' APPEARA�vCE : Robert P. Kranz
PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Kranz explained that in one of the apartments there was
a oor lea ing directly into the shared bathroom. The other apartment's
tenant , who shared the bathroom, entered by way of a locked door in the
common hallway. Mr. Kranz said it has always been his policy to rent these
two units only to single persons and he intended to continue the policy.
Alice Bijjani said there was a zoning problem that had nat yet been resolved
as to the number of units that could legally be operated on the property.
BOARD ACTION: DZr. Gausman moved that a variance of Section 34. 11 be granted,
to permit tenants o£ Apts . #4 and #7 to continued sharing use of one bathroom
facility, subject to �esolution of the zoning problem, on condition ±hat
no more than one person occupy each unit, and that all remaining work orders
listed in city' s letter of 7/8/81 be completed. Mr. Knutson seconded.

(six units)
SUBJECT : Request variance of Section 34. 11 , to permit shared bathing
ac�ility (shower only) by Apts . #5 and #6 (each has toilet and handsink) ,
__.__ and variances of Sections 34. 13 and 34. 14 , to permit occupancy of ttao _
basemen� apartments where windows to not meet code specifications for
escape windows in sleeping rooms and light and ventilation reQuirements ,
because of financial considerations .
APPEARANCE : S. R. Sturm
PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Sturm explained that Apts. #5 and #6 each h.ad private
toilets and handsinks , but tenants of these two units shared use of a
shower room located off the common hallway. In regard to escape windows
and light and ventilation, he said it would be quite expensive to put in
larger windows in the two basement apartments , and it would require con-
struction of windowwells outside each of them. He then recalled thati there
were unused openings on another wall of each unit, used as coal chutes in
the original construction when there were no basement apartments , which
might be used to place escape windows .
Alice Bijjani said this appeared to be a good solution , that it would not
only provide the needed escape windows , but would also add light and venti-
lation. She suggested, however, that if for some reason the coal chute
openings were not feasible, and if the existing window openings had to be
used, it would be necessary to include a variance on sill height because
of the difficulty of complying with the 48-inch specification. She proposed
that a step under each escape window be provided no more than 48 inches
from the sill height.
Mr. Gausman asked about the fire separation of the boiler area from the
dwelling units in the basement.
Mr. Sturm said he proposed to install a sprinkler system above the boiler
as an alternative to shee�rock, which would interfere with the boiler.
, � -3- 9/8/81 - Meeting No. I77

.:. ,
Alice Bijjani said a sprinkler system was an acceptable alternative, but
it �,rould be necessary to get permission from the city Water Dept.
Chairman Glassman read a letter from Merriam Park Community Council , in
which they requested the board to postpone the hearing on this case until
after the September 14 meeting of their Housing Committee.
Mr. Knutson said he personally did not feel the board should have to wait
for a community organization to meet before hearing an appeal. If the
community organization had a strong interest , they should call a special
meeting prior to the date when an appeal was scheduled to be heard by the
Board of Appeals. The other board members concurred.
BOARD ACTION: Mr. Knutson moved to grant a variance of Section 34. 11 , to
permit tenants of Apts . #5 and #6 to share use of one shower facility,
on condition that no more than one person occupy each dwelling unit.
Also, Mr. Knutson moved to deny a variance of Section 34. 13 , pertaining
to escape windows in sleeping rooms , except that, if the required window
is more than 48 inches from the floor, a variance be granted on the sill
height, provided that a permanent step be installed under each escape window
� to compensate for the discrepancy. Mr. Sawyer seconded. MOTION CARRIED
AND SO ORDERED.

hardship and practical difficulty.
APPEARANCE : Oscar Valar
Pierre Regnier, Attorney at Law
FROCEEDINGS : Mr. Regnier reviewed a board decision made in March, 1977 ,
on an appeal filed by Mr. Valar, whereby a variance had been granted for
tenants of five second floor units in this same building to share use of
tztio bathroom facilities. Since that time , Mr. Valar had put into operation
four dwelling units on the third floor. One of these units had its own
private bathroom, but the remaining three shared a bathroom facility. The
ot�ner was willing to accept the same restrietions placed on _the 1977
variance for the dwelling units on the third floor if the board decided in
his favor, the conditions being that no more than one person occupy each
of the units sharing a bathroom, and that the variance be in effect as
long as Mr. Va1ar lived in the building. Mr. Regnier told the board that
D4r. Valar' s daughter cleaned the shared bathroom daily, and the entire
building was kept in excellent condition. Mr. Valar agreed to do all the
remaining work rec{uired by the city in their letter of 8/4/81.
BOARD ACTION: Mr. Sawyer moved to grant a variance of Section 34. I1, to
permit t ree third floor d�aelling units to share one bathroom facilityi

APPEARANCE : Charles S. Mi11er
Richard Koppelman
PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Miller stated that his firm manages this property.
T e appeal involves four basement apartments where the windows in each
of the sleeping rooms are larger than required for use as escape windows ,
but the sill heights are several inches higher than the 48 inches required
by code.
Mr. Glassman suggested putting in a permanent step up toward �each of the
sleeping room windows in the basement units , high enough so that the sills
would be no more than 48 inches above the step level.
Alice Bijjani noted that the escape windows were double-hung, ti�rhich meant
that only half of the window area would be openable in an emergency, but
the window area was larger than the usual basement window.
