Mr. Harry E. Marshall
City Clerk
Roam 386 City Hall
Dear Sir:
This is written in response to the appeal of Mrs. Ruth B. Dahlby
to relax the frontage and area requirements to allow the continued
use of a 3-plex on a site located on the southeast corner of East
Geranium Avenue and Walsh Street. This property is further described
as:
Lot 1, Block 21, Oakville Park Addition 2
This matter was first before the Board of Zoning on December 3, 1970
at which time the Board laid over the matter because there was not
a representative of the appellant at the hearing. The Board of Zoning
again heard this matter on December 17, 1970 at which time the staff
reported that the variances requested involved 20% of the frontage and
29.64% of the area. The staff report noted that the Zoning Board had
recoirnnended denial of lesser variances but also noted that the City
Council rezoned this site in order to allow the existing 3-plex.
The appellant, Mrs. Dahlby, appeared and stated that this structure
was built in 1897 and was remodeled in 1936.
Subsequently, the Board heard a motion to recommend approval of the
appeal. The motion was seconded and carried by a 3 - 1 vote.
Very truly yours,
