Development Company to establish a 12 foot setback from Morgan Avenue for property located on -the south side of said street between Davern Avenue and Edgcumbe Road. 'The property is described as all lots 1 thru 10 and vac..alley adj. said lots the south and east 1/2 of vac. alley adj. lot 10 on west, all in Blk. Grandport Add; all of Lots 6 thru 14 & vac. alley adj. said lots'on the south, Block 4, Granport Add. also that part of vacated S. Wheeler St. ;lying between, Lot 1, Block 3 and Lot 14, Block 4, Granport Add. The subject property.was reclassified to a "C" residence district in November 1960. The site is developed with five 17 -unit apartment buildings and one "23 -unit multi - family structure for a total of 108 aparment units. There-iss an off - street parking lot along the Morgan Avenue frontage with a capacity for 108 cars. The plans-' -this development were approved by the Council in June, 1962. The applicant proposes to construct 108 garage stalls to replace the existing 108 open lot parking spaces which would be erected at the same location. The present setback previously established by the Council on the south side of Morgan Avenue is 24 feet. The applicant is appealing this setback under the provision of Section 64.03 of the Zoning Code to establish a 12 foot setback. The subject property has a frontage of approximately 871.4 feet along the south side of Morgan Avenue and extends to a depth of 138.84 feet resulting in a total area of approximately 120,986 square feet. East and adjoining- subject property-is vacant land classified "C" residence; north and across Morgan Avenue are four single - family homes fronting on said street and several vacant lots classified "A" residence; west and adjoining is a tract being developed with an apartment building, north and across St. Paul Avenue is the Jewish Community Center building. The Board of Zoning considered the matter at its October 10, 1963 meeting and recommends approval of the appeal to establish a 12 foot setback on the above- described property subject to the garages being faced with redwood and that screen planting be installed in .the 12 foot setback from Morgan Avenue.

We feel that the garages Will be an addition to our property and will add to the overall appearance of our project. In order to accomplish this it will be necessary to change the building setback line on Morgan Avenue from the present 24 foot setback established by the Council to a 12 foot setback. You will find attached a print showing the proposed location of the garages together with property descriptions and drawings. It will be our inteb --.ion to eventually have garages in all spaces now reserved for parking.

Development Company for appeal to establish 12 foot setback from Morgan Avenue I have been advised by my client, Ben Specktor, that a public hearing will be held on the above matter on November 21, 1963. As I am unable to appear before the council on that date in opposition to the application, I would like to take this oppor- tunity to express the views of my client on this application. My client is the owner of Lots 6, 7, 8, and 9, Block 2, Granport, which lots lie on the north side of Morgan Avenue in the block east of Edgcumbe. He and the other property owners in this area oppose the application of Bisanz because in effect it will con- vert Morgan Avenue into an alley as it is our understanding that the proposed garages will extend for .a• distance of almost two rather lengthy blocks and will devaluate the property lying to the north on Morgan. As we understand it, the garages will, because of the proposed construction, appear as a jail -like structure ex- tending over the two block area. It seems to us rather unusual to permit such construction when it faces directly onto a street, and we would only hope that the council will give this matter very serious consideration and consider very carefully the precedent that would be established in creating such a monstrosity fronting on a public street.

We, the undersigned homeowners, will not protest this reduction of zoning requirements per above appeal on this condition: That granting reduced setbacks along the South side of Morgan Ave. will not make it impossible for year -round screening of garages and parking area by fir trees provision of which was previously promised by Mr.,Leonard Bisanz. When adjacent homeowners were in- formed that large parking areas instead of apartment fronts would line the South side of Morgan Avenue Mr. Leonard Bisanz promised this area would have attractive year -round screening (for at least the Western half of the mentioned area as he said he could not speak for his brothers.). He as receWly as Thursday, November 14, 1963, reiterated this promise to one of the undersigned. If the present unsightliness of the said area is adequately screened, the affected homeowners feel it is a moot question whether minimum zoning requirements are maintained. Unfortunately it seems that only well planned landscaping by Bisanz Bans, Development Co. can save Morgan Avenue from an alley appearance and protect adjacent homeowners from further property depreciation. Our protests are therefore, allayed on the basis of Mr. Leonard Bisanz' assurances that he will effect such landscaping. Undersigned cc: Bisanz ros. Develop nt Co. cc: James J.
