Motion cattied 5-0. Mike Arp, 147 E. Carlisle Street, appeared before the council to ask what could be done about the parking ordinance #5, 2003. He owns two trucks that are Dueleys and he cannot pazk them on any street in the Tawn of Mooresville because the parking ordinance states that no vehicles over 82 inches wide could park on the street and ono vans over 7 feet tall. Mr. Arp said that means he could not park on the street and eat at Zydecos. He feels like Dueleys and Hi-Top Vans are being discriminated against. Mr. Arp said his Dueleys measured 95.5 inches if it is parked tight to the curb, this is allowing for the 12 inch from the curb variance. Attorney Currens said you couldn't assume everyone is going to park close to the curb. This ordinance was based on health and safety issues and you have to draw a line at same point. Discrimination was not an issue. Mr. Arp said when this ordinance was started the specifics was to keep dump trucks, trailers, and semi tractors off the street. Mr. Currens said that wasn't entirely correct, they were looking at width of vehicles, and the impact it would have on pazking, and the ability for traffic flow in emergency situations. Councilman Bryant said these were things he wanted in an ordinance. It came down to the best way to address restrictions was to ga with dimensions. I did not even realize we had set up an ordinance that was going to exclude Dueleys. Councilman Worthen and I discussed this and it came back to a width we were going to stay with in the ordinance. You can really select certain streets you will allow bigger vehicles and street that are restricted you are going to have signs all over Town. 1 ~1 1
