Zoning and Vacation Committee November 9, 1993 Page 3 also noted that screening should not have a negative impact on the surrounding residential development. Mr. Tim McCollough made the presentation. He stated that this is the last building on the site to be developed. The II` property containing 7 mini-warehouse buildings. Council President Luecke requested for safety reasons that screening helped create a better impression of the property. The petitioner noted that screening would be placed on the South and West side of the property. Following further discussion, Council Member Coleman made a motion seconded by Council Member Washington that Substitute Bill No 79-93 be recommended favorable to Council. The motion passed. The Committee then reviewed Substitute Bill No. 80-93 which is a rezoning request for the property located at 1145 Prairie Avenue. Mr. John Byorni of the Area Plan staff noted that at a public hearing on October 19th the Bill was recommended favorably to the full Council. Mr. Carrie Levin made the presentation. He stated that the requested "E Zoning" is the preferred zoning for the area in question. He noted that between 40 to 50 new jobs would be created. Council Member Zakrzewski questioned what the outside use of the property would be. Mr. Levin noted that the warehouse would have 94 , 000 square feet and currently they are paying approximately $1600 per week for security because of individuals stealing the metals. Mr. Levin noted that the outside operation would only be to allow ingress and egress to the property and paving the parking lot for employees in the possible storing of boxes. He noted that there currently two shifts working and that the wire chopper is inside the building itself. Council Member Puzzello noted that she had received a letter from Rum Village. Mr. Levin noted that he had met with Mr. Broden and Mr. Caldwell sometime ago and had cut back hours to 10 O'Clock. Mr. Zakrzewski noted that phone calls have subsided since July or August of this year. Mr. Zakrewski further noted that Rum Village will probably be speaking against the Bill this evening.
