Ms. Corbin suggested that the Code Enforcement Officer show
that the Stader Case CEB -1138 was in violation in case there was a
recurring violation. Me. Price was sworn in and presented the
case. The violation involved a small yard trailer that was parked
on the side of the house. The trailer disappeared for a while and
then reappeared. When she inspected the property on February 25,
1991 it was in compliance. Attorney Davidson asked Ms. Price if she
was asking for any penalties or if she was satisfied with the
compliance. Ms. Price said she was satisfied that the matter was
in compliance.
Attorney Korman was asked by Doctor Pearl to give the City's
recommendation and Attorney Korman proposed that the Board
find that the offender had been in violation, but had complied.
Should a repeat violation occur the Board could then take the
proper action under the repeat violation section. Motion was
called by Ms. Corbin to close the public hearing and Mr. Lomax
seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.
Mr. Lomax stated that Mr. Stader is now in compliance with Zoning
Ordinance #495, Section 618.6B(2) and he made recommendation that
the record show that Mr. Stader was difficult to reach and that the
trailer did leave the property and then reappear as a matter of
record for the Board. Ms. Latoski seconded the motion and the vote
was unanimous.
