Request for variance in rear setbadc requirements on the follc~ing described
property:
Lot 11
Boynton Isles Subdivision
as recorded in. Plant Book 25, Page 34,
Palm Beach Coun~.y Records.
Address: 946 GreeD. Briar
(~er: Robert Carroll.
O~mer requested a 21' set back on the main building in the rear, instead
of 2S' requirement. ~e size of the lot is 90' x 100'.
Chairman Pidgeway read petition dated April 11, 1968, pertaining to this
request for variance and si&ned by *~_.e fol!~¢ing named families opposing
the variance. Kleist - Sdurader - Biedermer - B~er - Geller - }.{cCaig -
Yiu!e - Sd~uesden - Kianz and Johnson.
}.'h~. Carroll, the owner, came fo~'ard to explain why he requested the variance
The plan of building that they desired called for only a 21' set bade from
the bullhead line and would not meet the City requirements of 25', but does
meet the requirement in the Deed whid~ is only 20'. The wins that would
protrude 4' Ln the rear~ would co~ist only of a guest bedroom. The house
itself and the whole lot is situated in' such a way, tJ~at part of the front
is taken away by the circular turn in the lot. The house would be the last
house on ~he blocl¢. Fie had hoped that he would't have to redesign the
building just for this 4' difference.
Discussion held.
~'lr. Charles Rosier, Contractor, who will be building the house for
Carroll, came fo~ard and asked if this house were brought forward 4',
would that make any difference in this matter? T~e horseshoe curve is what
causes a hardship in this case.
