Mr. Kelly stated that Section 18 -35 of the Village Code of Ordinances restricts the parking of travel and camping trailers, boats on trailers, motor homes, and personal use trailers, including motorcycle and all- terrain vehicle trailers. Mr. Kelly reported that the length and height restrictions were adopted in 1972, and noted that Section 18 -35 allows the parking of two pieces of equipment totaling 60 feet in length, but prohibits the parking of a single piece of equipment totaling 35 feet in length. Mr. Kelly requested that Council temporarily suspend enforcement of Section 18 -35 for a six -month period to allow staff to evaluate the code and recommend revisions, if any, to the current restrictions. Mr. Kelly explained that during this period, no code compliance action would be initiated for violations of Section 18 -35, and the Village would not seek imposition of liens for prior violations. Mr. Rubin explained that if the code remains the same when the six -month suspension period expires, the Village could impose the lien at that time. Mr. Rubin clarified that any fines imposed for prior violations would continue to accrue during this period. Discussion ensued on limiting temporary suspension of enforcement to Section 18- 35(6), which specifies maximum length and height. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Norris to amend the resolution by limiting suspension to Section 18- 35(6). The motion was seconded by President Pro Tem Bush and passed unanimously. Thereafter, the motion to adopt Resolution 2015 -50, as amended, passed unanimously.
