Louisville City Council Meeting September 17, 2002 Page 5 Davidson stated that Ordinance 1397 is only intended to correct an omission in the ordinance addressing oversized vehicles. Brown suggested tabling the ordinance in order to allow Staff time to review the issues. Wood voiced his opinion that the Planning Commission had difficulty in regulating residential private property. He also noted the issue of enforceability of the ordinance. There was further Council discussion relative to the Planning Commission's concerns and the enforcement of the ordinance. Sisk stated given Planning Director Wood's comments, he could support the ordinance. Mayer suggested an amendment of a minimum 4-foot fence, and that a trailer and its contents be under 16-foot. Van Pelt stated that the intent is to keep trailers off City streets. She voiced her agreement to an ordinance amendment that would reduce the length of trailers. Davidson called for public comment. Frosty Woolridge, 1458 Ford Place, Louisville, CO, concurred that all trailers should be off City streets and thanked Council for addressing the problem. Mayer asked that the ordinance provide that trailers may be parked on City streets for a limited time for unloading purposes. Davidson closed the public hearing.
