inside and out, and also enclose an existing porch to make it part of- the

use. shall be enlarged or increased, nor extended to occupy a greater area
land than was occupied at the effective date:of this ordinance."A motion
was made by Dykes ; seconded by Foster, that enclosing the porch'did not
occupy a greater area of land. All members voted to grant the .permit. •.
The second order of business was a� reguest from Brown and Root to erect
temporary buildings,•on the Bales Nursery property while they did the necessary
work under their contract to lay pipe and pave 518 (Friendswood Drive) in the

The Chairman, Mrs, Fossler, then opened a discussion on what is meant by a
Temporary Certificate of Zoning Compliance and where the Board of Adjustment
'has jurisdiction on such applications. After considerable discussion it
was agreed that the Board of Adjustment rulings should not be based on they
type of buildings to be erected but rather on the uses to which the land was ;
,to be put as spelled out on pages 19, 20 and 21 of Ordinance Number 174. ,
The Administrative Official who issues building permits shall make all
decisions regarding structures to be erected on a Temporary Certificate as
to compliance with the Building Code. , All members present agreed "that this
was the guideline which would be used on future applications for,Temporary
Certificates.
Mrs. Fossler requested that an Alternate Chairman be elected on,our
Board, who would conduct meetings at which she could not be present.
Mr. Bruce Foster was elected Alternate Chairman. r
