The City of Atlantic’s Community Protection Committee (CPC) met Tuesday evening (June23rd), to discuss the City’s Code of Ordinances with regard to: Truck and Large Vehicle Parking; Parking for Personal Vehicles, and, the Zoning Code pertaining to the location of boats, boat trailers, campers and travel trailers. City/Zoning Administrator John Lund told KJAN News their recommendation to the full City Council during their next regular meeting, will be to allow parking of boats, boat trailers, campers, RV’s, etc. on a property owner’s front yard, but with some stipulations.

An “improved surface” includes grass, all gravel or limestone. Owners of corner lots will need to check with the Atlantic Police Department to make sure your camper, etc., isn’t creating a visual hazard for motorists. The CPC voted to repeal a redundant section of the Zoning Ordinance that addresses those issues.

Lund says the CPC discussed requiring property owners to park their vehicles and other such large items on a concrete, asphalt or limestone, but there wasn’t a lot of support for that.
