Marshall City Clerk Room 386 City Hall Dear Sir: This is written in response to the appeal of John Jackson to relax the area requirements for a duplex, on property located on the north side of Nortonia Avenue between Reaney and Bush Avenues. This property is further described as: Lot 24, Block 21, Beaver Lake Heights. This matter was heard by the Board of Zoning on May 6, 1971, at which time the staff reported that a duplex exists on the subject property which is 31 1/3% short in the area required for a duplex in an "A" Residence District. The staff said that it would appear there is not enough room to provide the amount of parking required for a duplex. The staff acknowledged receipt of letters in opposition to the appeal. A representative of the appellant said the structure was converted in 1941 and would like to legalize its existence in order to sell it under a Veterans Administration loan. The Board heard a motion to recommend denial on the grounds that the variance is too great. The seconding motion noted the single- family home character of the community and the apparent lack of parking space necessary for two families. The motion passed by a vote of 5-0.
