<br />JAN. 30, 2008 <br /> <br />TO: Dallas Larson, City Administrator <br />Mary Capra, Mayor <br />Centerville City Council <br /> <br />Myself and many other citizens of Centerville are troubled <br /> <br /> <br />by the city's "selective enforcement" of various city ordinances, <br /> <br />however it might serve those who are favored or benefitted. <br /> <br />I wish at this time to cite Chapter 93.03 "Mailbox Place- <br /> <br /> <br />ment and Installation" passed as Ordinance 48 on 5-24-1989. <br /> <br /> <br />Under (B) "Grouping mailboxes and paper boxes", it states mail- <br /> <br />boxes shall be clustered in groups of not less than four nor <br /> <br /> <br />more than six. There are countless clusters in the city that are <br /> <br /> <br />in violation of this (more than six). Public Works did the <br /> <br /> <br />grouping qa the end of Mayor early June of 1989. I know, because <br /> <br /> <br />I closed on my home on 5-31-89, and my single stand was removed <br /> <br /> <br />and the box clustered. The city's usual answer is that something <br /> <br />is "grandfathered"; that won't work here as the homes to the <br /> <br />north of mine were built in 1990 or later. <br /> <br /> <br />Also, as it relates to item (B) in Chapter 93.03, the mail- <br /> <br /> <br />boxes installed on the Hanzal lots on Old Mill Road do not meet <br /> <br /> <br />the code. Less than four mailboxes are permitted if more than <br /> <br /> <br />250 feet from the properties they serve. They do not meet the <br /> <br />distance criteria. <br /> <br />As with any statute or set of standards it doesn't do any <br /> <br /> <br />good to say what we do unless we do what we say. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />)/~,/,. ;.'
