PUBLIC HEARING
Request for variance in square footage requirement on the following
described property:
Lots 12, 13, ld & 15, Block 1, in the Bowers Park
Subdivision as recorded in Plat Book tl, Page 57,
Palm Beach County Records.
Address: 211 S. E. 3rd Ave. & 316 S. E. 1st St.
Owner: Ward Cummings
Mr. Ward Cummings came forward and explained that he plans to build a
rental unit on the property with 13 units. In so doing, he would have
to build some units on the second floor over carportes. He is re-
questing a 750 sq. ft. variance so that he can increase his first
floor apartments. He stated this would make a more attractive building
because hewould not have to build second story apartments over the
carportes, and also it would be more economical.
Mr. Yates read letters of objection to this request from Mr. Robert
Pulver and PK. John T. King.
Mr. James Valkenaar, 207 S. E. &th St,, came forward and asked more
about the building and what it would look like.
Mr. Cummuings explained that it is a rental apartment similar to the one
at 1st and Ocean and that he is not asking for a zoning change just a
750 sq. ft. variance to increase .the first floor apartments.
