Public Forum:
Teresa Maschinot, 345 Christina Way;
owner challenges the city council to go back and look at the
property they are wanting to sale on Eagle Court. There are
semi trucks, trailers, camper, its just a mess along with loud
noises.( Passed pictures around) Hard to keep windows open.
The homes on Christina Way range around $200,000 and are about
a football length field from the property. The mound is not
that big and there are hardly no trees in the area for sound
barriers. Mayor Ellender stated we can not refuse to sell
the property to the people but can insist that they need to
keep the upgrades per other ordinances. They will need to do
some screening which will include trees for buffering. Their
submittal will be going to the Planning Commission for
approval and they need to show their screening plan at that
time.
Council Reports:
Mrs. Long: Thanked the Fire Department
for their demonstration on Saturday’s work session. Renews the
appreciation for what they do.
Mr. Winkler: Person contacted him in
regards to taking her grandchildren over to Roscoe Roof Park
and the children’s playground was locked up. Mrs. Branson
stated the one gate is supposed to always be locked due to the
children swinging on the gate and breaking it. The other side
is open to the children it is the gate towards the walking
path.
Mrs. Thompson: Warren County Food Drive
from November 15-06 to January 31, 2007 to be filled with
food. Encourage all residents to help fill the barrels with
can foods, juices, non perishables. All cities and townships
are participating. United Way is handling this. Schools are
not involved. They have contacted all the Churches, Lions
Club.
Mrs. Branson: Park Board will be having
their Christmas Tree Lighting Service on December 4th
at 7PM, with songs, Santa, hot chocolate and cookies at the
church. December 9th the Park Board and Lions Club
will be sponsoring their Santa Breakfast, call for
reservations.
Mr. Humphries: Regarding the manhole
covers, there are others besides the one at the Flower Cart.
Mr. Townsend stated he was aware of two on Central Avenue from
Phase 5, not so much the risers but the man hole lid. Mr.
Humphries congratulated the band on their accomplishments.
Also the Carlisle Education Channel will meet at the hours of
3,5,7,9 PM.
Mayor’s Request Report: Attended
the Quiet Zone for Railroad in Loveland. Looking at the CSX
line. If the city looks at doing this we would have to modify
the crossing so that cars can not go around the tracks. A
medium median which would go between the lanes and deter
traffic from crossing or turning around would be in placed.
Could also have four quad gates which no cars could enter for
going around the tracks. This would cost $300-500,000 to
repair all the crossings. Could also place horns that face
down the tracks when the gates are down.
Committee Reports: Mr. Humphries,
Chairman for the Safety Committee reported that the committee
would like to recommend to the council to amend the Chapter
860 Peddler and Street Vendors to omit 6pm and add dark of any
day. Will be on the next agenda for the 2nd
reading.
