Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,April 23, 2012 <br /> Page 17 <br /> Councilmember McGehee noted the need to comply with City Code, and asked <br /> Mr. Munson if storage of the fence materials in the screened porch was accepta- <br /> ble with City Code. <br /> Mr. Munson advised that inside storage — whether in the screened-in porch or <br /> garage — would both be acceptable as long as the storage was in accordance <br /> with City Code. <br /> Councilmember McGehee suggested that Mr. Cox be given up two (2) weeks to <br /> move the fence materials into the garage or screened porch at his discretion; and <br /> questioned the status of leaves on site in black garbage bags mentioned by Mr. <br /> Cox. <br /> Mr. Munson advised that the garbage bags may have been part of the original <br /> complaint; however, they had been resolved and were no longer part of the re- <br /> quested abatement. <br /> Councilmember Johnson noted the potential for resolution of the fence material <br /> issue if Mr. Cox remediated the situation as he suggested. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that this was typical for many abatement issues, with the <br /> homeowner given time to resolve an issue and comply with City Code; howev- <br /> er, he noted that staff's request for abatement authorization often provided an <br /> incentive to a property owner to resolve the issue and avoid the abatement pro- <br /> cess. <br /> Councilmember Johnson suggested that Mr. Cox's word be accepted that he <br /> would mediate the problem of the fencing and fence poles by a date certain. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that the next meeting of the City Council was scheduled for <br /> May 14, 2012, which should allow Mr. Cox more ample time to resolve the is- <br /> sue to avoid abatement action. <br /> McGehee moved, Johnson seconded, to not take action on the abatement re- <br /> quest in the RCA at this time, allowing Mr. Cox time to address the code viola- <br /> tion, but directing staff to bring the abatement back to the City Council for con- <br /> sideration on May 14th if not addressed by the property owner by then. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: McGehee; Johnson; Pust; and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> Abstentions: Willmus <br /> Motion carried. <br /> 13.
