Title
Substitute resolution amending a special privilege to Bostik, Inc. for a fence across West Pemberton Avenue for the premises at 3020-24 West Clarke Street and 3026 West Pemberton Avenue, in the 15th Aldermanic District.
Analysis
This resolution amends a special privilege to Bostik, Incorporated for addition of a fence across West Pemberton Avenue, creating a “locked gate” situation, for the premises at 3020-24 West Clarke Street and 3026 West Pemberton Avenue.
Body
Whereas, Bostik, Inc. petitioned for a special privilege to keep and maintain three monitoring wells in the public right-of-way; and
Whereas, Permission for said monitoring wells was granted in 2006 under Common Council File Number 051692; and
Whereas, Bostik, Inc. is now requesting permission to install a fence in the public right-of-way across West Pemberton Avenue, creating a “locked gate” situation; and
Whereas, The applicant is hoping to prevent dumping and illicit activity on its properties at 3020-24 West Clarke Street and 3026 West Pemberton Avenue; and
Whereas, West Pemberton Avenue is a dead end street at this location and the fence does not block access to other properties in the area; and
