ir <br />MINUTES OP THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD JULY 15, 1985. PAGE 21 <br />«943 JOHN & SUSAN PURDY <br />#944 JAMES LEAR <br />3127 CASCO CIRCLE <br />VARIANCE <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br />11:05 - 11:20 PM <br />Chairman Kelley reported that some additional <br />building is being allowed within the 0-75* zone. <br />The hardship being the lake on both sides of the <br />property, the configuation of the land and the <br />steep slopes. <br />Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted the 1 <br />year expiration date for the variance. Also, this <br />application will be taken to the July 22nd Council <br />meeting to speed up the process. <br />Chairman Kelly declared the expiration date still <br />is one year.

It covers less than half <br />of the frontage of the property. <br />Chairman Kelley stated that he found it very diffi­ <br />cult to leave the fence in the present location <br />because of the height of the fence, the neighbor­ <br />hood doesn't have a lot of fencing, and how far it <br />is back from the street.
