9 Subsection ( c ) , which clarified the types of vehicles excected from the provisions of the proposed ordinance . Responding to question , City Attorney advised that a pickup truck with camper portion removed would be exempt from the prohibition , as it would then be con - sidered an unladen pickup truck . Councilman Keckley moved to introduce Ordinance amending Section 20 . 101 of the Code , relating to parking restrictions for certain vehicles , seconded by Councilman Weymouth . On question , Councilman Arnett noted the matter had been held over partially at his request , and having had the opportunity to review the material , as well as have furthe conversations with Staff , it appeared the weight of opinion seemed to be strongly in favor of the proposed ordinance ; that the instances of individual hardship were not as great , for the most part , as he originally thought . He expressed his appreciation to Council for the opportunity for additional study . James E . Lyons , 111 Wellesley Crescent , informed Council that on leavinghis home to attend this meeting , found three campers parked within 150 feet of his apartment house , one of which had remained in one spot at least six weeks , and stated he is very much in favor of the proposed ordinance , and that his neighbors are , also . He produced a news clipping , which he presented to Deputy Clerk for the record , relative to the growing numbers of recreation vehicles . Carl Fallstead , 32 Meadow Lane , referred to City ' s building restrictions which prohibit use of front yard for parking , and in complying with Building Code he is therefor forced to park in the street and suggested amendment to proposal to provide means of obeying the law before it goes into effect . Mayor Bury pointed out the restrictions would not affect passenger vehicles and responding to Mr . Fallstead ' s statement that this is discriminatory against campers he added that the question of visual interruption must be considered from the safety standpoint . It was also noted by Council that there are facilities for storing vehicles affected by this ordinance and while it may work a hardship on some , overall safety of the community is the main concern . Richard Salter , 1626 Alameda de las Pulgas , stated many apartments have only one parking space , anc+his own situation is that if he removed camper from his truck and stores it in garage , there would be no place to park either in his car , or complete camper . Bruce Wyckoff , 1215 Chesterton , expressed concern with reference to overnight parking ; believes they interfere with safety and traffic and are detrimental to appearance of the streets , and that campers , trucks , and the like , are the least desirable type of vehicle to be parked on street . Believes ordinance is justified . William Campbell , 1362 Regent Street , felt residents in the older areas of the City should be given some relief from the provision of this ordinance , because of lack of off - street parking . Francis L . Ludwig , 3050 Goodwin , supported proposed ordinance , adding that it may not go far enough , and that perhaps all automobiles should be included and that banning all overnight parking should be considered .
