Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, and Mr. 0. Sam

by motion made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mrs. Johnson and carried.
(1) Mr. Herbert Hirsch, 89 N. E. 109th St., requested permit to build
a house on Lot 24, Block 2, College Heights, which is the lot adjoining his
home, on which there is a swimming pool that was built as part of the entire
property of two lots. In splitting the property the pool will become non-
conforming because of the setbacks on the west side. After discussion Mr. Stobs
moved that the Board recommend a variance for Mr. Hirsch's application, pro-
vided the deck is 42 ft. off the edge of the pool, leaving a 6 ft. setback.
The motion was seconded by Mrs. Johnson and passed unanimously.
