From the KC Star's Letters to the Editor:

Overland Park is very close to changing its ordinance (PMV-2577) regarding parking and storage of RVs and boats...

Even though we will be grandfathered, it will be at a great financial burden to comply with the outrageous screening and side yard requirements.

Storage of RVs over 8 feet tall will not be allowed in the side yards any longer. Furthermore, screening to a height of 8 feet or more will be required on three sides of the RVs. Boats will not be allowed to be stored at all on the driveways and all open parts of boats must be covered with covers that are custom fit to the contours of the boat. The custom fit cover must be designed, manufactured and tailored to closely fit the body style and size group of the specific make, model and year of the item to be covered.

Stop being silly, upset Overland Park RV and Boat Owner. If you wanted to park your rusted-out boat and RV in your front yard with your '83 LeBaron on cinder blocks, you chose the wrong city to live in. Jeez.

On the other hand, I'd hate to further burden financially strapped RV and boat owners in Overland Park.
