He indicated he <br />would not want to look at something this large outside of his windows. He believed the <br />measurement of 34- feet was ambiguous, but it had to be the guiding force for him. <br /> <br />Chair Sand stated he agreed with the previous comments. He believed the applicant <br />acted in good faith. He also believed the building official had acted in good faith, but <br />there was a disagreement about how the RV had been measured. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson stated if the RV was moved closer to the main structure, it would <br />minimize visual impact to the neighborhood. He asked if this could make it qualifY for a <br />CUP. Mr. Lehnhoff responded that ifthe length is greater than 34 feet, the RV could not <br />qualifY for an RV. However, bringing an RV closer to a structure could be a condition <br />for an RV that does not exceed the 34 length limit. <br /> <br />Chair Sand stated he did not disagree with that, but he also agreed with Commissioner <br />Zimmerman's comment that the buildable area needed to be defined. He stated what <br />concerned him most was the fact that up to three RV's could be stored on the lot and this <br />disturbed him more than a 34-foot RV being stored, Mr. Lehnhoff noted only one <br />vehicle could be an RV. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson moved, seconded by Commissioner Zimmerman to recommend <br />denial of Planning Case No. 07-006, for a Conditional Use Permit at 3641 N Pascal Ave <br />based on the findings the trailer exceeds the 34 feet in length. <br /> <br />Mr. Lehnhoff requested clarification of the motion because the Zoning Code <br />interpretation on how to measure RV length needed to be dealt with first. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson withdrew his motion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson moved, seconded Commissioner Zimmerman, to recommend for <br />purposes of the Zoning Code, the overall length ofthe recreational vehicle should be used <br />to determine the length. <br /> <br />The motion carried unanimously (7-0). <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson moved, seconded by Zimmerman to recommend denial of <br />Planning Case 07-006 for a Conditional Use Permit at 2641 N Pascal Avenue based on a <br />finding that the R V is greater than 34 feet in length, <br /> <br />The motion carried unanimously (7-0). <br />
