Councilman Farrington, Chairman of the Finance Conwittee, brought up the matter of a recent petition protesting the construction of an apartment house on 10th Street between Jefferson and Madison Streets. Councilman Farrington stated he believed the council had acted a little hastily in the matter of denying the property bwner in that location the right to build a four-apartment house because before the aand was purchased Mr. E. Kaufholz called at the City Engineer's office and was f ~ssured that the apartment house could be built providing the zoning was changed I ~o include that part of the lot. Then at a council meeting the zoning was changed ~nd Mr. Kaufholz secured permission to proceed with the building. He then completed Fhe land purChase, prepared the plans, and let his contracts. At a later meeting, ~he council, upon being presented with the petition, reversed its opinion and denied Mr. Kaufholz a permit for such a construction on this lot. Mr. Clubb explained ~hat the understanding of the Board of Appeals when the request was made for Changing the zoning, was that ~uplex houses would be built there. After a brief discussion ~otion was made, seconded and approved by the council, instructing ~he Ci~y.Engineer I ~o issue a building permit for a four-apartment house at that locat~on and ~t was 4t. so ordered.
