The purpose of the variance as stated on the application is to build

P~. Jim Carter would like the Board to grant the variance. He
provided copies of a memorandum, ~Zonin~ which deo_r_iE~e.s owner of

that you cannot deprive a person of the use of hie property through
zoning.
P~s. Emily Js.ckson spoke Lu favor of the variance. In 1951 we came
down here and there were ~ houses on 8th Avenue, I on ~9th Avenue,
and 4 houses in the process of being bu~ilt. Me liked it so well,
we bought our lots. It was a beautiful subdivision, sidewalks, paved
streets, and curbs. These people bought this property with the hope
that some day they would move down here and live. She would be
delighted to have a house built on this lot. She would like to see it
built up. There are some beautiful homes on 50' lots.
Adel Nicholar asked if this would be a single family residential
type of home. }ir. Carter stated that he is not asking for approval
of plans, just for a variance.
2~. Barrett stated that the zone would not allow anything except
a single family residence.
~s. Nicholar asked ifa person can ask for a variance when he owns
two 50' lots, can't he be told he has to build on the 100'?

BOARD OF ADJUStmENT MEETING
JULY 17, 1972
It was the Board's feeling the, t he could ask for a variance if he
bought two 50~ lots not one 100' lot.
t~., Collier asked what the setback requ.irements are? t-lt. Barrett
sta'ted 25' for the front and back and 7~' on the sides.
M~. Barrett stated that all other requirements must be met. A
substandard lot of record may be used for single family residence
provided requirements are maintained.
Mr. Beane stated that he was under the impression that it was in
the code that before the Board could hear it, you had to submit
plans to the Building Department. ~r. Barrett stated '~no'~.
~ir. ~.ard moved that the variance be granted provided all setback
requirements are met for this particular area, seconded by Mr. Beane.
