Mr. Lambert says he is advised the enginecr department is of the opinion that consent of the owners of 75 per cent of the surrounding property is not required because of a pru\'la{un of the zoning law which says that such signatures are not needed where there ix a legally established garage within thirty-five feet of the proposed structure.
