There being a quorum, the meeting was called to order at 2:00 P. M. The minutes of the lastmeeting were approved as mailed. Action was taken on the following applications for Variances: - Item No. 1 v Z-1698 Applicant: Lewis S. Rauton Location: 510 South Summit Street Descriptions. Lot-10, Block 20, Foust's Addition Classification: "EBl-Apartment District Variance: Requests a Variance from the Use Provisions of Section 43m21-(H-b) to permit parking in Front Yard space, and the Rear Yard Provisions of Section 43-13m(2) to permit construction in Rear Yard Space Mr. Lewis Rauton and Tommy Coyle were present to represent this application. There were no objectors. In order to have adequate parking,it is necessary to move the building back within 5' of the rear yard line which would line up with his other apartment building adjacent to the north, and he intends to have the same garbage and meter facilities serve the three buildings. He also stated that the construction would meet the requirements of the City Building Code. A motion was made to approve and was seconded and passed unanimously. -2- Board of Adjustment Minutes - 10-19-64 Item No. 2 - Z-1731 Applicants. J. Wythe Walker Locations. 400 South Elm Street Descriptions Lots- 10, 11 and 12, Block 12, Plateau Addition Classifications "D"-Apartment District Variances. Requests Variances (1) from the Main Structure Provisions to permit more than one structure on a lot, (2) the Use Provisions to permit construction in Front Yard Space, and (3) from the Area Per Family to permit two units more than permitted on tract Messrs. Wythe Walker and Robert Robinson, Architect, were present. Mr. Walker said in regard to the first Variance, that actually there are three lots 1500 x 1300 and rather than putting one building on each lot, he thinks a better plot plan layout can be obtained by building two main structures longitudinally on the lot and hence the Variance for two structures on one lot. The Front Yard Space waiver comes about because of the desire to park the cars at the rear of the site off of the alley as Mr. Walker thinks this is the most appropriate place for the parking area, but this does not permit quite enough room on the lot without a Variance of the Front Yard Setback. The third Variance was asked for since the number of units in a "D"-Apartment zoning classification would permit only 16.36 units and he proposes to build 18 units. To make the buildings symmetrical, the plans call for the construction of 9 apartments in each unit, which would have six two-story units plus three ground floor basement units in each building. The three apartments in the basement were designed so as to meet the Code requirement of the City. Mr. Walker said that the alternating court yards make the layout more attractive. Four ladies appeared in oppositions Mrs. Durward Allen, 517 South Elm Street representing the Baptist Student Center, 323 South Elm Street; Mrs. Harlan Hill, Mrs. Mattie F. Harris, 400 Cedar, and Mrs. J. S. McCarty who stated that the area is already quite congested because of the proximity of the Medical Center, and parking is a problem since Cedar Street is a one-way street without parking privi- leges. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Myers, 424 South Cedar filed a letter of approval of the application. In Executive Session, a motion was made for approval of the Voriances for more than one structure on a lot; to permit construction in the Front Yard space suffi- cient to allow parking in the Rear Yard Space off the alley, but to deny the construction of more than a maximum of 16 units, and that the parking areas, spaces and access, meet with the approval of the Community Development Department. The motion was seconded and passed. Mr. Farrell abstained. -3- Board of Adjustment Minutes - 10-19-64 Item No. 3 v Z-1557 Applicants Rector -Phillips -Morse, Inc.
