169 Edgewood Drive stated that he was under the assumption <br />that this would also affect recreational vehicles parking on the street or <br />private property. Mayor Neisen answered that it would not as the way the <br />notice went in the paper and newsletter was to have restrictions for the parking <br />of certain commercial vehicles. <br />Allen Zepper stated that commercial vehicles can be anything with a Y plate and <br />that could be anything from a small ranchero to a large semi. Mayor Neisen <br />said that a commercial vehicle could also be a private car. <br />Jim Nerdahl said a pickup can be termed as commercial or recreational by obtaining <br />a Y or an X license plate from the State. <br />Mrs, Kieffer, 5180 Bona Road said she thought we are discriminating against <br />people according to their jobs, and their way of earning a living. <br />Darcie Bosell, 2601 Ridge Lane asked if this would prohibit any commercial <br />vehicle regardless of size and wondered if it concerned a 1/2 ton pickup. Mayor <br />Neisen answered that it could and that is where the decision lies and why the <br />hearing is being held. He stated that the hearing is to determine how to control <br />a commercial vehicle in residentail areas and no decision has been made how or <br />if an ordinance would be drawn up. <br />Bonnie Carlson asked if we had any law on the books now that would relate to <br />something that is unsightly so that there would not be a need to pass this <br />ordinance. She thought it could come under a nuisance. Attorney Meyers replied <br />that under 81.02 no one can park a truck on the street for more than 2 hours <br />per day and there is something in the zoning ordinance which tries to cover that. <br />
