Art Fair parking clears first Council hurdle By JENNIFER MILLER City government reporter An ordinance that would allow parking on lawns during future Ann Ar- bor Art Fairs passed its first reading at the Ann Arbor CityCouncil meeting last night. David Pulsipher of the University Student Lutheran Chapel near S. University and Washtenaw presented a petition signed by members of the church and 12 fraternities and sororities in the area, asking the Coun- cil to allow them to use the lawns as parking lots. THE NEW ordinance would not repeal the current law against lawn parking; it would apply only during Art Fair days. A permit would be required, and Council will later set rules for the parking, possibly prohibiting overnight parking and limiting the number of cars parked on a lawn. Mayor Louis Belcher said this year he has "received more calls than ever before" about Art Fair parking. Police gave warnings to those parking cars on lawns, and issued one ticket which was waived because of the upcoming Coun- cil action. PULSIPHER SAID his church and most of the fraternities and sororities used the parking fees for charity and extra-curricular activities. Belcher also suggested that Council set additional rules to alleviate other problems caused by the Art Fair. "A lot of citizens are getting so awfully tired of the Art Fair," he said, "that they want no more Art Fair. In fact, a petition is going around the residential area to that effect." A few of the suggestions Belcher made were: no music in the streets af- See ART FAIR, Page 7 FIGHT FOR HISTORIC SLATE ROOF MAY BE OVER: Tappan Hall to get asphalt roof By ANN MARIE FAZIO Daily staff writer Although a local contractor says he can repair Tappan Hall's leaking roof with slate tiles for considerably less tha it would cost the University to replace it with asphalt shingles, University of- ficials say they plan to go ahead with original plans to replace the aging slate tiles. University Business Operations Director John Weidenbach said late last night that while he would look at the new proposal, he will not change his decision to reshingle the roof. SOME FACULTY members have op- posed the replacement of the slate tiles, claiming that the asphalt shingles would mar the historic building's beauty. The building, which houses the History of Art department, will receive a new roof of asphalt shingles despite efforts of a committee of several con- cerned faculty members and com- munity officials to thwart the project. This committee contends that an asphalt roof would detract from the historic beauty of the hall. Built in 1894, it is the third-oldest building on cam- pus, and it has been designated an historic landmark. LOCAL CONTRACTOR Joseph Hayes said he could repair the roof for less than $30,000, using 50 percent of the original slate. This bid includes both labor and materials (extra slate) needed. History of Art Prof. David Hun- tington and Economics Prof. William Sheperd contacted Hayes last weekend after learning that Weidenbach had decided to go ahead with the asphalt roofing, which would cost the Univer- sity $50,000. Weidenbach had concluded that replacing or reusing the slate roof would be too expensive, Huntington said: But the option of simply repairing the roof was never considered, he said. HAYES WOULD replace the missing and broken slate and fix any improper past repairs, Hayes said. "It's an elementary job to repair it,'' he said, af ter inspecting the roof Saturday. "It's basically a sound roof." He added that the University may have ben negligent in the upkeep of the roof. Hayes also said many of the com- plaints about the roof are exaggerated. Many of the leaks, he said, are actually just open windows somebody forgot to shut. And the "holes" in the roof where some claim to be able to see sunlight are actually towervents "which are designated to be wide open." Huntington left Hayes' bid and a cover letter explaining -why the See TAPPAN, Page 11
