The garage was to be under the house and the entrance to the garage was to be on .Lincoln Street. The regular I set-back as designated by the building inspector did not give him enough room and he asked the council if he might be permitted to extend the. garage out four feet farther than the set-back designated by the building inspector. This would place the garage about 11 feet from the lot line. Mr. Garrett explained that he owned a strip of ground 75 feet on 23rd and running back North 180 feet on Lincoln Street. There was no sidewalk North of 23rd on Lincoln and, he did not believe that there would ever be a sidewalk placed there.
