RESOLUTION 2015 -50 — TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF ENFORCEMENT — BOAT AND
RV PARKING
1 A motion was made by President Pro Tern Bush and seconded by Vice Mayor Norris to adopt
Resolution 2015 -50 entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH,
FLORIDA, TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING ENFORCEMENT OF SECTION 18 -35 OF THE
VILLAGE CODE OF ORDINANCES GOVERNING THE PARKING OF RECREATIONAL,
BOATING AND CAMPING EQUIPMENT ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES; PROVIDING
FOR DURATION; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Kelly stated that Section 18 -35 of the Village Code of Ordinances restricts the parking of
travel and camping trailers, boats on trailers, motor homes, and personal use trailers, including
motorcycle and all- terrain vehicle trailers. Mr. Kelly reported that the length and height restrictions
were adopted in 1972, and noted that Section 18 -35 allows the parking of two pieces of equipment
totaling 60 feet in length, but prohibits the parking of a single piece of equipment totaling 35 feet
in length. Mr. Kelly requested that Council temporarily suspend enforcement of Section 18 -35 for a
six -month period to allow staff to evaluate the code and recommend revisions, if any, to the current
restrictions. Mr. Kelly explained that during this period, no code compliance action would be
initiated for violations of Section 18 -35, and the Village would not seek imposition of liens for
prior violations. Mr. Rubin explained that if the code remains the same when the six -month
suspension period expires, the Village could impose the lien at that time. Mr. Rubin clarified
that any fines imposed for prior violations would continue to accrue during this period.
Discussion ensued on limiting temporary suspension of enforcement to Section 18- 35(6), which
specifies maximum length and height. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Norris to amend the
resolution by limiting suspension to Section 18- 35(6). The motion was seconded by President
Pro Tem Bush and passed unanimously.
Thereafter, the motion to adopt Resolution 2015 -50, as amended, passed unanimously.
