AR-DEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION-MAY 189 2009 12 Community Development Director Lehnhoff indicated he would like to see this program in place before the students arrived this fall. He then asked for any comments or questions from the Council. Councilmember Grant questioned how a nanny or distant relative living within a single family home would fall into this Ordinance. Discussion ensued regarding the definition of renters versus member's cohabitating with or related to the homeowner. Community Development Director Lehnhoff explained the exemption to the rule was defined on the second page of the Ordinance. Mayor Harpstead questioned how the non-profit group homes would be handled - within the Ordinance. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated these homes would be exempt, as they are allowed under State law. Councilmember Holden stated she would be in favor of the registration process but questioned if it was necessary to record the names of the tenants. Councilmember Holmes indicated she felt this was necessary to track who was living in the home and to allow for only four renters per unit. She explained this would eliminate the eight to ten cars parking in driveways as well. Councilmember Holden suggested the names only be recorded if the property were to have a problem or complaint. She questioned if the number of bedrooms was necessary information on the application at this time and if it would be verified. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated this could be eliminated from the application as the City was not completing inspections at this time. He added that he would be comfortable requesting the tenant names after a complaint was received on a property. Councilmember Holmes suggested that inspections be completed on an as needed - basis. She explained that this would allow the City to complete an inspection if the City were to receive complaints.
