87-1-1 (Map 8) Residential
15 South Westwood Drive
Donald Grant Provost and Robert Van Horn
The Petition is for waiver of Section
3A.06(1) Front setback for 2 feet off the required
35 foot setback from Westwood Drive to a
distance of 33 feet to an existing bay window.
Purpose of the waiver is to remove the non- '
conforming status of the window which is
supported by the foundation.
The petition was in order. Consent obtained from all adjacent properties.
Mr. Donald Grant Provost was present for the meeting. No others were in
attendance.
Mr. Provost explained that in applying for a building permit to add on to his
structure he was required to obtain a survey to determine proper setbacks. As a
result of the survey an existing portion of the front foundation and bay window
and one corner of the house were found to be less than the required 35 feet from
Westwood Avenue. The proposed addition fully conforms. The purpose of the
waiver request is to remove the non-conforming status that now exists on the
described portions of the building.

During discussion with the Board Mr. Provost noted his home was built in 1941.
No as-built survey was required at that time.
Mahlon Swedberg moved to approve the waiver as requested noting also that his
motion specifically included the west corner of the house as it now exists at
34.9 feet from Westwood Drive.
Art Flanagan seconded the motion noting this was more of an administrative
matter to make the existing structure legal with current ordinance. Upon vote
the motion carried unanimously.
At the Boards request Lloyd Becker provided a staff update on current and
proposed development.
There being no further business to come before the Board, it was upon motion,
second, and vote to adjourn at 8:35 P.M.
