Council was comfortable with all changes, with one modification regarding the storage of pontoon boats. The attached amendment reflects all of the changes discussed on May 18, 2020, and incorporates the requested change. The attached amendment also includes an amendment to Section 30-394 relating to the parking of vehicles and trailers on landscaped areas. During an earlier work session, Council directed staff to amend the ordinance and allow the parking of vehicles, RVs, trailers, and boats on the grass in the back yard of residential properties. The ordinance makes the change and clarifies that the area must be maintained (lawn and weeds mown). There is no set timeline for adoption of this amendment. If the City Council would like to make additional changes to the proposed amendment, the public hearing can be continued to a later date.
