BOOK 97 PAGE316 <br />2 which will require some discussion and instruction to staff: (1) <br />Item 18, Restrictions on keeping commercial vehicles in residential <br />areas and Item 19, Single-family ordinance restatement of <br />restrictions on keeping commercial vehicles in residential areas , <br />as well as (2) Item 21, Mining regulations for mining operation and <br />site restoration timeframes and Item 22, Extending timeframes for <br />certain incidental to construction mining operations. <br />Ordinance 2 - Item 18: Restrictions on Keeping <br />Commercial Vehicles in Residential Areas and <br />Item 19: Single-family Ordinance Restatement <br />of Restrictions on Keeping Commercial Vehicles <br />in Residential Areas <br />Code Enforcement Chief Roland DeBlois reminded the Board that <br />Mr. Manuel Silva had come before the Board in October, 1995, <br />requesting that the ordinance be amended to allow parking of a 1 <br />ton box van -in a residential area. Staff has since reviewed this <br />matter with the Professional Services Advisory Committee and the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission. In summary, staff concluded that <br />changes are warranted and both committees agreed although it will <br />be a challenge to decide what changes should be made. Safety and <br />aesthetics are the primary concerns. One of the problems is that <br />some recreational vehicles are larger than some commercial vehicles <br />but the frequency of use is less. Further, we found that a weight <br />limit does not address the aesthetics issue. Staff investigated <br />the requirements of various counties and found the alternatives to <br />be: (a) ton rate, (b) weight, (c) design/ category, and (d) a - <br />combination of design/category and weight. Staff is recommending <br />alternative (d) a combination of design/category and weight. <br />Chairman Adams questioned what is meant by "enclosed walls" <br />and Mr. DeBlois explained that it essentially means "out of sight". <br />Commissioner Eggert questioned the height of the enclosing <br />walls, and Mr. DeBlois advised that issue has not been addressed. <br />Chairman Adams then wanted to know how the weight of a truck <br />can be ascertained, and Mr. DeBlois thought that information could <br />be obtained from the vehicle's registration. <br />Mr. DeBlois further explained that a truck up to a gross <br />vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds, if enclosed, would be allowed <br />under the recommendation, with recreational vehicles being <br />exempted. <br />18 <br />FEBRUARY 13, 1996 <br />
