presented. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.
,PUBLIC HEARING• AMENDMENT THE ZONING CODE RECREATION EQUIP-
MENT DEFINITION & MODIFY EXTERIOR STORAGE PRO-
VISIONS (SECTION 23.702)
The Building Official explained that the definition for
Recreation Equipment only allows, "...unoccupied boats, and
trailers not exceeding twenty feet in length..." which she and
the Planning Commission feel is too restrictive. Also under
Section 23.702, "Boats and unoccupied trailers are permissible if
stored in the rear yard more than ten (10) feet from the property
line," is also felt to be too restrictive considering a number of
lots in Mound front on three streets, are lakeshore or have other
unusual terrain. This amendment would allow storage in front
yards excluding the front yard setback area.
The Mayor opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone
present who wished to address the Council regarding this
ordinance amendment. No one responded. The Mayor closed the
public hearing.
Councilmember Smith stated he would like to see driveways
included as a permissible area for storage of recreation
equipment even if the area of storage is within the front yard
120
August 12, 1986
setback.
The City Attorney pointed out that this amendment would make this
section much less restrictive than the current ordinance.
There was discussion on the high cost of applying for a
Conditional Use Permit for exterior storage. Mayor Polston and
Councilmember Jessen stated they would like to see a lesser fee
in this case but that they did not like the idea of people
storing items at the end of their driveway which could cause a
safety hazard within the front yard setback.
Mayor Polston stated that he would like to see language in ~2
which now reads "Stored equipment shall be regisered to the owner
or renter of the property", to include leased equipment. The
City Attorney suggested adding, "or shall be leased or rented to
the owner or renter of the property". The Council agreed.
Polston moved and Jessen seconded the following:
