FECHTIG'S PLAN REJECTED.
Design Of HIS Proposed Building Is
Not Acceptable.

Mr. c. B. E. Fechtig Of 9O1 Eleventh
Street southeast, recently asked the Dis
trict Commissioners to reconsider his ap-
DlicatiOn for a permit to construct a
store and dwelling on the premises
named.
Mr.. Fechtig states that he had first
presented the plans for the proposed
structure in Jan I9ry, and that at the
suggestion OF the Inspector Of Buildings
they had been revised and again pS.sent-
cd on February ; after which they we're
rejected on the ground that the four-foot
projection Of the bay windows was not
according to the regulations for bust
ness street.
Mr. SnOWdeE Ashford. the Inspector Of
Buildings, has submitted a report upon
the matter in which he shows that the
plans are cC-traTy to the building regu-
lations. and he states that he cannot ap-
prove them.
Captain Chester Harding recommends
that the applicant be informed that the
schedule for the projection Of bay win
dows on business streets is limited TO
three feet, and that the EleventS Street
southeast is the vicinity Of the premises
OF Mr.. Fechtg has been classed as a
business street by the Commissioners.
