REGULAR MEETING REQUEST FOR OPEN AIR STAND TABLED MARCH 12, 1979 �Pj� LaVerne Przygocki submitted an application for an Open Air Stand License at the corner of Olive and Sample Street in South Bend for the sale of flowers and fireworks. Mrs.' Przygocki had signed an agreement with the Board last year that her premises at 1715 Portage Avenue would not be used for the distribution of flowers or fireworks as that constituted a zoning violation. The Board was advised that the Building Department had received complaints that the premises were used for the distribution of flowers last month and has been checking the property for violations. It was noted that the complaint came from a Neighborhood Association. Upon motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Mullen and carried, the Board tabled action on the application until Mrs. Przygocki provides the Board with documentation of the lease or purchase of a commercial establishment for the distribution of flowers and fireworks indicating that she will abide by the agreement she signed last year. CHET WAGGONER LITTLE LEAGUE PARADE APPROVED Ralph J. Wadzinski, Manager of the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting, reported to the Board that he had reviewed the request of the Chet Waggoner Little League to hold a parade on May 19. The route has been approved and because of congestion in the Memorial Hospital area, Main Street will not be used and the parade will proceed on Navarre Street. He noted that the Fire.Department should be notifed because the major ambulance entrance for the hospital is on Navarre Street. Mr, Wadzinski recommended approval of the parade and noted that the Police Department Traffic Division concurs in the approval. Upon motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the parade was approved, subject to filing of the necessary Certificate of Insurance. UEST FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SHEDIDAN STREET FILED The Board received a letter from Councilman Walter Kopczynski requesting that improvements be made to South Sheridan Street, south of Sample. He noted that repairs are needed because of drainage problems in the area and suggested the possibility of improvements under Barrett Law. Upon motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the letter was filed and the Clerk was directed to notify Councilman Kopczynski that the Board will be happy to proceed on this matter upon receipt of a petition signed and submitted by the property owners on the street involved, since Barrett Law requirements provide that action be initiated by affected property owners.
