Planning Commission meeting minutes dated March 6,2008 <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. That ordinance was presented to the Planning Commission for a public <br />hearing on March 6, 2008. 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 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, the <br />same as motorized vehicles. <br /> <br />9.
