The Chairman asked if the garage would still be used and Mr. Thompson replied that it would and that there is room for two cars. The Chairman asked if it was planned to have this dwelling entirely separate from the main house and Mr. Thompson said that it would be entirely separate and not connected in any way with the main house. Mr. Locke asked if the two buildings were connected now. Mrs. Thompson replied that there is a a vestibule from the garage to the back door of the house which could be removed. Mr. Locke asked if there were any regulations as to the amount of money that may be spent in remodeling build- ings and Mrs. Thompson said that she had been unable to learn anything definite pertaining to such regulations. The Chairman asked how much it would cost to make the contemplated alterations and Mr. Cooke replied between $2,000.00 and $3,000.00, including the heating plant and bathroom. Mr. Redman asked about the roof covering and Mr. Cooke replied that the building has a slate roof. The Chairman asked if there were any other persons present who were in favor of granting the petition. Mrs. Jones said that she also has a large garage and would like to have this petition approved. If it were, • then she might consider making some change in her garage. Dr. Cosgrove said that if the proposed single family dwelling were to be entirely separate from the house, he would not object. Mrs. Cosgrove raised the question that if this peti- tion were approved, a precedent might be established. She felt that if several houses on Hancock Street were to have a second house in the rear, such a condition would not in any way be an improvement to the neighborhood. Mrs. Thompson said that the exterior of the building in question would not look any different than it does now. The Chairman asked where the entrancewould be and Mr. Cooke said that an outside stairway in the back would be used. No other persons wishing to �,e heard, the hearing was declared closed at 8:15 P. K. The records of the meeting held on January 7, 1944 were declared approved.
