Public Hearing to consider application ~~83-5 from Roger B. Anderbert to remodel
existing living area in a detached garage which extends four (4') ft. into the
rear twenty (20') ft. on:
Lot N i of 8
Block 33
West University Place 1st Addition
6509 Sewanee
was opened.
Dr. Anderberg stated that an existing living area in his detached garage contains
a sitting room and bath which consists of a lavatory and .toilet. He is requesting
to install a shower and small closet and move an existing outside door to another
wall to accomplish this, and that there would be no added square footage; that
all remodeling would be within the existing walls.
On questioning, Dr. Anderbert stated his only alternative would be to move the
existing building forward out of the rear twenty (20') fet., which was not physi-
cally or financially practical.
The following correspondence was read into the minutes in favor of said applica-
tion:

Assistant Building Inspector Steve Ryan stated the reason the permit was denied
is because the detached garage is four (4') ft. within the twenty (20') ft. set-
back and this area would be used as temporary living quarters, and on questioning.
stated there were no records on file in the Inspection Department as for the use
of the building or how long the building existed; and that it appeared to have
been constructed at the time the garage was constructed and not added later.
Chairperson Billings asked Dr. Anderberg is he would be willing to execute an
agreement that he would never rent this facility and have that filed of Records.
Dr. Anderberg agreed.
Motion by Mrs. McKelvey, seconded by Mrs. Fougerat, that Public Hearing be closed.

Dr. Roger B. Anderbert for a four (4') ft. variance into the rear twenty (20')
