M., Miller at 1791 Alder Street, was present and asked for a modifi- cation of the set-back on a lot at the southwest corner of 18th and Alder Streets. He explained he had recently purchased this lot and had expected to build two houses on, it. He stated that the set-back requirements from Alder Street were thirty feet and that he had planned a building 42 feet long and this set-back would bring the building back so far as to almost prohibit a second building on the back of the lot. He asked thGt he be allowed to set-back not less than 22 feet from Alder Street. He stated he had ,not had an 9Pportunity to bring this before the Board Of Appeals. Councilman Barette had been with the three members of the Finance Committee during the afternoon looking over the property offers and stated they had viewed this ~ituation of Mr. Miller's. It was Mr. Barette's and the three members of the Finane Committee's recommendation that the set-back line of thirty feet should not be changed. It was suggested that this matter should be taken to the. Board of Appeals before the council acted upon it. Mr. Farrington thought it would be better for the council to render a deaisionat this time rather than have the matter go to the Board of Appeals and then be turned down at a later date. A motion by Barette and 5 seconded by Farrington that this request be denied, was carried. ~r. A. E.
