Owner & Applicants: Norman F. and Loraine N. Strn;E
~lr. Strnad came forwaxd and explained tha+~ the existing
buildings are in such a position that if he constructs these
buildings the way they should be according %o the code, that
it will come in front of the existing building plus losing
space in the back. Ihe space could be used for parking in
the front, but could not be used in the rear. ~r. Strnad
explained that he laid out his plans the way he wanted them
and when he came to get a permit he was told that he would
have to request this variance.
~r. Strnad stated he had spoken to the people abutting his
property and that they expressed no objection.
The~e were no objectors in the audience, and no lette=s of
ob3ection.

BOARD OF ADJOSIBENT g~EETiNG
JbFNE 6, 1966
M.r. Davis stated that this would put Mr. Strnad's building
within 2' of the commercial property in back of him.
Mr. Cummins made a motion that.the request be g~an.ted. Mr.
Sarno seconded. A discussion ~ollowed and M~. Davzs stated
that the Boar. d has to consider hardships. He did not think
this was a hardship case, that Mr. Strnad has personal rea-
sons why he wants to build it like this and that there is
space to build in co.~fo:cmity with the code. He stated that
it is regrettable that the existing units are as they are,
but this pEoblem comes up again and again.
The vote was 2 FOR the motion and 3 AGAINST.
Mr. Hueston stated that he did not feel this wa s~ hard ship
case and that possibly ~r. Strnad could swing the building
around to get an 8' clearance in the back.
Mr. Davis explained that this is the law to have a 20' set-
back and that there has to be a reasonable hardship to change
that. He stated that ~r. Strnad~has the property there and
can work it out and thinks tha~ould be sorry himself in
the future if this were built with only a 2' set-back.
Mr. Swank stated tha't he sees a creation of a fire hazard witk
with just a very minimum of clearance and stated that ~=.
Strnad's fire insurance would probably be debited because of
that very definite exposure.
It was suggested that Mr. Strnad re-apply 'for an 8' or i0'
set-back.
Meeting adjourned.
