Body
Whereas, The applicant desires to have a covered walk in the public right-of-way at its main entrance; and
Whereas, A previous tenant of the property had a covered walk at the same location, permission for which was granted in 2002 under Common Council Resolution File Number 011520; and
Whereas, Said covered walk was removed from the public right-of-way and said special privilege resolution was rescinded; and
Whereas, The current applicant chose to install a covered walk of approximately the same size as the previous; and
Whereas, Said covered walk may only legally encroach into the public right-of-way by granting of a special privilege resolution adopted by the Common Council; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that Bar Louie Waterstreet, Inc., 1840 Pickwick Avenue, Glenview, Illinois 60026, is hereby granted the following special privilege:
To keep and maintain a covered walk, 6 feet in width, centered approximately 140 feet south of the southline of West Juneau Avenue and encroaching 9 feet 7 inches into the 12-foot sidewalk area on the east side of North Water Street.

The business may be indicated only on the vertical portion of the covering and not to exceed 8 inches in height.
The grantee shall apply for and maintain “Loading Zone” or “No Parking” status adjacent to the proposed covered walk location and maintain this status as long as the covered walk occupies the public right-of-way.
Said above-mentioned covered walk shall be used, kept and maintained to the satisfaction of the Commissioners of Public Works and Department of Neighborhood Services.
Said covered walk shall be maintained or removed from the public right-of-way, at such future time as they are no longer needed, to the satisfaction of the Commissioners of Public Works and Department of Neighborhood Services.
