how a complaint would be brought to the Council? He did feel person should know who files a complaint. Mr. Carter also sug- gested that the phrase 'adequately screened' be more clearly defined. In conclusion, Mr. Carter stated he was using his prop- erty for agricultural purposes and he would like to see farm equipment excluded from the ordinance. Mr. Paul Borg, 13452 Carillo Lane and Mr. Al Janklow, 13464 Carillo Lane, each compli- mented the Town on the proposed ordinance and noted they sup- ported it. Dr. Rubin, 25800 Vinedo Lane, commented that the fol- lowing terms were not clearly defined: 'view or visible', 'unsightly' and 'unused'. Sherri Emling, 11853 Murietta, noted her support of the ordinance and also commented that she sup- ported having the residents pay for the charges involved in abat- ing the nuisance. Marc Kaufman, 14100 Donelson, asked what would happen if a resident happened to be away for 2-3 months and com- plaints were received concerning his property. Mr. John Het- tinger, 12372 Priscilla, suggested the ordinance cover all vehicles, not just recreational ones. Mr. Paul Smith, attorney representing Mr. John Gilfoil, suggested that this ordinance should more appropriately be in the zoning part of the code rath- er than the health and safety section. He further commented that, in his opinion, several sections of the proposed ordinance were vague (who has responsibility to determine screening? 'unreasonable period of time'?) The City Attorney noted that the ordinance provided for a notice g and hearing process. It would be necessary for someone to file a complaint to start the process and to prove that it was a nuisance. The purpose of the ordinance was to allow the Town to abate the nuisance, if determined to be necessary after the ad- ministrative and public hearing steps had been taken. Dronkert noted that people should be courteous and the fact that they weren't is why the ordinance was being considered at all. Tryon commented that administrative policies will be developed, the Council can determine a policy statement and guidelines and the ordinance can be amended at a later date, if necessary.

ADJOURNMENT: There being no further new or old business to discuss, the City Council adjourned at 5:30 p.m. V -2- Respectfully submitted, Patricia Dowd, City Clerk
