White noted he did attend the Planning <br /> Commission meeting and has read through all the materials relating to this application. White stated he <br /> understands Mr. Floyd is opposed to the expanded use and that there also is a concern that the structure <br /> will turn into living space. White stated the City has already detei-mined that the applicant does have <br /> access to this structure. White requested Mr. Floyd limit his conunents to tonight's application and not <br /> what happened in 1983. <br /> Floyd stated his comments in his letter relating to hardship directly relate to the application and that there <br /> are deficiencies and omissions in the applicant's application. <br /> Gaffron stated the survey submitted by the applicant is relatively detailed and that the only itein with the <br /> survey is that it does not clearly show the driveway access.
