Mr. Lewis Rauton was present. There were no objectors. He stated that a building permit had been issued on the property; that the property is in the historic district of the City and thinks it is entirely possible to do something better than the present permit allows, and would therefore like to ask particularly for a waiver of the front -yard parking requirement. This is in a commercial area and parking is acute in the neighborhood. He stated that this was not a speculative venture, but would be a real nice property for his ownership and that he is very definitely concerned about the over-all appearance of the property and thinks it will be quite acceptable in the neighborhood. He submitted an alternate plot plan, (which was not advertised in the legal ad), which would screen off the entire -parking area, and would allow for a large green area and stated that he would be willing to use either one. Also arrangements have been made for garbage containers of a modern type, and utility connections are from the alley and he intends -:to screen both as much as possible. There are to be 18 units, nine in each building, 19 parking spaces in rear -2- Board of Adjustment Minutes-8-17-64 front and side.

After the footings were poured, it was discovered that the sewer line is not on the line as indicated, but that it is on the applicant's property by some 3' which necessitates rending the sewer, which is very expensive, or moving the building which is what he is requesting permission to do. In doing so there would be an encroachment of 21 on the setback line. The Housing Authority has no objection. Mr. Farrell suggested that maybe the building could be moved east toward Rebsamen Park Road instead of west toward Highway No. 10.
