Attorney Hofert reported the-filing of a lawsuit by a person Court Case -
known as Nelson againstthe village. Said suit requires issuance of Nelson
building permit to construct residence which would have separate
quarters for mother-ln-law. It appeared that Mr. Nelson secured a
building permit for a house which showed from the plan to have two
separate units, one for the owner and one for another party; that the
Building Department issued the permit onthe ground that this building
was essentially a single family residence since the mother-ln-law was
to occupy it. Subsequently the Building Department was alert to the
possible danger that this building would be used as a rental type,
whereupon the department issued a stop order; however, this did not
occur until after the building was substantially erected. Mr. Hofert
then stated that the attorney for the Nelsons agreed to a limited use of
the building for the mother-in-law and agreed that covenant be drawn up
so as to prevent its use for rental purposes outside of the family.
Mr. Hofert recommended settlement and authority to consent to a court
decree which would accomplish this.
Trustee Bickley, seconded by Trustee Casterline, moved that authority
be given the Village Attorney to enter into covenant decree.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Bickley Bruhl Casterline Gaw Phillips.
