Many residents own recreational vehicles and park them at their residences when not in use. It could be a utility trailer, camper, motor home, boat trailer, snowmobile trailer etc. How many recreational vehicles do you think are ok to store on a property, and where is the best place to park them?

Currently, our city ordinance states, "Up to three (3) recreational vehicles may be parked as long as they have a current license and are operable." During seasonal use, you can have up to two (2) RVs parked entirely on a driveway. The ordinance also states they must be parked in the rear or side yard as long as they are five(5) feet back from your property line.

But before any changes are made, we want to hear your opinions and ideas on how many recreational vehicles you think should be allowed and where on your property would be the best place to park these vehicles.
