To whom it may concern:
My name is Robert Gorges
Address:
I have a Highland post office, but live in the city of San Bernardino.
For the last 12 years I have parked my Motor Home in my driveway. I went before the city council years ago, about
parking my Motor Home . At that time ( I have no proof) but I wouldn’t lie! That I was told by the previous
councilman of the fourth ward. “ as long as I parked my MH in my driveway, and NOT in the street , that would be
ok. Recently i received a letter from the city, that I have to move my MH! Someone complained!
Now I would like to address the city’s ordinance.
The ordinance states in part : RV must be parked behind the front of the building. My house was built before this
ordinance became law.For me and 95% of the houses in my neighborhood & probably the city. The cost would be
prohibited! To me as a taxpayert this law is unreasonable ! Predjuical in the fact if your neighbor has a beef , they
call code enforcement. So really this law is unenforceable, because the city doesn’t have the resources to enforce the
law, I have Beauitful home, I triple car garage, I have put $50,000 into this house in the last four years( new roof!
New A/C new paint and a remodel pool!
I realize all this will fall on deft ears! We are retired & on a fixed income, and of course there is Covid!
I drove around my immediate neighborhood and found two trailers( one with no license plate) parked in the street!
Two eighteen wheelers, parked in there driveways, and a travel trailer parked in there one car driveway! I am m
sure there are more! I know what your rebuttal will be, it takes away from the neighborhood, personally I think the
city has more to worry about than tax paying citizens parking there RV’s in there driveway!
Thank you for your time!
