The boxcars were permitted to be brought onto the property back in the early 1980's conditioned upon Mr. Earl Ellis putting appropriate foundations underneath them and ptting siding on the boxcars so as to prevent a "nuisance." Those requirements never were enforced, or enforceable, in light of the substantial legal difficulties that Mr. Ellis subsequently encountered.

Mr. Sample, 333 Briscoe Rd. was present, stated if the City required him to pour cement ~at~the foundation support points of each of the boxcars, it would hinder him, if he decided to move the boxcars out~' Cary Campbell said the code requires the structures to be supported, rather Mr. Sample is planning to move the boxcars in the future or not. Mrs. Sample asked, will all four boxcars be required to be moved if the land is subdivided. Mayor Cotant suggested two be removed, with the other two, b~ing brought to look like the area.

The following requirements will have to be met: 1) Structurhl Engineer will have to provide Cary Campbell appropriate documentation showing the foundation support points of each of the boxcars. 2) The roof has to be sound. 3) Siding will be required on the ends. If the area is subdivided, there will have to be uniform siding around the boxcars. Discussion about what siding would be acceptable. Attorney Howard Burnett and Mr. Sample's Attorney Ron Jarman will discuss and come up with an acceptable siding requirement. 111 AGREEMENT - DON SAMPLE'S BOXCARS AT 333 BRISCOE - (Cont.)
