Attorney Polackwich, assisted by Community Development Director Bob Keating, <br />provided background on the Code Enforcement Board's action relative to this case. <br />Planning Director Stan Boling, through a PowerPoint Presentation (copy on file), showed <br />slides of Mr Heen's truck and reviewed the Land Development Regulations (LDRs), Chapter <br />911, which pertains to vehicle height restrictions for trucks and vans. He explained that in 2008, <br />the 9' height restriction with respect to vans/box trucks was seen as a reasonable limit in <br />residential zoning districts. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan requested that staff see whether the newer vans and trucks are <br />being built over 9' high, so a determination can be made as to whether to amend the LDRs <br />accordingly. <br />Director Boling confirmed that: (1) staff would resurvey the vehicle heights and report <br />back to the Board; and (2) the Code Enforcement Order would be in abeyance until further <br />analysis is done. <br />Commissioner Solari advocated keeping this matter highly visible to the public, and <br />Chairman Flescher affirmed that there would be public hearings should staff propose an LDR <br />amendment. <br />The Board CONSENSUS was to direct staff to re-evaluate <br />the vehicle height restrictions in residential neighborhoods <br />keeping in mind the standard heights of new vans and box <br />trucks, and report back to the Board. <br />February 5, 2013 16 <br />SR 143 PG 4531, <br />
