There are items/issues that are approved by the City Manager that neither the Board nor the Planning Commission would see or review because they are deemed to be not major changes. A change of a person wanting to have a window that overlooks their backyard is not a major change and they cannot administrate line of site, no one owns the “air” above the fence. Mayor Sanger expressed that he is sympathetic and is very sorry that the neighbors do not get along, there is a history of the issues and he will not go into who is right or who is wrong. What is before the Board tonight is to make a determination as to whether the window that was approved administratively was appropriate or not. Ms. Hoffman commented on the property violation notice that they recently received with regard to their home and that she has spoken with Susan Istenes. She asks that the neighbors stop the issue of “tit-for-tat” which is wrong and upsetting and no one needs the stress. Mayor Sanger stated that it is typical in the community that requests for property inspections are received from neighbors which is not an unusual circumstance. He noted that Ms. Istenes would not enforce the violation until the weather is cooperative. Ms. Hoffman confirmed that she has already spoken with Ms. Istenes. Ms. Hoffman thanked the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.

In response to Alderman Mayor’s question regarding the design buildout of 10 S. Brentwood Boulevard, City Manager Owens stated that a request for proposals has been created and is moving forward. In response to Alderman Berkowitz’s question with regard to the restructuring of the courts as required by the State Statutes, City Manager Owens stated that staff had a meeting with the city attorney, judge, and prosecuting attorney and reviewed the items that needed to be addressed and performed a self-evaluation of compliance. Everyone agreed that the City is in compliance on a majority of the issues and issues that need to be updated they will send a plan and letter from Judge Dulle to the supervising judge stating how the City will gain compliance. In response to Mayor Sanger’s question regarding the bike path presentation, Alderman Boulton stated that she would like to review the old bike plan and see if there is any low cost items that can be implemented (i.e. bike marking, wayfinding) especially as it relates to the Brentwood Boulevard resurfacing. She felt that the presentation was a good idea in order for the Board to become more educated. She feels it would be worth it to become part of a larger regional bike sharing plan.
