Frances Farris stated she has been opposed to the Variance for more than one year, and the proposed construction, which is a hotel type of apartment, should be delayed until the area can be rezcmed to CD, and North Garnse~ Street is extended from 10th Street to Washington Avenue. Miss Farris presented four petitions with approximately 35 to 40 signatures on each, namely, Property Owner's Protest of Variance Application No. 1450, and requests for the Extension of North Garusey Street, Off-Street Parking Laws in the residential area north of the Civic Center, and Two Garages for Each Apartment.

No. 1465 Ralph H. Raber No. 1450, filed by Paulin Development Ccm~pany granted, subject to conditions. Appeal Application No. 20 of Ralph H. Raber was presented on Variance Application No. 1465, to convert the rear portion of property at 1715 Westwood Avenue, in the R-1 District, into off-street parking for applicant's 17th Street business. Appll~ cant appealed the denial of the Zoning Administrator, requesting the Variance to provide full vehicular circulation through the present parking lot, and to provide more off-street parking space. Ralph H. Raber, 1715 Westwood Avenue, presented a petition with approximatel~v 18 signatures in favor of the Variance. Mr. Raber stated the additional off-street parking would be created through the relocation of a garage on his residential property at 1715 Westwood Avenue, which abuts the tTth Street property to a natural alley, giving clearance on Towner Street for the in and out movement of cars, for a possible restaurant business at llll W. 17th Street. On motion of Councilman Hubbard, secc~ded by Heinly and carried, the peti- tion was received and filed. Mr. C. W. Poore, 2421 French Street and Ra~mond H. Carr, 1027 W. 18th Street, favored the back-yard parking, stating it would be desir~ able for traffic safety on 17th Street, and the proposed fence around the property would be pleasing to the neighborhood in keeping the parked cars out of sight. Ten people stood in protest of the Variance, and Harry Stukan, 1714 No. Towner Street, stated this is an attractive residential area, and his property adjacent to the Raber residence, would no l(mger be desirable property for a home. John Little, 1719 No. Westwood Avenue, said he improved his property, and has had two purchasors for his residence, but cannot go into escrow until this matter is determined. Ed Dunn, 1806 Westwood Avenue, stated that granting this Variance would be the first of a series of encroachments in this residential area. Dr. John B. Hess, 1723 West- wood Avenue, stated his property is one residence removed from the proposed parking~ and was opposed to the restaurant business, also a wall encircling the property. Ernest Wagner, 1718 Westwood Avenue, stated that he lives directly across the street from Mr. Raber and could not see how six or seven parking spaces would provide suf-i ficient parking for a restaurant located on 17th Street. Mr. William B. Taylor, 1815 Westwood Avenue, protested the late hours, lights and noise from transient cars that would be prevalent i n a restaurant operation. On motion of Councilman Brewer, seconded by Hubbard and carried, Appeal Application No. 20, filed by Ralph H.
