"Dear Mr. Hamilton, As my council representative has been ineffective and unsuccessful in dealing with this problem, I am calling on your office for help. For over two years the resident of 1316 South Palmer Avenue has been running a used car lot at his house. There are usually no less than six cars parked in front of his house and across the street from his house at any one time. At least one or two usually have no plates. In addition, his yard is a total mess. He doesn't care about the trash that accumulates in it. If this were a problem in Elm Heights, it would have been taken care of in one day. I understand that one can sell a car from one's property, but this man needs to find a lot that is zoned for selling multiple used cars, and move his business to that place. Please help in moving this used car lot from our street. It is an eye sore and it brings down my property value. The rest of the houses in that block, and on Palmer are very well maintained and clean. Thank you very much in advance for your attention to this matter. Best regards, Michael McCafferty"

There is a fence down on the Atwater side of this home. It's a mess in a highly traveled area. Thought I'd send it your way for your staff to address.

I have noticed several unfinished areas along my walking route to downtown. In my neighborhood at the corner of S Dunn St and Wilson there is a large hole with a construction sign lying next to it. In addition the entity left a large oil spill in the gravel leading into the neighborhood green space at that corner.

It is 3321 N Valleyview Dr in Fritz Terrace. I drove by yesterday and it looks like the trash that had been strewn on the front driveway has been moved to the north side of the house and covered with tarp. Maybe someone is working on it : ) but I would like to know what is going on there. thx Doris!! d.

I have lived at 1211 West 11th Street with my daughter for 2 1/2 years. I have called HAND multiple times concerning the house next to me at 1209 West 11th Street. The yard is not mowed on a regular basis with the backyard waist high at present. There are out buildings that are in disrepair with trash throughout the yard. There is also a truck in the backyard that hasn't been moved in 2 1/2 years along with stacks of tires. There are trash bags, mattresses, and other items on the front porch. Multiple windows are boarded up, and there are large holes in the roof. There are Copperheads in the yard.There are many pedestrians in the area and with the snakes present, there is a very real danger. I called animal control last summer and was told they couldn't do anything because it was the snakes' "natural habitat". I greatly appreciate your attention to this matter. Diane Fraker 812-360-7243

There is no yellow paint or other indicator near the intersection so people don't part close to it. As such, turns become tight and difficult, as well as there being an obstructed line of sight because cars are in the way. The request is that there be some measure put in place to prevent parked cars from clogging the intersection.

Stop sign issue. The stops signs on Rogers (intersection with Dodds) are not apparent enough, so people have a tenancy of blowing through the four way intersection. The suggestion is a red reflective strip on the sign pole, or another way of making the stop signs more visible in order to improve safety at the intersection.

Report of graffiti at 1301 Woodhill Dr. There has been a "F--- You" spray painted onto a vacant house, as well as a spray painted phallic object on the street. A stop sign was also marked nearby.

Eric, This complaint was sent to me by email from a councilmember. Can you have Kenny go by and issue a warning? Thanks!
