City Council Minutes Page 5 <br /> November 2,2019 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> added a concrete surface and move the boat to it. He asked how Council feels about <br /> other items such as trailers, campers,and seasonal cars. <br /> Councilmember Ovall stated this may be a good discussion for the ERA community <br /> survey process. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard concurred with Mayor Dietz stating the ordinance should <br /> be revised, but language still needs to give rights to property owners while being <br /> cognizant of the neighborhood. <br /> Council concurred in directing staff to review alternative options and survey <br /> residents. They further suggested researching other communities. <br /> There was discussion on whether the boat was considered operable because it wasn't <br /> located on a trailer and how other motorized vehicles such as snowmobiles would fit <br /> in the parameters. <br /> Tarts <br /> Mr. Carlton reviewed differing types of tarps and questioned which are appropriate. <br /> Councilmember Wagner suggested it may not be easy to find manufactured fitted <br /> covers for some items. She asked if having a tarp is better than nothing noting <br /> people may not want to see the items under the tarp. She suggested some allowance <br /> for property owner but having a minimum or maximum square footage that can be <br /> covered with a tarp. She suggested if stored in the front yard it is required to have a <br /> manufactured cover,if in back,then tarped and tied down on an approved surface. <br /> She noted this could also irritate neighbors who see the back yard. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard stated back yards are not typically visible to the general <br /> public and suggested limiting the amount of front yard storage. <br /> Council concurred in directing staff to review the issues further and stated the key is <br /> visibility from the public right-of-way. <br /> TWoraru tent structures <br /> Mr. Carlton stated the city can't require building permits for structures smaller than <br /> 200 square feet. He stated temporary structures less than 120 square feet are allowed <br /> by city code. He discussed snow and wind loads for some structures and building <br /> permit requirements. He asked if a structure should be cited if it falls apart. <br /> Council concurred a temporary tent structure falling into disrepair should not be <br /> allowed. <br /> UREJ <br />
