SPECIAL MEETING OF THE ZONING AND PLANNING BOARD
APRIL 23, 1959
The Zoning and Planning Board convened in special session on Thursday,
April 23, 1959, with the .following members present: Chairman Horace Rice,
presiding; Messrs. Gill, Hannah, Wyngarden and King..
Mr. E. E. Davidson, 3103 Albans, requested a+new carport, utility room and
s orate room o e cons ruc e on the site of his present garage and stor-
age room at his home at 3103 Albans. The plans for ,the. new construction
were presented, with reasons for the request as follows: (1) To "keep up"
his property; (2) To improve his property; (3) To provide a usable building
to house his washing facilities; (~~-) To provide a storage area for his
garden and lawn. equipment; (5) To provide toilet facilities for grand-
children'visiting and playing in the yard, and household help to keep
them from the main house; and (6) To provide a comfortable inside util-
ity working area.
Mr. Davidson`s request for a permit to construct these improvements was
rejected by the West University Place Building Inspector, because of the
toilet facilities making the building more adaptable for living quarters.
Living in suc~~. a building is clearly an infraction of the City's Zoning
Ordinance.
After checking the plans, the. members of t?.e Board felt that even though
the utility room as proposed could be renovated in `the future by additions
to be livable, the plan is not now conducive to using it as such and in
order to promote improvements that will help keep West University Place
a well-kept city, the Board recommends that Mr. Davidson, be granted a
permit, providing that-all setbacks, offsets, building material require-
ments, etc., are met and that. he file any affidavit deemed necessary
and proper by the City AttoNney to the effect that the proposed building
will not be used for living quarters o:r any commercial use.
With no further business to come before the Zoning Board at this time,
upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting was adjourned.
