mission to erect a home at 3 0 Riley Street on Lot 10, Block 6, College View
lst Addition, with an attached garage which would extend 20' in front of the
main dwelling and also requested the Board to waive the 20' set back restrictions

left on which to build a house and garage. Mr. Cummings also explained that
this lot was at the dead end of Riley street where property of `'Vest University
Place abuts property of Southside Place and the building of a house and garage
according to plans submitted would not be a detriment to any neighboring pro -

Mr. Robert E. Nesmith Lt219 Amherst, presented a petition signed by 13 property
o•+vners on the 200 Block of herst Street asking permission to erect car ports
in front of their attached garages.. The car ports would extend a distance of
20' from the garage which in most cases would leave a d istance of about 7' be-
tween the car port and the .front property line. This request was made for reason

not permit the building of two car garages.
