Subject REQUEST OF E. R. SAXO~, Lots 5 & 6 Block A, Crestlake
It is~e Zoning Board's recommendationthat the application of Mr. Saxon for a
15' set. back on Grove S~reet be granted for, the reason that ~he size of the
lots in this area makes 'it necessary to have only a 15' set. back in order
to make any reasona&le use of said lo~s.

Gent1emen:
I am writing you at ~he reques~ of Mr. Ed~in &. Saxon, who has recently purChased
Lo~a 5 and 6, Block "An of CrestLake Sub4ivision. Both of t.hese lots presently
fron~ on Gruv,e S~reet, and Lot 5 adjoins Glenwood Avenue.
BeC8lDe' o~ the fact that the presen~ dimensions of these lots do not give adequate
space ~o erect ~wo modern ~a, Mr. Saxon proposes to turn them around so that
they face on G1enwood Avenue. He also plans to ereet two homes, each of which

would face on Glenwood.
It is Mr. Saxon's request that he be permitted to erect a house on the corner
lot with a fifteen foot setback on Grove Street. A setback of twenty f~~e feet
would be observed on Glenwood Avenue in both instances.
Mr. Saxon has prepared and I attach hereto, a sketch showing the locaaion ot
the houses which have already been constructed in this area, and ~ivin~ the
various setbacks which have been observed. You will note that the houDe on
the Northeast corner of Glenwood and Grove has a s~tback of only fifteen feet,
as well as other houses on that side of Grove west of Highl~nd and thus Mr.
Saxon's proposed building would not be inconsistant. Another factor which has
influenced Mr. Saxon in deciding to front both houses on Glenwood is that he
can hereby save a number of oak trees, some of which are quite large and
beautiful, and all of which would have to be destroyed if t he lots were un-
changed and faced on Grove Street.
It is respectfully requested that consideration be given to this request for a
fifteen~ot setback on Grove Street for the lot which will be on the Northwest
corner of Grove Street and Glenwood Avenue.

I am writing you at the request of.' Mr. Edwin R. Saxon, who has r.�ecently purchased
Lots 5 and 6, Block ��A�� of CrestLake Subdivision. Both of these lots presently
front on Gr�ve S�reet, and Lot 5 adjoins Glenv�ood Avenue.
Be.cause� of t he fact tha� the presemt diraensions of t hese lots do not give adequate
space to erect two mod�ern i�o�,sses, Mr. Saxon proposes to turn them araund so that
they face on Glenwood �lvenue. He als� plans to erect two homes, each of whir,h

would face on Glenwoo�.
It is i�Ix�a Saxan's request that he be pErari�ted to erecb a house on the corner
lot wzth a fifteen foot setback an Grove Street. A setback of twentg f�u�e feet
would be observed on �le�wood Avenue in both instances.
A'Ir. Saxon has pregared and Z attach heret�a, a sketch showing the 1ocaQion of
the.houses which h�ve already been constructed in ���is arear and �ivinr �he
variou3 setbacks which have been ohserved. You will note that the house on
the Northeast corner nf Glenwood and Grove has a s�tbackc of only fifteen feet,
as well as other houses on that side af Grove west of High�and and thus Ntr,
Saxon's proposed building would not be inc�nsistent. Another factor which has
influenced iytz�. Saxon in decidinC to front both rause� on Glenwood is that h�
can hereby save a number ef oak trees, some of which are quite large anci
beautiful, and al� of which wou13 have to be des�royed i£ t he lots were un�
changed and face� on Grove Stmeet.
It is respectfully requested that consideration be given to this request for a
fiftieen�oot setback on Grove Street for the lot which will be on the Northwest
corner of Grove Street and Glenwood Avenue.
