Donovan,
Nope, I'm sure the actual Idaho Code says FEET. However, since the
CURRENT Gang of 7 likes so much to take advantage any time the State
Legislature gives them any room to do something they might change it!
"however, that local authorities may by ordinance or resolution permit
the standing or parking of vehicles which are six (6) feet or less in
height within such thirty (30) foot distance, or as may be specified
by ordinance or resolution or as may be designated with appropriate
signs
