Why has that location suddenly become an issue? It is not true that <br /> the toilet has not been there the last 1 -2 years. <br /> How is this a safety issue? There is actually more vandalism in that portion of the park than in <br /> any other. Where it stands now it could be easily tipped over and leak into our property. It <br /> blocks the view from the road to the play area causing an even greater probability of vandalism <br /> and crime from the park. The last time the city was adamant about placing the porta potty in <br /> this area I watched 2 teenagers nearly tip it over in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. The <br /> only thing stopping them was a passerby. <br /> Thirteen years ago we ran across this same problem. The city of Centerville put that porta <br /> potty literally in our backyard. In doing so they killed trees and did other destruction to our <br /> property. When we asked why we heard it was a vendor issue. I called 4 vendors again <br /> today. Most, including Jimmy's Johns, have a 30 foot hose for their pumper trucks. I personally <br /> went and measured 30 feet from the existing spot. The porta potty should be reachable by the <br /> pumper truck without driving on the path. There is also another spot to the East that is well <br /> within that range. The vendors also said that they pick up the porta potty when placing <br /> them. Again, no truck is needed on the path. I see squad cars driving up that path. How does <br /> that not do damage? <br /> As a tax paying property owner, I find it deplorable that the city itself is my worst neighbor. Not <br /> i <br />
