to a written request received from Monroe F. Jahns, 6319 Vanderbilt Street,
„~ that the public hearing relating to his request for a variance for the con-
~ struction of a carport be reopened.
Mr. Casey read the following provisions for rehearing a request as provided
~ by the Rules. of Procedure previously adopted by the Board:

the vote, made and acted on within ten days after its decision
and carried by not less than four (4) concurring votes,

Section 2. No motion for a rehearing shall be entertained except upon. written
request for rehearing, and then not unless new evidence is sub-
. mitted which could not reasonably have been presented at the. meeting
at which the hearing was originally had.
Section 3. If a rehearing is granted, the case shall be put on the calendar for
a rehearing and new notices issued in accordance with the notice
provisions of these rules,
Section 4. No additional application. to the Board of Adjustment shall be allowed
unless there shall have been a substantial change in the circumstances
affecting such property since the prior decision on the same piece of
property."
Mr. Casey advised the Board that the only consideration before it was whether or
not Dr. Jahns should be granted a rehearing,
Dr. Jahns stated that the sketch. furnished board members would show that
placing the line of carport supports as near to an existing column as practical
to clear an automobile (6'-10") would still place the supports beyond the set-
back requirements of the City Ordinance.. The encroachment, however, would be
essentially less .than that of the previous request.
Motion by Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr, Ayres, that based on evidence submitted
by Dr. Jahns that his request fora rehearing be approved and the case put on
the calender for the next regular meeting of the Zoning Board of Adjustment
fora hearing before .the full baord membership,
