On Interesting Point
Courts Ruling That Incomplete

Building of Second One

Justice Greenbaum, in supporting
the stand taken by John P. Leo. chair
man OF the Board OF Appeals, relative
20 the building OF garage at to 8
west ll5th Street, classified as busi-
ness district on the zone restriction
map. rendered decision which clari-

mas n been more or less troublesome
opposite the 115th Street site on
which permission to build a garage
was asked is an incompleted structure
planned as a garage and started about
thrce years ago. The operation has
not been advanced beyond the second
story
In support of their claim the plan
ners OF the second garage point to
the reading of Section Of the build

an existing garage. Since this garage
opposite was started before the reso-
luton went into effect interests in the
second garage argued that the Board
OF Appeals had no other course but
TO remove the restraint placed on the
projected Improvement by the Build
ing department superintendent. Five
members OF the board voted TO grant
permission. Chairman Leo voted against
PERMISSION, because he said that there
was no existing garage in the block.
He said that garage started and left
incomplete for three years could not
be construed under the meaning of

explained.
The case was brought into court by
an adjoining owner, since the limita-

Appeals in the action had been reached
Justice Greenbaum heard the case and
agreed with Mr.. Leo's Interpretation
OF the meaning of exists" on which
depended the building of garage at
