E. 102nd Street Mr. Fernandez introduced this request for a hardship variance. Mr. Hampton noted this appeal is the result of a citation for violation which he received. He had lengthy conversation with Frank LuBien and assumed the reason he was cited was failure to obtain a permit. He showed Members photos of his basketball goal. He noted there are eleven goals within a 3 block area of his home. Members concurred it is difficult to make a ruling since the only informa- tion before them is the letter from Mr. Hampton requesting a hardship variance. No site plan and no cover sheet is included and Members could not recall the exact recommendations for the proposed basketball goal ordinance. Mr. McClure moved the request be tabled until the first meeting of October to allow Members time to research the proposed ordinance and to request Code Enforcement not to schedule Mr. Hampton for heating until the appeal has been heard. Motion was seconded by Mr. Cook and carried unanimously. 3.

Mr. Fernandez outlined background information on the zoning proposal, and cleared up some concerns of a serious potential conflict of interest. He further noted the Dog Track people exerted considerable influence over Council people, Administration, and our own Consultant, they have also appeared before this Body represented by Counsel in frustration of their proper procedure, and have requested from this Board and the Village AttornPy direction.
