Friday, 07 September 2007

1. Dressed for Pflugerville

The City of Pflugerville is selling T-shirts with the city’s new slogan, “Between a rock and a weird place.” The shirts come in gray or blue with sizes ranging from youth small to adult XXXL. Shirts are $10 for children and $15 for adults. They can be purchased at the finance office, 100 E. Main St., Ste. 100 or at city events.

 

Vehicle restrictions

Beginning Oct. 1, the City of Pflugerville will begin enforcing a new ordinance, No. 894-07-06-26, which prohibits the parking of certain vehicles and trailers in the front and side yards (including driveways) of residences within the city limits.

These include:

• Vehicles in excess of 9,000 lbs.
• Vehicles exceeding 20 linear ft. in length
• Motor homes
• Any trailer, semi-trailer, boat trailer, trailer house or other non-motorized device or equipment designed or intended to be towed upon the public streets.

This same ordinance prohibits the parking of any motor vehicle in the side yard setback or front yard without it being parked on a hard surface consisting of concrete, brick or asphalt.

Due to the controversy of the ordinance, the council will revisit the issue. For information, call 252-8469.
