Carmichael, ,~~Ol Robinhood, appeared before the Board to discuss her application for official subdivision of Lot 3, Block 72, West University Place 2nd Addition, in order that a building permit might be issued on the South 50 X 100 Feet. The City DZanager's office ha,d developed that according to the tax records, this lot had been subdivided prior to 1837 and is therefore. acceptable as a building site if other requirements are met. On inspection by Mr. Kingman, however, it appears that several utility lines cross this lot at points which would make it unsuitable for building"'unless these lines are moved. Mrs. Carmichael was advised of this situation. No further action was taken by the Board, pending further study by the owner.- The request of Mrs. Aubrey Schofield, 260,E Fenwood, to remodel her present servant's quarters into living quarters for her mother-in-law was tabled, peed- ing further investigation by Mrs. Schofield. Mr. Davis had discussed her prob- lem at an earlier date, outlining the regulations set forth in the building or- dinance and Mrs. Schofield requested more time to study the problem. Building 6~: Inspector Kingman had agreed to assist her in determining the repairs that would appear permissible without violation. Mrs. T. Perm Wright appeared before the Board to discuss the inquiry of Mrs. Rose S. Skelley, 3519 Milani Street, with regard to subdividing a 100* x 100 corner lot located at Buffalo Speedwa~r and Pittsburg n o two 0 x 00 .lots. After reviewing the set-backs that would be required upon such subdivision, it was the feeling of the Board, concurred in by Mrs. Wright, that this lot was not suitable for subdividing.- The Board is advising Mrs.. Skelley of their action. The application of Mr. J. V. Lambr 2735 Sunset Blvd., for permission to build a servant's quarters over his existing garage was again reviewed. Since there had eb~ en considerable previous misunderstanding in connection with this request, the following action was taken. Motion by Mr. Wilson, ..seconded by Mr. Hannah, that the Bc3ard withhold any action pending further investigation.. Voting Aye: All No; -None The request of Mr. J. L. Buvens, 6032 Fordham, for permission to construct a concrete slab adjacent to his garage which would extend within 3'~of the rear property line, was again reviewed. PQeariwhile, the Building Inspector had checked the utilities in this location, and it appears that the addition of this slab, previously recommended for approval by the Board, would offer no particu- lar additional problem, since the present garage and adjacent garages are al- ready 3' 6" from the property line and the proposed slab was only an extension of the present garage floor. The Board voted unanimously to confirm its pre- vious recommendation that this application be approved. Request of J. H. Barlow, 6+02 Vanderbilt, for permission to install 220 volt wiring in existing garage apartment was reviewed. It had been confirmed by the office of the Building .Inspector that the garage apartment had been:'built in violation of the permit issued, and the Board confirmed its previous recom- mendation that the request be denied. Mr. R. A. Diehl, 3006 Robinhood, again appeared before the Board in connection with his request to construct a room over his garage which was shown on the plan as a playroom. On goes oning, owever, PVIr. Fie readily admitted that the actual intent of this addition eras to provide a bedroom for a member of his fam- ily. Mr. Diehl offered alternate plans of leaving the garage separate from the house or attaching it to make it an integral part of the house.. It was the consensus of the Board that if left detached, its use would constitute a vio- lation of the single-family dwelling restriction, and if attached, to become an integral part of the house, it would constitute a violation of the 20= rear line set-back. Motion by Mr. Hannah, seconded by Pdr. Wilson, the Board voted unanimously to re- commend rejection of Mr. Piehl's request. Voting Ayes All No; None ~~; Dr. R. H. Simpson, 3401 Tangley, appeared before the Board to 3.nquire the neces- sary formalities in obtaining a permit to build a small greenhouse attached to the back side of his garage. He explained that the garage 3`s sib ted well back from the street and approximately 20' from the rear lot line. The proposed greenhouse would be approximately 7' or 72' in width and the length of the gar- age. It was the consensus of the Board that the construction of such a green- house would constitute no violation of the building ordinance, provided Dr. Simpson would furnish affidavit that it was strictly for personal use, and in na way com- mercial. The Board suggested that he make a sketch of the proposed plans and submit them to the City Building Inspector far permit. With no further business to come before the Board at this time, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting was adjourned. O CHAIRMAN ~~~~ SECRETARY 1 C!
