<br /> <br /> <br />Ordinance 898 Staff Report <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Planning Commission discussed this in great length at the February 4, 2015 meeting, and <br />decided to allow only “drop axle style” fish houses to be stored for any length of time on <br />residential properties. Most of these drop axle style fish houses are designed to be used all <br />year round. They are used as ice fishing houses in the winter and campers in the summer. <br />The Commissioners felt that since many of these houses are used year-round and look like a <br />cross between a camper and enclosed fiberglass trailer, having them in the front yard area is <br />no different than the allowed campers, boats or regular trailers. The Planning Commission <br />also recommends that a definition for drop axle fish house be added to the code in order to <br />assist staff with enforcement. Staff has drafted an ordinance with the proposed language. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Review Ordinance 898 with the proposed City Code amendments for changes to the nuisance <br />code relating to storage of fish houses. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
