The second agenda item was Bill No. 11 -13, a rezoning /special exception for 3801 W. Western <br />Avenue. This request would allow the expansion of an already existing used car lot. The request <br />for special exception involves setbacks, fencing and landscaping. The site plan and <br />specifications are on file in the Office of the City Clerk. <br />Christa Nayder, from the Area Plan Commission, reported a favorable recommendation to <br />Council with commitments evidenced in the new site plan. <br />Carina Clendenon speaking for the petitioner made the presentation. She said the petitioner <br />solicited support from the neighbors going door to door. <br />Councilmember Henry Davis, Jr., wondered why he was not contacted personally suggesting he <br />was circumvented. <br />Ms. Clendenon said a meeting was held with Mr. Johnson from LaSalle Park Neighborhood <br />Association and Mike Divita representing the Community Investment Department of the City. At <br />this meeting it was determined that because the business already exists and because there are <br />commitments to landscape and fence, the City would not oppose the petition. <br />Kathleen Cekanski - Farrand interjected that the Council needs a cop of the new site plan and a list <br />of commitments. <br />Councilmember Karen White said the new proposal should be presented to the neighborhood <br />organization. Oliver Davis said the Council should be notified of such a meeting. <br />On a motion by Gavin Ferlic, seconded by Oliver Davis the bill was continued until July 22, 2013, <br />with the support of all. <br />There being no further business to come be for the committee at this time, Chairperson Dr. Fred <br />Ferlic, adjourned the meeting at 4:31 p.m. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Dr. Fred Ferlic, Chairperson <br />Zoning & Annexation Committee <br />
