1 Regular Council Meeting <br /> 2 July 28, 1992 <br /> 3 Page 14 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 <br /> 6 <br /> 7 three, including herself, who opposed it. However, <br /> 8 because Mr. Burt had brought a mediator to work with <br /> 9 them, the committee were able to reach an understanding <br /> 10 on the issue, the evening went along very smoothly, and <br /> 11 at the end all participants were getting along very well. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Mrs. Antczak indicated she thought the mediation process <br /> 14 should at least be tried in the Pahl neighborhood, <br /> 15 although she conceded it sounded a lot worse than her <br /> 16 group's situation. However, She commented that it might <br /> 17 be better than waiting months for an ordinance which <br /> 18 might, or might not, solve the controversies. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 John Jadinak, 2805 27th Avenue N.E. , related his problem <br /> 21 with nearby businesses like the butcher shop and filling <br /> 22 station parking their cars in front of his house and <br /> 23 preventing the streets in that area from ever being <br /> 24 plowed or swept out by City crews. He questioned why the <br /> 25 area wasn't at least posted when the City crews were <br /> 26 going to plow or sweep. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Councilmember Wagner indicated he would like to see some <br /> 29 samples of other communities ' home occupation ordinances <br /> 30 before turning the issue over to the Planning <br /> 31 Commission. He could see nothing to prevent having the <br /> 32 problem on Pahl mediated in the meantime. Mr. Burt told <br /> 33 him the only involvement the City would have would be to <br /> 34 have a mediator there to work with the differing parties. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Mr. Hoban was asked whether he would be open to mediation <br /> 37 and he replied that "the way they've treated me and lied, <br /> 38 I don' t know whether I could trust any word they might <br /> 39 "give during mediation" . The Manager told him it <br /> 40 wouldn't be a case of verbal agreement but rather, actual <br /> 41 written agreements come out of the mediation process. He <br /> 42 said the fact that the residents of 2704 Pahl had already <br /> 43 hired an attorney does not cause him to concede failure <br /> 44 yet. He said maybe Mr. Brown and Mr. Hanson won't agree <br /> 45 to mediation but he felt it was at least worth the try. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 The Manager indicated he would do the necessary research <br /> 48 on other communities ' home ordinances and would put them <br /> 49 on the first Council work session he could. <br />
