-13- <br />Councilman Hodges stated he preferred fitted tarpaulin than <br />having the vehicles just sitting there, particularly race cars. <br />Mayor Johnson stated that a man who intends to keep and maintain <br />a race car would probably put it in a covered enclosure. <br />Councilman Pickar stated that Council is banning such vehicles <br />from the city. What type of screening is it we are allowing? <br />Councilman Shelquist answered perhaps a 5' or 6' fence <br />alongside the garage. Councilman Pickar stated that we are <br />again asking the police to define what a suitable screen is. <br />Councilman Pickar also suggested exempting servicemen's autos <br />and race cars where insurance.is unobtainable, as are motor <br />homes under Section 5, Subdivision 7. <br />Councilman Pickar offered as an amendment a Subdivision 8 <br />stating that servicemen's (currently on active duty) autos <br />and race cars where insurance is unobtainable shall be exempt <br />from screening provisions of Subdivision 3 and Subdivision 6 <br />if such vehicles comply with all other subdivisions of this <br />chapter. <br />Motion died for lack of second. <br />Councilman Shelquist offered as an amendment an addition <br />to Section 5, Subdivision 7 after "if such motor homes comply <br />with all other provisions of this chapter" add "and to Chapter <br />40 of the Zoning Ordinance ". <br />Motion died for lack of second. <br />Councilman Shelquist stated the new zoning code restricts <br />where they are allowed. Adm. Achen noted the new zoning code <br />reference is to recreational vehicles, not motor homes. Recre- <br />ational vehicles are pickups with campers, convertible units. <br />Adm. Achen pointed out that the only difference from the <br />original ordinance is exempting motor homes. The police dept. <br />is very concerned that Council back up whatever ordinance is <br />adopted. Do they issue more tickets and have more complaints? <br />Councilman Shelquist stated enforce the ordinance; I intend <br />to back them up. <br />Atty. Meyers noted that at the beginning Council didn't want <br />people storing junk on their property, now we're on licenseing. <br />We're getting too far from the main point. We're getting into <br />zoning. The criteria is not licensing, it is junk. <br />Roll call vote on the main motion: <br />Councilman Shelquist - aye <br />Councilman Hodges - aye <br />Councilman Baumgartner - aye <br />Councilman Pickar - aye <br />Mayor Johnson - aye <br />
