Recreational vehicle must meet the definition in State Statute and the following city • requirements: • be road ready • have a current license • have an internal jacking system • have only quick disconnect utilities (water, sewer, and electrical) • not have alterations larger than the original equipment (with the exception of propane tanks, not to exceed 100 lb.) • not have any permanent additions. RECOMMENDATION Skirting and vestibules are allowed at the campground via previous council actions. However, the current owners have requested the city's help in cleaning up some of the oversized and/or dangerous additions that have been added to the recreational vehicles. What is allowed or not allowed needs to be better defined so that enforcement is consistent. Staff is recommending the following clarifications: • Because some of the guest at the campground are seasonal, staff is recommending that storage sheds with a 120 square feet of roof area or less be allowed. Building permits are not required for structures of 120 square feet or less, but they must be temporarily anchored and removed from the floodway prior to spring flooding. • That breezeways or screened porches, with a maximum of 120 square feet of roof area, be allowed, but that they are constructed to be portable (no footings so they can be removed prior to flooding), are not connected to the recreational vehicle, and have only quick disconnect utilities. • That no wood burning appliances are allowed in breezeways, porches or recreational vehicles. • That an emergency plan to remove all structures and recreational vehicles from the floodway upon six hours notice of a pending flood be submitted to staff for approval. • That all structures that do not conform to these rules or that are dangerous be removed. • That a minimum of ten feet is maintained between recreational vehicles and/or structures. • That no licensed or inoperable vehicles are allowed. The rest of the rules previously set by council action still pertain. The current owners of the park are in agreement with staff's recommendations and are prepared to send the attached notice to their customers. This notice requires compliance by the end of October and does contains some additional items beyond staff's recommendations that are requirements of the owners. Staff greatly appreciates their cooperation. The owners will be at Monday night's meeting to discuss these issues further with the Council. •
