Mr. C. R. Gilbreath has requested to build a residence on a lot on East. Maple and Mt. Sequoyah Drive 81 closer to Maple Street than the 25 ft. required by the Zoning Ordinance. The lot is 150' North and South and 1301 East and West. All points of the residence meet within the required footage (251) from property line except the one corner of carport which is 171 from the south line of Maple Street. The matter was discussed.as to whether or not East Maple would ever be opened in the future for public use. All members were of the same opinion that it probably would not be opened. The matter of whether the home across East, Maple from Mr. Gilbreath's would be blocked in any manner was; discussed and it was decided that it would not impair the viesp since the East side would be: 251 • from North Sequoyah Drive and that Mr. Gilbreath was down the hill from Mr. NoUiw. house. Mr. Gilbreath was asked if the house w4 moved back if it, would necessitate to build up the foundation very much and he stated that it would. Although an actual estimate of footage of where the drop of foundation begins could not be given, the building inspector and Mr. Gilbreath said that they would estimate it to be about two or three feet* It was also mentioned that no building would eirer be built in the future to the south or to the west. Mr. Gilbreath stated that he had sever& plans drawn up and the one presented today was the one that he thought would fit this lot the best. Mr. Mc Goodwin suggested that Mr. Lieberenz, the Building Inspector, go to the site and determine the footage where the drop of foundation begins. Mr. Young made a motion that since all members; agreed that they should go to the site and give the matter more consideration that no decision be made at this time and that.a special meeting of the Board be held Friday August 6, 19511, at 3:30 P.M.

Seamster was present in behalf of the Tri Delta Sorority who desires to bui]d onto their present building at N. Oakland and W. Mapel Street. The addition on the west side is 32.81 North and South R 3111 East and West which brings it 201 from the property line on North Oakland Street. It was stated that if the addition was built as close as 201 from Oakland, it would project 141 closer to Oakland than the next house North and 41 closer than the second house North on Oakland Street. Mr. Lieberenz read excerpts from the Zoning V - 2 - 0 Cont'd. Minutes of July 30, 19511 Meeting Ordinance pertaining to this particular problem. Another factor is, that.if the addition is built according to the plan presented, which is 20' fran the property line, it would greatly endangerthe traffic at the intersection of Oakland and Maples a constantly used thoroughfare.. The Chairman requested that the Building Inspector put 20' and 281 stakes out at the site. Since no decision could be met and all members were of the opinion that the matter should be given more consideration, Mr. Carter made a motion to postpone the variation until the special meeting of the Board, which has been set for Friday, August 6, 1954.
