REQUEST:
The Community Development Department-Code Enforcement Division requests
the City Commission considers information regarding boat and trailer parking and
advise Staff of desired action.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to request the City Commission consider information
regarding boat and trailer parking and advise Staff of desired action.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Under current regulations, recreational vehicles, including boats, trailers, and campers are
prohibited from parking in front yards and driveways. (Section 20-411) No provision is made
for the temporary loading, unloading, cleaning or maintenance of the recreational vehicle.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
Some residents store their boats and campers in off-site locations. In order to leave on a trip
early one morning, the vehicle must be picked up from the storage site the previous evening. It
may be parked in the driveway for 8-10 hours. In addition, after a camping or boating trip, the
vehicle must be cleaned before being returned to the storage site. It may be necessary to pre-
load a camper or boat the night before a trip. This is not possible at the off-site facility.
A survey of some other municipalities revealed that a "grace" period of 24-72 hours within a 7-
day period is often allowed for the purpose of maintenance. The city of Naples has a 48 hour
(;

grace period, the city of Boca Raton has a 24 hour grace period, the city of Winter Park has a 24
hour grace period, the city of Altamonte Springs has a 72 hour grace period and the city of
Longwood has a 24 hour grace period. The city of Casselberry allows camping vehicles a grace
period of 36 hours, but not boats and the city of Deltona allows a grace period of 36 hours for
boats and campers.
We have residents that are continually the subject of police complaints. The moment a boat
appears in their driveway, the police or code enforcement staff are summoned and requested to
issue appropriate notices and warnings.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that a period of time not to exceed 48 hours be afforded residents to allow for
the vehicle to be stored in the front yard to accommodate the needs of the resident. Staff
recommends the City Commission review the information presented and direct Staff to take
appropriate action.

REQUEST: The Community Development Department-Code Enforcement Division
requests the City Commission consider infonnation regarding P.O.D.S., portable on
demand storage units and give direction to Staff.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to request the City Commission consider
information Regarding P.O.D.S., portable on demand storage units and give direction to Staff.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
P.D.D.S. are portable storage units of varying size with signage that are delivered to a
residential or commercial lot, placed in the yard or driveway and either removed to a separate
facility or left for an indeterminate period oftime at the site. Currently, the building .division does
not regulate these portable structures. Our current code restricts other accessory structures to
rear yards, with setbacks, installation requirements such as tie-downs, and building permits.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
Staff has received numerous complaints regarding the placement of these units in residential areas
of the city. A recent survey of other municipalities resulted in the following:
City of Boca Raton- Currently has no regulation, but is anxiously awaiting the decision of the City
of Winter Springs.
City of Naples-Allows only for 10 days with a permit.
City of Winter Park-Allows for only 24 hours with a permit.
City of Casselberry-Prohibits, but will allow tempora structures n . S with
permit.

City of Sanibel-Prohibits
City of Jupiter-Does not regulate.
City of Longwood- Allows for up to 7 days without a permit. A permit is required for 8 to' 28
days.
Seminole County- Does not regulate. Is interested in how we respond.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Our current regulations require permits for pre-constructed storage sheds in residential areas.
Accessory structures are allowed with appropriate building permits and must meet set-back and
safety requirements, such as tie-downs and wind load limits. Because these P.O.D.S. units mayor
may not meet accepted wind-load limits, because they mayor may not be secure in high winds
without acceptable tie-downs, because they feature commercial advertisement on the side of the
unit that is larger than most advertising on commercial vehicles, and because the placement on the
driveway does not meet setback requirements, Staff recommends that permits be
required for the installation of these units. Staff requests direction from the Commission
concerning this matter.

It's the biggest breakthrough in moving and storage since the moving truck was invented!
Why? Because with PODS you only pay for what you use... the box portion of the truck! What's
more, the 'POD'TM is delivered to you,. with no more truck rental, no complicated insurance forms, no
gas, and no traffic accidents. And once the POD is packed, it can be delivered to your new
destination, or put in storage until you need it.
.
. Moving your home, apartment or business.
. Storing all types of items including furniti.Jre,
clothing, tools, documents, and holiday
decorations- anything that's taking up valuable
living space in your garage, closets & attics.
. Storing excess invenlory at your business site.
. Storing your household goods while you wait
to move into a new home.
. Anytime you need a temporary storage solution
without the hassles of renting a truck and a
mini storage unit.
j
Our delivery system allows us to gently lower and retrieve the POD using smooth hydraulic
power. The POD actually is suspended from a solid metal framework. The truck pulls forward
leaving the framework and POD in place. The POD is then lowered to the ground. The
framework is loaded back on the delivery tnlck and your POD is now ready for packing! Instead
of scrambling around renting, driving and loading a truck in one day, you now can pack and
move at your leisure.

mentation to the building official tt1at demonstrates that
the alternate materials and methods of construction are
equivalent to requirements in the code regarding quali-
ty, strength, eftectiveness, fire resistance, durability,
and safety. This documentation may be in the form o(
independent laboratory tests, calculations sealed by a
registered architect or engineer, or other means accept-
able to the building official.
SECTION 104
PERMITS
104.1 Permit application
104.1.1 When required. Any owner, authorized agent, or
contractor who desires to construct, enlarge, alter, repair.
move. demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or
structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove,
convert or replace any eleclri<;al, gas, mechanical or
plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by
the technical codes, or to cause any such work to be done,
shall first make application to the building official and
obtain the required permit for the work.
/'
I
Exception: Permits shall not be required for the fol-
lowing mechanical work:
I. any portable heating appliance:
2. any portable ventilation equipment:
3. any portable cooling unit;
4. any steam, hot or chilled water piping within any
heating or cooling equipment regulated by this
code;
5. replacement of any part which does not alter its
approval or make il unsafe;
6. any portable evaporalive cooler;
7. any self-contained refrigeration system contain-
ing 10 lb (4.54 kg) or less of refrigerant and actu-
ated by motors of I horsepower (746 W) or less.
104.1.2 Temporary structures. A special building permit
for a limited time shall be obtained before the erection of )
temporary structures such as construction sheds,. seatS'J
canopies, tents and fences used in conslruction work or for
temporary purposes such as reviewing stands. Such struc-
tures shall be completely removed upon the expiration of
the time limit stated in the permit.
Recognizing that there are occasions when tempo-
rary structures are necessary, the code gives only
basic requirements for such structures. This allows
the building official the opportunity to use judgement
in applying the requirements of the code. For
instance, a construction shed that will be located
within close proximity to a property line may not be
required to meet the fire resistance requirements of
Table GOO. Mter reviewing the proposed location and
slJrroundings, the building official can determine the
requirements 01 II1C code that SllOUld be aPDlicd 10
:;U<:JI <I :;Iwd.
(,
A temporary reviewing stand will) a canopy buill on
tile street to view a parade would be required to
meet the live load requirements of Section 1604, but
may not be required to comply with Chapter 32,
Construclion In 1I1e Public l=1igllt of Way, and Chapter
33, Site Work, Demolition, and Construction.
(
A permit must be obtained which allows the building
official the opportunity to review the project. A time
limit for such a temporary structure is set which guar-
antees that it will not be used permanently in viola-
tion of the code.
104.1.3 Work authorized. A building, electrical, gas,
mechanical or plumbing permit shall carry with it the right
to construct or install the work, provided the same are
shown on the drawings and set forth in the specifications
filed with the application for the permit. Where these are
not shown on the drawings and covered by the specifica-
tions submitted with the application, separate permits
shall be required.
Approval of a permit is conditional upon acceptance
of the work specifically described in the drawings
and specifications. Work that is not described
through drawings or specifications is not approved,
and therefore, approval requires the issuance of a
separate permit. This section is not intended to
require separate permits for submittal of details that
clarify the intent of the proposed work. Frequently,
complex buildings, such as malls and high rise build-
ings, require additional data to insure code compli-
ance. This section is not intended to prohibit a juris-
diction from utilizing a combination building, electri-
cal, gas, mechanical, or plumbing permit, but rather,
to require separate permitting for additional work that
is not adequately delineated in other permits.
104.1.4 Minor repairs. Ordinary minor repairs may be
made with the approval of the building official without a
permit, provided that. such repairs shall not violate any of
the provisions of the technical codes.
This section allows the building official the opportuni-
ty to use judgement to approve minor repairs, such
as replacing wall and floor finishes, repairing holes in
gypsum wallboard, and replacing broken window
glazing, without issuing a building permit. The build-
ing official should first verify that the repairs are.
indeed, minor and will not violate any code provi-
SIons.
