The Plymouth City Council members are still gathering input on the issue of residents parking vehicles in front yards.
The issue was brought up in September after City Attorney Sean Surrisi said the Plymouth Plan Commission members talked about it in a meeting. They would like to see the City Council members address the issue in an ordinance that restricts the practice.
Plymouth City Councilman Jeff Houin said in a previous meeting that he heard comments in the past where people have complained about seeing several cars parked in front yards. He added that he will be interested to see the wording of a proposed ordinance as how yard or parking space is defined.
Mayor Mark Senter commented Monday night that he received information from the City of Nappanee which included a definition of side yards and front yards, but Houin thought that was from a zoning ordinance pertaining to new development.
Plymouth City Attorney Sean Surrisi said he will do some more research and come up with a proposed draft of an ordinance for discussion at the next meeting.
