Planning Board minutes.
A recommendation was made by the Planning Board for Council
approval of a request for permit by Mr. Edgar D. Schraub, 1490 N. E. 101st
St. , east 50 ft. of Lot 12 and west 78. 67 of Lot 13, Block 1. M. S. Bay Park
Estates, to add a room on the east side of his home. This addition would
encroach on the 25 ft. front yard setback from the platted street. However,
the street has not been paved as platted resulting in a deeper front yard. A
survey was presented showing that this addition would extend 12 ft. into the
platted front yard. Mr. Claussen moved that the Council grant this request
inasmuch as it is an unusual situation and there is no objection from the
neighbor. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.

tie an existing guest house to the main residence with a screened porch. The
guest house is wood frame with stucco and the proposal is to remove the exist-
ing stucco and apply cedar shingles to a new surface. After a review of the
plan Mr. Jones moved that the action of the Planning Board be approved. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously.
