Docket No. 2-54 - George M. Lamberson, 1401 - 1405 West
Sixth Street, described as the N2 of Lots 1 & 2, and N2
of East 121' of Lot 3, Block 345, Original City of L. R.,
zoned I'D" Apartment District; requesting that adjustment
be made to permit occupancy of the proposed building by
other professional and business men for office use.
Mr. Lamberson was present and explained that he is proposing to
construct an office building on the SW corner of 6th and Victory Streets.
The entrance will be on Victory Street. Mr. Lamberson pointed out that
the lot is 75' x 112' which leaves ample room for construction of his
building within the required setback regulations of the Zoning Ordinance,
thereford, he is not requesting a waiver of yard space. He explained
to the members that the purpose of this application is to secure per-
mission from the Board of Adjustment to construct an office building
which will be used by business men. He added that the building will be
constructed 25' from the front property line thus giving ample vision
for traffic approaching this corner. The building will be constructed
of brick and off-street parking will also be provided.
Mr. Lamberson told the members that the surrounding property owners
in the area agree that they would rather have an office building of this
type rather than a doctors clinic, which is permitted in the "D" Apart-
ment District, because it does not create as much traffic as a clinic.
There were no objections. Mr. Stephens read from the Zoning Ordi-
nance indicating that the Board of Adjustment has the rower to act on
this matter.
Miss Penton made a motion that the application be approved; seconded
by Mr. Anderson. The motion carried.
