Richard Brame of the Bryant Franklin Corporation appeared to request a partial
occupancy of his 90 unit building located at 5445 Jackson Drive subject to the
approval of the Fire Chief, Electrical Inspector and the Building Inspector.
The Council decided that there would be no occupancy until the 30 foot easement
had been granted by Mr. Babinski and until the question of the square footage
requirement had been satisfied. Mr. Brama had previously included the easement
area in the computation of his square footage requirements and since this area
was excluded from the Village computation his plot plan on which was situated
the 90 unit building was 21,000 feet short of the necessary square footage. It
was left up to Mr. Brama to present the Council with an acceptable solution.
MSP (Johnson /Neisen) To acknowledge the Planning Commission action, to negate
it, and to request Mr. Brama to come up with an acceptable solution to the
