“If someone needs a tarp to protect their property from damage what business is it of the city? If they are just covering a pile of <br />trash that is another story.” <br />“If tidy and secure.” <br />“Neat, clean, in good repair. No visible holes (defeats the purpose of covering something anyway).” <br />“Temporary, not long term.” <br />“You people need to worry about more important things.” <br /> <br /> <br />Question 7 <br />When in the backyard, is a tarp considered an acceptable covering for items being stored outside? <br />o Yes 66.7% (80 responses) <br />o No 19.2% (23 responses) <br />o Case by case (please explain)14.2% (17 responses) <br /> <br />Comments: <br />“A cover, sure. A ratty, ineffective tarp shouldn’t be allowed.” <br />“A tarp is a temp solution for an issue. It doesn't solve the long term issue. I had a neighbor use a tarp and after a year it was <br />disintegrated and part of the trash problem.” <br />“If the presence of the tarp doesn't create a legitimate health or safety issue for others outside the property, then it's fine.” <br />“Lawn furniture during the winter, yes acceptable. General things being stored all year long, no not acceptable.” <br />“Temp storage only.” <br />“Not everyone can afford storage and so they need to take care of a limited number of items on their property.” <br />“Please leave boats and RVsalone, focus on people who have junk all over the yard, and don’t take care of the tall grass and <br />weeds.” <br />“Tarps used to cover trailers and boats are OK. Tarps used to cover old furniture, mattresses, junk or garbage is NOT ok.” <br />“The city should not interfere with a person’s personal property.” <br />
