Upon motion of Mr. Locke, seconded by Mr. Lombard, it was unanimously voted to grant the hunroe petition in the following form: � I* .37 Mr. Weene said that these houses would not be considered eligible had they been singles, as this is a two-family zone. He said that he was required by the F. H. A. to build a two- family house - either a duplex, or one with an upstairs and a downstairs. The exterior of the house is the same as a single residence, and has a single entrance. The subdivision is in theory, only. The Chairman asked if the lots were to be recorded separately, and Mr. Weene replied in the affirmative. The Chairman said that as soon as they are recorded, they become two separate properties. He asked what would prevent, in the h future, the sale of any one of the smaller sub -divisions with its portion of the house on it. Mr. Weene said that this would be prevented only because of an economic point of view. He said that he had never known of duplex houses being sold in separate units. Post houses of this sort are owned by a corporation, and this is a corp- oration. He is the corporation. He said that he was going to be very particular about the class of people he allowed in the apartments. The Chairman said that if these became separate proper- ties, then they could be sold as individual units. The lots will be definitely sub -divided and recorded. Mr. Weene said that they would be, but with the restriction that one unit would be built on two lots. Mr. Weene said that if his petition was granted, he had a builder ready to go right ahead - he has his materials and labor, etc. The Chairman asked if Mr. Weene would continue to own the houses, and he replied in the affirmative. No other persons appeared in favor of the granting of the petition. Mr. Buttrick asked what would hap)en to the Right of Way near the old Spaulding property, and Mr. Weene said that there was a Right of Way from Spencer Street, but not from Mass. Ave. The Chairman asked Mr. Buttrick if his interest was to find out if the Right of Way was to remain there, and he said that it was. He said it was all right the way it appeared on the plan. The Chairman asked if he had any objection, and he replied in the negative. Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Kelley said that they merely were looking for information, and had no objection. No other persons desiring to be heard, the hearing was declared closed at 9:15 P. M. The group retired.
