approve BAR-92-43 was not contrary to the law and their action was not arbitrary or an abuse of
discretion. The Council further finds that a driveway entrance at 13 Wirt Street will not detract from the
Old and Historic District and a driveway entrance will contribute toward minimizing street congestion by
providing a safe and convenient parking space for the resident at 13 Wirt Street.
