I'Alf. Verstraete, ovmer of the built .nF 1ocat-ed at 3519 Vestern Avenue. M'r. Iloomaw
j stated that recently a permit11 2d been. issued to L r. Verstraete to remodel the building
at th.e above location, �hich is irTithin the limits of the set back line established on
I We�stern Avenueq and due to the fact that the',remoc:eling iI not enhance the value
of the build ing in any so that Tacditional damaC-,es might be claimed. at the time of the actual widening° of the street, the A>oa.rd gave instructions to Fr. L oornaw to allow
j t're miner changes to be made at this time. J,ccord in€., to T'=r. ?'-oomaw the remodeling
j consists chiefly in the lovTering of the floor and the excavation for basement in
the f ront part of the I e uildi_ng. `''r,e se than pe s woulr not increase the present value
of the 'building and the permit, Therefore, was allowed to stand as originally issued..
' the Board app roved pe y roll claim for ve ri ous d e-partments in the sl.'it of
U490.58 and, nereby orders City Controller to pay same.
