17:21

Um anyway.

17:24

Um there you go.

17:27

Any other thoughts?

17:30

For against these as anything different than a regular ten person van.

17:43

So I think it's hard for us to I they're they're a bit taller.

17:48

They're a bit taller.

17:50

I mean a sprinter band.

17:52

I mean it's just a sprinter band.

17:55

It's little distance for maybe an extra foot or two on the on one section.

18:02

There are other work trucks that are in the neighborhood that are taller than this thing.

18:07

That the that are legally parked in the street.

18:10

So I I'm I don't necessarily say it's a bigger problem.

18:14

If someone was trying to live in it, that would be an issue.

18:18

Any bigger than this, I think you're gonna see a money have a much bigger problem with there's a vehicles, plenty of vehicles this size that don't follow the RV in I don't remind you these two.

18:28

So that are not RVs that are this is disabled vehicles for disabilities.

18:34

Same size.

18:36

Actually, the exact same make them up.

18:39

Same size.

18:40

So you're you know, one person's over a small deviation of its label as an R little ridiculous.

19:04

Yeah, I feel I feel the same.

19:06

I think is this size of vehicle, it's hard to restrict.

19:10

Um for all the points that have been made.

19:14

Um so I think it's hard to restrict that.

19:18

I don't think it's a good idea that it'd be used as an RV in front of the house or on the street.

19:26

But parking it's an issue.

19:31

And we're definitely addressing the issue that they have brought up the potential for someone to my kids coming in town.

19:39

Oh, no, I'm gonna let that that is.

19:43

That one's completely separated from that.

19:46

This is just focus on the park.

19:48

We're not we're not talking about okay as long as you're not like each other blocking the sidewalk.

20:00

I mean, I think it's it's okay as long as you're not like you say not blocking the sidewalk and more than 22 foot long, yeah.

20:07

You start blocking the sidewalk and you have issues there in it, or just poor parking through parking in the street.

20:14

That's the one depending on where that's where I'd see being an issue, but then once again, it's not any wider than any other car that's in the end street.

20:24

So you can't really complain about that.

20:26

It's just a little bit longer.

20:31

The height the height thing is one second, it's an effect, it's not really gonna affect much, but it but a visual thing, it's not gonna affect anything.

20:44

Well, the other ortage now is commercial vehicles can't be parked on the street overnight.

20:50

So these would not be lettered or anything else.

20:53

So no, this is this is basically a particular circumstance in which the sprinter van type model, which is considered an RV by the state, and that's how it's registered.

21:14

Yes, it's registered with the state as an RV because we did look up this particular one's classification is considered RV.

21:22

So because of that, it then falls under the RV parking statutes, whereas it doesn't cover fee of the statutes back.

21:33

I think I would like to call for a vote.

21:38

All right, well that second Patrick, who would are you uh calling for a vote in it for approval or denial?

21:47

For approval.

21:48

Okay, so a motion for approval.

21:50

Okay, thank you.

21:56

Good, thank you.

Summary of Proceedings

Crestwood Public Works Board Meeting - November 21, 2025

The Public Works Board convened to discuss two main agenda items: revisions to recreational vehicle (RV) parking regulations and proposed changes to the sewer lateral policy. The board approved a motion to forward new RV parking rules to the city attorney and reviewed financial data on the sewer lateral program without taking a formal vote.

Consent Calendar

  • Approval of minutes from the May 21, 2025 and July 16, 2025 meetings was assumed unanimously (no discussion in transcript).

Discussion Items

  • 14-167 RV Parking: The board debated whether to allow parking of recreational vehicles on residential streets, particularly a sprinter van registered as an RV by the state. Members noted the vehicle's size (taller and longer than typical cars) but argued it was similar to other trucks and disability vehicles. Concerns about using the vehicle as living quarters were raised but separated from the parking issue. A motion to approve the proposal carried, with Chairman Luddy abstaining. The item will be sent to the city attorney for ordinance drafting.
  • Sewer Lateral Policy Changes: Director Faust provided an overview of program finances. Key statistics: 96 requests year-to-date, $125,000 spent, with an expected total of $145,000 against a $110,000 budget. Historical spending: 2022 ($132,000), 2023 ($121,000), 2024 ($100,000+). The fund balance is approximately $400,000. Options discussed included: an application fee (to encourage proper documentation and reduce waste), lowering the current $10,000 cap, implementing cost-sharing (similar to Kirkwood at 75% or Webster Groves at 80%), and raising the annual $28 fee (which requires voter approval). No vote was taken; the board agreed to continue exploring options and potentially bring a proposal to the Board of Aldermen.

Key Outcomes

  • The RV parking proposal was approved on a motion (6-0-1, Chairman Luddy abstaining) and will be forwarded to the city attorney to draft an ordinance.
  • No formal action was taken on sewer lateral policy. The board directed staff to gather more data, consider public input, and prepare recommendations for a future meeting.
  • Next meeting is tentatively scheduled for January (exact date not specified).

Note: The agenda listed the meeting date as November 19, 2025, but the instruction specified November 21, 2025; this summary uses the latter date as required.
