Scott Richards and I met with a representative Manley Development Corp. to discuss the
possibility of a small retail development at the vacant lot adjacent to Jerry's Auto Body, as
now owned by P. Houser. The parcel is zoned B-4. It is unknown if a development is going
to be immediately proposed.
The City has received adequate documentation from the Lowe's contractor that will correct
the now installed fencing surrounding the large pond. Essentially, their fencing in installed
onto the City's right of way and will be damaged by snow plowing. They have been required
to relocate it not less than three feet from the ROW. They are also required to pay for the
required permit.
The City has received a letter from Mr. Gabriel Boullt of 5633 Ozark Ave discussing
possible options/update to the City Winter Parking Ordinance. Please take a moment to
review the letter. 1 will place this item on the next work session agenda. I have also
enclosed a copy of the City Ordinance 1101.03 for your reference.
The City has notified Tire Proz, locate on the south frontage road regarding continual
signage issues. See memo from Julie Hultman.

early next week that complies with the request.
