Mr. German recommended that Council authorize the <br />City to participate with Albemarle County in the Program. <br /> <br /> Mrs. Gleason questioned whether the Program would <br />provide information to the public and Mr. German replied <br />that a large part of the Program is distribution of <br />information to the public. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mrs. Gleason, seconded by Dr. Hall, <br />Council unanimously authorized the City's participation with <br />Albemarle County in the Appalachian Integrated Pest <br />Management Demonstration Project. <br /> <br />ORDINANCE: REMOVAL OF INOPERATIVE MOTOR VEHICLES FROM PRIVATE <br />PROPERTY (2nd reading) <br /> <br /> Mr. Clyde Gouldman, City Attorney, stated that an <br />amended ordinance had been provided which contained <br />different standards for "viewing" inoperative motor vehicles <br />in residential versus business districts. Mr. Gouldman <br />stated that within residential districts vehicles would <br />need to be restricted from view from up to the second floor <br />of a building, and within business districts would need to <br />be restricted from view from the street. <br /> <br /> On motion by Dr. Hall, seconded by Mr. Barnes, the <br />ordinance was unanimously amended to include Mr. Gouldman's <br />recommendations as described above. <br /> <br /> The ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND <br />REORDAIN SECTION 16-8 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF <br />CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA TO STRENGTHEN THE ABILITY OF THE <br />CITY TO REMOVE INOPERATIVE MOTOR VEHICLES FROM PROHIBITED <br />ZONING DISTRICTS," as amended, which was offered at the <br />meeting of March 21st, was approved by the following vote. <br />Ayes: Mr. Barnes, Mr. Buck, Mrs. Gleason, Dr. Hall, Mr. <br />Towe.

As written, the vending stands would need to be <br />approved by the appropriate board of architectural review. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tom Fitch, Executive Director of Downtown <br />Charlottesville, Inc., stated that he felt repeal of the <br />vending ordinance would be helpful to DCI, though DCI <br />members have not had an opportunity to review the proposal. <br />Mr. Fitch questioned whether short-term vendors could be <br />exempt from review by the board of architectural review. <br /> <br /> <br />
