Chair Sand inquired about the direction staff is seeking regarding the impervious surfaces for parking. Ms. Beekman stated that currently residents can park the RVs on the side of their home on the grass, but many of the complaints heard by code enforcement are that the RVs on grass doesn't look nice. She stated the proposed ordinance was written so that RVs would need to be screened or be parked on an impervious surface. Chair Sand stated he is concerned about allowing three additional vehicles to be parked on lakeshore properties. Ms. Beekman stated that is the language in the current code and it was a point of discussion among staff. Commissioner Modesette inquired about temporary parking and storing RVs in the front yard. Ms. Beekman stated that temporary parking would allow the RV to be parked for 72 hours in the front yard to allow for loading, unloading, and cleaning purposes. She stated the ordinance would not allow people to live in the R V s and guests could be granted a permit for parking for a period up to seven days. Mr. Lehnhoff stated the temporary parking and storage language is the same as the current code. Commissioner Modesette inquired about the setbacks for temporary parking. Ms. Beekman stated that it is fifteen from the curb. Commissioner Modesette stated she likes the language stating that R V s need to be parked closer to the property owner's principal structure than to a neighboring principal structure. She inquired if the current CUP that was granted would be affected if the proposed text would be adopted. Mr. Lehnhoff stated a change in the ordinance wouldn't impact the current CUP.
