<br />APPROVE TEMPORARY MOBILE OFFICES (PENNY SAVER AND MEDOW LEASING
<br />Mr. Leszczynski stated that two requests for the use of temporary
<br />mobile offices had been submitted for Board approval. He noted
<br />that the Penny Saver Weekly Newspaper, 2102 South Michigan
<br />Street, was requesting the use of a 12' x 60' mobile office
<br />next to the existing building while repair work was being done
<br />to the existing structure. It was anticipated that the remodel-
<br />ing project would take six to nine months to complete. Mr.
<br />Leszczynski stated that electric heat and air conditioning would
<br />be provided within the mobile office.
<br />Mr. Ronn Medow, Medow Leasing Company, was requesting an
<br />extension for continued use of his temporary office on the lot
<br />at 221 West LaSalle to September 30, 1982, because of the economy
<br />and his not being able to spend the money needed to make the
<br />building a permanent structure including underground wiring.
<br />It was noted that the Board had approved the original request
<br />last year commencing August 1, 1981, through April 15, 1982.
<br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting
<br />had no objections to the above temporary offices, and a review
<br />of the requests had also been conducted by the Building Department.
<br />Although not objecting to the extension for Medow Leasing Company,
<br />Mr. James Markle, Building Commissioner, questioned the difficulty
<br />of enforcing the building code if the mobile office was allowed
<br />to remain for an additional period. After due consideration,
<br />upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Kernan
<br />and carried, the request of the Penny Saver for a temporary
<br />mobile office through December, 1982, and the extension of the
<br />mobile office building at Medow Leasing through September 30,
<br />1982, were approved and referred to the Building Department for
<br />the issuance of the appropriate permits.
