Mr. Goodricb referred to recent discussions regarding violations to tbe home occupation ordinance, specifically a property located at 153rd and Eland, and stated that it is not a bome occupation because the sod business is not carried on witbin the home; it is not a nuisance violation because tbere is no real refuse and the vehicles and equipment are licensed. Mr. Goodrich stated that the only way the City can address situations like this is to amend the ordinance to limit the number and size of trucks that property owners can park on their property; tbat language is proposed in the zoning recodification now in process. Council was in favor of limiting size and number of trucks allowed to be parked in residential areas. Mr. Goodrich stated that recodification also introduces into the City the bearing examiner concept whereby ordinance violations would be presented to the hearing examiner for findings and ruling; if the property owner disagrees with the ruling, he or she can appeal to the courts. Tbe hearing examiner process is legally binding.
