The property was subdivided as Lots 9 & 10, Block 4 of the Westlawn Addition
Subdivision in May, 1920.
2. Purpose of the Subdivision:
The purpose for the Balzers Subdivision is to create 2 legally subdivided lots on
portions of properties that presently are two lots. The replat will create 2 lots, with
the one fronting on South Loomis Street (Lot 2) being 7,802 square feet in size
and the one fronting on an alley (Lot 1) being 5,308 square feet in size. The
