A legal description is on file in the Planning Department office. The Chairman read the request and opened the hearing to the audience. Mr. Palin read a letter received from Mr. Zimmerman, adjacent property owner, which stated he felt the proposed roof over the storage area would generally improve the property and aesthetics of the neighbor- hood. Mr. Trefoni Rizzi, applicant, was present and answered various questions. Mr. Palin informed the applicant that the Planning Commission was concerned about requests of this nature when the code amendment to allow garden or wing walls to be constructed into the required sideyard setback was approved. There being no further comment, the hearing was closed. Board discussion followed. The Board felt it essential to learn the Planning Commission's view on such enclosed areas before decision could be made on this request.

Located at 7837 Newman Avenue in the R2 Two Family Residence District. The Chairman read the request. The hearing was opened to the audience. The applicant was present and explained his request. He stated his two -car garage structure could only be used as a one -car garage as there is only a single garage door, and laundry fa6ilities are in the other half of said structure. Mr. Wilkinson, nearby property owner, spoke in opposition and stated he felt it unfair to allow this exception, and that it might create parking conjes- tion on the street. the hearing was closed. There being no further comment, Board discussion was held. It was noted that if the existing garage is a single car garage as stated by the applicant, the request should be to reduce the number of parking spaces instead of an elimination of the 25 ft. turning radius. It was felt the City Attorney should be consulted regarding this request and that a field trip to the subject property would be beneficial to inspect the garage in question.
