The monthly meeting of the Adrian board of alderman was dominated with a discussion about people using RV's as living space on residential property. While the current ordinance states that RV's on residential property cannot be occupied more than 30 days per calendar year, a change was proposed by the planning and zoning board that would have modified that verbiage.
While the proposed change was thought to better the situation, it was met with opposition led by alderman Jeremy Bridges who said he thought it would be "overreach" and "would cause problems for those who simply have an RV parked on their property" and thus, a long discussion ensued.
It was decided to kick the proposal back to the zoning board for review and will likely be revisited during the upcoming February aldermen session.
Also discussed was parking on main street as Mayor Matt Cunningham pointed out that while there is open parking behind the Wine Journal, sometimes it isn't enough. At this juncture the aldermen are looking at adding additional spots along Max Stevens street near the railroad tracks.
The Adrian board of aldermen meet on the second Monday of the month, 7 pm, at city hall. The public is highly encouraged to attend.
