<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />October 13, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />Council Business, continued <br /> <br />Mr, Van Hatten said the area in question was not exempt, but specifically <br />designated as a parking area. Mattila said there was a moratorium on the <br />boulevard parking ordinance until a motion was passed which allowed <br />parking of vehicles in this area. Mattila said the parking of this vehicle is <br />becoming more of an ongoing storage situation. <br /> <br />Mr. Van Hatten objects to the term "storage" which implies that the vehicle <br />is unoperational. He drives the vehicle occasionally and that is the very <br />nature of a recreational vehicle. Williams asked if there was some period of <br />time which the vehicle was unoperational. Mr. Van Hatten said several <br />years ago the vehicle was damaged and it took some time to be repaired, <br />but it is now operational. <br /> <br />Motion by Rebelein, seconded by Williams. to PROHIBIT PARKING ON THE <br />EAST BOULEVARD OF 1 ST AVENUE NW BETWEEN 6TH AND 7TH <br />STREETS NW EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS FOLLOWING CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br />BASED ON THE FOLLOWING DEVELOPMENTS WHICH HAVE REDUCED <br />THE NEED FOR BOULEVARD PARKING ON 1ST AVENUE NW: <br />1, IN 1988.
