up, it got better but even so, we have to tolerate garbage and constant clean up with massive clean-up every spring. My husband built a swing set and playhouse for our daughter in the back of the yard. After which, Frank's Place put their dumpster right on the other side of it causing garbage to blow into our kid's play area. There is noise all the time. When they plow the snow, they plow it into the fence and it damages it. We tolerate all of this because we don't want to be stressed out and mess with business,but having any sort of outdoor area would increase all of these issues. Steve Tomasula, 326 W Navarre Street, stated, I'm shocked to see this because we didn't receive any notification that any of this was going on until I called this morning to find out what room the meeting tonight was going to be held in and was told about this room and this meeting. We are planning on building a garage that would also become land-locked if this were to be vacated. And the gate is not very secure. We've had a motorcycle actually drive through the fence as well. Frank wouldn't contribute to building the fence so I built it because of all the problems. The police came to us and suggested the fence. That is why it is there. Committee Chair Voorde turned the floor back to the Committee and Council for further comments or main motions. Councilmember Tim Scott stated, I did help Mr. Chapman put up the gate. It was a compromise at the time. I can't recall the documents from the City but the idea was that a fence, given the `ok' by all parties, would be built. The biggest crime problem before the fence was that alley. Whether it was drunk driving, speeding or passed out people, the problems were worse. There also used to be armed security around Frank's. Committeemember Ferlic made a motion to send Bill No. 41-17 to the full Council with an unfavorable recommendation. Committeemember Kelly seconded the motion which carried unanimously by a voice vote of four(4) ayes. With no other business, Committee Chair Voorde adjourned the Public Works and Property Vacation Committee meeting at 3:58 p.m. Respectfully Sub itted, lA-A, John Voorde, Committee Chair 4
