Council Minutes of 6/15/2084 ground any time esthetics are relied on alone. It's better to have another good governmental reason for legislation. So, if our city were to venture into the areas of looking at colors of residential structures or quality of paint job, he would counsel the City Council to have some studies conducted and make sure that there is a clear connection between what is proposed legislatively and the blight that is causing concern. If need be, he will look at what other communities are doing and study it and then advise the City Council what to do legislatively. At this point, as long as the person is cleaning up a condition of peeling paint, the choice of color is pretty much the homeowners. Mr. 7ablonski again stated his opinion that the city needs a proactive code enforcement inspector. Councilman Dailey ageed that the present complaint system can cause problems for neighbors. He suggested that perhaps this particular situation can be resolved through use of conflict resolution and suggested that Don Copeland be contacted for help. Don Pangrac, 23470 Sharon Drive, suggested Hilton Head, South Carolina, as a resource area for sample buildings codes. That city has laws restricting the heights of homes and businesses to two stories and the color of buildings to earth tones.
