parked alongside the subject site on the 8th Street ROW. Mr. Orr, Co. Traffic Engineer, and Mr Walker, of the Code Enforcemtnt Board are familiar with a portion of this continuing problem. If this warehouse is allowed it will not only create a more serious safety hazard but parking provisions of Section 24 will not be met! An additional safety hazard exists regarding this property. There presently exists an approx. 90 foot communications tower on this site. This tower is in violation of the Building Codes, I believe, inasmuch as it is not set back enough to prevent injury to passers-by in the event of failure. The guy wires supporting this tower also appear to be in violation. Section 23 also requires provision for on-site percolation. There appears to be no provision for this. Mr. Hiers has been, to put it mildly, a very poor neighbor. He has allowed his employees to dump numerous tons of land clearing debris and tree trunks on the property immediately to the North of his property without the property owners permission. This property looks like a "junk yard" most of the time and I think that some of the provisions regarding junk yard fencing would be a big help. I have resided at my present address for fifteen years and have witnessed previous businesses operated from this site in a business like manner. However the most appropriate description for the present appearance of the property would be "junk yard". I request that you apply the rule of reason, as well as the Ordinances to this unique situation and disallow the proposed improvements consisting of the 7,500 sq. ft. warehouse. Lastly, I request that you review the present Zoning of M-1 Industrial and, if possible, upgrade the Zoning to something more in keeping with the established residential character of the neighborhood. Respectfully yours, Robert E. Fleckenstein 59 JUL 10 1985 BOOK 1 P ,F 471
