Mr. Leszczynski advised that a request had been received from Emillie Tjaden, 3423 South St. Joseph Street, at the Board meeting of April 19, 1982, for permission to locate a motor home in her driveway for a 120-day period while rehabilitation work was done on her home damaged by fire on March 26, 1982. The matter had been referred to the Building Department and the Neighborhood Code Enforcement Office for review and recommendation. Mr. Hill explained that a long-term policy has been in existence providing for the review of these types of requests by the Board of Public Works, and, although the Building Department appeared to have no objection to the use of the temporary structure provided all wiring met code requirements, in this particular case, it appeared to constitute a zoning violation under which the Board had no jurisdiction or authority to act. He stated that what was being requested was the equivalent of a zoning variance which would fall under the jurisdiction of the Zoning Board of Appeals. Based on this fact, Mr. Hill made a motion to deny the request. Mr. Kernan seconded the motion and it carried.

Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the purchase agreement was approved and the Legal Department instructed to prepare the necessary quit- claim deed for conveyance of the above property to Mr. Owens.
