132 May 14, 1973 Mr. Frazer reported that the fence separating the yards is broken and laying in his yard. He asked Mr. Bruder to fix it, he s6T1d he would, but that was some time ago and nothing has been done about it. Mr. Jaworski asked if we couldn't classify this as a junk yard in a residential area. Mr. Bohjanen questioned how many times the Village had taken Mr. Bruder to court. Mr. Locher said he thought, 3, starting in 1967. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the trucks parked in the back have currect plates. Mr. Myhre said, No. Mr. Jaworski suggested that the Police Department issue tags to clean up the entire area and have it done in 2 weeks - -if not completed in that time -then tike Mr. Bruder to court again. Mr. Frazer asked if the gas tank in was discussion as to the tank. Mr. Ordinance covering the storage of fl that Mr. Bruder is in direct violati the back yard was legal. There Locher read from our ammable liquids and it would appear on of this Ordinance. Mr. Hutchinson said, that in his own mind, and as a private opinion, there didn't seem to be the desire to clean the area. Someone questioned that this area could be cleaned in 2 weeks. Mr. Hutchin- son said it could be done in one day if there were enough people to do the work. There was a suggestion that the Village go in and clean it and charge the cost to Mr. Bruder. Mr. Hutchinson warned the Council that if this was done then the Village would get involved in an inventory and the value that could be placed on some of the materials stored there. The Clerk reported that she had sent a registered letter to Mr. Bruder asking him to attend this meeting and has a receipt from the Post Office that it was delivered. She had also written all residents in that area informing them of this meeting. Mr. Hutchinson said that he had set up meetings with Mr. Bruder and he had either not shown up or had called and said he couldn't make it. Mr. Locher said that a possibility was to have the Judge come out and view this property. Mr. Jaworski suggested having the Fire Marshall and the Building Inspec- tor inspect this property for possible violations to either the Fire Code or Building Code, and make their recommendations the Council. Mr. Myhre said he had planned to go in an issue tags as soon as he had cleared some questions with Mr. Locher. He would prefer that the Fire Marshall and the Building Inspector go at a different time. Mr. Locher suggested citing him for one violation at a time and keep this going until the problem has been corrected. He will also contact the Judge and try to arrange for him to visit the property. The consensus of the Council was that this will have to be taken to court again.
