Mullen ATTEST: s/ Patricia DeClercq, Clerk FILING OF CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING HOUSE MOVE FROM OLIVE STREET TO LOCUST ROAD - MOVE APPROVED Mr. McMahon noted the Board had been advised of a situation which occurred when Lykowski House Movers moved a house on Olive Street on November 26 without a permit and without notification to any City departments. A police report was filed with the Board indicated that the house was stuck on Olive Street causing a traffic problem and that there were no permits issued for the move. James Lykowski was present and submitted a letter of apology to the Board, stating that the house had to be moved or it would be demolished and that because it was being moved only a very short distance, they did not anticipate it would cause any problems. It was pointed out that moving a structure without a permit is a violation of the Municipal Code. Mr. Brunner advised Mr. Lykowski that the Board would not be inclined to grant any additional permits to his company if such a situation were to occur again. He noted the Board appreciated the letter of apology in this case and might be willing to overlook this violation, but would not be willing to overlook a second violation. Mr. Lykowski assured the Board this would not happen again. Mr. McMahon
