Mr. Dulgar and Mr. Vickrey then gave the reasons they felt Ordinance 435 dealing with the parking of trailers and trailer camps in the City should be repealed. The Attorney said the Conditional Use Permit under the City Zoning Ordinance provides a better vehicle for handling such requests . The matter was continued to the next Council Agenda. The Council postponed consideration of wind screens and tennis courts until Community Service representatives arrived. The Attorney said there is no provision in the City Ordinance for extending the Conditional Use Permit to First American Care Facilities which expired May 24, 1977 . Mr. Hiebel will try to clarify during the PUD hearing whether the retirement apartments proposed to be built by First American are still part of the current plans for the Hedlund property. Mr. Vickrey advised that the request for reconsideration of a variance request from Berger Transfer should be referred back to the Planning Board because there are changes in the plans for front yard set back.

He felt the measures would be an effective way of dealing with the problem and, in the long run, would benefit the community as a whole. Mayor Miedtke arrived at 8: 15 P.M. but Councilman Stauffer continued to chair the meeting. Mr. Wethe told of "booze runners" who are operating out of cars and vans in the area and said he has identified many of the licenses of such vehicles as belonging to "outsiders who are not from Skycroft" and said conversations he had with one police officer led him to think the police are afraid to confront the culprits unless they actually witness a law being broken. Mr. Dulgar said he has talked to the Police -Department about their follow-up of licenses which have been referred to them by residents and said some contact has been made with parents of the offenders • (3)
