SITE PIAN - IaJNGE AND S'lUDy ARFA/7717 GANNON The City Manager said Council is asked to consider a site plan for a four- family building at 7717 Gannon (three aparbnents are rented to students by the owner, Yeshiva High School) to constnlct a basement lounge and study area for tenant use. Approval is reccmnended with the following con:litions: 1. '!he basement space shall be used exclusively by the tenants of the build- ing. 2. '!he basement space shall not be used for classroan or instnlctional use. 3. All dwelling units which will be reoccupied in the Fall must be inspected by the city for compliance with the Property Maintenance Ccxle within the next 30 days and all code violations must be corrected prior to the issu- ance of the building pennit for the basement remodeling. 4. A fence shall be erected at the rear of the proPerty (after obtaining a pennit) prior to the issuance of a building pennit for the remodeling of the basement. 5. '!he bare area in the northeast portion of the yard shall be cultivated and seeded with appropriate grass to grow in the shade, and watered regu- larly until a healthy turf is grown. '!he process shall be repeated as often as necessary to establish a lawn in this area. Mr. Alvah Levine, 8630 Delmar, architect for the project, said there will be nine student-tenants in the building, with the fourth aparbnent rented to a house parent family.

Mr. Schoomer moved approval including all con:litions, but with the exception that simultaneous construction on interior and exterior ilnproveroonts will be allowed and must be completed before occupancy pennits are issued. Mrs. '!hompson seconded the motion. Mrs. Schuman clarified that the intent of Con- dition #3 is that all property code violations must be corrected before an occupancy pennit is issued, since the basement construction may take lOI'XJer. Mr. Schoomer agreed to that m:x:lification, as did Mrs. '!hompson.
