ON THE QUESTION
Alderman O’Brien
And, Madam President, may | speak to my motion?
President Wilshire
Alderman O’Brien.
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you Madam President. At the last Infrastructure Meeting we did get a chance to meet with the Knapp
family who live at a current address of #7 Berkshire and they have been there for over 40 years. Yet the
gentleman that owns #7 it’s a double size lot, it does meet the requirements and can be subdivided. Although
in a perfect world we would like to have all of our numbers in sequential. But in my communication with the
Committee that we have in the City to correspond mostly for emergency response of 911 and direct
conversations with the Fire Chief Rhodes, it was agreed and was sponsored by the Infrastructure Committee to
go with this numbering of leaving #7 as is and to rename the property 5 and 9 Berkshire Street. So | hope you
can support this motion.
President Wilshire
