MOTION: Moved by Commissioner Colleen S. Hufford to approve Ordinance 06-1194, Parking in Residential Districts with minor revision as submitted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Sandra T. Solomon. The Community Development Director responded to the Citizen's Comments as follows: · Personal lawn equipment would not be classified as industrial farm equipment and not subject to screening or code enforcement. · C (3) Vehicles defined as large vehicles due solely to having accessories or attachments that do not exceed the size requirements are still required to be parked in the garage or carport. This has to be spelled out in this section of the Code in order to allow for that activity.
