Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 21, 2014 Page 12 Councilmember Laliberte opined that the proposed language was written in way that does allow neighborhoods to go on as they are if no problems exist; however, she remained troubled that the full discussion was not taking place at this time. Councilmember Laliberte expressed her interest in addressing sight lines, drive- ways and other issues at the same time this proposed language is considered. Not that she didn't support this proposal and recognizing it as a good start in solving problems for particular residents using streets for storage and creating safety con- cerns, a pattern in some places, but Councilmember Laliberte opined that without subsequent changes being addressed also, she was not ready to support only this portion of it. Mayor Roe, assuming specifics and reasons for leniency were still needed, with those options available when an issue came before the City Council for action, he opined that this allowed the City Council to stay on top of any additional discus- sions, while looking at the maximum and specific number of items occurring on a given property. Mayor Roe recognized that there were many aspects of the exist- ing Nuisance Code that needed refreshing, he spoke in support of this revision, and anticipating further and ongoing discussion as the larger issues were re- viewed.
