P2 <br /> t I <br /> City of Centerville <br /> Council Meeting Minutes <br /> November 14, 2012 <br /> receive City requests either by telephone or in person rather than by mail and requested <br /> that they be allowed to improve the Outlot if the City was not going to be responsive to <br /> their requests for cleaning it up. Council Member Fehrenbacher stated that one abutting <br /> neighbor had installed a bridge, which the City removed due to it not meeting structural <br /> requirements and that the owner had requested that it be returned and to date it had been. <br /> Residents admitted that in the past they had been depositing items (brush and grass <br /> clippings) on the property a stopped after they found out that it disturbed the drainage <br /> ditch. Lengthy discussion was had by the Public Works Director Palzer stating that the <br /> contractor who cleaned the ditch left the site in satisfactory condition, that neighboring <br /> property owners placed brush and additional items onto the City's property on numerous <br /> occasions, that other debris could have been left by the previous owner, Ground <br /> Development and that most of the stumps viewed by property owners are located on their <br /> own property with the City not being responsible for removing them. <br /> Mr. Richard Gillitzer, 6873 Mallard Way, stated that he desired to clear and spruce up <br /> what he thought was his property due to the fact that it states that he owns a portion of the <br /> Outlot on his deed and he learned from his neighbors that he did not own it that the City <br /> did. Mr. Gillitzer explained that he desires to clean the same size area as his neighbors. <br /> Mr. Gillitzer also stated that he received a similar letter from the City, felt that it would <br /> be not only in his best interest but also the City's to spruce up the area, that City Staff <br /> was extremely rude to him when they were visiting the Outlot recently and that the letter <br /> was very threatening. <br /> Attorney Glaser stated that there would be slight liability on the City's part if something <br /> happened during the resident cleanup. <br /> Consensus of the Council was for abutting property owners to meet with City Staff <br /> regarding future cleanup efforts and subsequent authorization for the owners to <br /> commence cleanup. <br /> IX. ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES <br /> Council Member Fehrenbacher reported on the recent Police Governing Board meeting <br /> stating that staff was offered similar benefits as was offered to union employees, that <br /> several individuals that serve on the board were up for re- election, with representatives <br /> from the cities of Lexington and Centerville being reelected to their positions and that the <br /> City of Lexington will be hosting the meetings for the upcoming year. <br /> Council Members Love and Paar both thanked City Staff and election judges for their <br /> hard work with the recent General Election. Both Council Members thanked voters for <br /> the large turnout. <br /> Council Member Love stated that Mr. Chad Buechler, Operating Manager for CenterMart <br /> appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commission in November requesting a <br /> Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a U -Haul Rental business at 1825 Main <br /> Street and the Commission ordered a Public Hearing for December 4, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br />
