Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April 17, 2008 Page 12 of 15 Loo questioned why the owner of the vehicle must reside in the home where it is parked. Members of the Public: Joanne O’Neal, 722 Hawk Circle, Louisville, CO discussed the need for an updated ordinance but is not sure the proposed changes are strong enough. The ordinance needs to address the parking of recreational vehicles (RV) on the street, the length of the RV, and the unsightliness of trailers parked in the front yards. Ian Karpel, 928 Lafarge Ave, Louisville, CO distributed pictures to the Commission. Pritchard moved and Loo seconded a motion to enter the pictures into record. Motion passed by voice vote. Karpel continued with a discussion of the motor home that is parked in the neighbor backyard. He used the pictures to illustrate and explained the motor home is not owned by the person that lives there. The home is a rental and the motor home belongs to the landlord. Carole Hill, 233 Jackson Circle, Louisville, CO discussed the following: 5-day parking limit is too restrictive and any mediation should be done between neighbors and not involve the police department. Charles Hill, 233 Jackson Circle, Louisville, CO stated he bought the home because he could park his recreation vehicles on the lot. He discussed the following: gravel parking surface, the actual need for any of the rules and what he considers to be inconsistency in the presentation and the written documents. Gail Dunning, 745 W. Fir Ct., Louisville, CO stated the proposed ordinance deprives the citizen the use of their private property. She stated the owner occupied does not matter and the recommended dimensions don’t work on most lots, it’s more of a perception. Eva Kosinski, 1301 Jackson Ct., Louisville, CO stated that RV owners are not bad people and the regulations being proposed are not public safety issues which the City should be concerned about. Jim Gambino, 963 Eldorado, Louisville, CO stated the ordinance is overkill. He stated he has several legally registered vehicles on his property and with the proposed new regulations he will not be able to keep them on his lot and parked in and on the driveway. John Adams, 745 W. Fir Ct., Louisville, CO asked for clarification if one trailer with two jet skis would be considered one unit or two. Wood stated they would be considered one unit. Adams stated the five (5) night restriction is too limited. He stated he currently parks his recreational vehicle on his neighbor’s lot so he does not support the owner / occupied requirement. Loo asked why he parked his RV on the neighbor’s property. Adams stated they share the use of the RV but he is the sole owner of the RV.
