No: None Mr. Hilding Ahlstone, 3318 Georgetown, requested permission to erect a carport in front of his existing detached garage witYi one of the front supporting posts to be located only 12 ft. from the east property line. A review of the- plat submitted indicated that the roof of the carport would be in line with the existing garage which is 2.7 ft. from the property line and only a support- ing column would rest on the post he proposed to locate 12 ft. from tYc property line. Mr. Ahlstone stated that his reason for desiring the post at this loca- tion was due to the concrete drive being within 12 ft. from the line at this point and if the post was located any farther from the property line it would be in the way when trying to back a car out of the garage. The Board explained to Mr. Ahlstone that the Zoning Ordinance requires that no upright structure be erected closer that 3 ft. to the side property lines, and took the following action: Motion by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Latt, that the request of Mr. Hilding Ahlstone, 3318 Georgetown, to erect a carport in front of his existing garage with the front supporting post on the east to be located rnly 12 ft. from the east property line, be denied. VotingAye: A11 No: None Mr. Jim Glass, represented by Mr, H.F. Goeters, Architect, requested that he be permitted to construct a residence on Lots 3 & ~, Block 15, WUP 1st Addn. appro- ximately 39'2" back of the property line in lieu of the 30 ft. setback as speci- fied in the zoning ordinance in order to leave several nice trees on the lot, During consideration of this request it was determined that one residence on the block appeared to be closer than 30' to the front property line and apparently there had been no established building line in this area when the older houses were constructed. Motion by Mr. Lott, seconded by Mr. Jones, that the request as presented by Mr. Goeters on behalf of Mr. Jim Glass for permission to erect a residence on Lots 3 & -~+, Block 15, WUP 1st Addn. approximately 39'2" from the front property line be recommended for approval in view of the apparent lack of established build- ing lines and due to one of the dwellings appearing to extend within the 30' setback line; further, the dwelling proposed for the 200 x 200 ft. tract is cus- tom designed around existing trees and would have no tendency to detract from t~6 surrounding property.
