<br />Meagan - <br /> <br />Thank you for taking the time to talk to me about the proposed regnlation. I think it is good that <br />you are attempting to define what is an RV. I like the definition you are using with the exception <br />of boat lifts. Boatlifts are not an RV and should not be included. I would also add to the <br />definition at the end the third sentence the words "other types of trailers or other similar vehicles" <br />so it is clear all types of trailers are included in the definition including boat trailers. Are you <br />going to require all trailers to be registered as well as true motorized recreational vehicles? <br /> <br />First, I do not believe that true Recreational Travel Vehicles should be stored on any residential <br />city lot under 1/2 acre in size. In my opinion, they are unsightly and detract from the appearance <br />of neighborhoods. The requirement that boat lifts be stored more than 10 feet from the high <br />water mark does not make any sense to me especially in those areas where there are terrain <br />issues. What does the 10 feet setback do for the city? What are those residents on the west side <br />of Lake Johanna Blvd going to store their water front equipment? Hauling the lifts up another 10 <br />feet just damages what vegetation and landscaping you have on your lake side. I personally think <br />you should require all boat lifts stored to have their canvas or cloth covered material removed so <br />they do not block the neighbors view. <br /> <br />If you are going to permit the storage of an RV vehicles, it should be limited to a maximum of one <br />such true RV motorized vehicle or travel trailer and possibly one other vehicle. If someone can <br />afford multiple RVs they can obviously afford storage for these vehicles so neighbors do not have <br />to look at them. I have seen some homes with several boats, trailers, camper tops for pickup <br />trucks and a recreational vehicle all situated in the back yard of the property. On lake side <br />properties, I would not permit any non watercraft RVs on the lake side except for boat lifts and <br />water accessories (Le. docks and rafts). <br /> <br />Thank you for your considerations. <br /> <br />Stephen L.
