INQUIRY RE: HOUSE MOVE PERMIT - MARION STREET TO WEST COLFAX- Irene Forbes of Southhold Heritage Foundation was present and inquired about the status of a request for a house move from 314 W. Marion Street to 820 W. Colfax. Mr. Wadzinski, Manager of the Bureau.of Traffic and Lighting, advised the Board that the route originally proposed by the mover was to use Lafayette Street and that street is specifically restricted in the Municipal Code from any house move. Mr. Wadzinski submitted a report to the Board on October 11 suggesting an alternate route and stipulating some conditions regarding the move. The report was accepted by the Board and transmitted to the house mover. Mrs. Forbes said the mover has indicated he would be willing to move the house at night or on Sunday if it would help. Mr. Brunner noted that the Municipal Code specifically excludes the use of Lafayette, Main and Michigan Streets, from LaSalle to South, in any house move. He said to grant approval of use of these streets would be a violation of the code. PTr. Brunner said amendments to the Code could be proposed but that would not solve the immediate problem. He recommended that the mover investigate alternate routes and check them with the Bureau of Traffic and Light- ing. It was suggested that the move might be made down Williams to LaSalle to the innerbelt. Mr. Brunner indicated that the Board could consider using an intersection on LaSalle Street for the move. Mr. Farrand advised Mrs. Forbes to have the house mover contact Mr. Wadzinski to work out an acceptable route. APPROVAL GIVEN FOR SALE OF 413 E.
