Motion was seconded by Mr. Reynolds and RESOLUTION NO. 365 was unanimously passed. An amendment to the Zoning Ordinance was proposed to permit the construction of a building on any size legally subdivided lot. After some dis- cussion this amendment to Section 404, was referred back to the Village Manager for further study. At the last Planning Board meeting approval was recommended for a set back variance on the new buildings for the Presbyterian Church. After reviewing this plan, Mr. Reynolds moved that the recommendation of the Planning Board be approved because of the location being the rear of the building and across the street from commercial property. Mr. Franco seconded the motion and it was passed by four affirmative votes with Mr. Carpenter not voting. Mr. Herbert LaFata of 250 N. E. 96th St. was present to petition the Council to do something about the 100 ft. of vacant property west of his home which is being torn up by cars parking there and getting stuck in the sand. He asked the Council to put up signs prohibiting parking on this property. After some discussion Mr. Carpenter moved that the Village Manager be instructed to write Bessemer Properties, owner of the property, that it is no longer a 3/5/57 12 -3- permissible that lots presently zoned for parking purposes shall be used for that purpose unless adequately surfaced so as not to injure the neighboring property. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed unanimously. After a review of the current bills, Mr. Franco moved that they be approved. Mr. Reynolds seconded the motion and it was passed. Concerning the unfinished business of the parkway on N. W. 2nd Avenue, Mr. Phillips moved that we dispense with the islands and center plantings and re-surface and reline N. W. 2nd Avenue from 105th Street to 111th Street, making it not more than 24 ft. wide, with the money to be taken from the Contingent Fund and the Street Fund. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously. Mr. Carpenter then brought up the matter of the Chamber of Commerce's permit to occupy space in the Village Hall. He stated that we have had the Chamber in here for almost a year and we should give them notice to seek an office somewhere other than the Village Hall and that we should not permit any organizations to use the City Hall for an office. The Council decided this was an administrative matter and that the Village Manager should notify them of the terms specified in the Council minutes of last April. The meeting adjourned at 5:30 P.M.
