Voting Aye: All Voting Noe; None 1 1 Mr. Howard Williams, l~029 Tennyson submitted the following letter for the Board's consideration: Jan. 13, 19118 City Planning Board West University Place, Texas Gentlemen: Recently, may associate, ~Ir. Olsson and myself purchased Lots i1os. 1 and 33, Block 1, of College Court Place. Before doing so we inquired as to the re- strictions in this block at the pity Hall, and were told that all houses in Block 1 must be a minimum of 800 square feet. However, on presenting plans for a building permit, it develops that lot 1 has been zoned for ~a:1300 ,square foot home., even though the rest of the block is zoned for 800 square foot homes. If this lot was surrounded by other homes of this size we could have seen for ourselves what to expect, and also we could have realized the futility of even requesting a permit to build a slightly smaller home. However, there are several factors which affect this lot as a building; site, some of which I will name. It is 116 feat deep between Community Drive and the S. P. Rail- road Right of 'titay. The west 1~0 feet of the 116 foot depth is a pe rmanent .easement of the Humble Oil & Refining Company on which at the present time there are six pipe lines. Secondly, there is a 5 foot city easement plus a 10 foot building line on the south side, and of course there is the front or east 20 foot building line and a smaller building line on the north. The home on the adjoining north side is in the approximate 800 squats foot class; just across Richmond Road on Community Drive is another of this class under construction. it Therefore, with these important factors taken into consideration, we feel that a home with outside dimensions of 1~0 feet by 28 feet and a garage 18 feet by 20 feet are just about all this site can accommodate. lide are attaching a plot plan showing what the actual building space will be and how we propose to place the house on the same. The lot was purchase especially for, and the home is to be built for a G.I., one A. R. Erwin of 1217 Henry Street. The G.I. loan has been approved by the Mortgagee, Cline Mortgage Comp~y, on the plan which we are, herewith, submitting for your approval on the lot in question. LF :WHtN' Respectfully submitted, (s) Wm. Howard Williams (s) V. C. ~llson After discussion of the building area of this lot motion was made by Mrs. Eberling, seconded by Mr. King that the request of Mr. Williams be granted on the plats as submitted for the construction of a house on Lot 1, Blk. 1, College Court Place to be in excess of 1000 Sq.~; the reason being the Board has been advised there is a 1~0 ~ pipe line Right of Way off of the west end of said lot and 5 ~ reserve Right of "~".(ay off of the south of said lot and when considering these Right of 'day and set back building lines it would be difficult to construct a home containir~ 1300 Sq.' upon this particular lot. Voting Aye: All Voting Noe: None per. Francis W. Jenkins, 230 Be17a ire Blvd. presented a request by letter to subdivide the north z of Lot 2, Blk. 18, West University Place 1st Adc~i.tion as follows: Divide north 2 of the lot into-two parts by a line parallel to Brompton and~Nakeforest Street, said line being parallel to and at a distance of one hundred forty feet from 'Nakeforest Street and being parallel to and at a distance of one hundred sixty feet from Brompton Street.

Voting Aye: All Voting Noe: None Mr. Glass also requested permission_f rom the board to have his walk constructed from the front entrance running to the walk on Carnegie instead of Sewannee. The house will face Sewannee and the change in the walk will not conflict with the address. Board members agreed that this would not be a violation and gave fir.
