Community/Campus Advisory Coalition (CCAC) April 28, 2010 Meeting Minutes Page 4 Marguerite Taylor said things have been relatively quiet in her neighborhood. She will be meeting with the new manager of Notre Dame Apartments to discuss neighborhood expectations. She also commented that the Notre Dame summit held on March 26tH was very informative. Residents, students from Saint Mary's and Notre Dame and City officials came together to discuss a variety of topics. MISCELLANEOUS NOTRE DAME BOARD MEETING Tim Sexton said that he will be meeting with the Notre Dame Board to discuss relations between the City and the University. He is happy to be able to report to the Board there is lots of positive momentum. He said he will be using quotes from Coalition members to illustrate how the Notre Dame/City relationship has improved. He thanked Dick Nussbaum for his comment "The relationship has never been better, but it can't be taken for granted". CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES Cathy Toppel thanked students for their participation in the Rebuilding Together project. Still of concern to the Code Enforcement Department is the ongoing problem of too many students occupying rental properties. A newer problem Code Enforcement is aware of is rental of rooms to students in owner occupied homes. As the rental properties and owner occupied homes are identified, letters are being sent out informing property owners of the limit of two unrelated persons living in single family dwellings. Bill Kirk suggested putting the ordinance on the new housing website (rent.nd.edu) to help make students aware of the limitations. Mark Kramer asked Cathy Toppel to clarify when a grandfathered multi-family dwelling that is vacant would lose its grandfather status. Cathy said if the multi-family dwelling remains vacant for 12 months it is no longer grandfathered. UNDERAGE DRINKING Mike Carrington reported that the Excise Police have raised the level of enforcement for underage drinking. At the Local Alcoholic Beverage Board meeting earlier today there were eight or nine establishments that had to appear due to violations involving serving minors. In many cases minors were using false ids.
