be Mayport Road if it could be made a safe route.

hired as Community Development Director.

community level before any route selections were made.

the end. He indicated that many items needed to be addressed to
"'"' determine the cost and feasibility of developing all or part of the bike path

City Manager Hanson reported that the city had no ordinance to regulate
~ ' the use of PODS and it had been recommended by the Community
Development Director to include them as temporary accessory structures.
Commissioner Beaver felt PODS should be regulated similar to dumpsters
during construction.
Community Development Director Doerr explained the existing ordinance
relative to dumpsters and the proposed ordinance for PODS. She
indicated that they would not be allowed to remain long-term on
residential properties for storage. Commissioner Beaver felt the POD
should be allowed to remain longer than four days for construction
°~ projects.
The Commission felt that including a POD in the definition of accessory
structltre would allow placement of the POD in the rear yard.
w.
Discussion ensued concerning the length of time a POD may remain on
~,
5 the property. By consensus, it was requested that the amount of time be
left at four days, but if a longer time was needed such as in the case of a
~; fire or construction project, an appeal could be made to the City Manager
to determine the length of time the POD may remain on the property.

regulations for PODS.
