February 21, 19H5 To the Residents of Crystal Hay Road, The petition distributed by Mr. Carl and Mr. Siakel points out that "a great deal of equiptment (boats, snowmobiles, docks, etc.) is accumulated by (a few) residents" and is Indeed stured in frer+t yards. But, to amend the ordinance is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY AND t1AY PROVE TO BE 111GIeLY DETRIMENTAL. TO OUR CO111UNIT'Y. You already know that the city ordinance, as it is, does allow for variances where residents have an ACTUAL 11;RD5HIP. History has proven that the city is not blindly and strictly enforcing this storage ordinance. They normally only get involved upon a specific complaint. Where there are .inaccessable back yards, I am in agreement with the general intent of this petition BUT, LET'S NOT OPEN THE FLOOD GATES. Let's all con- tinue to work toward a clean neighborhood ---- FOR EVERYONE. If a resident has an ACCESSABLE back yard; HE SHOULD USS IT. Even now a few people dump "items" in their front yards for all to look at even though they have accessable back yards. Sheer inconvenience should not :re an excuse for anyone to encourage the decay of our neighborhoods appearance. In any case, should a person with an inaccessable back yard be allowed the uncontrolled storage of as much miscellaneous "stuff" In his FRura yard as he may want? As this can poteirtially get out of hand, WE MUST 11AVE CONTROLS. Our present ordinance does serve that purpose while still considering true hard- ship cases. If you still fee' tAat you want our cur- rent protections weakened, PLEASE., Af LEAST, AMEND THIS PETITION mro RE YOU MAIL IT. Reflect your honest concerti for our neighborhoods appearance by adding a footnote stating that "IF A PERSON HAS AN ACCESSABLE LACK YARD, HE SHOULD USE IT"1 Si core i �rs,� Je r �W eeler 33 C ystal Bay Rd.
