Council Minutes of 3/19/85 -4- Mrs. Linda Melda, 4286 Porter, complained of the very unhealthy, dangerous con- dition of the Flagner property. Police have been called a number of times because of teenagers congregating on the property, entering the abandoned house, kicking out the boards covering the windows, ripping off the garage door panels, etc. Police have responded but the trespassers werejust asked to leave; they were not cited or arrested. Mr. Tallon stated that he had discussed this with Building Commissioner Gundy who suggested that the City take care of the cleaning up and bill the owners. President Boehmer stated that he would personally look into this situation and see what can be done. Mayor Swietyniowski stated he would talk to Mr. Gundy tosaorrow. Law Director stated that this has gone on long enough; the Mayor should direct the Building Commissioner to inspect the property; if it is not 50~ salvageable, he should immediately proceed to condemn the property; send the notice of condemnation out; have legislation prepared once the notices have been sent. The owners then will have an opportunity to appear before the Building Code of Appeals and after that demolish the building and clear the property. Mrs. Patty Fink, 28300 Nandina Drive, also described the unsanitary and unsafe conditions of the Flagner property which have spilled over onto her property. Has been complaining about this since April of 1984. Ts contemplating a law suit against the Flagners, their contractor and the City of North Olmsted because nothing is being done. There is a continuous flow of trespassers; they are never cited or arrested by the police, merely told to leave. Mr. Tallon stated that he had contacted Captain Marsh and was told to hive the neighbors keep calling the police. The neighbors are doing so but are not satisfied with the action the officers are taking when, and if, they answer the call. Asked Mayor Swietyniowski to have the Safety Director look into the situation and see what can be done. Mr. Jim Dufala, 4449 Ranchview_Avenue, stated that the residents on Ranchview, West Ranchview and Timber Cove would like to present a petition to have these streets repaired. Presented the petition. and a picture of the bad condition of the road. Mr. Bi11 Lackey, 5782 Burns Road, addressed the very poor condition of the Community Cabin;. it needs repairs and maintenance very badly. Two years ago, the Community Council submitted a list of recommendations to Council. Nothing was done. Tonight, has again presented these recommendations. There is money for the rewiring; to take care of the ceiling. Why hasn't this been done? This year is the 40th anni- versary of the Cabin and special activities have been planned for Homecoming. Is hopeful that by the end of August, 1985, the building will be repaired, rewired, repainted, etc. so everyone can be proud of it.
