of public interest.
Mr. Carl Hurst, Director, had made application for a variation from the require-
ments of the zoning regulations for the use of property on California Drive.

and southeast of the present Youth Center building. This property is located in

the property. Publicly owned recreation facilities are permitted in the R-2
zone upon review and approval of the Board of Adjustment.

pool itself will be about 77 feet by 42 feet.

the applicant was dismissed.

The next application considered by the Board was that of Mr. Frank Potts.
Mr. Potts had requested permission to remodel and use a two-story frame
structure for a 4 unit apartment house and small beauty salon. The building is
located at 615 North College Avenue in a C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial District.
Residential use (multi -family) is permitted in the Cpw commercial zone upon
review and approval of the Board of Adjustment provided the residential use
conforms to the area and setback requirements of the R-4 Multi -Family Residential
and Dormitory District.
. Mr. Potts
told
the
Board that
the remodeling would be
on
the interior.
He
explained
that
the
two-story
structure had been used
for
an apartment
house
1
before it was converted to a commercial use when Ruth's Beauty College •
was established. The beauty college has since been relocated as a
larger lot was needed for the school.
The "use" of the property was the only problem as all lot area, setback
and parking requirements could be met for the 4 unit apartment hois e
and the beauty salon. There being no further discussion, the applicant
was dismissed.

Mr. Humphrey Heasty's application was the last one to be given consider-
ation at the meeting.
Mr. Heasty had requested permission to erect a new one-story six -unit
apartment house upon the property located on the north side of South
Street between Church Avenue and Locust Avenue. The property is
located in a R-3 Multi -Family Residential District.
The applicants proposed apartment building would be situated upon a lot
which would be approximately 400 square feet short of the lot area required
for 6 units; the building at its closest point would be 16 feet from the
rear yard (north) property line instead of the 20 feet required by
ordinance; and the off-street parking would be provided in the front
yard rather than in the side or rear yard.
Miss Belle Dinwiddie, architect, was present to answer any questions. •
She pointed out that the lot line on the north was not straight as shown
on the Board's drawing. The closest point of the building to the property
line would be at the northeast corner and at this point the building
would be 16 feet from the rear, yard (north) property line.
There being no further discussion, the applicant was dismissed.
