Council to press American Legion on unpaved parking area after complaints
Summary
Council members discussed that the Legion's lot is being used for parking despite not being surfaced; they agreed to contact the Legion executive board and commander Dwayne Walter to seek a plan and timeline before spring and flagged possible enforcement if no action is taken.
Council members brought up the American Legion parking area during other business, noting the lot is unpaved but in active use and that prior notices about required impervious surfacing have been sent.
A council member said enforcement could follow if the site continues to be used as a parking lot without meeting impervious-surface requirements: "If nothing is done, then there could be enforcement at some point," the council member said. The council discussed outreach to the Legion executive board and recommended contacting Commander Dwayne Walter to set a meeting and develop a timeline before spring.
The mayor and at least one council member volunteered to participate in outreach. A council member confirmed willingness to join the meeting: "I'll be there," the council member said when asked who would attend. The group agreed staff should initiate contact and that a meeting with the Legion's executive board would be an appropriate next step before considering enforcement.
No enforcement action was taken at the meeting; the council's next step is to arrange the suggested meeting and report back with a plan.
