Recreational Vehicles for Human Habitation on City Lots Public Hearing: Chairman
Garren explained the public hearing process. He stated that the proposed ordinance limits human
habitation on residential lots within the City of Iona for a period of ten days in any calendar year.
He further explained that the remainder of the ordinance defined recreational vehicle. Chairman
Garren opened the hearing for public comment.
Nolan Getsinger of 5434 Steele Ave was concerned about relatives that may come for a funeral
or family event. Chairman Garren indicated that was still fine but there would be a ten day limit.
Jolyn Louk of 5428 Rockwood was concerned about snowbirds that might bring a motorhome
for two to three months. Chairman Garren indicated that they could apply for a conditional use
permit.
Chairman Garren closed the public portion of the hearing at 6:40 p.m. and opened discussion for
Planning & Zoning Members.
Member Lovinus recommended the period of time be extended to fourteen days and anything
over that would require a permit. She proposed buying a thirty day permit.
Member Hobbs wasn't sure why we needed so much paper work. He stated that it was just more
taxation.
Chairman Garren wondered where it would stop if thirty day permits were available. He stated
short term stays were fine, long term stays would require a conditional use permit. Chairman
Garren didn't forsee a problem and thought it could be addressed if and when there was a
problem.
Member Lovinus motioned to recommend to Council approval of the Recreation Vehicles for
Human Habitation on City Lots Ordinance. Member Hobbs seconded the motion with the period
of time extended to fourteen days. All in favor, motion carried.
Impact Area Agreement: Member Hobbs asked where we sat on the Impact Area Agreement.
Chairman Garren stated that it had been tabled for lack of progress and until we see a need.
Member Hobbs asked if we were taking into consideration what the gas company was doing.
Chairman Garren replied that the County stated we didn't have services out there. Member
Hobbs stated he would research.
Public Questions: Eric Bodily and Alice Olsen of 3180 Olsen asked about putting an apartment
in the basement for her grandson. Chairman Garren stated that they would need to see Clerk
Hammond during office hours and apply for a variance.
