AGENDA SECTION: Discussion. PREPARED BY: Charlie O'Brien AGENDA NO Code Enforcement Official Z A* ATTACHMENTS: Draft ordinances. APPROVED BY: Recent enforcement activity related to the storage of recreational vehicles has generated considerable public response. The ordinances relating to the storage and parking of recreational vehicles are long standing, with one recent change requiring a paved surface for all parking. Negative citizen response to the enforcement of these ordinances has been apparent at recent council meetings. Council directed the preparation of possible revisions to allow for seasonal storage. I have prepared and suggested changes to two ordinances in response to the council direction and input I have received from the public related to these ordinances. NOTES: For discussion only.
