Mr. Clifton Campbell was out of .town, The request. of Mr. W. A. Pearson, 280+ Tangley Road, was reviewed. He originally had sought approval to install 220--volt wiring for an air conditioner in their garage apartment at 36112 Ambers ree , an on ena.a o s request, amended his application to cover only some additional 110-volt electrical outlets which he stated were to relieve the load on present limited facilities. After careful de- liberation, it was the consensus of the Board that the installation of this ad- ditional electrical wiring could not be construed as other than an impxovement to property of non-conforming use. Motion by Mr. Hannah, seconded by Mr. Gill, that the Board recommend denial of Mr. Pearson's request to install additional 110-volt electrical outlets in an existing garage apartment at 36112 Amherst Street.

T e u - ing wou d include lights and water connection, but no heat, gas or sanitary plumbing.

Voting Aye: A11 No: None Mr. Cecil C. Lancaster, 5115 Beechnut, requested approval to install a second elec- tric meter in a duplex which he owns at 6+01 Westchester. This is a frame cep with eleven rooms and two baths owned by Mr. Lancaster since 1g3~+. One side of the duplex has been. rented continuously, and Mr. Lancaster has lived in the other side. Now he has moved to a new location. The building already has separate gas meters, and Mr. Lancaster has requested the second electric meter in order that the tenants could be billed properly for service. On deliberation by the Board, it was the con- sensus of opinion that although this installation might be considered as an improve- ment, in view of the fact that it would in no way add to the non-conforming use already in existence, it was a reasonable request. Mo+bion by Mr. Wilson, seconded by Mr. Rice, that subject to confirmation by City Attor- neyr that approval of this installation would not jeopardize the city policy of denying improvements to non-conforming use, Mr. Lancaster's request be approved.
