PROCEEDINGS: Ms. Helbig explained they are asking for a variance in bathroom facilities and cooking facilities. They have 14 rooms, the occupants of which share two bathrooms which consist of 2 toilets, 1 shower and l tub each. She explained the tenants are retired people living on social security and low incomes. The rents are low and the rooms are too small to install individual bathrooms. She produced a petition from the occupants expressing their satisfaction . of the rental property and their concern at cooking facilities being eliminated. �Ms. Helbig said there are 40 other items on the inspec- . tion list.. and the cost is astronomical, however, they are trying to obtain a low interest loan and expect to make aIl other repairs. She explained she and Mr. Meisel are co-owners and are both retired and on a fixed income. Jack Mueller, City Building Department, said he feels item No. 41 the shared bathroom facilities could be overlooked as this arrangement has been existence for so long, providing the owners see their way clear to do the electrical work and all life threatening code violations � be corrected. If they show progress on the work and call periodically, he feels the variance could be granted for as long as the appellants own the building. He further felt an extension of time - maybe six to eight months could be granted to complete the work and obtain financing. BOARD ACTION: Ron Glassman moved that an extension of time be granted to January 1, 1985 on items No. 1 through 40 provided alI items be corrected by that date; and a variance be granted� on No. 41 in the inspection report pertaining to shared bathrooms outside dwelling units for as long as appellants own the building.

Health Department, stated he is in violation of code, Chapter 163 which says a motor vehicle which does not have the proper current license conspicuously displayed on it cannot have it on the property. It is a city ordinance . declaration and he is in violation of the code. If it has a current Iicense he can park it there. A license can be obtained by signing a statement he does not plan to drive the car. � Glen Gausman suggested a letter be sent to the Mayor and/or Council suggesting that law be revoked. He feels the city should make some � provision for a citizen to park an unused auto on his property if he ' has legitimate reasons.
