APPROVAL OF MINUTES:

REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
APPROVAL OF ANNEXATION AND REZONING FROM R-1 TO R-4 FOR PROPERTY 6N204 ASH ST TO BE KNOWN AS 420 N ASH ST, CASE NO. CDC-2020-06
DISCUSSION:
Director Cage stated that when the City approved an incentive for Voluntary Annexation in July of 2015, a number of people took advantage of it. This is another one of those requests. The property is very consistent with R-4 Zoning and no other changes are required other than the rezoning from R1 to R4.
VOTE:
Ald. Jakab made a motion, seconded by Ald. Susmarski to approve the Annexation and Rezoning from R-1 to R-4 for the Property 6N204 Ash Street, which will be known as 420 N. Ash Street, Case No. CDC-2020-06. A roll call vote was taken with the following results:
Ayes: Ald. Catalano, Jakab, Messina, Sorrentino, Susmarski, E. Wesley & Woods
Nays: None
Abstained: None
Motion: Carried
REPORT & RECOMMENDATION:
PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF BUILDING PERMITS ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
DISCUSSION:
Director Cage explained the problem is that some residents are getting permits for projects but are not posting them, even though this information is noted on the card that it needs to be displayed. When they fail to do so, it wastes staff time checking. Staff is suggesting that in addition to the information being printed on the permit form and verbally advising them, to also cancel their inspection. Delaying the project by cancelling the inspection would get their attention. They would then need to schedule a reinspection for a fee of $80.00. Ald. Messina asked about having a straight up fine for more of an immediate impact. Director Cage stated that would require modifying the fee schedule and having a Public Hearing to do so. Ald. Woods suggested creating a large separate page that could be attached to the permit so it really stands out. City Manager Mermuys talked about possibly adding a neon label to stick on the document.
VOTE:
Ald. Jakab made a motion, seconded by Ald. Sorrentino, to approve charging $80 for a reinspection fee for those who fail to display a Building Permit on a property, and to add a clear message attached to the Permit about it needing to be posted. A roll call vote was taken with the following results:
Ayes: Ald. Catalano, Jakab, Messina, Sorrentino, Susmarski, E. Wesley & Woods
Nays: None
Abstained: None
Motion: Carried
ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED AT FUTURE MEETINGS:

Jakab to follow-up with Director Cage with all the information so this can be addressed. Ald. Woods advised her that the Police Department and Public Works have already been notified of the situation.
