City staff encouraged the City Council to take a look at the property in question as it appears most of the equipment has been removed, and Mr. Mann may be cleaning up the site and moving his business elsewhere. Arnold Kempe, attorney for Kevin Mann, referenced the alleged code violations as listed in the City's letter of May 30, 1989, and maintained that neither were pertinent for the Mann residence. Mr. Kempe stated that in light of what was allowed by Special Use in the conservancy district (gun clubs, auto dismantling yards, incinerators, etc.), and what was taking place on the Mann property, that the ordinance was not enforceable' Mr' Kempe stated that Mr. Mann was not running a business from his residence, only parking vehicles needed in the operation of his swimming pool business' Tara Arhip, an adjoining neighbor, stated that it was her opinion that Mr. Mann was not in violation of any City codes. Tony Penna stated that Mr' Mann is using the Dotte property, across the street from Mann's residence, to store sand needed in the operation of his pool business, and operating his equipment very early in the morning and late at night' The complaint received by the City did not make any reference to hours of operation of his equipment.
