<br />them it could be done. When I looked .up the location of-the property on the land book and Mr. Trogdon asked if
<br />this was the same piece of property that they wished to make two-family and this came to light, the permit was
<br />again denied. Mr. Smith filed application to rezone the prop~r.~y.. Mr. Smith nor his contractor were ever told
<br />by anyone in this office that any work could be done without a permit. ~f any. further. ,, information is needed or
<br />desired, I will be most happy to supply it. Signed B S Trent, Building Official.
<br /> "This petition is in regard to the request of NLr. Wesley E ~mith for permission to
<br />convert the old house located at 1719 Leckie Street from a single dwelling To a duplex apartment. This request wi
<br />denied him by the Zoning Board.
<br /> The undersigned property o~ers, directly across the street from this old relic
<br />of _ by-gone days, are very much concerned about the matter. We have been looking at this architectural monstros-
<br />ity for over 25 years, and now the chance to remodel and beautify it has been turned
<br /> We feel the improvement Mr. ~mith desires to make, at considerable expense, will
<br />not onl~ e~_t%%/lce the value of property on this block, but will give the entire West Park View section a decided
<br />lifs, as it is one of the first houses seen entering West Park View over the Shes Terrace brid~e.
<br /> Your petitioners would therefore ask that your honors would view the house, and
<br />see for yourselves j.ust what an eyesore it presents. Then we are sure it will be the pleasure of the Council
<br />grant Mr. Smith's request, and permit him to go ahead with this property improvement.
