A copy of a letter dated 21 July, 1980 from Lawrence E. Schauder, President of the South Central Wisconsin Builders Association, Inc. listing and expressing the concerns on eight points covered in the proposed ordinance was presented. City Attorney Hoesly said that their first four concerns in Section "A" are in existance in our City Ordinances and Section "B" is provided for in State Statutes. Mr. George Marks appearing as a private party opposed the proposed ordinance, expressed concern that the city is acting on one specific problem and enacting an ordinance concerned with a safety aspect, he questioned if the City could work on the problem under the nuisance ordinanc( and'not introduce a new ordinance that could cause some builders problems. Councilmember Masterson said he would like the letter from Mr. Schauder included in the minutes of the meeting.(Note: copy of letter attached to Ordinance for reference) Councilmember Miles made a motion to adopt said ordinance. Motion seconded by Councilmember Bolton. After discussion, Councilmember Miles made a motion to amend the ordinance under "C" as item 5, "In case weather or other factors beyond the builders control may occur. At the desires of the Building Department a thirty, sixty, or ninety day extension may be approved". Motion seconded by Councilmember Bolton. City Attorney Hoesly recommended that the amendment be at the end of "B" and read; "The Building Inspector in his discretion may extend the time period for thirty, sixty or ninety days. If in his opinion weather or other uncontrollable circumstances have unduly delayed the building upon the excavation". Councilmember Miles and Councilmember Bolton agreed to the change.
