recommending against granting this request; the
Staff feels that this is an overly large parking pad
on a pie shaped lot with a narrow front yard and
this is an excessive amount of pavement in the side
yard considering the configuration of the lot.
Mr. Virgil Strzelecki, 291 Lynn Court, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that there are
inaccuracies in the Staff report; his neighbor is in
agreement; another of his neighbors was granted a
variation.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that the homes in
this area were built with one-car garages; this is
not midtown Manhattan, we need cars to get around.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Brookman, to
recommend to the City Council to grant request for
Variation to Section 10-1-11 of the Building Code
Amendments to enlarge existing driveway to create a
parking pad, varying in width, from 10' 8" at the
front corner of the house, to 16' at the rear by 30'

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT -Alderman Becker, Chair
Alderman Becker reviewed City Attorney Wiltse's memo
of June 10, 2005, regarding the connection of M.K.
Bellaire Subdivision to Trailside Lane.
Alderman Beauvais stated that this connection should
not be made; Trailside Lane is not wide enough;
there was a fire in this area last July and there
was not a problem getting the fire equipment to this
area.
Alderman Brookman stated that it makes more sense to
enter the subdivision from Bellaire; time would be
lost turning around; Big Bend, Berry Lane, Brentwood
and Krowka all exceed our cul de sac length limits.
City Manager Niemeyer stated that these streets were
there before the current ordinance.
Alderman Murphy stated that she supported this
subdivision when it first came before the City
Council; it is a disservice to the neighborhood to
connect Trailside Lane; Trailside Lane is not meant
to handle additional traffic.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Brookman, to
recommend to the City Council to NOT connect M.K.
Bellaire Subdivision to Trailside Lane and contact
the developer of M.K. Bellaire and inform them that
they do not have to construct a street.
Moved by Becker, seconded by Sayad, to adopt a
substitute motion to recommend to the City Council
to NOT connect M.K. Bellaire Subdivision to
Trailside Lane; City Attorney to inform the City
Council of all legal ramifications of this decision
and draft any necessary documents, resolutions
and/or ordinances. Motion declared carried.
