Planning Commission Minutes — April 24, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br />Rachel read a section of the code dealing with trailers allowed on a lot, and the conditions <br />required. <br />Rosenquist thought that the number of trailers allowed on the property should be limited to one. <br />McRoberts stated that by relaxing the standards, it could cause a visual blight and he thought the <br />trailers should be screened as well. <br />Rachel pointed out a portion of the ordinance that states that trailers must be adequately <br />screened. <br />McRoberts asked that the word adequately be removed because it is not definite enough. <br />Schumann asked whether only the smaller business vehicle would be the one allowed to park in <br />the driveway, or would the large one also be allowed to park there. <br />Bryan mentioned that they should focus on the extra vehicle and the size of that extra vehicle, <br />because the ordinance limits the space and location of trailers, and other storage areas. <br />McRoberts motioned, Rosenquist seconded, to approve the text amendment with modifications <br />to the text in SUBD. 2 Letter J to require the larger vehicle to have straight chassis and not <br />including trailers, and modifications to SUBD. 13, Letter B to only allow the smaller business <br />vehicle, under 9,200 pounds, to park in the driveway, and to remove the word "adequately" from <br />the ordinance. <br />All Ayes, Motion Carries <br />Nuisance Ordinance Text Amendment Regarding Noise <br />Associate Planner, Rachel Simone gave a background on the current ordinance and what changes <br />to the text were proposed. The code enforcement subcommittee determined that the existing <br />language was adequate with the exception of car stereos. Rachel read the proposed ordinance <br />text changes. She added they could also make a restriction regarding the time that this could be <br />enforced. <br />Schumann asked staff if they were aware of any problems with this from other communities. <br />McRoberts asked why this was specific to motorized vehicles and not a home as well. <br />Brian assured the commission that the current code can enforce the noise at a home, but that it is <br />hard to enforce a moving vehicle without a text amendment to the ordinance specifically for cars. <br />He added that the ordinance currently covers motors or vehicles in disrepair but does not cover <br />the issues with music and other audio. <br />Schumann opened the public hearing. <br />Schumann closed the public hearing. <br />
