JEFFERSON Eli Miller, Director of the Chamber of Commerce, submitted a request to the Board to erect a canopy over the public sidewalk at 230 W. Jefferson, the new home of the Chamber of Commerce. John DeLee, Building Coomissioner, and Ralph Wadzinski, Manager of the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting, reviewed the request and the drawing submitted. It was recommended that there should be seven -foot head room below the hanging portion of the canopy, Mr. McMahon said this would be an encroachment on the public right-of-way and it is for that reason that the matter is before the Board of Public Works. TTr. Wadzinski was present and said the canopy would become the entrance to the building and parking might have to be removed in the area of the canopy to provide a passenger and loading zone. Some meters in the area night have to be relocated. Mr. McMahon asked ifthe meters could be relocated in front of the Indiana Club and Mr. Wadzinski said this was a possibility if that building is vacated. Mr. McMahon made a motion that the request of the Chamber of Commerce to erect a canopy over the public sidewalk at 230 W. Jefferson be approved, subject to the Chamber of Commerce meeting the requirements of the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting and the Bureau of Buildings and Permits and to the filing of a Certificate of Insurance which would hold the City harmless in any liability action. Mr. Brunner seconded the motion and it carried. Mr. Brunner asked Mr. Wadzinski how this request differed from the request of the Sheraton Motor Inn -which was denied last year. Mr. Wadzinski explained that the Sheraton request was for an encroachment on the right-of-way of the Indiana State Highway Commission and they will not permit any encroachments so they denied the request. This location for the Chamber of Commerce is on City right-of-way and the City has jurisdiction.
