Session 1806 <br />March 19, 2001 <br /> <br />Responding to Mr. Ollendorff, Mr. Grimaldi said that the pickup is slightly wider and will <br />not fit in the garage. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner said that this issue has been around a very long time and Mr. Grimaldi's <br />complaints are quite reasonable. The Council has tried to deal with this several times in <br />the past. Some marginal changes were made, but the major problem is that the State <br />law will not discriminate between types of trucks on the license plates. If they would <br />issue personal vehicle license plates to certain small trucks, our problems would be <br />over. Mr. Wagner believes it is time for another Council subcomittee on this issue to <br />restudy this problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe said that he has people come to him about this issue, as well. He asked <br />Mr. Ollendorff if there were stickers that people could purchase to put on their trucks. <br />Mr. Ollendorff stated that the City Council approved issuing stickers to residents to put <br />on their trucks in hardship cases. The City will sell a permit each year to the resident in <br />a hardship case. <br /> <br />Ms. Colquitt agrees that this should definitely be restudied. She also has had citizens <br />call about their trucks and this ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer asked that those members of Council, interested in changing the law <br />constitute themselves as a subcommittee. Mr. Wagner and Ms. Colquitt volunteered. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams stated that the last time they attempted to change this law an <br />overwhelming majority of citizens showed up at the meeting in opposition to Council <br />changing the law. There is a definite concerted group of citizens that do not want to <br />see any change to the truck ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman said that this has been on the books at least fifty years that he is aware <br />of and it is there, because the citizens of this community do not want trucks parked on <br />their residential streets. They felt that they were unsightly, and commercial markings <br />were often on them. They want their residential neighborhoods to stay looking nice. <br />The police determines if it is truck by the license plate. <br /> <br />CITY CLERK'S DOCKET: <br /> <br />BILLS FOR SECOND AND THIRD READING: <br /> <br />BILL NO. 8511 - AMENDING CHAPTER 34 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF <br />UNIVERSITY CITY, RELATING TO ZONING DISTRICTS ESTABLISHED <br />PURSUANT TO SECTION 34-22 AND ENACTING A NEW ZONING MAP, SO <br />AS TO CHANGE THE CLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY AT 7023 FORSYTH <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br /> <br />
