on the new church construction at 1386 MasF. Ave. which will be 70 ft.,
or 5 ft. over the regulation height for such construction.
At the close of the hearings an executive session was held dur-
ing which the following decisions were reached:
George and Louise Murphy - granted
Mrs. Willens MacDonald - denied
Francis R. Heiligmann - granted
Hans R. Camenzind - denied
James L. Jones - granted
The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints -
during the conversation it developed that he had not included on top of
the steeple the cross and lightning rod so actually should have requested
for a variation of 12 ft. instead of 5 ft. addition. Petition was
granted for 77 ft., or 12 ft. over the regular height for such construc-
tion, it being understood that the main construction of the steeple would
be only 5 ft. over regular height but that the top of the cross and
lightning rod would extend 7 ft. above, thus making a total variation of
12 ft
