Page 2 '--- A general discussion followed concerning the needs of the Board. Mr. Kingen was asked to prepare a written proposal to be submitted to the Plan Commission for its consideration. The proposal is to include the contemplated work that would be done by the consultant and a statement as to the estimated fee. Mr. Kingen was given supporting documents consisting of the zoning ordinance, the sub- division control ordinance, and a map of the proposed buffer zone. The Board is to expect receipt of his written reply at the next monthly meeting. Interested citizens appeared before the Board in regards to the use of the property at 224 West High Street. The Board advised the interested property owners that a letter had been sent to the Lessee of the property on June 6, 1978, advising him that the proposed use of the property would not comply with the zoning ordinance. The neighbors again voiced their concern that the property was not being properly used in accordance with the zoning classification. The evidence that they had to offer was that there seemed to be a substantial amount of activity at the home. Mr. Steven Harris, Attorney, who was present on other matters at the meeting, indicated that he represented the property owner of this property, Pearl Meyer. At the request of the Board, Mr. Harris is going to discuss the use of the property with the property owner. Mr. Harris indicated he felt that the Lessee was surrendering the property to his client and that the matter has been or will shortly be resolved. The Board requested Mr. Lawson to write a letter to Attorney Harris requesting that he discuss this with his client and reply to the Board in writing. The President of the Board noted that Board Member, Warren Grubb, Jr. had not attended several of the last Board meetings. Mr. Tilford Bailey was requested to discuss Mr. Grubb's absence from the Board meetings to determine whether or not a personal conflict has devel- oped in his schedule wherein he cannot be present. Mr. Lawson indicated that in accordance with the prior Minutes of the Board's meeting, he had directed a letter to property owner, James Rippy. Mr. Lawson read to the Board a reply which had been received from Attorney Ralph Lett, who represents the interests of James Rippy in the alleged violation. Based upon this letter, the matter concerning the alleged violation at the residence of James Rippy is being tabled unless further complaints are received. Attorney Lawson was requested by the Board to indicate this in a letter form to Attorney Lett. The next matter of business was concerning the violation letter which had been sent to property owner, Marvin Bain, by Attorney Lawson.
