STAFF REPORT <br /> DATE: July 22, 1992 <br /> TO: Mayor & Councilmembers <br /> FROM: Thomas D. Burt, City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Status of the Ad hoc Committee on Parking Ordinance <br /> There was a clear consensus of the committee that members are pleased and proud of their <br /> community and would like to preserve it. The committee also agreed that they would like <br /> to see their neighborhoods clean and a standard developed defining a minimum level. <br /> There was agreement that the City was visually in good condition (image) and there are only <br /> a few residents who do not have the same sense of community and do not maintain their <br /> property at a residential norm. <br /> • The committee had the following ideas as possible ways to accomplish the issue of image <br /> and neighborhood aesthetics versus the proposed parking ordinance. <br /> - Property Maintenance Code: The City is working on a housing maintenance code <br /> that establishes a minimum standard for housing and yard maintenance. Members <br /> felt this could be expanded to include all property maintenance. A suggestion was <br /> made to add a provision that would say "Any property located within the confines of <br /> the property lines must be kept in a neat and orderly manner." Staff will work with the <br /> City Attorney to look into this idea to define such a statement. This would be similar <br /> to the City's nuisance ordinance. <br /> - Require Permits: A suggestion was made to require all properties with commercial, <br /> recreational vehicles, recreational and utility trailers or watercraft to get a permit <br /> from the city. This could possibly require the neighbor to discuss the location of such <br /> vehicles and how it would be screened, the length of time it would be parked there, <br /> the method of how it would be stored (ie. tarp, etc,) and establish a minimum level <br /> of maintenance. The committee had concern on the dollar amount of a permit and <br /> suggest the permit be at no cost or a minimal charge to cover administrative costs <br /> ($5.00). <br /> The permit would be an agreement of how the property would be stored and <br /> maintained. When application is made, they would be given information on frequent <br /> i <br /> n <br />
