JOSEPH R. OKONESKI,
(August 30, 1958) City Clerk.,
Dear Sir:
This is in the matter of Kenneth J. Johnson for a permit to establish a new
building line on property located adjacent to the northeast corner of Birming-
bam Street and York'Avenue. This property is described as the westerly 50'
of both lots 13 and•14; Block 2; Fairchild's Rearrangement of Lots 8 15 in-
elusive of Block 11, Cruicksbanks Garden Lots.. This property has been zoned
'W' Residence since 1922.
The propeity under consideration has a frontage of 50' along York Avenue and
127' *along Birmingham Street. Under the existing platting, the set back requite-
ments are 36' from Birmingham Street and 6' from York Avenue. The applicant
proposes to construct a single family home on this, property set back 22' from
Birmingham Street•and 30' from York Avenue.
A petition favorable'to the.,proposed development signed by the one property
owner to the north has been filed.
The adjacent land uses are as follows: east and adjacent are two single family
residences fronting,on York Avenue; to..the south are single family residences
one fronting on York Avenue and the other on Birmingham Street; to the north and
west is vacant land.
The proposed home will be set back in line with the two existing residences
the east on York Avenue. The Board of.Zoning finds that the strict application
of the present set-back requirements from York Avenue results in practical
difficulties in the development of thi's property, and that the proposed.use and
change in the building line, if granted, will not be materially detrimental to
the adjacent property.
In consideration of these factors and the favorable sentiment of the property
owner-to the north, the Board of Zoning recommends that a 22' building line
on Birmingham Street for lot 13 and the south 101 of Lot 14, and that a 301
building line for Lot 13 along York Avenue be established in accordance with..-.
the applicant's letter dated August 15, 1958.
Sincerely,

I respectfully submit for your approval the attached petition
and proposed plot plan. The property lies at York St. and
Birmingham the North side of York St. I purchased the property
intending to set back 30ft. from York St.. and 8ft.. from
{ Birmingham St.. The building line on York St. is 30ft, back
at the present time. The City Code specified a 30ft. set back
from the street according to the original plot.. This request
is fo1r, a royal according to Article 3, ;Section 16, Appendix
paragraph nd I of the Zoning Ordinance.
Land in question covers an areal of 6350sq..ft.. I believe the
interests of everybody will. be better served if building is
allowed here, the land would lie useless otherwise and a
loss incurred to me of $1400..00.. I would �appre ciate your
approval.
