History

9/1/2026 15:44:12 Closed by Joy Brown

No vehicles were present at inspection this morning. While weeds are starting to grow up in the driveway, there is gravel present. The gravel has not deteriorated to the point where vehicles parked here would be classified as parked on an unimproved surface. Properties are allowed to park their vehicles in their driveway, regardless of size. There are no zoning regulations in Title 20 of Bloomington Municipal Code which would restrict the property from storing this type of vehicle on their private property provided it is operable, currently licensed, and parked on an improved surface (such as on this gravel driveway).

Potential parking on unimproved surface violation and look at plates. Will have to look at historic imagery regarding driveway; site may be able to have drive depending on various factors but in improved condition.
