Address: 126 S. W. 10th Avenue
Applicant: William Weinstock
Mr. Weinstod< c~me forward to request lot frontage variance at 126 S.
10th Avenue. Mm. Weinstock stated that the t00' lot~ as presently
existing was too big for retirement homes. Most elderly people do not
want such a large yard as it ~ntails too much upkeep. S~aller lots
make less rmmintenance~ etc.
Chai~n stated anyone else in audience for Weinstock request please
come fo~ard. Ho response.
