Warren Baldwin Mr. Marion Butz, Mr. Bruce Anderson Acting Director Docket No. 7-50 Ralph Mase, 2315 North Polk Street, the West 1001 of Lot 8, Block 6, Newtons Addition, Zoned "A" One Family; requesting waiver of front yard space requirerients, so as to permit construction of a one - family residence. There was no one present to represent this petition. I11r. Anderson made the motion, seconded by Mr. Tarlowski, that the application be approved. The motion carried. Docket No. 8-50 Jack Kavanaugh Com�-)any, Agents, West Side of 'vildwood Road between Ed ewood Road and 110" Street, described as Lots 231-235 inclusive and Outlot "B", Proan_ect Terrace L3 Addition, Zoned "A" One -Family; requesting waiver of front yard set back restrictions on Wildwood Road and side yard set back restrictions on 110" Street. Mr. Marak told persons present that there had been two letters of objection filed with the Planning Director. He then read them to the Board. They were from Mr. x Mrs. Donald P. Tobey and R. L. Baird. Mr. Kavanaugh then told the Board that the property in question was to be built on by Mr. Burton, Mr. Denton, and Mr. Woods if the application was granted. He stated because of the slope of the land it would create a hardship and increase expenses to set back 25' from the pr.6p6rty line. The Bill of Assurance reads that the building line is 20' from the property line. They wished to waiver this 51, thus building back 15' from the front property line. Mr. Kahn, Realtor., was present to strongly object. He stated that to build in this manner would'decrease the value of their property. He told the Board that he had been the allotter for Prospect Terrace Addition and had assured the buyers that they would be protected by the Bill of Assurance. He stated that I�1r. Jacoway had himself stressed that monetary consideration was not a good reason for waiving of existing restrictions. Mr. Kahn said that they could build two stories, with the first floor down on the slope and then bring the second floor up. Mr. rallingsly, also an objector, explained that it would take the signatures of 60% of the property owners to Yet permission to build back from any other set back than that given in the Bill of Assurance. Since this was necessary, hb felt that it was useless to take up the Board's time and the time df the people present. The Chairman then asked all objecting the application to stand. There were 13 present who objected to the petition. -2- Mr. Kavanaugh told the Board that he felt it better to build these houses by waiving the property building line than to sell them to someone who would build a cheap home on them. The Bill of Assurance reads that a home built in this addition is not to cost less than ')5,000.00. One lady objector present then spoke and said that a committee was working on getting this changed in the Bill of Assurance as a-p5,000.00 home in this day is nothing compared to the time the Bill of Assurance was smitten. Mr. Baldwin then pointed out that the property was bought with the idea of complying with the Bill of Assurance. Mr. Baldwin made the motion, seconded by 1•1r. Tarlowski, that the application be denied. The motion carried. Docket No. 10-50 Wm. A. Taylor, 2601 West 5th Street, described as the North 78' of Lot 1, Block 2, Ferndale Addition, Zoned "B" Residence, requesting waiver of front yard space requirements. Tbis 50' x 78' lot was platted before the passage of this ordinance. Mr. Taylor was present and told the Board that he would like to construct a one -family residence on his small lot, but it would be necessary to have front yard space waivered. There were no objectors present. Mr. Tarlowski made the motion, seconded by Mr. .Anderson, that the applica- tion be approved. The motion carried. Docket No. 11-50 Paul H. Spikes, Northeast corner of 29th « Taylor, described as the West 50' of Lots 7,8, and 9, Block 2, C. 0. Brack Addition., Zoned "B" Residence, requesting waiver of side yard space requirements. Mr. Spikes was present and told the board that this was a side yard waivor on a reverse corner lot which required that the side yard be 50% of the front yard of the lot which this lot backs up to. There were no objectors. Mr. Baldwin made the motion, seconded by fir. Anderson, that the application be approved. The motion carried. Docket No. 12-50 Frank L.

T1r. 8e ;\Irs. Adams were present, but there were no objectors present. Mr. riarak told Mr. & 14rs. Adams that legally we would have to wait until the ten days advertising was up before giving final approval of this application, but if at the end of the ten days, March 23, there still were no objectors, the application would be approved. This was put in the form of a motion by Mr. Baldwin, seconded by Mr. Tarlowski. The motion carried. Docket No. 13-50 A. B. Corder, 1920 North Grant, Lots 1 and 2. Block 8, Mountain Park Addition, Zoned "F" Commercial, requesting waiver of yard space requirements. -3- This property was previously granted front yard waiver and permission to reverse lots. This is to permit construction of a Super Market with Off—street parking provided.
