<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />City Council Minutes <br />March 19. 1984 <br />Page Six <br /> <br />for an unrestricted length of time and in the other months. the stay be limited to <br />a two week maximum. <br /> <br />Mr. Marty Tracy. Planning Commission Chairman. indicated that the Planning Com- <br />mission did discuss the conditions regarding length of stay. and further indicated <br />that the City staff's proposal would be acceptable to the Planning Commission. as <br />their intent was to not allow full-time residents. <br /> <br />Discussion was carried on regarding the length of time for the limited stay. <br />Councilmember Duitsman indicated that he felt he could approve a limited stay <br />of 3 or 4 weeks during the off-season. CouncilmemberSchuldt indicated that if <br />the City Council would approve a limited stay of 3 to 4 weeks, a resident could <br />potentially live there from April 1st to November 1st. <br /> <br />Mr. Roger White indicated that they have many requests for construction workers <br />that may be working in the area to stay for extended periods of time. whether it be <br />the summer season or the off season. Mr. White indicated that if they were not <br />allowed to stay at his campground, it would cut his business and he would not be <br />able to continue. <br /> <br />Mr. Rick Breezee, Building and Zoning Administrator, indicated that the type of <br />camping facilities these people stay in are not built to code for home residence, <br />and further indicated that if the City would allow year-round full time residents, <br />the City would have some responsibility regarding safety requirements. Mr. Rick <br />Breezee indicated that there are minimum building code requirements that the State <br />requires, which the campers and recreational vehicles do not meet. <br /> <br />Further discussion was carried on reg~rding the type of campers and the HUD <br />standards required for permanent housing with regard to the construction, plumbing <br />and heating of the campers and recreational vehicles. <br /> <br />Marty Tracy indicated that allowing full-time residency was not within the spirit <br />of the ordinance. Mr. Tracy indicated that a campground recreational facility WaS <br />allowed as a conditional use in the ordinance and further indicated that full-time <br />residency would not be the intent. <br /> <br />Mayor Hinkle suggested that the language of the conditional use permit read "no <br />temporary or long-term housing" allowed. Discussion was carried on regarding various <br />language that could be used to specify the intent of the ordinance and the City <br />Council. Further discussion was carried on regarding year-round camping facilities. <br /> <br />Mr. Rick Breezee, Building and Zoning Administrator, again expressed his concern <br />that the facilities do not meet minimum standards and if the City Council would <br />allow full-time residents in the campground, he would have a very difficult time <br />enforcing the City ordinances, as anyone could place a camper/trailer on five <br />acres of property and live there. <br /> <br />The City Administrator indicated that the Planning Commission did not address the <br />keeping of horses at the campground facility. The City Administrator further <br />indicated that the City staff is suggesting that the City Council make a specific <br />requirement that the horses housed at the Wapiti Park be kept in such a manner <br />that they do not provide a nuisance to any neighboring property, as would be <br />defined in the City's nuisance ordinance. <br />
