Attorney Omer Call said in a letter to the At the request of the building council, inspector, Bill Romer, I am herewith advising you in regard to the use in Residential 2 of land for the storage of vehicles. I am advised that there have been 11 vehicles, some without engines, some without wheels and others missing different parts, being maintained on or about Seventh North and Second East. He explained, under section 29-- 6 of the Brigham City code, particularly, (24) thereof, this use would appear to be a maintenance of a junk yard. That the fact the owner claims antique vehicles as a hobby would not change the use or otherwise make it conforming. (18) Attorney Call said, of the same section of the code provides that a property owner may maintain a private garage used for the storage of not more than four automobiles owned and used by the occupants of the building. It would seem to me that the use of the word used implies something more than using the vehicles for spare parts or purposes other than transportation." It is my conclusion therefore that the use described by the building inspector is a use and should not be allowed in a Residential 2 zone, he told the council.
