Council Minutes of 10 -07 -2014 storage of firewood and provides setbacks for firewood storage on side lots and rear yards. Furthermore, this will prevent firewood from being stored in front yards. With the increase in residents burning wood for heat, this will provide guidelines for storage and will be monitored by the Building Dept. When originally discussed, there was a provision concerning front yards. That was misplaced and so tonight Council will add that to this amended section. There was some discussion and comments that this will also help with the covering of swales in the back of lots.
