The complete minutes from the October 16 meeting of the Bellevue Civic Association can be found at Bellevue Web. Highlights:

There are 111 paying household members of the association. Annual dues are $15 per year.

Association officers were elected: Roy Reynolds, president; Joellen Davis, vice-president; Janet Brown, treasurer. The association still needs a secretary for 2008.

One issue raised concerned the request by Northside Grille to the Zoning Commission for permission to open the patio on the side for serving food and drink, including alcohol. From the minutes: “Joe Stankus, owner of business on Bellevue known as Sanitech, shared complaints about the noise generated by patrons leaving the Grille at night. They congregate around the cars, shout loudly to one another, and often are drunk. There have been several instances of public urination as well. The Zoning Commission apparently sent a letter to 3 residents on Bellevue, and none of the businesses. The concern is that this nuisance behavior will tend to increase with outdoor food and beer sales on the patio … It was generally agreed that we are very much in favor of keeping the restaurant open and supporting them. We love having them in our neighborhood, we just don’t want neighbors to be awakened in the wee hours with drunken noise.”

Another issue discussed: Traffic lights at all entrances to Bellevue Avenue are much too short on the green signal, and much too long on the red.

The next Civic Association Meeting will be held on January 22, 2008 due to the
holidays. Meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month.
