P. Gill, presiding; Members Haralson, Livermore, Whenthoff and Alternate Member Reinhart. Mr. Snyder was absent. Mr. R. R. .Davila, 6636 Brompton, who had previously submitted a written request to the Board, appeared before the Board. He requested permis- sion to install a lavatory, water closet and shower in the southwest corner of the workshop on his property, which is attached to the rear of the garage, and is to be used for his personal use as a workshop. After considerable discussion, it was decided that the sketch presented was inadequate, in that it does not give the dimensions of any of the structures or the property. Motion by Mr. Haralson, seconded by Mr. Livermore, that Mr. R. R. Davila's request for permission to install a lavatory, water closet and shower in the southwest corner of the workshop attached to the rear of the garage on Lot 2, Block 7, West University Place First Addition, be granted, subject to receipt of a scale drawing of all the improve- menu on the lot now existing, by the Board; also subject to the execu- tion of an affidavit that this structure will never be rented or used for commercial purposes. Mrs. Adele Pittman, 6501 Vanderbilt, appeared before the Board in behalf of her written request previously submitted. Mrs. Pittman requested permission to subdivide Lot 7, Block 10, West University Place First Addition, said lot being 100 feet by 140 feet fronting on Vander- bilt Avenue. Mrs. Pittman desires to construct a new residence on the east portion of the lot for her aunt to live in, as her aunt needs some- one to care for her. It was pointed out to Mrs. Pittman that this lot cannot be subdivided, and still leave room for another residence to be constructed, because her present residence extends over 87 feet of the lot, leaving only 52 feet in the east portion. Of the remaining 52 feet, twenty feet are required to be left open as a back yard for the existing residence, thus leaving only 32 feet for another lot. Under the zoning ordinance, a lot must be at least 50 feet in frontage. After considerable discussion, Mrs. Pittman requested that tie Board defer action on her request until a later date. Mr. Earl McMahan, 6335 Vanderbilt, appeared before the Board in behalf of his request for permission to install a doub le sink in his exist- ing woodworking shop at the rear of his residence. He stated that plumbing facilities are already installed and that this is his hobby shop and would never be used for living quarters or for any commer- cial purposes, and that he would be willing to execute an affidavit to this effect. 3 Motion by Mr. Haralson, seconded by Mr. Whenthoff, that the request of Mr. Earl McMahan, 6335 Vanderbilt, for permission to install a double sink in his existing woodworking shop at the rear of his residence on the north 1~2 of lot 12, block 16, West University Place First Addition, be granted.
