INVITATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT/QUESTIONS
Mayor Mang asked if any one wished to be heard.
John Skubis of 359 Tremont Avenue states he has some serious problems and has tried to resolve them through the proper channels and his patience has been exhausted with the Building Department. The neighbors have a 35’ house trailer parked in the driveway and it blocks the west side of Mr. Skubis’ house, which is the total length of his house. A few years ago a violation letter was sent from Building Inspector Douglas Randall and the trailer was moved temporarily. Now it is back again. The neighbor was summoned to court last year. The Judge said he could not park the trailer there anymore. This year the trailer was back in an illegal spot. Mr. Skubis said he has not gotten reply from Mr. Randall and was told “he was being unreasonable”. Mr. Randall said he would notify the neighbors and they could apply for a zoning variance. The Board should not allow this blatant abuse. Mr. Skubis is worried about flammable products in the trailer. He holds the Village of Kenmore responsible if anything goes wrong.
Mayor Mang said they would speak to all parties involved and find a resolution to the problem.
As no one else wished to speak, the meeting was adjourned.
The next meeting of the Board of Trustees will be October 7, 2008 at 8:00 p.m. at the Municipal Building.
