MAPLE STREET PROPERTY-
City Attorney Merkley spoke about the Maple Street property owned by Mr. Allen that was
demolished by the City in 1999 or 2000. A lien was never placed on the property for the cost
of demolishing the structure. In his opinion, since the City did not place the lien during the
two-year statute oflimitation he recommends that the Board of Public Works send a letter to
Mr. Allen stating that the City does not intend to file a lien on the property because the statute
of limitation has expired. Councilperson McCauley made the motion to approve City
Attorney Merkley sending a letter to Mr. Allen stating that no lien will be placed on the
property, seconded by Engineer Miller and carried unanimously.
DRIVEWAY AT 2115 ALLISON LANE-
Property owner Bernie Harris came before the Board in regard to motorists on Allison Lane
driving onto his driveway as they pass vehicles that are turning into the apartments. He said
they are doing damage to his driveway and when it rains is doing damage to his yard as well.
He would like something done about this. Mayor Waiz said he would meet with Mr. Harris
at the site to try finding a solution to this problem.
