He <br />indicated that parking with a permit does not permit living in the RV. <br /> <br />Discussion continued regarding allowing someone to live in an RV for a short period of <br />time with a permit. <br /> <br />Chair Sand stated he felt it could be handled through enforcement but thinks that to <br />prohibit it completely would not be right. <br /> <br />Ms. Beekman stated that the current code prohibits RVs to be hooked up to sewer in <br />order to discourage anybody from living in RVs for any period of time. <br /> <br />The consensus was that this was true. <br /> <br />Ms. Beekman stated the ordinance could read, "No RV shall be used for temporary or <br />permanent living, sleeping or housekeeping purposes in the City. They shall not be <br />connected to sewer, water, or other utility for any period of time unless otherwise <br />provided for in Subdivision 3" <br /> <br />Mr. Lehnhoff indicated he and Ms. Beekman would work on the language and asked if <br />the consensus is for very short-term parking, so if someone comes for the weekend they <br />would be able to stay in an RV. <br /> <br />Chair Sand felt they needed to add language that would allow for hook-up to electrical <br />and water with a permit for up to 7 days. <br /> <br />Mr. Lehnhoff indicated the code right now is you can park an R V of any length or height <br />without a permit for 72 hours in your driveway for the purpose ofloading and unloading, <br />but that it cannot be hooked up to any utility. <br /> <br />Discussion continued on whether the RV should be owned by the property owner only, or <br />by someone else too. <br /> <br />Mr. Scherbel indicated the City does not regulate who owns the vehicles but the number <br />of vehicles in the driveway. <br /> <br />Mr. Lehnhoff stated there would have do be a separate public hearing for that. <br />
