<br />Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />May 8, 2008 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br />length requirement of not parking on the street should be dropped because many of the <br />crew-cab pickups are now 18+' long. <br /> <br />Commission Questions: <br />Sheets asked if the ordinance should limit the number of vehicles on a property. <br /> <br />Goodman replied that the RV Ordinance is being written at the request of City Council. <br />The number of vehicles on a lot was his suggestion, because some properties are filled <br />with cars, all registered, and the police department has received complaints. <br /> <br />Hartman asked if the City had a mediation program similar to the Fort Collins program. <br /> <br />Goodman stated the City did not have such a program. The framework for such a <br />program would need to be established. He expressed concerns with the cost and <br />staffing of such a program. <br /> <br />Sheets asked if the ordinance should regulate the number of all vehicles parked in front <br />of the residence as well as the street. <br /> <br />Goodman stated the ordinance is being driven by the RV section. <br /> <br />Wood stated the current code does not address how these are to be stored on private <br />property. The City Council has directed staff to move forward with a revised ordinance <br />that will address the parking on private property. <br /> <br />Tengler asked if the complaints were specific or general. <br /> <br />Goodman stated the complaints are varied with front, side and back parking while the <br />majority are about the number and the size of the vehicle. <br /> <br />Staff Summarv and Recommendation: <br />No additional comments. <br /> <br />Public Hearinq Closed Commission Comments: <br />Sheets stated she is conflicted with moving forward because the details still appear to <br />be arbitrary. <br /> <br />Hartman expressed concern with a vehicle the length of a bus being parked on a <br />residential street. She stated the ordinance definitely needs to address the length. <br /> <br />Lipton stated he is in general support of the ordinance but is also okay with a <br />continuance. The parking of a very large vehicle, similar to a bus, in the back yard still <br />needs to be addressed. <br /> <br />Tengler stated his agreement with Sheets and Hartman. A size limitation is needed in <br />the ordinance. Could the ordinance be approved for one year and then re-visit again the <br />next year. <br /> <br />Lipton questioned if other municipalities regulate the parking of RV's on private <br />property. <br /> <br />Loa proposed a size length limit of 30'. <br /> <br />Lipton questioned if a 30' limit was adequate. <br /> <br />Sheets stated a 32' length would allow most Class C models <br /> <br />Tengler stated his support for a 32' length. <br />
