<br />Attachments: <br /> <br />1. Edited version of Section 9.11.08 (Off-Street Parking) <br />2. Current Chapter 9 defInitions <br />3. City Council meeting minutes dated January 22,2008 <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Per Council's direction, the proposed ordinance was drafted to regulate outdoor storage on <br />residential parcels based on an aggregate number of items, regardless if they are vehicles or <br />recreational equipment. The main points of the proposed ordinance are as follows: <br /> <br />1. 5 items allowed for outdoor storage and parking on parcels less than 5 acres in size. <br /> <br />2. 8 items allowed for outdoor storage and parking on parcels 5 acres or more in size. <br /> <br />3. Items stored or parked in rear or side yards shall maintain a 5 foot setback" from property <br />lines, unless there is screening in place such as a privacy fence. <br /> <br />4. Items stored or parked separate from other items shall count as 1 item each; multiple <br />items stored or parked on a trailer, for instance, count as 1 item. (Example: 2 <br />snowmobiles and an empty trailer on the ground are 3 items; 2 snowmobiles on a trailer <br />are 1 item). <br /> <br />5. Items that will count towards the number restriction include, but are not limited to, the <br />following examples: vehicles, RV's, campers, boats, canoes, snowmobiles, jet-skis, <br />A TV's, go-carts, motocross bikes, motorcycles, and other recreational equipment. <br /> <br />6. Items that will not count towards the number restriction include those items typically <br />seen as accessory to a residential use. Examples would be lawnmowers, garden tractors <br />and attachments, bicycles, wheelbarrows, play structures, step ladders, and other items <br />used for lawn maintenance. <br /> <br />7. Items stored outside, even though they may comply with the number restriction, are still <br />subject to the public nuisance regulations in Chapter 5. <br /> <br />8. Equipment will be required to be stored or parked on a prepared parking surface, like <br />vehicles. <br /> <br />9. The material for the prepared parking surface must be at least 2 inches in depth. It is <br />reiterated that Code requires the surface to be applied under the entire vehicle or <br />equipment and extend 12 inches beyond the perimeter of the vehicle or equipment. <br /> <br />10. Vehicles or equipment for a commercial use will count towards the maximum number of <br />items allowed to be parked or stored outside. <br /> <br />26 <br />
