Mr. Cameron was given the floor and he explained the situation
in sequence as to how things happened. He stated that when
application was made by hdm he was unaware of any new Ordinance
being drawn up. He stated that he is not happy at all about
the rumors going around. He stated that Mr. Ca1 Dietz advised

having this ~etter written.
Councilman Dietz at this time stated that he told Mr. Cameron
that he would have to pay that, he stated that he came down
to the City Hall and listened with Mr. Cameron to the tapes
to check out the time e1iment on this. Mr. Dietz stated that
he told Mr. Cameron that if he didn't think he had to pay it
he should go check it.
Mayor Severance called for the Council's pleasure on the question
of the Ordinance which was previously. ~
Councilman Sikes made a motion to adopt the Ordinance as read,
being seconded by Councilman Lodico.
Mr. Hamel was given the floor; he questioned if the Council
recognizes the fact that he applied before the reading of this
Ordinance for a water and sewer connection to his property,
and that his check was returned.
Mayor Severance stated, that yes and Mr. Hamel's check was
returned to him because his property has not been zoned yet.
There was discussion about Mr. Cameron's property being zoned
as MH-l beforehe applied for water and sewer.
Councilman Dietz stated that it is the opinion of theZoning
and Planning Board that Mr. Hamel's property automatically
falls into the category of mobile home parks, so how is it
that he is not zoned? He stated that this is going back to
the old Ordinance again.
Mayor Severance stated that it is a matter of putting the
zoning on record which has not been done yet. If it was
back under the old Ordinance Mr. Hamel would have zero zoning
because he wasn't annexed into the city.
Mayor Severance stated that he feels that the City Attorney
should handle any discussion on this matter.
Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. Councilman Cairnie
and Councilman Dietz both voting NO.

At this time Councilman Dietz stated to Councilman Lodico
that on one hand he has agreed to give away $50,000.00 or
better and here you are increasing these people's rates.
At this time there was much discussion and confusion.
There were statements from the audience to the effect that
why should people pay for the water when they don't use it.
Mayor Severance stated that the City cannot become involved
in a dispute even though he has sympathy for those people who
have complained. A dispute between a mobile home park resi-
dent and a park owner is a civil matter. The existing Ordin-
ance has established the opportunity for people of the City
of Edgewater who are leaving the area to have their utilities
cut off. If a mobile home park owner does not rebate the
resident who leaves the area that is a matter between the
park resident and the park owner.
Councilman Sikes stated that he thought it was understood that
if a mobile home resident was leaving, he could come into the
City Hall and have this recorded and thepark owner's bill will
be adjusted to this effect. Whether the park resident is
credited for this is between thepark resident and the park
owner.
Upon roll call ovte said motion CARRIED. Councilman Cairnie
and Councilman Dietz voting NO.
Councilman Dietz asked for a Public Hearing on the second
reading of this Ordinance because this is a rate increase.
Councilman Sikes stated that he thought out attorney advised
that a Public Hearing would not be required.
Councilman Dietz stated that we would get another attorney's
opinion.
Mayor Severance explained that City Attorney Weaver's opinion
was that a Public Hearing was not required in regard to this
matter, hbwever if the City Council wi~hed to have a Public
Hearing, it could be done prdpr to the second reading of the
Ordinance.
Mayor Severance stated that he feels that there are still some
questions that need to be answered and that is the only reason
that he voted yes on this partiou1ar reading.
Councilman Sikes stated that he seconded the motion for the
punpose of getting into a discussion on the matter.
Councilman Dietz made a motion that we have a Public Hearing
prdor to the second reading of this Ordinance on February 13,
1975 at 7:00 P.M., being seconded by Councilman Cairnie.
Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED.

this. Mr. Hamel asked why this is being brought up at this
time.
Mayor Severance explained that a number of people in Edgewater
who are truck drivers and have resided here for several years
have made certain complaints.
These vehicles are also their transportation home and they
are not allowed to park them in their driveways without
some provision made in the Ordinance. This Ordinance will
apply for the entire City,and a permit can only be obtained
for 72 hours out of a month.
The question was brought up about what happens if a man who
drives a large truck like this is out of work for ten days
or soo.

the residential property for the 72 hours with a permit.
