10/4/83 Page -9- Councilman Cussen Expressed dire concern that it is taking so much time to get this issue resolved. Suggested that the wording of the present ordinances be reviewed to make enforcement of them expediently. He wished to direct the Director of Public Safety and the City Attorney to review the ordinance and see if it needed to be reworded to give it more substance to be enforced, specifically with a vehicle that has been parked on the street for a year. Attorney Rautenstraus advised that if a vehicle has license plates it is normally not con- sidered an abandoned vehicle. Councilman Cussen commented that it was his understanding that the vehicle did not have an engine in it therefore would fit in the disabled category as stated in the ordinance. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT ORDINANCE #808 - LOUISVILLE ASSOCIATES RE-ZONING Councilmembers had a copy of the ordinance as well as information from the State Highway Dept., HOH representatives and staff. Attorney Rautenstraus stated Mayor and council- members had received a letter from the appli- cant requesting that this matter be delayed for first reading at their next council meeting of October 18, 1983. This is staff's recom- mendation also. Councilwoman Morris Inquired why council was addressing this on first reading prior to getting all of the information submitted by November 2nd? Joe French, Attorney Representing Louisville Associates Advised that the dates stated in the letter had emerged after discussion with the City staff. They had a hearing before the Plan- ning Commission and there were some concerns expressed and they wished to get all the information to councilmembers before the study session. He felt that the only other informa- tion would be with the P.U.D. Guidelines and these are being reviewed with staff presently. There were 6 items of concern which would be dealt with and information provided to the councilmembers before the study session. Councilman Leary Commented before the first reading of Ordinance #808 he would like to have a study session with the staff and the representatives of Louisville Associates may be present if they wished; he had several questions he wished answered before first reading as this would be the one presented for the public hearing.
