Goodrich (8 units) SUBJECT : Request variance of Section 34. 11, pertaining to basic facilities , to permit continued use of bathroom located outside of dwelling unit, because of practical difficulty and feasibility. PROCEEDINGS : Ms. Goodrich explained she was requesting a varian ce for continued use of the bathroom across the hall from the apart- m�nt, outside the d�velling unit. She stated the apartment is very small and occupied by one person only. This occupant is th� only one using the bathroom. She stated there is a shower in the apart- ment , but the lavatory and water closet are in a separate room in the hall. Alice Bijjan� substantiated what Ms . Goodrich said and didn' t feel there was a problem with this situation. BOARD ACTION : Mr. Tilton moved to grant a variance for continued use of the bathroom facilities in their present state. Mr. Knutson seconded the motion. Ayes 7 Nayes 0 Abstentions 9 v� vV 'vs c�dMMt''r(6 units) James Crockare�,�,�1(1�`� SUBJECT : Request variance �of Section 34. 13 , pertaining to light and ventilation, to permit continued use of certain apartment areas as designated in the city' s letter of August 2 , 1983 , because of practical difficulty. PROCEEDINGS : Ms. Seven explained that the problem �•�ith the first floor is the wails are 18" thick and it would be almost impossible to put in a larger window. She further explained that the problem on the third floor with improper light is that the roof is slate which would discount putting in a skylight because of the exhorbitant cost. Ms. Seven also felt because o.f the integrity and design of the structure it woul3 be most impractical. Alice Bijjani felt it is a .situation where it would be fairly expensive to corre�ct, but it is correetable. She could see granting a fairly generous extension of time so that in a couple of years it would be done. She would not like to see a permanent variance on this as it -- can , anc�- should, be corrected. � Alice suggested that in apartment #7 the room arrangements could be changed by making the kitchen where the bathroom is as it is larger and would allow for proper light and ventilation. BOARD ACTION : . n moved that a variance be given on these two items , the kitchen in Apartment No. 7 and the lighting on the third floor of the building, for a two year period. Mrs. Collins seconded the moti on. Ayes 7 Nays 0 Abstentions 0 ------------------------------ 59-83-H 2300 Wycliff Keith T. Harstad (47 units) N.E. Realty SUBJECT: Request variance of Section 34. 17 , pertaining to rooming houses , to permit more than five occupants to share one bath in certain instances owing to the nature of the disabled and elderly, because of practical difficulty. PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Lyle Tollefson , representing the o�aner , e.:plained that they were not a��are that all b athrooms had to be accessible to all persons there. He said there are 17 bathrooms on the premises and at znost times that is sufficient for the number of occupants. Mr. Kern, Building Department, stated it is merely a matter of having a 6 persons to one bath ratio instead of the 5 to 1 ratio. He has no objection to granting this variance. BOAP.D ACTION : Mr. Tilton moved that a variance be granted for continued use of bathroom facilities with the ratio of six people per bathroom. Mr. Knutson seconded the motion.

Cook (11 units) SUBJECT: Request variance of Section 34. 11, pertaining to basic facilities , to permit conti.nued use of certain ap artment areas as designated in the city` s letter of August 2 , 1983 , because of practical difficulty. PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Cook explained to the board that when he bought the property he was under the impression a variance had been granted regarding the plumbing facilities in Apartments 1, 2 and 7. He feels it would be difficult to install handsinks and partitions because of the size of the rooms. Alice Bijjani explained it was our understanding that the owner was going to make the second floor into a rooming house and would install toilets__and showers when he was given a variance. She stated it is � her feeling that there should be partitions betcaeen the stove and the toilet in apartments 1 and 7, and that handsinks be installed in all three apartments. Chairman Glassman recommended to Mr. Cook that he discontinue having cooking facilities in the apartments and this would take care of his problem. Mr. Cook felt this would be a loss of income to him. He askecl if the refrigerator could be moved into the livingroom thus making room for a handsink. BOARD ACTIOV: Mr. Tiltan moved that the variance be denied on apart- ments 1 and 7 but be granted on No. 2 , on condition a partition be " installed between the stove and toilet stool in Apt. �l, and a partition between the stove and sink be installed in Apt. #7 and handsinks be pro- vided in kitchens. rirs.

She stated that all other items in the letter issued Ms. Richards last December have been taken care of. She suggests a generous extension of time. � Mr. Knutson suggestEd in Apt. No. 1 that a sink be installed outside the toilet room on the wall adjacent to the bathroom. BOARD ACTION : Mr. Knutson moves that a variance be granted including a three month time extension to alloca appellant to install hand sinks outside.the toilet rooms for Apartments 1, 2 , and 4. Mr. Tilton seconded the motion. DISCUSSION: Alice Bijjani felt a longer time should be given for c�mpli ance. This would allow h�r to do the work now or in the event she should sell, the buyer could do it. It was the consensus of the board this should be done.
