I Open Forum
Fred Calev, 2516 Rush Mendon Road, expressed his concern on the property adjacent to his home that he feels is being operated as an excavation company and not as a nursery. There is the sale of soil, burning of materials, noise of heavy equipment and vibrations that he contends are knocking things off the walls of his home. He is concerned that damage will be done to his home. He played a tape of what he described as a bull dozer working within 50 feet of his home daily from 7 am, including weekends. He requested that the operation be shut down. Councilman Knab questioned Mr. Calev about the purpose of his black powder magazine that he maintains on his property and the reply was that Mr. Calev is developing safer experimental works or special effects. Only minor testing is done on his property at this time. Supervisor Udicious stated that the situation would be investigated and Mr. Calev will be informed of the results of that investigation.
