Main V/illmore and Howells, as acent for the owner, rwve Hlade 8Tplic:ation to 'uuild an addition, 8n,roxin;8tely 15 ft. by 18 ft.. to the Cottage Cefe, 443 s. l\lein St. This is in Fire Zone No.1. The existing building, to which the addition is f,roposed, is a frame structure but the addition will be of 4 hour fire resistive rating;. In view of the fact that the proposed addition will not increase the fire hazard at this location and will be of General i:nprovement to the Frof'erty. it was moved by Commissioner Healy. seconded by Cor:unissioner Secor. that the Building Insf,9ctor be authorized to issue a rermi t for this construction and the motion was carried b~" the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Mayor Lowe, Corrunissioner Secor and Commissioner Healy; those voting No, none.

Tbis buildinG is located in Fire Zone No. 1. The Commission recessed and looked this structure over on the g;round. After consideration of the fact that this structure is only rartiall~l buH t, that the eXTense of making; it of proper fire resistive rating; would not be prohibitive. end that l-ermitting it to be cOnllleted as a frRme structure would establish an. unsatisfactory rrecedent. it was moved by COITmis- sioner Secor, seconded by Commissioner Healy. that the owners be instructed to remove the rartially buH t frame structure and. if it is rebuilt, to make it conform to the buildin[. regulations and the motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: ti.ose voting Aye being Mayor Lowe.
