Owner has buyer for property , and closing is contingent on furnish- ing a certificate . Prior Hearing 5/13/80 : Case continued to June meeting. APPEARANCE : Greg Vannelli Alice Bij j ani PROCEEDINGS: P�r. Vannelli said that light and ventilation requirements for t e two third floor bedrooms would cost about $800 . He said he had already spent $6 ,000 to comply with code rec{uirements . Alice Bijjani distributed a rough sketch of the layout of the third floor , noting that in each bedroom the windows supplied only about one-third of t}ie IiQht and ventilation the code required. She �ointed out that one of the roor�s had a substantial area of dead space that was partially walled ofi. Ii= this spa.ce was closed off from the main area, light and ventil.a- tian :�. the remaining area would come much closer to the required sc�uare �ootage . BOaRD ACTlON: Mr. Tieso -moved to grant a waiver of lighting and ventila- t�on requirements in one third floor hedroom on condition that a partially- close� off area be completely closed off except for a doorway, and on con- dition that the remaining bedroom be provided with a window which complies ��ith code requirements for light and ventilation.

STAFF PRESENT: Patricia Moxness � -5- 6/10/80 - Meeting No. 162 an examination of the permits showed that they specifically prohibited the addition of these two units . She said these matters would be the concern of the Zoning Board, however, in determining the number of units that could legally be operated. Ms . Bijjani stated that the only problem before this board was the situation of Apt. #SC, where the shower was located outside of the walls of the dwelling unit, and was shared with the sleeping room, Apt. #5 West. If the Zoning Board should order a reduction in the number af units , the problem would resolve itself, because there would then be sufficient bath facilities for the remaining units . BOARD ACTION : Mr. Glassman moved to grant a variance of Section 54. 11, to permit occup ancy of Apt. #5C where the shower is located outside the walls of the unit. Mrs .

Werneke (8 units - 1 office) SUBJECT: Request variance of Section 54. 11, pertaining to requirement of bat— i�roYom facilities within walls of dwelling units , to permit shared baths , because "apartments were constructed in their present manner in 1964 ," many years prior to appellant' s purchase in 1979 . APPEARANCE : Dennis J. �Verneke A1ice Bij j ani PROCEEDINGS : Ms . Bijjani stated that the appellant' s contention that the present number of apartments in operation was a situation a.n existence since 1964 was untrue , so the recent expansion of the buil.ding was a vio- lation of the zoning code . Expansion occurred in the creation of Apts . #6 and #7. The city had received a letter from Mr. Werneke ' s father stating that the aQartments had been put in in 1965 with permits , but 6/10/80 - Meeting No. 162 � • � �`��,��:� MINUTES OF THE MEETING ST.

However, he was advised that a varian�e was necessary because the unit was more than 50o below grade . Ms . Bijjani asked the board, if it considered granting a variance , to put conditions on it that would have the effect of correcting any possible hazard� that are not specifically listed in the 1aw, such as in this situation. , where there is a wall separating the apartment from the heating plant that should be finished with one hour fire retardant materials . There should also be a one h.our fire retardant wall between the furnace area and the pathway leading outside .

Alice Bi;ja.ni recom�,.�nd�d that the best solution was to open up the l.iving room area to �he inside bedre�om adjoining it , and to use it as a combination i�vi.ng roal.t- di.nin� ro�m. This would make the unit a one-bedroom apartment , �.nstead of �wo, but it wot.1�. malce a much more desirable place to live. She me1�-tioned the danger of such a lacativn far a beciroom irx case of fire. Such a �.onversi.on would involv� extensive work, but the city would be �ailling to grant arlple time to complete the project . yir.
