The second and last application to be considered at this meeting was
that of Mrs. We S. Clark who requested a variation to the zoning ordinance
for the use of property located behind 508 & 510 South Duncan Avenue.
This property is located in a Rr3 Multi -Family Residential District.
Harold Lieberenz told the Board members that Mrs. Clark owns an existing
duplex residence on the front part of her 90 x 194 foot lot and now would
like to erect another duplex on the rear part of the lot. Mr. Lieberenz
cited that article and section in the zoning ordinance which gave the
Board of Adjustment authority to approve more than one dwelling on the lot
(Section 3 Group Housing Projects, ARTICLE VI Exceptions and Modifications).
The City Building Inspector pointed out that on the lot in question the
lot area is approximately 17,460 square feet. On a lot of this size the
zoning ordinance will permit one apartment buildipg with 9 apartments, but
the zoning ordinance will not permit two dwellings upon one lot unless
approved by the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Lieberenz stated that if the pro-
posed building were attached to the existing building and complied with the
ordinance in other matters, Mrs. Clarkccould erect the proposed duplex.
Mrs. Clark said there was an approximately fifteen (15) foot wide paved
drive which made a semi -circle around the existing duplex. Mrs. Clark stated
she did not want to connect the duplexes because she wanted to keep the
drive and parking open. She said she planned to live in one of the new
dpaitments.• .
Mr. Lieberenz in reply to a Board memberts question said there would be •
five (5) Parking places provided.
Mr. Schiewetz asked if Mr. Lieberenz had received any objections. The
city inspector said no.
