Planning Board minutes.
At the last Planning Board meeting Miss Elsie Baioff, 336 N. E.
98th Street, was denied permit to add toilet facilities in a non-conforming accessory
building because of existing sub-standard construction, plumbing and electrical
service. Miss Baioff appeared before the Council to appeal this decision and
presented a letter in her defense, accusing her neighbors of various zoning
violations and petty insults. It was pointed out to Miss Baioff that if she wished
to bring this building up to code she could make a new application showing proper
reconstruction, plumbing and electrical work. After further discussion Mr. Lund
moved that the Council deny the appeal and uphold action of the Planning Board
at this time. Motion was seconded by Mr. Clement and passed unanimously.
