NUMBER Encroachment in an Alley in Block 3,
1 16/67 PZ-223 Lawn Place Addition 1 °} —Rug aeA��H
Mr. John B. Kollman, owner of Lot 6, Block 3, Lawn Place Addition, has re- R
quested that an ordinance be adopted permitting the continuance of an en-
croachment into the east-west alley in Block 3, Lawn Place Addition, as
shown on the attached map. Permission to continue the encroachment is needed
to clear the title and to permit the full use of the property.
The encroaching structure is a two-story frame garage-apartment which extends
into the alley 1.7 feet at the rear of Lot 6, Block 3, Lawn Place Addition.
Although the construction of accessory buildings in residential zones as dwel-
ling units has not been permitted since 1948, this building is a legal non-
conforming use for which maintenance and general upkeep are permitted, but no
major alterations are allowed. The ordinance permitting the encroachment would
apply as long as the improvements are in place, but it would not apply to new
structures or major repairs, alterations or additions to the existing structure
The applicant has agreed to remove an existing fence which also encroaches in-
to the alley.
City departments and the private utility companies have reviewed the request
and do not object to the continued encroachment, provided no major repairs,
alterations or additions be made to the encroaching structure.
City Council action on the requested ordinance permitting the encroachment
is requested.
