Storing the vehicle on a <br />driveway is in violation of the ordinance. She explained that the resident first received a letter <br />informing them they were in violation of an ordinance in July 1999 and were given a deadline of <br />on or before August 18t~' to correct the problem. The problem was not corrected and the time was <br />extended to September 13th. The resident then contacted the City requesting a year to correct the <br />situation and look into the idea of adding on to his existing garage to house the vehicle. City <br />Staff agreed to a six month extension with certain time frames that have to be met. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich noted that Council has the authority to change the amount of time he is <br />allowed to correct the situation. <br /> <br />Community Development Sherman stated that what the resident is doing is a violation, but <br />explained that it has been the direction in the past to try and work with the resident to correct a <br />situation. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen questioned if the garage addition is feasible for the property. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sherman explained that his plans are to modify the attached <br />garage working with the builder of his home. No plans have been received by the City as of yet, <br />but they have a deadline of October 15th to submit the plans. If they cannot come in with a plan <br />to comply with City code then they will be forced to remove the vehicle. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that it seems that the City is right on track, and suggested that <br />they should wait until October 15"' to determine if the project can be accomplished. <br /> <br />City Council/September 28, 1999 <br /> Page 19 of 26 <br /> <br /> <br />
