-18- • <br /> to resident input and, hopefully, finally writing a ..workable <br /> law which will -get to the bottom of the .-problems residents <br /> are complaining about. • He said this supported his <br /> contention that-'the Council does listen to the residents and <br /> is sincere about getting .an enforceable Ordinance; <br /> -cautioned against writing an Ordinance which resulted in <br /> "a -parade of people" coming before the Council to .get . <br /> variances. <br /> Ranallo -said he still thought most -people wanted some restriction <br /> of the number of vehicles and .wondered if five might .be a <br /> more reasonable number for the vehicles listed in the ordi- <br /> nance as long as they can only be parked on surfaced areas. <br /> Makowske -said she didn' t think it was the number of vehicles that <br /> bothered most people but rather most of the residents who <br /> had called her had been more concerned about the appearance <br /> of lawns after cars are parked on them all winter. <br /> Ranallo -said one of his -callers had complained about a large <br /> sailboat which had been parked on. his neighbor' s lawn for <br /> a long time and even hung out over the City' s boulevard. <br /> Marks reiterated that he still maintained the . timing aspects of <br /> any restrictions had to be addressed. <br /> Soth said it would be easy to write procedures into the Ordinance <br /> but perceived the City would have to be very specific <br /> regarding the number of vehicles which could be. parked. in an ;. <br /> area for a specified time. He suggested the Council might <br /> even have to address the question of whether the vehicles <br /> were owned or operated by the homeowners. <br /> In regard to the number of unrelated persons who would be allowed to live <br /> inea *residence, Mr'. Lofgren suggested the Council might want to specify . <br /> that "only a homeowner and three unrelated persons could live ,in; a <br /> residence" because he- perceived an owner wouldn' t want to "trash his .own <br /> investment. " There was general agreement that specifying four unrelated <br /> persons in this manner might .provide a satisfactory method of 'preventing <br /> what Councilmember Makowske had been afraid of. <br /> Council Action <br /> Motion by': Ranallo;, seconded by Makowske -to --request--,the.
