Railroad Right-of-Way. In the letter it explained that several complaints have been received by both Town Council and administration, about the noise, dust and unsightly appearance of these areas. The Village Attorney told Council that the Building Official, the Village Manager and himself investigated and surveyed the areas that the complaint had been received about end they found that the complaints were wellfounded. They found pratices of dumping and storing of sand, dirt, gravel, rocks and boulders and other materials outside. The Village Attorney explained that although there are certain activities that go on against the Zoning Ordinance, he was not sure it would be practical from a standpoint of enforcement of addressing this problem by way of the Zoning Ordinance. In his opinion the best way to approach the problem is to adopt a new Ordinance which would prohibit the outdoor dumping and storage of materials such as sand, gravel, dirt, rocks and boulders. There could be exceptions made only for necessary building construction activities. Council instructed the Village Manager to set up a Workshop Meeting with Rinker Materials Corp., and the Village Council to possibly discuss this situation and to make an • on site inspection of the area. Mr. Robert Moore, Country Club Drive, asked the Council to have the noise of the trucks travelling down Country Club Drive looked into for possible violation of the noise level ordinance.
