<br />Mayor Gamec reiterated his suggestion for 3 items on parcels of 1 acres or less and 6 items for <br />parcels larger than 1 acre. He stated that vehicles and items could be considered two different <br />things. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen clarified that Mayor Gamec's suggestion was that 3 items, not vehicles, <br />be allowed on parcels 1 acre or less. He asked ifR.V.'s and ice houses would be considered an <br />item or a vehicle. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that anything other than a licensed motor vehicle would be <br />considered an item. <br /> <br />CouncilmemberElvig stated that he thinks he can agree with Mayor Gamec's ideas, including <br />that vehicles need to be on an improved surface. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Miller asked whether there should be improved surfaces for <br />trailers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that he didn't think so. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated that if the trailers are in the sideyard; he thinks they should be on <br />an improved surface. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested leaving trailers with recreational vehicles and other items right now. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich noted that this will require another public hearing by the Planning <br />Commission and asked if the Council felt another discussion at a work session would be <br />necessary . <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he thinks the Council has agreed that motor vehicles have to be on <br />improved surfaces, connected to driveways and that for parcels 1 acre or less, people can have up <br />to 3 items and for parcels over 1 acres they can have up to 6 items. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that while he agrees with requiring improved surfaces for vehicles, <br />he does not agree that they should be connected to a driveway because it would ruin property in <br />the rural areas. He suggested having a 25 foot setback requirement from lot lines on an <br />improved surface, for vehicles. He stated that perhaps there could also be a screening <br />requirement, such as a 25 foot setback from lot line or screened if it is closer, but no closer than 5 <br />feet. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that this wouldn't clear up all the issues, because the blue van <br />would still be parked in the same place. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that the Council keeps talking about the blue van and feels this is worrying <br />too much about one situation and beating this horse to death. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / June 3, 2008 <br />Page 9 of 16 <br />
