These appear to be founding principles behind a service organization begun just more than 100 years ago in Chicago. In an era when those dubbed “Millennials” are pigeon-holed as “Generation Me,” it may be a little diffi cult to comprehend the spirit of giving that was the underpinning of an organization such as the Ro- tary Club. It all began just after the turn of the last century... Back in 1905, Chicago was a bustling metropo- lis fi lled with people from every imaginable country and living lifestyles both prosperous and poverty fi lled. People of high ideals rubbed shoulders with those of lesser means.

He organized a group of three clients and a handful of business associates into a club that met weekly, rotating between meeting locations, thus giving way to the name “Rotary Club.” Harris had bigger ideas, realizing his club should discover a purpose beyond that of a mere social organization. In 1907, under Harris’ direction, the fl edgling Ro- tary Club took on its fi rst service project: construction of public toilets in Chicago. By taking on this small endeavor, the Rotary Club of Chicago became the fi rst world’s fi rst Service Club. Harris had great dreams for his organization.

What part of the word “illegal” does LBCC not understand? An open letter to Long Beach residents: “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot” --- Joni Mitchell, “Big Yellow Taxi” 1970 Suppose one of your neighbors decided to turn a piece of vacant, wooded property at the end of your block into a parking lot? Oh, and build a storm-water detention basin there, too? That’s what some members of the Long Beach Country Club’s board of directors and club manager want to do. So what’s the problem with this? The property is located along Larchmont Ave. at Oakenwald Ave. And, although it is owned by LBCC (and is adjacent to the clubhouse and existing parking lot), the property is zoned RESIDENTIAL. And this is, indeed, a quiet residential location with little traffi c – probably just like where you live. Is this legal? No, for several reasons. First, LBCC started building this parking lot last summer WITHOUT even obtaining a building permit. It cleared the land of trees, leaving stumps, and dumped gravel on the property. (If a homeowner began a major construction project, like adding a deck, without getting a building permit, he or she would be fi ned.) The property is now an eyesore (see photo). Really! What else? No one, especially in Long Beach, can just go and build a parking lot wherever they want, especially in the middle of a residential area. There are laws against this. Specifi cally, this parking lot would violate SEVERAL sections of Long Beach’s Building Code (Title 15), Zoning Code and newly enacted Comprehensive Plan. Are there examples? Sure. Here’s what the town’s Comprehensive Plan, on Page 9, Future Land Use, says: OBJECTIVE: The residential districts are established for places in which the principal use of land is for one single-family dwelling on a zoning lot. The intent of the residential districts is the following: • To encourage the construction of and the continued use of single-family dwellings • To prohibit uses which would be incompatible with single-family dwellings • To encourage the discontinuance of existing nonconforming uses • To discourage any use which would generate greater than normal traffi c for its street What does this mean? It means the Larchmont property, which is zoned R-1 Residential, should NOT be used for a parking lot because this would be “incompatible” with the nearby homes right across the street and down the block. The parking lot would also generate “greater than normal traffi c” on the quiet streets. Doesn’t LBCC already have a parking lot nearby? Yes. But under Long Beach’s Building and Zoning Codes, a parking area cannot exceed 35% of the surface of a lot. Adding this lot would clearly exceed the maximum allowable coverage. In other words, enough is enough. Has LBCC got a parking problem? Yes, according to the club manager. BUT the proposed 23-space gravel parking lot would be primarily intended for club employees, not members. These employees already park near the tennis courts on the east side of LBCC’s clubhouse, bothering no one. Furthermore, LBCC could easily add DOZENS of diagonal spaces next to the tennis courts, but refuses to consider this. What LBCC members would want to park their nice cars in a gravel lot at the bottom of the hill on Larchmont? But this isn’t my problem, is it? It sure is. If some members of LBCC’s board and manager believe they can fl aunt Long Beach’s Building and Zoning codes here, what’s to stop this from happening elsewhere? Long Beach has elected and appointed offi cials who are obliged to honestly and conscientiously follow the laws. They should respond to the will of the residents, not a few individuals on LBCC’s board (NOT blaming the general membership) who don’t even live in Long Beach. These individuals are not being good neighbors. What happens next? The Building Commission is scheduled to meet Friday, May 26. Tell the commissioners you’d like to see Long Beach remain residential. These gentlemen seem to be conscientious and well-intentioned. Tell them LBCC’s board should abandon its misguided, inconsiderate and illegal plan for a parking lot. Tell them LBCC shouldn’t intrude on a residential area, create a traffi c and safety hazard for pedestrians and children (remember that detention pond!), and detract from property values. Here are the Building Commissioners’ names and emails: Peter Byvoets [email protected] Robert Lemay [email protected] Tell LBCC “No” at [email protected] Joe Jogmen [email protected] Larry Wall [email protected] Sincerely, Long Beach Good Neighbors Like us on Facebook @ Long Beach Good Neighbors PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Chapel Open House A free open house is from 1 to 3 p.m. Monday, May 29, at Seth Eason Memorial Chapel in Pine Lake Cemetery, 1367 Pine Lake Ave., La Porte. Eason was a member of Hall, Weaver & Co. Bank, a retired farmer and Pine Lake Cemetery Associa- tion board president. After his death, his daughters, Cynthia and Sadie, and widow, Paulina, built the chapel and dedicated it as a memorial on Dec. 8, 1912. It then was presented to the Pine Lake Cem- www.fernwoodbotanical.org etery Association. Because of its age and the weather, the chapel suffered major deterioration. With no trust fund nor arrangements established for its care, starting a fund for contributions was needed to ensure money would be available for maintenance. The roof replacement was completed in 1994.
