12 Un <br />a <br />At 0:00 p.m. hearing was declared open upon the application of ' <br />Clarence L. Cole for permission to erect a garage on the side of his <br />premises located at 50 Prosect Hill Road, and said garage to be 12t <br />in width and to be within 52" of the lot line. <br />Mr. Cole and Mr. Frederick D. Wells, 58 Prospect Hill Road, were. <br />present at the hearing. <br />Notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Nickerson. <br />Mr. Cole presented a drawing and the Chairman asked if the <br />building is partially erected and Mr. Cole said that the foundation <br />and one floor was done in August, 1945• He said that there is a 4' <br />drop from one corner of the lot onto the street. Mr. Cole said that <br />the orikInal plan was to have a garage under the pooch on the back <br />side of the house, but when excavation was started, ledge was an- <br />-countered. He said that the ledge is such that it would be necessary <br />to blast to make a driveway and that his alternative was to go on the <br />side for the garage. To avoid the ledge, he has moved three or four feet <br />from the original line. He said that he had the property surveyed after <br />the foundation was put in and it was exactly 171 from the lot line. He <br />said that the house is so laid out that his problem is to get a garage <br />and kitchen entrance on the side. Mr. Cole said that 101 will be area <br />enough for his garage, but it would not leave an entrance fot the <br />kitchen. <br />The Chairman asked when the lot was laid out and Mr. Cole said <br />that it dated back to the 20's and that it definitely did not come <br />within the scope of the 15r requirements. He said that there were ' <br />originally three 50' lots and he purchased 75t frontage. <br />The Chairman asked if, in coming out of the kitchen, one would <br />go into the garage and Mr. 'Cole replied in the affirmative. He said <br />that the farthest point of the garage will be 22, from the Street line. <br />Mr. Brown asked if there would be a space between the garage and <br />the main building and Mr. Cole replied in the negative. <br />Mr. Redman asked if the garage would be flush against the house <br />and Mr. Cole replied in the affirmative. <br />Mr. Redman asked if Mr. Cole would use cement blocks. He said <br />that he intended to comply with the building requirements and the <br />garage would be fireproof. <br />Mr. Redman asked if the front of the garage would extend beyond <br />the front line of the house and Mr. Cole said that it would extend <br />3' beyond. <br />Mr. Redderick D. Wells said that he objected to the petition <br />because he had purchased the lot in between mainly to prevent crowding <br />of houses in this area. <br />Mr. Redman asked if Mr. Wells thought the garage would damage his <br />lot and he replied that it would be just one step overcoming what he <br />hoped to do. <br />The hearing was declared closed at 9:25 P.M. <br />The Board considered theppptition of Dr. Gutteridge, and the Chair. <br />man read a letter received from William Roger Greeley opposing granting I the petition. <br />Upon motion of Mr. Nickerson, seconded by Mr. Locke, it was <br />
