After roll call, the Secretary read Minutes of the meeting held
May 12, 1952, and they were approved as corrected. The Chairman
stated the purpose of the meeting was to continue the hearing on
the L,,;iication for variation made by Mr. G. Henbest to construct
a one -family dwelling on the northwest corner of York and Leverett
Streets three feet closer to York Street than the"C:' Residential
'Lone specifies.
The City Engineer explained that Mr. Henbest's application for a
building permit was for a 24 x 26 single damily dwelling at 808
West York to be placed twelve feet from York Street in order to
save two shade trees. He stated that granting such permit would
not change the character of the neighborhood in that nearpy dwell-
ings are closer than twelve feet to York.Street mainly because of
the fall in sewer system.
Mr. Henbest stated the value of the house to be constructed would
be $2500.00 and would be rental property. He informed the Board
that no one had voiced any objection to his placing the house
twelve feet from York Street.
In considering the request the question was raised as to the ob-
struction of motorists' view coming down Leverett Street. Although
York is not a heavily trafficked Street at present the Board con-
sidered it might be if and when it was extended across the railroad.
Three of the four members of the Board prsent had viewed the site
and Mr. Henbest, stated upon their question, that he would not place
any shrubs which might obstruct the view on the corner of the property.
Mr.
Lewis moved

The Secretary was requested to inform the newspaper that all re -
applications for variations would be heard only at future monthly
regularly scheduled meetings and asked that the Engineer's
office also be so informed.
