<br />Mayor Wilharber inquired as to whether the property was under one (1) property <br />identification number. Mrs. Camp-Baron indicated the property was under two (2) <br />property identification numbers. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft indicated that the Barons are in violation of the ordinance as the vehicles need <br />to be licensed, operational and parked on a driveway. The piles of debris will also need <br />to be removed. Mrs. Camp-Baron stated the piles of debris are wood to be used for the <br />fence they are in the process of building. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson stated the condition of the Barons' property would concern her <br />if she were the next door neighbor. She then suggested Mrs. Camp-Baron review the <br />fence ordinance for the special requirements for comer lots before constructing the fence. <br /> <br />Mrs. Camp-Baron indicated she and her husband are asking Council for permission to <br />keep the six (6) vehicles as they feel they are entitled as tax paying residents to keep the <br />vehicles they currently have. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the <br />ordinance requires vehicles to be in an approved garage or storage building or parked on <br />a permitted driveway. If the property had three driveways, one for each lot, the six <br />vehicles would be allowed. There is a variance procedure for residents to ask for special <br />permission for situations outside ofthe ordinance. However, there are specific criteria set <br />by state law that need to be met in order for the City to allow the variance. Looking at <br />the situation, there is no way the City could grant a variance. <br /> <br />Mrs. Camp-Baron stated she pays her bills and her taxes and does not feel the City has <br />the right to tell her how many vehicles she can have on her property. City Attorney Hoeft <br />indicated the City does have the right to limit the number of vehicles a property owner <br />can have under state law. At this point, the Barons have been noticed that they are in <br />violation of the ordinance and if the property is not cleaned up and brought into <br />compliance they can be cited. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber noted that in one of the pictures it appeared the trees hung out over the <br />sidewalk. He inquired if the Barons had cut them back. Mrs. Camp-Baron indicated they <br />had been cut back. <br /> <br />Mrs. Camp-Baron noted the City had damaged their concrete retaining wall with a street <br />sweeper. She inquired as to when the City would be paying to repair it. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers stated Council would need to hear from Staff <br />concerning the damage to the concrete wall. <br /> <br />Mrs. Camp-Baron requested the City make an appointment to inspect the property as she <br />and her husband have instructed the police to arrest anyone found on their property <br />regardless of the reason. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber stated the Barons were to clean up the property and directed Mr. Palzer <br />to make an appointment with them for an inspection. <br /> <br />n~~~ ,., _,CC\ <br />
