Swimming Pool Committee Report.
A recommendation was received from the Council-appointed
swimming pool committee that the swim team program and coaching be put
under the Recreation Department. Mr. McLaughlin moved that the Council
adopt this recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Dunn and
passed unanimously.
Decision on bringing suit against Miss Pellegrino for non-conform-
ing use of a garage apartment.
Mr. Robert Lewin, 136 N. E. 91st St. , was present to continue
his argument that a violation had been committed of the law on non-conforming
use by a former owner and on this sworn statement the Council should enjoin
Miss Pellegrino from use of her garage apartment as a rental unit. Mr. Joe
Ludick, Miss Pellegrino's attorney, stated that this lady bought the property
as income property and questioned whether the Council should become involved
in Mr. Lewin's personal vendetta against her. After discussion by the Council
Mr. Clement moved that we bring suit against Miss Pellegrino on the non-
conforming use. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Dunn and passed 3/2 with
Mayor Jones and Mr. Claussen dissenting.
The Village Attorney's recommendation that the Council consider
repealing Ord. No. 288 and reviving the original Section 404 of
the Zoning Ordinance.
A discussion took place on how to prevent creation of 50 ft. building
sites from present home sites. Mr. Clement moved that the Village Attorney
be instructed to write an ordinance to restrict building on less than 75 ft. frontage
of property or 7500 sq. ft. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Dunn and carried.
