154 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 13, 1959 residentially zoned lots are not as yet being used for off - street parking purposes. Therefore, you may rest assured that this Department had scrutinized the .plans for said wall for compliance with all Building Code regulations. During construction diligent inspections were made, and it is, therefore, my opinion that the wall in its present condition does not exist as a hazard -.-to the general public. I trust that the above will prove sufficient to answer your inquiry, but if you should have further question, please contact this office. VLL :bb Respectfully Submitted: /s/ Verner L. Lane Verner L.
