B. Mr. M.C. Godwin, 124 Twelfth Ave., requested to address the Board on the code regulating the parking of recreational vehicles. Mr. Godwin explained that he stores his RV on a commercial lot, but had it at his home for loading prior to leaving on a trip. The Code Enforcement Officer had advised him that the RV can only be located to the rear of the front structure line of the property regardless of the circumstances. The Town Clerk had suggested that Mr. Godwin bring his concern to the Board for a possible recommendation to the Town Council on amending the Ordinance.

Town Planner Ed Washburn suggested that the Town Manager be requested to develop a noticing procedure with the Code Enforcement Officer which might take such circumstances into consideration.

It was the consensus of the Board that this recommendation be presented to the Town Manager to determine if any latitude could be given short of amending the Ordinance.
