These complaints tend to mostly consist of recreational vehicles, travel trailers, and camper trailers.
ISSUES CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE STORAGE
THESE VEHICLES/TRAILERS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO IMPACT CITY STREETS AS THE STORAGE OF THESE VEHICLES TENDS TO IMPAIR TRAFFIC FLOW, OBSTRUCT LINE OF SIGHT/VISIBILITY NEAR INTERSECTIONS, CROSS WALKS AND FOR DRIVERS BACKING THEIR VEHCLES OUT OF DRIVEWAYS ONTO PUBLIC STREETS.

WHAT THE CURRENT CODE LACKS
DOES NOT ELABORATE THE DISTANCE SAID VEHICLE/TRAILERS SHOULD BE MOVED. (OWNER’S CAN SIMPLY MOVE THEIR VEHICLE/TRAILER A COUPLE OF FEET TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT CODE PROVISIONS) DOES NOT REMEDY STORAGE ISSUE.
