McMow Art Glass owners ask city for help with alley blight, abandoned cars and trash
Summary
Shanon and Phil Materio, owners of McMow Art Glass, told the board they face persistent alley blight behind their business—abandoned cars, illegal repairs, trash and people camping—and asked for a plan for Dixie Highway and help from the city and Business Advisory Board.
Shanon and Phil Materio, owners of McMow Art Glass, used the public-comment period to describe chronic problems behind their storefront: illegal car repairs in the alley, abandoned vehicles, trash (including discarded toilet bowls) and people camping in adjacent parking lots.
They asked the board and city staff for a plan to address conditions on Dixie Highway and help to make the alley and block safe and commercially viable. Board members and staff acknowledged the complaints and discussed coordinating code enforcement and CRA marketing support; no immediate enforcement action or timeline was recorded in the minutes.
The Materios asked for both enforcement and cleanup assistance and for the city to consider targeted interventions to improve business conditions on the block.
