Mr. Miller, 265 N. ➢ .92nd PVF . , appeared before the Council and
complained about a number of defects in his new home of less than a year
old which he purchased from Mr. O'Dell. He said Mr. O'Dell would not Tight

Mr. Ward, 273 N.W. 92nd St. , appeared in person and also made complaint':
about his new home purchased. from Mr. O'Dell being defective. The Mayor
asked him to write a letter stating his complaints and then same could
E
be taken up by the Council in proper form. Mr. `lard also complained. about
Mr. O'Dell not moving materials etc. from a lot next to him.
Mr. Marion Arnold, 502 N. E. 101st St. , asked the Council if, instead
of running the line in the middle of 101st Street between 4th Avenue and
6th Avenue and restricting the South side of 101st Street to 20,000 cu. ft.
and the other side of 101st St. 18,500 cu. ft. , to extend the 2 ,000
restriction to the alley of Blocks 91 and 94, so that both sides of the
street would be alike. The Council assured Mr. Arnold that they would give
his request due consideration.
As this meeting was called for the purpose of considering the
Recommendations of the Planning Board for raising the cubicle contents
f throughout the Village, Mr. Milledge stated that he needed more time to
investigate the different zones and as this was the responsibility of the
Council and not of the Planning Board he thought there should be plenty of
thought given to this by the Council in order not to have to do this all
over again in a few months. Mr. Lfilledge said that if he passed on these
recommendations at this time he would be doing a lot of guessing as he was
not sure that these proposals were what he wanted to vote on.
Mr. Stockdell stated that he was not in the mood to accept these
recommendations as he though? a price should be tied in with the cubic foot
restrictions.
The possibility of using a sq. ft. basis in connection with the cu. ft.
basis, or using the sq. ft. instead of the cu. ft. was discussed.
It was brouglt out that other cities that had used the price restrictionE
had abandoned same.
Mr. Pruitt brought out that the Planning Board had made a study of the
zoning restrictions for four or five years and understood same and were
more experienced in this line than the Council but he thougb1 the Council
should consider Mr. Wheeler' s case and some of the others.
Then Mr. Milledge talked about the area around the College being in
a different category and was in favor of getting this restricted as high
as possible in this district.
Mr. Pruitt thought it would be well to run all East and West lines
through the alleys.
Mr. Milledge was of the opinion that it would be a good idea to
find out the cubic contents of all the present houses in each area and
use the average cub® in arriving at a restriction for each particular area.
Mr. Lindsey suggested that each councilman take copies of the zoning
ordinance, and maps and work out his own idea, then have a meeting,
and should the ideas vary same Gean-" always be reconciled and then acted
upon.
Upon motion made by Mr. Stockdell and seconded by Mr. Pruitt, meeting
was adjourned until Monday, August 7th, 5:00 P . M.
