Present: Mr. John I. Smith, Chairman, Mr. J. F. Robinson, Mr. Tana Schiewetz,
Mr. James A. Pennington, Mr. Harold E. Lieberenz, City Building
Inspector, and Mr. Frank A. Curtis, applicant. Mr. Bert Whitely
and Mr. T. E. Shelton appeared relative to Mr. Curtis' application.
Absent: Mr. George Bowen
The meeting was
called to order by Mr. John
I. Smith,
Chairman. The minutes
were approved as
mailed to the Board members
prior to
the meeting.
The applicant, Mr. Frank A. Curtis, requested permission to enlarge the existing
I.G.A. building.located on North College by building a 19 feet 8 inches by 105
feet 8 inches addition onto the north side. This building is located in a C-2
Thoroughfare Commercial Zone. The proposed addition would be in line with the
existing building and overhang, but the root overhang would be closer to the
College Avenue property line than permitted by the ordinance.
Mr. Shelton expressed his feelings about the possibility of the city ever getting
twelve feet on each side of College. He felt that they might get four more feet
but it does not seem likely that that could hold to the Major Street Plan as
approved by the City Council. Mr. Shelton asked if the building was set back
four feet, would it help the street widening problem.
• Mr. Lieberenz stated that he did not know if setting the building back four more
feet than the existing building would help the street widening program. However,
if the property owners would leave the six feet overhanoff the new section and
also set the main building wall back Your feet farther from the street then the
existing building, the Building Inspector could issue them a building permit
provided that there was no "off -the -street" parking permitted between the new
addition and the street property line.
Mr. Curtis stated his position. He said there would be ample parking space and
that the proposed addition would be no closer to the street than some other
places of business in the neighborhood. The applicant was dismissed as there
was no further discussion.
The Board discussed the problem of street widening and other related subjects
for a while and Mr. Schiewetz made a motion to approve the application. Mr.
Schiewetz had toleavethe meeting before it adjourned and his motion the Yir

After a lengthy discussion and the expression of .some of the members that they
would like to study the problem a. --little more, Mr. Robinson made a motion to
defer action on the application until their next meeting. The motion was seconded.
The Board voted unanimously to approve the deferment.
The June 9 meeting time was changed for the members to meet at 3:00 p.m. because
of the amount of work to be done. The Board decided to make no decisions on the
• applications until after 4:00 p.m. on June 9, 1961. This was decided because the
meeting time was advertised for 4:00 p.m., June 9, 1961. The meeting was adjourned.
