<br />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, ATV's, <br />go-carts, motocross bikes, motorcycles, fish houses, and other recreational equipment. <br /> <br />5. Items that will not count towards the number restriction include those items typically seen as <br />accessory to a residential use. Examples would be lawnmowers, garden tractors and <br />attachments, bicycles, wheelbarrows, play structures, step ladders, and other items used for <br />routine home and lawn maintenance. <br /> <br />6. Items stored outside, even though they may comply with the number restriction, are still <br />subject to all other public nuisance regulations. <br /> <br />7. Equipment, as well as motorized vehicles, will be required to be stored or parked on a <br />prepared parking surface in the front and side yards. <br /> <br />8. Residents will be allowed to have one unlicensed, inoperable vehicle that may be stored <br />outdoors. Tills vehicle will not be permitted to be stored in the front yard or driveway. It must <br />be stored in the side or rear yard on a prepared surface and must be completely screened from <br />adjacent properties. It would still be subject to the public nuisance regulations in Chapter 5. <br /> <br />9. The material for the prepared parking surface must be at least 2 inches in depth. It is reiterated <br />that Code requires the surface to be applied under the entire vehicle or equipment and extend <br />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 />11. Screening requirements (for commercial vehicles) are proposed to be different for properties <br />within the MUSA vs. those outside the MUSA. In the non-MUSA area, vehicles and/or <br />equipment shall be screened to a degree of 50% at ground level view with landscaping or <br />other means from the public right-of-way and. adjacent properties. In the MUSA area, <br />vehicles and/or equipment shall continue to meet the 75% screening requirement that currently <br />exists in code. This is done primarily by fencing or mature landscaping already in place. <br />Tarps are not considered screening. <br /> <br />Points to Consider: <br /> <br />· Applicable to all types of vehicles and equipment rather than trying to categorize <br />· Number of vehicles allowed based on aggregate level oflot size <br />. Easier to manage and administer <br />· Staff does not recommend changing existing ordinance to allow one unlicensed and <br />inoperable vehicle to be stored outdoors <br />. More incentive to store vehicles indoors <br />. May require access to property to view vehicles not within line of sight of street <br />. Would create more accessory structures <br /> <br />.
