Motion was seconded by Member Rice.
Member Paulus said she had a problem in denying the variance request because the
homeowner did talk to the Building Department and built the fence with the
understanding that it met ordinance requirements. Further, the homeowner has
tried to remedy the situation by moving the fence back to provide for a clear view
area. Member Smith commented that he could share that concern but that he could
not agree with granting variances in the community based on how well our staff did
or did not do in communicating.

REPORT GIVEPJ ON STATUS OF WEITE OAKS LOTS Assistant Manger Gordon Hughes made
reference to a letter dated August 30, 1989 that was sent to Richard J. Andron
concerning Lot 9, White Oaks Second Addition and Lot 1, White Oaks Third Addition.
As directed by'the Council, the letter contained an cash offer of $32,000 for the

the White Oaks Improvement Association, and 2) The City would accept and
acknowledge receipt of a gift of approximately $120,000 in recognition of the
market value of the subject lots.

to this meeting.
Assistant Manager Hughes said that he had hoped

Mayor Richards asked if staff has communicated the terms of the offer to the White
Oaks Improvement Association so that they understand the Council's position and
what is expected of the Association. Connor Schmid, representing the Association,
said that that has been made clear and that the response the Association makes
would meet the requirements of the City if this goes forward.
REPORT PRESENTED ON OVIEW CEMETERY Manager Rosland referred to a memorandum
dated September 5, 1989 from David Velde, Sanitarian, concerning the nuisance
created by Grandview Cemetery for adjacent homeowners. The operator of the
cemetery, Harry Lindberry, has been excavating materials from the property,
hauling in fill, and operating a commercial trucking firm and handling various
materials on the site.

In addition, unused or discarded equipment and material
Staff has met with the neighbors and discussed the problem and actions the City
could take to, hopefully, resolve the nuisance. The neighbors agree that the
operation of a cemetery on the property would be acceptable; the trucking
enterprise and excavating operations are not acceptable to them.
that some earth moving activities will be occurring to grade the remaining land
for cemetery use.
The City can issue orders to Mr. Lindberry to abate the following nuisances: 1)
Tall and noxious weeds, 2) Accumulation of discarded tires, 3) Accumulation of
discarded or unused machinery and equipment, and 4) Failure to control fugitive
dust.
excavating operation or at least require such things as fencing and a grading
plan, and may be able to stop the truck storage and excavating operations. If successful, these actions would relieve some of the nuisances and would stop
the commercial trucking and excavating which has been occurring on the site.
They understand
The City also, based on the Zoning Ordinance, may be able to stop the
Staff would recommend that the following action be taken to bring about a long
term solution to the Grandview Cemetery problem:
Initiate action to attempt to stop the commercial trucking and mining
operations on the site.
Issue orders to attempt to abate the existing nuisances on the site.
At a minimum, attempt to require a site grading plan for development of the
property for cemetery use and set a date certain for completion of the site
grading and finishing.
Member Smith asked if staff had issued orders before concerning weeds, discarded
equipment and dust and also where the grading plan would fit.
said that the City has not but that those are routine kinds of things that could
be done; however, the problem is deeper than the nuisance issues. Concerning the
grading plan, he explained that the way the vacant land is now Mr. Lindberry would
be unable to use it as a cemetery and that some grading would be required.

completed.

Mayor Richards asked if the
affected neighbors would be willing to participate in defraying part of the cost
if legal action were taken against Mr. Lindberry.
Robert Eaton, 419 Monroe Avenue, commented that no one is trying to force
Mr. Lindberry out of his legitimate cemetery business. Speaking for himself, he
said he would not want to spend a lot of time on lengthy litigation; that he felt
the nuisances should be stopped but that he did not know how to accomplish that.
He said that other means should be tried first before we jump into a lawsuit.
'
Mayor Richards asked if it would make sense for he and the City Manager to sit
down with Mr. Lindberry in a non-confrontation type*of setting and discuss some of
the concerns that have been raised, if the other Council Members concurred with
that action. Mr. Eaton responded that he thought that would probably be the best
way to approach Mr. Lindberry.
Following more discussion, it was informally agreed by the Council that the Mayor
and Manager try to meet with Mr. Lindberry to discuss these issues and then report
back to the neighbors and the Council as to the outcome.

Mayor Richards said that several suggestions have been made: 1) That, in order to
have balance on the Commission, the individual be someone who is not proactive in
the development sense but one with interestfiackground and experience in the
fields of real estate or development, and 2) That 11 members on the Commission
tends to be an unwieldy number.
Following discussion on the issue of how many members should be on the Commission,
Mayor Richards suggested that information on terms and number of years served for
current Commission members be placed in the next Council packets and that the
Council debate this issue to determine if the number of commissioners should be
reduced before considering filling the position vacated by Mr. Johnson.
