CONSENSUS VIEW Member Doering discussed the screening of boats and expressed concern over the fencing provisions discussed at the previous meeting.

She noted she had seen a larger number of potential violations in drives around the community. A general discussion ensued regarding the violation process and concerns over screening and paving. Chairman McKay asked for clarification regarding what a paved area consisted of. In general, the committee agreed that a paved surface was a impervious surface consisting of concrete or asphalt, but not crushed rock. in addition, the staff was to review brick pavers to determine if some definition could be written which would include architectural pavers designed for driveways and roads, but eliminate patio blocks and other such materials. A discussion ensued regarding the cost of a permit for inspection of paved surfaces. The staff will research the cost a driveway building permit and report back to the committee at its next meeting. Parking within 20 feet of a building for vehicles owned by the pro- perty owner was discussed in detail. The concept of parking adjacent to Urban Affairs Committee Meeting May 23, 1989 Page 2 the building was to reduce the owners impact of vehicles and trailers being parked on side or rear lot lines.
