In all districts, all materials and equipment shall be stored within a building, or be fully screened so as not to be visible from adjoining properties, except for the following in good order: laundry, drying, and recreational equipment; construction and landscaping materials, and equipment currently being used on the premises; agricultural equipment and materials, if these are used, or intended for use, on the premises; off-street parking of passenger automobiles and pickup trucks; and fire wood. Boats and unoccupied campers, so long as they do not encroach on any dedicated public rights-of-way, plated rights-of-way, public easements, or utility easements, are permissible. If located within the front yard, they must comply with parking, as identified in § 151.27, and other applicable codes sections. In all districts, the city may require a special use permit for any exterior storage if it is demonstrated that the storage is a hazard to the public health and safety, or has a depreciating effect upon nearby property values, or impairs scenic views, or constitutes a threat to living amenities.
