Lorna Sertoli Mrs. Lorna Sertoli, 66 Delaware Ave., Cortland, New York,
Deleware Ave. requested assistance from the Town Board, if possible, to
put a stop to cars being parked in the street near her
residence. Many times she cannot get in or out; of either
driveway at her residence. Both customers and employees
of Gary's Automative are illegally parking their cars there.
A letter of January 31, 1985, widtten by Mrs. Sertoli,
was read, which fully explained the problem.
Gary's Automative has recently purchased a small strip
of land next to Mrs. Sertoli with the intent to park cars
there. Is this permissable? This would need t_o be referred
to the Cortlandville ZBA for their determination.
A discussion followed regarding parking on a public
highway, the zoning requirements of the area and our high-
way department plowing the snow.
Councilman Manning made a motion, seconded by Council-
man Thorpe, to receive and file the letter from Mrs. Sertoli.

Supervisor Nadolski apprised the Town Board that the
repairs at Chairman of the fire department has requested a donation
fire station from the Town Board to fix up or repair a room located at
the fire station. It is now a storage room.
