TITLE

Resolution authorizing the issuance of a permit to VJS Construction allowing occupancy of the public alleys abutting the north and the east sides of the Hotel Wisconsin located at 720 North Old World Third Street.

ANALYSIS

This resolution authorizes City officials to issue an occupancy permit to VJS Construction allowing the company to occupy two sections of alley in the block bound by North Old World Third Street, North 2^nd Street, West Wells Street, and West Wisconsin Avenue.  The affected sections of alley abut the north and east sides of the Hotel Wisconsin which is located at 720 North Old World Third Street.  The company would occupy the two sections of alley in conjunction with its rehabilitation work on the hotel.  The hotel structure covers its entire site.  No on-site land is available for materials storage or for the removal of construction debris.  Therefore, VJS has requested permission to occupy the alleys abutting the hotel for these purposes.  Occupancy is expected to last for about one year.

BODY

Whereas, VJS Construction is acting as the general contractor for the Hotel Wisconsin rehabilitation project; and

Whereas, There is no space available on the hotel site for construction staging activities including materials storage and removal of construction debris; and

Whereas, The hotel, located at 720 North Old World Third Street, is bounded on its north and east sides by public alleys; and

Whereas, VJS has requested permission to occupy the two sections of public alley that abut the hotel for construction related activities during the course of the hotel rehabilitation project; and

Whereas, Occupancy of these alleys is expected to last for approximately one year beginning in September 2005; and

Whereas, VJS has contacted the owners of property located opposite the hotel on the other side of the affected sections of alley about the proposed alley closures; and

Whereas, Those properties do no take access from the affected alleys; and

Whereas, The Commissioner of Public Works may approve temporary occupancy of up to one third of public rights-of-way while temporary use beyond that point must be approved by the Common Council; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the appropriate City officials are hereby authorized to issue a permit to VJS Construction allowing occupancy of the sections of public alley located adjacent to the north and to the east sides of the Hotel Wisconsin; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the occupancy permit for these alleys shall be good for a period of up to one year from the date the permit is issued.
