SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT DIST. CONTINUED BROCK REQUEST beginning any construction in the event that they would like to put them in themselves. Schedule three includes the area near the middle school. Mr. Wurl stated that the City Engineer has spoken with the school district and they are in agreement to put in the sidewalks. Mr. Wurl stated that the program is a five year plan. Councilman DelPizzo suggested that the other parties who will be notified in the near future maybe should be notified earlier in case they can take care of the situation now. Mr. Wurl stated that a letter could be sent, but there would be no way to enforce it until that area comes up within the program. Councilman McDonald moved that the staff be authorized to begin to advertise and notify the proper persons on installing sidewalks on their property. Seconded by Councilman DiCarlo. Roll call. DelPizzo yes, Caranci yes, DiLorenzo yes, McDonald yes, DiCarlo yes. Motion carried. Mr. Wurl stated that a request from Mrs. Brock was made to get a variance to sell a portion of her property on Main St. and Walnut St. Mr. Wurl stated that under the subdivision regulations there is a clause that under certain situations, it is possible to be granted a variance to divide property without subdividing. Mr. Wurl stated that although Planning Commission recommended to deny the re- quest it was the staffs recommendation that Council approve the request for a variance. Mr. Brock stated to Council that they could have the property platted; however, the survey shows that the property is off several feet and to get the correct boundaries, it would take the moving of the entire area including the street location; therefore, they felt it easiest to pursue the granting of a variance. After discussion, Councilman Caranci moved that the request be denied. Mr. Brock stated that there request is within the Subdivision Regulations and that they are not going against the Ordinance. -3-
