Raymond Rode, Jr., of 1716 N. North avenue brought to the Council's attention the fact that there are several unlicensed semi-trailers that are feeing parked permanently in the/city. He claimed the trailers were "eyesores" and were becoming "permanent fixtures". Rode pointed out that some business places are using the vehicles for storage because they do not need a permit to put them on their premises, there are no zoning requirements against them and they are not subject to fire inspection. He mentioned that several years ago, there were several • semi-trailers parked on Mc Cullom Lake road loaded with fireworks that exploded. He felt there was a possibility that )me materials could be stored "in these trailers parked in the city which could constitute a fire hazard. It was also Rode's opinion that the city was losing tax revenue because if trailers were not allowed./ storage buildings would have to be constructed which could produce revenue tor the city in terms of permitsjand property taxes. Rode stressed that he was not referring to construction trailers used by contractors which are moved to various job sites. He specifically meant unlicensed trailers which had been parked for several years, mostly on business premises. Supt. Fred Meyer pointed out that according to the city zoning ordinance, open storage is allowed where it is not within 60 feet of a residential area. Mayor Stanek instructed the Zoning committee to study the situation and come back within a month with some kind of recommendation.
