RE: Parking, Fire and Building Code Ordinance Considerations
Gentlemen:
Per your request staff has and continues to review ordinances for
revising regulation and enforcement of parking, junk vehicles, use of
grills on patios and sprinkling requirements.
The first code revision is attached for your consideration and adoption.
This change deals with parking' on streets and simply extends the maximum
24 hour limit to year round rather than just the winter months. Chief
Staats feels this will improve the parking problem to a large extent..,
and we request your adoption of it
Staff is reviewing controlling the parking of trucks/trailers on streets
and zoning code changes to control junk cars and, parking of semi tractor
and trailers on private residential property.
Our fire marshall and building department will be recommending changes
on the use of grills and the sprinkling of residential, commercial and
industrial buildings.
By the first meeting in August, we will have these recommendations to
you.
