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