138 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 Luther's moves it will be an all around loss, a loss of jobs and of taxable property. Mr. Reinert asked Mrs. Duncanson how she felt this situation could be resolved? Mrs. Duncanson did not have a solution but noted that the VFW Club has garbage floating around and nobody complains about this. Mr. Reinert told Mrs. Duncanson she appeared to be very rigid in her position and unwilling to cooperate. The basic concern here is to get the boats off of the street and work to clean up the area. Mr. Kluegel said he felt the primary need is for screening and suggested a six foot cyclone fence or wood fence with everything stored within the fence. Mr. Bohjanen asked about the property between Luther's and the house to the east. Mrs. Duncanson said that Luther's rents the property from the former Mrs. Duncanson who has not allowed them to place a fence on it. Mr. Reinert asked Cheif Campbell how parking complaints are received. Chief Campbell said most complaints come through Central Communications. By the time a squad gets there the problem has left the area. Luther's has been very cooperative when a problem arises. Kevin Phillips - Mr. Phillips said he did not see a real solution for this area. He would like to see a fence and containment of the rubbish. He noted that nothing can be done about the loading and unloading of boats on the street. When businesses grow it is expected that they need larger areas. He felt that Luther's should not be able to impose on other rsidents and was concerned when minor infractions take place just because Luther's is allowed to be there. Another resident felt that Luther's was not being cleaned up. He recommended a privacy fence. He told of boxes being left on the road and when they get cleaned up more rubbish appears. He felt the traffic was the real problem. For the present he would like to see the boats moved from the right -of -way along Lake Drive because on coming traffic cannot be seen. Terry Malley, Knoll Drive agreed the problem was parking on the boulevard. He suggested placing signs telling people where to park. A gentleman from the audience asked to hear more concerning the underground gas storage tanks. Mayor Benson said he would not address this concern until after the Pollution Control Agency assesses the situation. PAGE 6
