Councilman Ih-ew arrived at this point in the meeting.
Reno Rossini, 1461 Kent St., said all the people in opposition liv within 350
feet of the property and he hopes to coa�vince the Council that Board of

many elderly in the �ea who have w�orked hard to maintain the area d said m�y
uses are available without non-conforming status.
Marsha Thompson, 1449 Dansforth, said they used the same alley 2rid it has been

parking dur�ng receptions is a problem. She said dealings with . Perkovich
have nat been positive and she referred to the noise nuisance duri events at

At the question of Councilman Drew, Ms. Thompson said when it w an auction
house trucks parked for as long as two days and since the appeal been tmder
consideration Mr. Perkwich has helped to alleviate the parking prob em.

At the question of Coi.g�cilmember Sonnen, Dr. Smith said in 198 there was a
fYuit market at the location and upon question of Councilmember � Mr. Segal
said that would be a permitted use.
Mr. Rossini said the fruit market was for a four month�s retail o ration.
Steve Battisto, 1500 N. Dal.e, said he has a business in the build' adjacent tA -
the hall and also lived at the location in 1975 and the p operty under

At the questior� of Councilm� Drew Mr. Battisto said his tenants have remained

go ori after the building is closed.
Mr. Rossini said it is their contention that the building was acant before
October, 1975 and to the sprin� ar�d summer of 1977. He referred statements
in the �les flrom Mr. Cohen, Mr. Schiller aa�ci other affidavits erning the
use and lease of the property and said there are about thirty three people
present in the Co�mcil Chambers in opposition to the proposal.
Mr. Cohen indicated that he has made no effort to bring in su rters of the
proposal such as groups and charitable organizations using the bui ding.
At 12:05 P.M. the meeting was recessed t.mtil 1:15 P.M. and then r onvened.

Mr. Rossini submitted and explained several affidavits and docLUnen relating to
the use of the property �d said based oc� the evidence presente they t,u�ge a
vote to deny nan-conforming use.
Laurence Cohen, attorney representing Mr. Perkovich, appeared and said the
appeal before the Council today was filed by Mr. Aossini and other neighbors and
the burden is not on Mr. Perkovich. He said he has not rec 'ved all the
information submitted by Mr. Rossini but the copy of the warramt deed a�d the
comm�ts aa�e incorrect amd he said he has a copy of the contract or deed that
was dated in December of 1976 and that is the closing doctunent. He said the
City Co�mcil has the right to hear the appeal when there is a det rmination of
error and the affidavits are part of the file and were considered by the Board
of 7�oning Appeals. He said all the information he lzas heard ay has been
previously submitted although not in affidavit form. He referred to
organizations that use the location for bingo games and said it is also used for
wedding receptions, square dancing and some more events. He said Mr. Perkwich
has been responsible to the coneerns of the neighbors and Mr. kavich has
stated he dcesn't want a liqua- license or want admission events �nd he has a
police officer for ev�y affair except afternoon bingo. He said chains the
lot after closing and deals with traffic issues and has reed to any
concessions he can make as a businessman. He said Mr. Perkov' h pays over
$13,000 in taxes and provides a good service and he referred to signs on .
adjacent property relating to perking which involves street or dewalk area.
He explai.ned affidavits on file showing the property was leased tA Mr. Marty in
1975.
Co�cilmember S�nen referred to problems witih some of the testi y concerning
� the use of the property for a fruit market and Councilman Tede said he is
familiar with that operation aa�d believes it was mainly a wholesal operation.

� � staff amd with the neighbors. ��
Mr. Battisto said the fruit market operation was strictly a retail peration and
he was in that building during the time i,alder contention and it w vacant aa�d
Mr. Schiller should have papers showi.ng rental a�d lease of the pr rty.
At the questian of sane Councilmembers, Mr. Segal explained the nforming
use provision in the zoning ordinance.
Robert Cunningham, 1532 Maywood, said the fruit store didn't have enough
merchandise tA operate as a wholesaler and he also expressed ncern about
liquor service at the hall. �
Mr. Rossi.ni said he ag�eed previously that the warranty deed inform ion may not
be substantial and he thinks the information from the telep one book is
substantial information. He said the fruit market was a B-2 o eration and
supersedes the non-conforming use status.
Mr. Segal said whether the use as a fruit market constitutes a use whieh
supersedes a non-conformir� use is an area of discretion for the il.
Councilman Scheibel moved that the public hearing be closed with iscussion be
limited to Councilme�nbers.
Adopted. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0
Councilman Masanz said information from Mr. Marty and Mr. S hiller vary
considerably a�d the report of Wendy Lane says an inspection shows the building
vacant in 1975 and and in 1976. He said a letter af Mr. Erickson f no basis
for granting a non-conformi.r�g use a¢�d doctunents do r�ot show proof of operation
even in 1976.
Councilman Masanz moved that the Council deny non-conforming use s tus for the
hall. .
Councilman Scheibel said most decisions on appeals are neces ary because
informatia� is not clear and it is a fact that a permit was issu to build a
dance area. He said Mr. Perkavich has remodeled the property at eat expense
ar�d there is a hardship factor and he thinks the use is similar there was � �
continuous use a�d the Hoard of Zo�ing made the right decision.
. ..._ Councilman Nicosia said he agrees with. the remarks of Counci].maa� Scheibel and _. _.
thinks the operation is a neat �d cle� ane and parking is good.
Councilman Drew said there is a lot of hearsay involved and h thinks Mr.
Perkovich has made c�anges a�d will cooperate with the neighbors.
Councilmember Sonna� said she will support the motion but it is a difficult
decision and she believes Mr. Perkovich i.s a good operator amd would be an
asset to the community and �e Itnows it would be a Yarrible ic hardship
for Mr. Perkwich but she thinks the zoning laws must be upheld.
Coun�ilman Masa�z said the majority of the neighbors would suffer rdship also
a�d he again referred to the inspection report stating the build' g was still
vacant in 1976.
Councilm an Tedesco said he thinks the City is partly at fault for issuing
permits and he plans to vote against the motion.
