Present to request the variance was Mr. Dennis Brady.
The Chairman reviewed the petition application. Mr. erady presented a plan
and a model of his proposed twc�-story addition. Mr. Brady explained �is need
for the extra bedroom. He also explained the prob)em he had had with a wet
baserr+ent, and the difficulties in building on this narrow corner lot.
The Board discussed the merits of the proposal . They were unable to find
a hardship justifying the requested variance. The Board atso noted two (2)
of the requested variances were for setbacks for an existing building. There
was no opposition to granting a variance of this type.
LeRoy Andecson moved to deny the variance of Section 3.12 (1 ) and to approve
the variance of Section 3.07 (1 ). Nbtio� was seconded by Mahlon Swedberg.
In discussion of the question, some of the Board members felt that a combin—
ation rr�otion including both the existing and the proposed structures woutd
not reflect their individual feelings on the waivers reqaested. The question
was called and the motion carried, 3 aye� s and 2 nay' s.
7b-5-10 continued.
Mr. Mick Lee was present to request tMe variance. Also present was
Mr. Carpe�+ter from Redfield Ncxnes.
The Chairmar� reviewed the petition application and found it to be in order.
The Board noted tMat a similar request was granted on the adjoining lot to
the South in May, 1975• �ctually, the flood plain etevation, which cuts
across this property, limits its usefulness as a residee�tial lot.
The Board examined the proposed plans as presented by Mr. Lee and
Mr. Carpenter. Mahlon Swedberg moved to approve the variance as requested,
seconded by Walter Kost and so carried.
There being na further business to come before the Board, it was on motion,
duty secoaded, adjourned at 9:OU P.M.
