r r Page 3 Zoning and Vacation Committee January 28, 1991 Council President Niezgodski stated that the proposed vacation is within the Second District. He noted that several persons have contacted him who are opposed to the vacation. Blaine Avenue is narrow and he does not believe that the vacation would be in the best interest of the neighborhood, and especially those who use Cleveland Avenue and Blaine. Council President Niezgodski then read from the December 31, 1990 minutes, a paragraph indicating that the Engineering Department was giving an unfavorable recommendation (entire report attached) . In response to questions raised by Council Member Luecke, Mr. Lott noted that there are two (2) houses which have usaeble garages and they are both in favor of the proposed vacation. Council Member Ladewski questioned whether the alley was paved or gravel, and whether the Petitioner had sought BZA approval. Mr. Lott noted that it was not a paved alley, and that he could not seek BZA approval in light of the fact that there was not a primary building on the property. Following further discussion, Council President Niezgodski made a motion seconded by Council Member Zakrzewski that Bill No. 1-91 be recommended unfavorably. The motion passed with Council Member Luecke abstaining. Council Member Luecke noted that he needed to have further information and was concerned that a T-alley would be created and that no turning radius was being requested by the Engineering Department. The Committee then reviewed Bill No. 2-91 which would vacate the first East/West alley north of South Street. Mr. William A. Panzica, a partner of River Glen South Associates, gave the presentation. He noted that BZA would not allow a variance to allow vehicles to back into the alley. He stated that the alley is paved and that the Petitioner has been maintaining it for the past two (2) years. In response to questions raised by Council Member Luecke, it was noted that the vacation would allow additional landscaping, and improved ingress and egress to the parking area. Following further discussion, Council Member Zakrzewski made a motion seconded by Council Member Coleman that Bill No. 2- 91 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. The Committee then reviewed Bill No. 99-90 which would amend the zoning for the property located at 18106 Ireland Road.
