/U <br />COUNCIL MEEW <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />Mayor Butler <br />Councilmembers <br />JAN 2 81285 <br />CITY OF OROMO <br />Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />January 22, 1985 <br />Interpretation of Section 10.60, Subdivision 13 - Exterior <br />Storage in "R" Districts <br />Subdivision 13. Exterior Storage in "R" Districts. In <br />all "R" Districts, all mobile and equipment shall be stored within a <br />building or fully screened so as not to be visible from adjoining <br />properties, except boats and unoccupied trailers less than 20 feet in <br />length, which are not stored for commercial purposes, if stored to the <br />rear of the house and a distance of 10 feet or more from any property <br />line. <br />A Planning Commission member has suggested that the underlined section <br />of the code allows the storage of boats over 20 feet in length if the <br />boat is fully screened and not visible from adjoining properties. If <br />Council concurs with this interpretation, the immediate necessity to <br />amend the code is remcved. If this is a correct interpretation of the <br />intent of the code, the ordinance would now more clearly reflect the <br />boat storage habits of our residents. <br />The code requi.,ss screening for all boats over 20 feet stored on a <br />residence lot. If a boat is less than 20 feet, than screening is not <br />required but special placement standards apply. A storage building <br />or boat over 20 feet in length must meet the setback standards for all <br />accessory structures. <br />
