COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) â The Coldwater Board of Zoning Appeals backed City Planner Dean Walrackâs interpretations on Wednesday to two out of three zoning ordinance violations concerning the property at 86 Preston Street.
Petitioner Roger Dubois requested the interpretations after he was cited on March 11 for improper parking of a motor vehicle on residential property, the parking of semi-tractor trailers within a residential neighborhood and storing industrial materials and equipment within a property zoned A-1 One-Family Residential District.
Walrack was backed by the Z.B.A. on a motorized industrial crane that had no license plate which he felt was parked in violation of the cityâs Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance requires vehicles on residential zoned property to be parked on an improved surface consisting of a parking strip, parking bay, driveway, and garage.
