Kelley on March 19, 1948, the Zoning ~: Planning Board recommends that if it can be legally arranged, and if upon Public Hearing, it is approved, tr~en tree restrictions in regard to building y,i thin 160 Ft. of the west property line of Kirby Drive be changed on the IJorth and South sides of Sunset Blvd. It appears that +,he Zoning law requires a 2C~ Ft. space between any building in treat industrial area and next g~~ 10 ~ - _ _ adjacent private home. In view of the driveway being I2 ft.~ the Board recommends that the 2~ rt. restriction be amended also. C R T --~' "- ~~ SRC F,.sTA~tY 1 ~c~~
