Bob Cheney of <br />Bob's Gulf noted that his trash barrel is used by everyone creating an <br />unsightly condition of his property. He asked if under the ordinance, <br />operators could store vehicles needing repair on their premises, The <br />Council felt that vehicles in need of repair could be stored as long as the <br />repair could be performed in a reasonable amount of time. <br />Robert Glazer asked if the ordinance applied to Century Motor Freight. <br />Attorney Meyers replied that it did not. <br />Jerry Blanchard, 8005 Groveland Road asked if a car has its engine pulled, <br />the car must be kept inside the premises. Attorney Meyers replied, "Yes ". <br />Mayor Neisen asked Attorney Meyers if a license was required in order to <br />place conditions on the repair and service of vehicles. Attorney Meyers <br />replied that it was not. <br />David Peterson, operator of Dave's Gulf, 2155 Highway Avenue, stated that <br />every car has a work order and the police could check them to find out <br />whether a car is being repaired or not. In reply, Attorney Meyers stated <br />that technically the Village would have to get a warrant to examine work <br />orders. Moreover, the Council is not in agreement as to how many cars <br />should be left on the premises. <br />William Gillespie, 2035 Highway #10, declared that if you regulate one <br />business you must regulate other businesses as well, including the Bel -Rae <br />Ballroom. <br />Councilman Baumgartner said that an ordinance such as this is almost impossible <br />to enforce and the police have other things to do. He recommended that the <br />Council adopt two separate ordinances, one dealing with the amendments <br />suggested above and the other regulating automobile, truck, and trailer repair <br />with the second ordinance requiring a minimum fee of $1.00 per year. <br />Harry Gum, 7805 Greenwood Drive, asked what other Villages do. Attorney <br />Meyers said some villages license in this manner, some communities license <br />a multitude of businesses. <br />
