"AN ORDINANCE FOR THE REGULATION OF HOUSE TRAILERS, AUTOMOBILE
CAMPS AND COURTS"
The Village Administrator read the Ordinance and the Mayor opened the
meeting for public hearing. The following interested parties appeared to
express their views as follows:
OBJECTOR
Marcia Duberstein
2010 North Lilac Drive
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Tourville
317 S unnyridge Lane
OBJECTION
Mrs. Duberstein states that she has
a lot which is otherwise unbuildable,
on which a trailer has been parked
and used for a residence for approx-
mately five years. She feels that
the proposed ordinance works a hard-
ship in her case since she must pay
taxes on the lot and is unalbe to
use it for other purposes.
Mr. and Mrs. Tourville feel that the
provision of parking a trailer on a
Village street for a maximum of 24
hours is unreasonable and that visi-
tors passing through in a housetrailer
should be permitted to park in front
of their hosts residence for a longer
period of time.
Council explained that such objections would be handled individually as
hardship cases and by permission of the Police Department.

Regular Meeting of the Village Council, September 1, 1959
PROPONENT
Mr. Merton Dresser
5200 Glenwood Avenue
REASON
Mr. Dresser feels that the most of
the objections voiced at the August
4th meeting have been covered in
the revised ordinance, but suggested
another revision to include a limit
of one trailer per residence under
the allowable trailer catagory.
MOVED by Teresi seconded by Flannagan carried to approve the ordinance
herein quoted by title as amended on its second reading and to instruct
the Village Attorney to incorporate a provision of one allowable trailer
per residence, said provision to be included prior to publication of the
ordinance. See Ordinance Book page .
Sanitary Sewer Assessment --Clifford E. White, 312 North Lilac Drive:
The Assessment Clerk and the Village Engineer presented a plat of the
property involved and listed the assessments against the property and the
portion of assessments included by the State in their award to the Whites
for land purchased by the State of Minnesota.
Mr. and Mrs. White appeared to present their objections to the present
assessments on the basis that the State, in their opinion, did not pay
for assessments. They feel that the distance of pipe needed for them
to connect to the sanitary sewer at present is excessive and unfair in
view of the assessments already against their property.
MOVED by Teresi seconded by Bies carried to refer the matter to the
Village Engineer for study and follow up, with the recommendation that
lateral sewer be installed to service the Whites and other properties
on petition submitted in the -usual manner. -
