Lawrence Wade - he said his motor home stuck out about 11 feet from his house. Bee Garmon arrived at 6:08 p.m. Steve Holmes, 530 N.E. 33`d - he said that safety should be the number one concern and they needed to pass an ordinance that the officers could enforce. Mike Hammer, 925 Bunker - he said there was so much junk in some of the neighborhoods and that it was sad that the City had gone down. Chairman Wilson stated that cleaning up the city was a big task and the Committee had been working on it for nine months. Mary Post, 1504 E. Washington - she said she does not think that the side yard would work for her due to the size of the yard and her recreational vehicle. She also said she understood the need for an ordinance because of accumulated junk and safety issues. Don Holiday - he said some people did not have enough room for ten feet between a house and a recreational vehicle. Glenn Smallwood, 2855 Simpson - he said he was a private contractor and had eight pick -ups and a gooseneck trailer at his house. He also said they were taking away rights and he opposed the ordinance. Pete Sisson, 3930 Oleander - he asked if the ordinance was complete. Chairman Wilson said it was sent to Council and returned to the Committee for changes, because there had been complaints about the ordinance. With no one else speaking, Chairman Wilson moved to the final draft of the ordinance. John House suggested they delete item 2 on page 1. A Motion to delete item 2 was made by Council Member Biard and seconded by Council Member Brown. Motion carried unanimously. Chairman Wilson moved to item 3. Chief Louis expressed concern about not having a limitation on the number of days a recreational vehicle could be used for housekeeping, living, sleeping quarters, or for the storage personal property. Lisa Wright said it would be difficult for code enforcement to enforce that type of provision. Following a brief discussion, it was a consensus of the Committee to restrict a recreational vehicle for no more than seven days for housekeeping, living, sleeping quarters, or for the storage personal property. Next, the Committee discussed item 9. There was discussion about registering recreational vehicles for grandfathering purposes, limiting parking to the side and rear yards, the distance allowed between the curb and a parked recreational vehicle, and a variance procedure. Staff was instructed to prepare a draft addressing these issues and bring it back to the Committee. Page 3 of 4
