SPECIAL EXCEPTION ITEM EXC17-00003:
Discussion of an application submitted Mukunda Kantamneni to amend the conditions of a
previously approved special exception to allow removal of a barrier/gate located in the
Community Commercial (CC-2) zone at 1410 Waterfront Drive.
Walz summarized the situation at the site showing the two sections of Waterfront Drive as they
existed prior to 2016. She noted the location of the subject property and the gate that had been
required to prevent cut-through traffic to and from Gilbert Street. Walz then showed a more
recent aerial view in which the entire northwest section of Waterfront Drive had been vacated
and removed, eliminating the intersection that had been at issue during the original special
exceptions in 1997 and 1998. The aerial view provided a view of the new development of the
site with a new access drive that lined up with the Hill Bank entrance drive on the west side of
Gilbert. Walz explained that the northern portion of Waterfront Drive no longer existed and
therefore the gate no longer served the purposed for which it had been required.
The Board discussed the matter briefly and then Soglin opened the public hearing. Seeing no
one present to speak on behalf of or against the special exception, Soglin closed the public
hearing.

Weitzel made a motion to approve the amendment to the terms of EXC98-00029, to remove the
condition requiring a physical barrier to prevent the property from becoming an access between
the two portions of Waterfront Drive.
Parker seconded the motion.
Soglin asked whether findings were needed. Goeb noted that the redevelopment had made the
gate obsolete based on the change to Waterfront Drive.
A vote was taken and the motion carried 5-0.
Soglin stated the motion declared approved, any person who wishes to appeal this decision to a
court of record may do so within 30 days after this decision is filed with the City Clerkâs Office.
