Address:. 436 N. W. 3 Avenue
Applicant: Mr. Robert B. Woodruff and
Mrs. Dellephene F. Woodruff
~lirs. Harrington, 1100 S. Federal Highway of BoyntonRealty represented Mr. and Mrs.
Woodruff. She explainedthat the reason for theN request is that the property cannot
be sold without a variance to allow a ~velling to be built. The total of the lots
is 58.51 x 125.
Mr. Ward questioned the right to sell the variance.
Mr. Hester stated that no one would buy the lot knowing that you cannot build on it.
If so~eone bought the lot and came up for a variance, ~hey would not get it because
they have not owned the property long enough.-
Mr. Ward asked if the Board can grant a variance just for the sale of the lot?
Mr. Hester stated that it is the owner that is asking for the variance.
Mr. Alfred Buscher, 428 N, W. 3rd Avenue objected to the request. The requirement
is 60' lots. Why should he be granted a variance for a lot he cannot sell. Mr.
Buscher has been approached several times to sell ~vo feet so thatthis lot can be
built on. He objects to the variance being granted.
Mr. Heste~:~s~a{edthat peopte~-~e&t~hese.lo~s.~.~wing they could build on them
before the change was made. It is only one and one/half feet less than the
