City code allows owners of homes in <BR>>single-family residential zones to rent out one room with the approval of a <BR>>conditional use permit. Applicants must prove there is adequate parking and <BR>>that the boarding house would not disrupt the character of the >neighborhood. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>The complainants do not think the boarding houses are operating legally. <BR>>Moscow resident Don Huskey filed a complaint against 17 properties in >Moscow <BR>>he thinks are boarding houses coordinated through New Saint Andrews >College. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>"To my knowledge there have been no requests for conditional use permits <BR>>submitted to the city of Moscow for these boarding houses," he wrote. <BR>> <BR>>Huskey claims the number of people living in the boarding houses greatly <BR>>exceeds the boarders allowed even if a conditional use permit was granted. <BR>> <BR>>The city Administrative Committee discussed the city code and neighbors' <BR>>complaints Monday. Committee chairwoman and City Councilwoman Linda Pall <BR>>asked City Attorney Randy Fife to create a memo with more information about <BR>>the zoning question and the addition of two amendments clarifying the <BR>>definitions of boarding houses and bed and breakfasts. <BR>> <BR>>"There are inconsistencies in our code," Fife said. "The code needs to be <BR>>clarified before much can be done." <BR>> <BR>>Boarding houses are money-making properties and are seen as commercial <BR>>facilities in a residential zone, he said. <BR>> <BR>>"The issue is exchanging money for space," Pall said, but the definition of <BR>>a family and how it differs from a boarding house scenario also is at >issue. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>The code recognizes the definition of a "relationship" family, those >related <BR>>by blood, adoption or marriage, as well as the "functional" family. In a <BR>>functional family, up to six unrelated people are allowed to inhabit a home <BR>>as long as they act as though they are a family. This could be any <BR>>combination of people not related by blood. <BR>> <BR>>Diane Baumgart, who lives in the Pope, Stephens and University Heights 2nd <BR>>additions filed one of the complaints and a petition signed by more than 40 <BR>>neighbors. <BR>> <BR>>"Illegal rental units are in direct competition with legitimate businesses <BR>>that operate rental units," she wrote in her complaint. "Residents who obey <BR>>the zoning code are currently being penalized. Our rights are not being <BR>>respected or protected." <BR>> <BR>>Pall said some people hate the noise, parking or the appearance of old <BR>>upholstered furniture on the front porch. <BR>> <BR>>The solution to the problem is simple, said committee member and Councilman <BR>>Aaron Ament. "Enforce the law. If someone makes a complaint, the city >should <BR>>come and check it out." <BR>>It's important to move quickly because school at the University of Idaho >and <BR>>New Saint Andrews gets out at the end of May and many students are making <BR>>housing arrangements, Pall said. She suggested a plan of outreach, >outlining <BR>>the laws for potential renters, real estate agents and neighbors. <BR>> <BR>>The committee will discuss boarding houses in single family residential <BR>>zoning areas again at their next meeting at 4:30 p.m. April 24 at City >Hall, <BR>>206 E. Third St. <BR>> <BR>>* In other committee business, it was decided the police chief will <BR>>determine the fate of vicious dogs, and cats will continue to run freely in <BR>>Moscow after changes to laws regulating animals were rejected. <BR>> <BR>>The changes would have created an animal care law, a law addressing <BR>>dangerous dogs and the creation of a commission that would promote >education <BR>>around animal care issues. <BR>> <BR>>"I say we leave the situation as it is," said Moscow City Councilman and <BR>>committee member John Weber. Passing the new laws "would increase <BR>>administration costs and we'd still end up with a number of free roaming <BR>>cats." <BR>> <BR>>Moscow Police Chief Dan Weaver agreed. <BR>> <BR>>"It wouldn't be serving animals any differently than now," he said. He said <BR>>the changes would have cost $27,000 a year. <BR>> <BR>>-------------------------------------------------------------------- <BR>> <BR>>You know what this means, don't you? <BR>> <BR>>40+ more Intoleristas <BR>> <BR>>I'm definitely gonna need a larger rolodex now. <BR>> <BR>>Seeya round town, Moscow. <BR>> <BR>>Tom Hansen <BR>>Moscow, Idaho <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>************************************************* <BR>> <BR>>"When people sin, everybody has to pay." <BR>> <BR>>- Douglas Wilson of Wilson, Inc.
