Street and Riverside Dra.v.e. One to be used as a. sing�e farnily .dwelling and one to be converted into an apartrnent building. = At the regular meeting of Planning Commission on Feb. '27, 1950, the Planning Commission unanimously approved a variance to permit con- struction of an apartment on these same lots. However, the plans at that time did not materialize,, and hence this recommendation was n.ot submitted to the council. I have contacted Mr.s. Ben Mason, an adjacent property owner, and she has no objections to the granting of this request for variance. Mrs. Hanson is out of town at present, and therefore, I was unable to obtain her opinion. Mr, Y. Lorenzo, owner of property adjoining on the west, who has a rental on the rear of his property advised that he-objected to the moving in .of old buildings because in his opinion it would adversely a'ffect the value of his � P��'� �� �ropert ,::. .�so, he advised that'he �ia�:.:talked� with.`A�r: Snow and Mr�s. °H zelwood and they also objected.
