He indicated that the RV is essential for time spent with this family. Mr. Martin urged the Council to look at unintended consequences. Michael Finch stated that this the proposed RV ordinance wouldn’t affect him but would impact at least 14 of his neighbors. He also questioned whether the City has considered pop-up trailers, where the measurements will be taken from, properties that don’t have long enough driveways and will not be able to comply, etc. Mr. Finch stated that many people will be affected by this proposal and many people cannot afford to store their RV’s or boats off site. He added that there are people who rent out their driveways for RV or boat storage.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – OCTOBER 23, 2018 -3- Richard Wilson stated that he is concerned about the proposed RV ordinance.
