She stated that this use is prohibited in the deed restrictions; the area is zoned residential; she has reported this numerous times to the building division; the City issued a warning to stop the business within 10 days; this has not been done; and she would like something done. Ms. Henderson provided the Council with photographs of the property in question. Mr. Hal George, City Attorney, stated that the usual procedure in such cases is that a zoning inspector would issue a citation and if compliance is not met, the property owner would be prosecuted in Municipal Court. He stated that, unfortunately, this is a time consuming process. Mayor Jones requested that staff investigate this and report to the Council. Mrs. Rosalie Hoskins, 718 Avondale, spoke in support of Ms. Henderson, and referred to the traffic hazard that is caused by the large number of cars located on the property. .,inutes Regular Council Meeting July 1, 1986 Page 12 Mr. Kirby Redlin, Assistant to the City Manager, stated that the property owner has been notified he is in violation; he moves the cars during the week; but brings them back on the weekend.

Mr. Carroll Vermillion, 4430 Cornelia Circle North, stated that he has spoken with the property owner, but to no avail.

Mrs. Blanche De Los Santos, 201 Norton, referred to the need in Vanderbilt Park for more playground equipment. Mayor Jones asked for a report on Vanderbilt Park. Mr. Dopson stated that he has been working with the community in regard to this park and he will arrange another meeting with the neighborhood group. Mrs. Jean Keys, representing the Coastal Bend Genealogical Society, stated that she is concerned about the closing of the history room at the library. She stated that the room is only open for 4} hours on the weekend. She stated that she knows this is a budgetary matter and urged the Council to approve an increase of staff at the library. Mayor Jones stated that this was discussed during the workshop meeting, and the Council will receive a report from the staff. In response to a question from Council Member Slavik, Mrs. Keys stated that her organization is taking a survey to determine the hours of operation that are preferred at the library in the history room. Assistant City Manager Utter stated that one of the reasons for the cut back was that the lowest useage of the library is on Friday and Saturday mornings. He stated that the staff is performing a survey to determine what days and hours the library should be open. He stated that they do want to make all sections of the library available as much as possible. ..-.,utes Regular Council Meeting July 1, 1986 Page 13 Mr. Charlie Nichols, 1547 Lea Lane, urged the Council to pursue the building of an arena.
