<br />
<br />Honorable 0ity Council, "July 27, 1926.
<br />~Por tsmouth, Va.
<br />
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />
<br /> Mr. J. T. Bannister and others request that saw mills and wood working establishments
<br />be added to the list of industries for which sites must be approved by the 0ounctl before erection.
<br />It is recommended that this request be approved.
<br />
<br /> Er. Bann/ster also calls attention to the fact t~t by m~king the limits apply to
<br />the block in which the prohibited structure is situated rather than to the area withl~'~ certain
<br />distance of this structume does not give protection to owners in rear of structures in question.
<br />
<br /> It may be well therefore to substitute a limited area of 200 ft. in radius for the
<br />block as defined. In this case, the para,nh following the list of structttres would read as
<br />follows:
<br /> ' ~here such structures ame proposed to be erected or altered.and the majority of
<br /> the buildings already erected within a radius of 200 ft. of said structures are
<br /> residences, apartment houses, churches or libraries or if such area is a strictly
<br /> resideatial sect~o~ thcug~ not occu~ied by but±dinEs, the applicant will secure
<br /> ~he b6~sent of the propermy owners ~mmediately adjoining the site on which the
<br /> proposed struc$~re is to be erected, altered or operated and the -~%t~ther consent
<br /> of the owners of two-thirds of the_ lots within a radius of 200 ft. of the proposed
<br /> structure; provided, however, the restrictions herein name~shall not apply to
<br /> private garages erected on the rear half of any lot so long as~ the ge~r~ge or gar-
<br /> ages so erected do not front directly within six ft. of the street or within five
<br /> ft. of any dwelling on an adjoining lotwithout the consent of the owner of sa/d
<br /> ~e~l~.n~.~ if the ~rop~r~y in qu~stiop %s a corner lot. Garages erected in connec-
<br /> tion wl~n aa apar~menm house an~ renmed generally to occupaats o~ said apartment
<br /> shall be classed as private garages. Provided, further, this orainance ~hall not
<br /> apply to any prohibited structures already erected or in operation, or under con-
<br /> tract or in course of erection.,
<br />
<br /> The next paragraph of the ordinance definLng a block could be omitted.
<br />
<br />Yours truly,
<br />
<br /> J. P. Jervey, City Manager°#
