Ms.

Ms. Huff,
I would greatly appreciate you forwarding my email to
the Mayor and City Council members prior to tomorrow's
meeting.
Mr. Mayor & City Council Members:
Last week 1 contacted the City Manager's office
regarding ordinances related to temporary storage
units on residential property.
Prior to that, I had spoken to someone in code
enforcement and was told there was no ordinance that
addressed such units. The gentleman explained that
these are used in cases where someone might be having
some work done on a house and needs to temporarily
move their furniture out. I guess for re -flooring or
the like.
Ms. Hibbs responded on behalf of the City Manager and
advised that there's a proposed amendment up for
review/vote on Tue, Mar 19. She was kind enough to
forward a pdf file of the meeting agenda and the
"draft" ordinance.
I've read through it and it appears to be reasonable
and would address a situation we're having on our own
street. The only thing I might change would be to
allow only "1" instance in a 30 day period as opposed
to the way it's currently written with "2"
non -concurrent instances in a 30 day period. Maybe
that's too restrictive but that's what I'd prefer.
Currently, the unit that's appeared on our street has
been there for over a week.
I've taken a picture of the unit that's catty -corner
to our house so you can see an example of why such an
ordinance is needed. It's called a PODS -Portable On
Demand Storage unit.
I will be unable to attend the meeting Tuesday night
as I'm the mother of 9 -month old twin boys and have a
4 -year old son so it's hard to get away in the
evenings. I hope this email will be of value in your
discussion of the matter.
Thank you very much.
