W. Hamel, and Gretchen Miller. <br /> Councilor Emily Schue was absent. <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> I. ITEMS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS <br /> A. Requested Hearing from Owner of Briarwood Mobile Home Park <br /> Mr. Obie stated he wished to discuss the Briarwood Mobile Home Park <br /> conditional use permit requirements and alternatives. The owner has <br /> requested a hearing before the City Council and wishes to resolve the <br /> problem. He does not feel he has received a satisfactory staff <br /> response. Mr. Obie would like to allow the owner to come before the <br /> councilor to have staff work out the problem within the next two <br /> weeks. Mr. Henry referred to a memorandum from John Weber, dated July <br /> 9, 1980, outlining the action. The procedure is to go to the Planning <br /> . Commission, not the City Council. Efforts have been made to take care <br /> of this problem. The City and adjacent property owners have com- <br /> plaints. Jim Farah, Planning, stated that Mr. Harrison has talked <br /> with them. This has proceeded into the enforcement process of the <br /> Planning Department and he is no longer involved in making this <br /> decision. They have been told that they could request a hearing. Mr. <br /> Obie stated the individual wants to act with either the Planning <br /> Commission or the City Council and asked for further direction. Mr. <br /> Henry stated he would like to consult with the Attorney's Office and <br /> bring back a report next week. Mr. Obie stated that one of his <br /> concerns is not to spend more legal fees than necessary. <br /> Mr. Haws stated that he is concerned about the lawsuit filed by John <br /> Franklin. He does not want to be involved but thinks the attorneys <br /> should handle it since they are involved. Conditional use generally <br /> goes before the Planning Commission. Mr. Obie stated that he does not <br /> have a problem consulting with the attorneys and that this will <br /> eventually come back before the Planning Commission. Mr. Haws stated <br /> that he feels the council should be careful to have the attorneys <br /> start the lawsuit and then stop it if possible. He would like for Mr. <br /> Henry to bring back the report. He noted that sometimes money must be <br /> spent for code enforcement. Ms. Miller noted that she would like to <br /> see the January 31 letter from Bill Sloat. They should be informed of <br /> the avenues of appeal. She wondered whether they had been told about <br /> the appeal process, and Mr. Delay stated that the memorandum says that <br /> Mr. Harrison was told in a meeting. <br /> ~. . <br /> 7/9/80--1 <br />
