storm sewer. The Mayor inquired if there were any objections. The Attorney stated

recommend securing five feet of additional right of way on that side. He estimated
the total cost of the project at $4,528.00 or $4.77 per front foot. He reported that
there was a petition for a sidewalk on the west side which work he estimated would
CQst $1,326.00 or $2.95 per front foot, but the Sidewalk project had not been

Request or Mr. Benjamin White (Lot 7, Block E, LaJolla)
10/12/57
It is the recommendation of the Zoning Board that the request for a fifteen root
set-back on Granada be granted under the hardship ruling, particularly because
Granada is a d~-end street, and the depth of the lots in this area are not too great.
The owner has also stated that the additional reason for wanting this 15' setback is
that there is no sewera~e in the area and he would like a large back yard for a
septic tank, and the 162' rear yard is just about the minimum that he can get a
septic tank in.
Attached hereto is original letter of request with building set-backs and surveyor
lot.
