Knauft - to legalize and continue a four-family use in a "B" residence district on property located on the north side of Watson Avenue between Bay Street ' and Osceola Avenue which is described as Lot 20, Block 5, Finch's Addition. In 1884 the subject property was developed with the existing structure which was constructed as a double dwelling. At some unknown date the use - of the structure was extended to a four-�amily dwelling which did not ' necessitate the enlargement of the original structure. Because the pro- ' perty is classified as "B" residence which limits it to a two-family use, the applicant must secure Council authorization to continue the use of the ' property as a four-plex. . - � �•L . • . � , _The Board of Zoning heard this request on August 19, 1965. It was reported that there is an off-street parking lot on the site for four cars. It was the Board's finding that inasmuch as the required off-street parking for four cars can be provided off the adjoining alley, that the appeal to continue the- four-family use be granted subject to compliance with the changes set fortli in the Bu�au of Public Buildings and Housing Code Divi- , sion report dated August 3, 1965, a copy of which is attached and subject to the applicant continuing to provide four off-street parking spaces. . � • It is, therefore, the Board of Zoning's recommendation that the use of the � , subject property be �continued as a four-plex for the life of the structure subject to the above conditions._ It is��lso recommended that, should the . Council grant the appeal, that a copy of the resolution be filed with the deed in the Register of Deed's office. , . ' Sincerely, . - �� •_�lC�.�J • . ' NRH/mm ' .- g. N. R.. Hei�len�� Encl.
