David F. Anderson (of Berl, Potter & Anderson), Wilmington, for J. Frank Darling, appellee.

August F. Walz, Wilmington, for James F. Hearn, Edwin F. Koester, and himself, constituting the Board of Adjustment of the City of Wilmington, appellees.

WOLCOTT and TUNNELL, Justices, and LAYTON, Judge, sitting.

The problem arises because the lot where Darling has applied for permission to build his garage is within a district zoned as residential.
