Cleveland Avenue appeared before the Council regarding a change in set back on Lot 16, Sunset View Addition. Hammersten reported that Mrs. Gill, who took out the permit, stated the house was to face Cleveland and some neighbors are complainingabout being too close to Eldridge. After a lot of discussion, Willmus moved, seconded by Carlson, that Mr. Mankowski go ahead and complete the house and garage providing that no part of the building be built closer than 20 feet to Eldridge. Roll call Ayes-(5) Nayes-(O). Discussion was held on set backs and how to control it on corner lots. Willmus suggested we request people to deed restrict their property. Tony Schmidt said we have not had too much trouble on the above score and the case in question was an exception. Haglund spoke about the regulation saying no waste carryb.g nipe can be closer to water pipes than 20 feet and that he has been asked to sign FHA papers accordingly which he knows cannot be done in a lot of cases on account of the small homes. He also told of a contaminated well that he had looked at on r'ernwood near County ~i.oad "B". The question of making changes in the Building Code was brought up and Carley told of the original drafting of same by the committee years ago and the criticism they received at that time. Fault was found with practically every paragraph. Carley has prepared a typewritten copy of our code leaving spaces under each paragraph for the changes the committee feels should be incorporated. Several changes were suggested by various members and it was suggested a committee consisting of Connor, Carley, Schmidt and Haglund go over the code and make their recommendations to the council at a later meeting. Surface water drainage was discussed. Willmus told of how the water used to run from Fernwood and Burke then to Skillman and stood in a low spot back of the St. Rose Church; then it continued down to Shryer and Draper Streets to a low spot which has now been filled in by Ray I Bill NSP Co. for street repairs. 2074 N.
