Mayor and City Council Austin, Teхав Gentlemen: "April 28, 1937 The Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on April 13, 1937, passed the following resolution, which is hereby submitted for your consideration: RESOLUTION, WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms of Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Board of Adjustment for its consideration, a petition from Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Lilienstern for a change in the "Use" District designation of their property located at the northwest corner of Oldham street and 232 Street (formerly Bremond Street) and more fully described as being Lot 8, Block 49, Christian and Fellman Addition, from "A" Residence District to "B" Residence District; and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on April 13 carefully considered the changing of the "Use" District designation of this property, and has viewed the premises and carefully studied the conditions and developments surrounding same and considered this change from all points of view from sound zoning principles; therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: THAT it be recommended to the City Council that the east half of Block 49, in which the above described property is located, and which is now shown on the zoning maps to be an "A" Residence District, be changed from "A" Residence District to "B Residence District for the following reasons: 1. That the original map of the City of Austin shows this block to be subdivided in lote fronting on Oldham Street and Sabine Street, with an alley in the center of the blook running north and south. 2. That when the zoning maps were prepared, the west half was shown as "A" Residence District and the east half was shown as "B" Residence District, the alley being the natural dividing line between the districts. 3. That since the preparing of the Zoning Ordinance this block has been resubdivided so that lots now face on 24th Street and 23 Street, with two lots in the center of the block fronting on Oldham and Sabine Streets respectively, and that the alley has been eliminated. 4. That on account of the resubdivision, the dividing line between the two districts now falls in one of the new lots and there is confusion as to the proper boundary of the respective districts. 5. That to clear up this confusion and indefinite boundary line of the two districts, the entire block should be made one district. 6. That the nature of this property in the character of the neighborhood justifies the designation of the entire block as "B" Residence District, and this designation is therefore recommended to the City Council. Respectfully submitted, Board of Adjustment, By H. F. Kuehne, Chairman.
