Report revised from 6/22 Illegal Dumping in Drainage Easement and Common Conservation areas in Gentry South- Course construction sand (over 100 square feet and up to 10" deep) plus tree brush and other mulched woody material, large insect ridden sawed cut logs (including 47" logs), small rock and trash items have been dumped into the drainage easement area behind my house (nearest the back property line). The area that serves to hold flood water is being filled in, invasives are taking hold where the sand is, and the large debris is damaging trees. I know the area was free from this for at least 6 years prior, even during record water flow. The first occurrence was in early April 2020 and happened again the next year during early April 2021. These dumps are sudden. It was free of more sand at the end of March. Then, a week later there was suddenly a large dump of sand again. I was quoted $4,000 to remove the first dump of sand. The first sand dump is not easily seen from Google maps. Additionally, someone has dumped what looks like yard mulch/waste twice in this neighborhood’s Common Area/Conservation Easement. I have some idea regarding how this is happening but will not put this information on a public report.

Drove to IU Foundation the other day. Great effective speed dips instead of bumps. Little less obtrusive. Could we get these on E Morningside of Park Ridge East when Greenway goes in. Or is there a map of the Greenway design? Thanks!

What a moronic missed opportunity. The city is rebuilding???!!! The crosswalk that does not! Work for students or cars on 10th by the library. Why?! We studied this last semester and EVERY student and the professor agreed it does not function as it should. Is a signal being added at least for crossing?

228 N. Sheffield has had a commercial trash container (big metal bin) in front driveway for what seems like years now. Surely this has to get removed at some point? It's industrial and the size of a driveway.

Next week the Roger's School will start. The school, since August of 2021, has instructed parents to drop off and pick up students to and from the parents' vehicles by using the 1st St entrance off S High St to the Faculty and Staff parking area. This is a drive-through use which is not allowed in the MI zone. Variance V-17-14 addressed this issue stating that the central area to the east of Rogers School was to be used for student drop off and pick up and that the west parking area was to be used by only the Faculty and Staff. This was clearing stated in both the Planning Staff report and testimony as well as the MCCSC representatives' letters and under oath testimony. This restriction of no student drop off and pickup in the west parking area was a continuation of the policy that MCCSC agreed to with the City several years earlier. The west parking area has a gate and signs that limit access to Faculty and Staff only. In August of 2021, MCCSC and Roger's School started to allow student drop off and pickup in the west parking area has a Covid related safety issues. The Roger's Principal stated that this drop off and pickup policy would be temporary. The Covid issue is no longer relevant but the drop off and pickup continues. As a result, at the school start and end times, S High St is often backed up to the 2nd and Maxwell Streets intersections. E 1st street is backed up past Clifton and the driveways on 1st Street are blocked. I ask the City to enforce the UDO and the variance statements. Student drop off and pickup by parents in vehicles should be restricted to the central area only. This was the plan as stated by the City and MCCSC and is consistent with not allowing drive-throughs in the MI zone.

Ginormous patch of invasive knotweed growing on roadside on S Patterson between Allen and Second Street. It's even growing between the road and the bridge. Knotweed is a curse, much much worse than wintercreeper, multi-flora rose, garlic mustard, or bradford pear. Next thing, it'll be all over the banks of our creeks, lakes, and wetlands and we won't be able to do a damned thing about it. And breaking the roadway and bridge.

Please don't lose to the myths being put out about duplexes in town. Core neighborhoods are core for a reason - that is where individuals can be good for the environment and their pocketbooks by having shorter commutes. Plexes also save residents money on utilities. Both are housing costs too. And the notion that single family homes are somehow cheaper than plexes is backwards. Homes in poor condition may be cheap but square foot for square foot of the same quality plexes will always win out. So many other myths too. Keep doing what you need to in order to build smart for our future.

Are there any codes or ordinances about what you can build in your backyard in a subdivision? If so, does the attached photo of said eyesore illegally fall under any municipal codes?
