The notice of the hearing was read by Clerk Robbins. Mr. Nottebart said that the house had been used for two families since 1922, with the exception of the last five years. There are two back and two front entrances, and one front hall for each apartment. He said he planned to tear down eight rooms and build six new onelo. The Chairman asked how many rooms there were now, and he informed him that there were thirteen. Mr. Nottebart had no plans with him. The Chairman asked if the exterior would be changed. Nottebart said that the foundation would be the same, and there would be practically no change in the front of the hous e Mr. Glynn asked who was going to live in the house, and he said that his son was. Mr. Longbottom said that Mr. Nottebart came to him six months ago and said he had a double house and wanted to remodel it, and he thought it would be all right. The man came in a short while ago with his plans, and Long - bottom went over there. His records show that in 1922 Nottebart appliedto change the house into a double house, and added on five rooms and a bath. In order to get up the front stairs of the old part of the house, they had to go through Nottebartts living room. Mr. Longbottom told the man he thought he would have to have a Board of Appeals hearing. Mr. Nottebart's son 'had been living in the house, but moved out because he thought it was danger- ous, and Longbottom agreed with him. The Chairman asked if the house would look like a two family house, and Nottebart said that there would be two front doors, but there are now. Longbottom said that he had seen the plans, and it did not look very much dif- ferent from the front, but there would be two good baths hwAKII rX1 1 1
