WHEN WE CAME TO EUGENE AT THE CLOSE Of WORLD WAR I I HOUSING WAS' AT A PREMIUM AND WE DID THE BEST WE COULD AS OTHERS DID. WE BUILT A SMALL HOUSE AT THE REAR Of THE LOT WITH THE INTENTION Of LIVING IN IT A YEAR OR TWO AT MOST WHILE PLANS'SHOULD MATERIALIZE fOR THE HOUSE WE'WANTED. If THE BUILDING CODE AT THAT TIME DID NOT SPECifiCALLY PERMIT .. " THAT MUCH BUILDING ON ONE LOT THE CITY fOLLOWED A POLICY Of LENIENcr':WHICH WE' RELIED , ON THEN. THE SAME WAS TRUE Of THE LOT JOINING ON THE NORTH. WE NOW PETITION FOR A WAIVER Of THE RESTRICTION WHICH LIMITS aNE HOUSE T 0 A. LOT. THE HOUSE WE PLAN TO BUILD WILL BE 30' X 40', GIVE OR TAKE A LITTLE. 'IT COULD EXCEED THAT SIZE' BY SOME fEET AND STILL S~AY WITkiN THE LIMIT'Of ONE-THIRD COVERAGE. IT WOULD COST NOT LESS THAN $12,000.00 TO BUILD AT THE MOST CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE. THE HOUSE AT 2357t IS 241 X 26' AND THE GARAGE IS 14" X 22' MAKING A TOTAL COVER- I AGE Of 932 SQUARE fEET. THAT LEAVES A LIMIT PER THE CODE OF 2,197 SQUARE fEET THAT I " COULD STILL BE COVERED. THE PROPOSED HOUSE WOULD COVER ~ MINIMUM Of 1,200 AND CERTAINLY I 'I i NO MORE THAN I , 400. GARAGE" WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE BASEMENT. You WI LL NOTE' fROM THE SKETCH THAT A 91 EXTREME CONCRETE DRIVEWAY RUNS ALONG THE NORTH EDGE TO THE GARAGE. THIS DRIVEWAy'W,lLL CONTiNUE TO SERVE THE SMALL HOUSE AND GARAGE. IT IS CONTEMPLATED THAT THE NEIGHBOR ON THE NORTH WILL NECESSARILY PWOV1DE I A SIMILAR STRIP JOINING IT SO fiRE TRUCKS WOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE USING IT. THE DRIVE- WAY TO THE NEW HOUSE WOULD BE COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT INASMUCH AS THE GARAGE WOULD BE IN THE BASEMENT - STRAIGHT IN fROM THE STREET. e OUR ,MOll VES IN REQUESTING THIS WAIVER ARE ESSENTIALLY SELfiSH, Of' COURSE. OUR fAMILY HAS OUTGROWN ITS QUARTERS. THERE ARE fIVE Of US AND THE LITTLE HOUSE JUST I SN'T THAT BI'G. ON TH~ OTHER HAND, EUGENE ~~ULDN'T LOSE ANYTHING EITHER SINCE IT WOULD MEAN THAT MUCH MORE TAXABLE PROPERTY ON THE ROLLS. T~E LOT WOULD UNQUESTIONABLY BE IMPROVED - I T LOOKS E~TY NOW."
