LAKE ELCO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Imm M/S/P Mazzara/Dunn To accept Landscaping and proceed with the (5 ayes) 8.OLD BUSINESS: the bid submitted by Buberl improvements in Tablyn Park. A. Hammes Mining Permit: Fraser stated that violations noted in the Building Inspector's letter to Bill Hammes were not recent violations, that some of them went back at least three years. She further stated that she received a letter from a citizen to the area of the Hammed stating that in their AMC-00E0 judgement, the Hammes' had taken advantage of the City by nottl-I-83 ce complying with the City's ordinances. Fraser suggested that very MEc-TimCr specific action be taken to get these violations remedied. Dunn stated that the Council should not confuse the mining permit with any other violation. He felt that if the mining permit was denied for unrelated items, the City is subject to liability and further stated that he felt it would be unethical. Morgan concurred with Dunn, and added that if the City handled each violation as a separate issue, they could be much more effective. Fraser stated that if the City acted one -by -one, there could be enormous legal expenses for the City. M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara To extend the Mining permit for one month. (4 ayes 1 nay <Dunn>) Fraser stated that if there is substantial movement in this month to correct the violations, we could then consider extending the permit again. To grant the permit now for an extended period of time is unreasonable. Mazzara asked the Hammes' if the violations could be resolved in a month: (Dorothy Lyons stated that they had been working on them). Mazzara stated that rather than granting the permit for one month, perhaps the Council should delay the permit for one month and see if an agreement can be reached between the Building Inspector and the Hammes'. Fraser stated she did not want to prevent the Hammes' their means of livelihood, but does not want things to continue as in the pastinasmuch as they do as they please. Eder advised the Hammes' to meet with the City Administration and form some written agreement and to follow thru with the agreement. Morgan stated that he would go along with the motion, but would prefer that the violations be handled one at a time.
