Smith Center Council adopts ordinance regulating residential storage containers
Summary
The Smith Center City Council adopted an ordinance on residential storage/shipping containers and asked the city clerk to send an additional notice about an existing residential container.
Mayor Bryce Wiehl and the Smith Center City Council adopted an ordinance updating rules for storage and shipping containers in residential areas at their May 11 meeting.
Tabitha Owen presented an updated ordinance drafted for the council. Council member Don Wick moved to adopt the ordinance as written; Council member Ty Wallgren seconded the motion, which the council carried. The council also asked City Clerk Brittany Niles to send an additional letter regarding a currently sited residential storage container to ensure compliance with the new rule.
The ordinance language was presented by Owen at the meeting; the minutes do not list the ordinance number or the detailed text of prohibitions or exceptions. Council members did not request additional changes before the adoption. The council’s action implements the updated ordinance immediately as written and begins the administrative step of notifying the property owner about the existing container.
