Commission tables RV ordinance changes after debate over fees and setbacks
Summary
The Planning Commission reviewed changes to the RV ordinance, noted the honor‑system $40 fee was ineffective, discussed water/sewer connection and setback clarification, and tabled the item for further research including legality of placing a trailer charge on utility bills.
Commissioners discussed proposed revisions to the RV ordinance that will be part of upcoming ordinance codification. Members noted that a previously adopted honor‑system $40 fee "did not work" and is difficult to enforce, and they discussed reverting to the prior ordinance with targeted clarifications on water and sewer connection requirements and setback language.
Commissioner Jerry Lynch expressed concern that more research is needed before imposing new limits on trailers and specifically raised a legal question about whether a trailer charge can be placed on a utility bill. The commission did not make a recommendation to the Council at this meeting and tabled the RV ordinance changes for a later date to allow staff or commissioners to gather additional information.
The minutes record no motions to adopt changes and no vote to forward recommendations on this item; follow‑up assignments and timelines were not recorded.
