Hammersten moved, Carlson seconded that the resolution be adopted. Roll Call Ayes~(5) Nayes-(O). Mr. Douglas, Attorney-representing property owners near the trailer camp, made an appeal to the council that they appeal the case to the supreme court. He gave three possible P9ints that may change the case. First, zoning ordinance in 1942, 1948, and 1953. That entire area was used as a tnailer park. Make the council render that fact and hold them to it. The court made a finding that Mr. Howard's expansion did not constitute a violation of any ordinance. The second is t hat whether or not that entire area was being used in 1941 as a trailer park. Third, any abandonment of the use of the property made prior to 1941. Karon found the evidence overwhelmingly decreased in size in 1946. I believe there were 5 or 6 witnesses. If explained on that point, it may help. Abandonment of the use of the preperty would have to be considered. An appeal should be taken for the Village as a whole. An appeal must be taken before the 11th of February, otherwise there would be no appeal possible by virtue of the expirement of the 40 days allowed. Ray Slomkowski-809 Lovell, Grandview Parks Organization, with a membership of 100, spoke on how the taxes and fire protection will go up, cost of educating children from additional trailers. Don Johnson, 771 Cope, spoke and suggested that the Village pay for the appealing of the case. The attorney spoke on the ~oning validity of zoning ordinance. 445 Zittel & Maher re- zoning Trunk Highway Grading
