PARKING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY HEARINGS AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 157, AS AMENDED, PROVIDING FOR THE REGULATION OF PARKING OF CERTAIN VEHICLES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY Staff report and action of the Planning Commission presented by Mr. Supinger. Hearing opened at 7:39 Mr. Henry Badg~2[ o~ 14721 Brookline Way stated that the parking of undesirable vehicles on private property was brought to the attention of the Council one year ago hv the presentation of a petition of approximately 35 names. This petition was stimulated by an objectionable vehicle in their area. Mr. Badger said he feels this is a beautiful City and a lot has been done for it with the tree program and Sign Ordinance,' but if certain parking and storage is allowed, the other ordinances are of little or no value. He then requested that the Council put some teeth into this Ordinance and pass it. There being no objections or further comments, the hearing was declared closed at 7:41 P.M. Councilman Miller reported that he had been the Chairman of a Committee to study the problem and present an effective Ordinance. He had met with the Police Department, Mr. Supinger, Mr. Badger and one other citizen. The Police Department had suggested wording in line with the Traffic Ordinance and the City Attorney had suggested certain revisions and Mr. Gill had suggested this simple, less technical language. Councilman Miller said that good points.had been made at the hearing of the Planning Commission and that this is a simple Ordinance but hard to tell just what it excludes. Perhaps there is some value to limiting by weight and size. Mr. Rourke suggested that a change in wording from passenger vehicles to private passenger automobiles would meet some objections. Mr. Gill stated that he had met with representatives of the Ford Motor Company as to different classifica- tions and weights. The original thoughts for omitting weight and size were to make the Ordinance sxmple enough without getting into technicalities so that Police Officers would not get involved with these weight problems. Councilman Coco suggested that Section 512.11 as written be divided into two paragraphs with an additional paragraph covering amount of advertising matter allowed on vehicles. Councilman Miller said this had been discussed by the Committee, but the.degree of advertising could not be decided upon. Councilman Coco felt that perhaps the degree could be taken care of by the discretion of the public. Common sense, common courtesy would probably rule, and he did not expect complaints on advertising that is not offensive. Mr. Rourke recommended that the Council get an Ordinance no broader than that which will take care of the problem and one that can be enforced. It was then decided that the wording of this Ordinance regarding exceptions be amended to read "motorcycles and motor scooters, private passenger automobiles, or travel trailerslother than mobilehomes." Moved by Miller, seconded by Coco, that Ordinance No. 338 have first reading by title only. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gill suggested to the press that they convey that this ordinance does not restrict normal vehicles on private property. VI. OLD 1.
