The nuisance is abated and the matter resolved.  
No one appeared  
Moermond: they had an extension to March 10th to clean up the backyard including  
appliances. The only exception was allowing for the gardening cold frames stored  
outside. Mr. Kedrowski went by after the last hearing and talked to the owner and  
double checked a couple days ago and found the property in compliance and  
indicated that to the property owner. His only recommendation was to store things  
differently next year to make sure there is no confusion  
Supervisor Kedrowski: I asked the glass panes and plywood for covering them be  
stored inside since outside it looks like scrap lumber.  
Moermond: we will call him since the Council Public Hearing is tomorrow and let him  
know the matter is resolved.
