• ISSUES FOR PROPERTY AT 908 -1/2 MAPLE STREET • 1 PAST POLICE CALLS I asked the Police Department to give me a list of all calls they had received on the property. They generated a report listing 6 calls, which were made between 2000 and present. Although they searched back to 1989, the year in which their records were computerized, they did not pull up any records beyond those six. This is probably due to the fact that the computer system that was used between 1989 and 2000 was name - specific, and not address - specific, and so in order to access specific records one would have to know the name of the person at the site in question (per Renee, PD). Searches were made using "K & C Custom Auto Body" and "Vision Automotive," (the known names of businesses in existence at the site), but no further records were found. I think it is a given that past site uses have caused an extremely high number of calls to the police department. Police Chief Dave Pecchia stopped to talk to me on this issue. He said residents should feel free to call the police with any complaints and concerns. I explained that residents had stated at the meeting that they had called many times on the property, but that nothing ever seemed to change or get resolved. To speak to such issues, I can only offer: 1.) Chief Pecchia has encouraged residents to use the police to resolve any concerns /complaints on site usage. 2.) Conditional Use Permits are to be reviewed by the City on an annual basis. Permits can be revoked by the City if the conditions which govern the permit are not met. Residents can make their concerns /complaints know by either contacting City staff directly, or appearing at any Planning & Zoning Board or City Council meeting and speaking during "Open Mike." City staff and Board and Council members are here to serve residents. SEPTIC ISSUES Residents expressed concern about the septic system on site. A review of past records indicate that no permit was ever issued for a septic system installation. A 1991 memo from building inspector Pete Kluegel, however, indicates that he noted a "toilet and sink" in the pole barn. Since a permit was never issued for a septic system, it seems likely that past owners /occupants may have either installed a system without pulling a permit, or hooked the pole building up to the system existing on the property adjacent to the north (908 Orange Street).
