Such request <br />was denied last week by the Planning Commis«jion. <br />I seek relief from their decision based on the <br />reasoning of my July 22, 1977 letter to you. <br />My reasoning is: <br />The variance affects no one except me. <br />Neither neighbors nor the Woodhill Country <br />Club have objected. <br />The lot line affected has been a woods, <br />.literally forever. <br />onG suitat)lG building sitG on the <br />lot. <br />It dictates the need to place a new structure <br />as far away from the present house as possible <br />to preserve its value. <br />Two architects^ Peter Hall of Minneapolis and <br />Robert Gaede of Cleveland, Ohxo have stated <br />that unless a variance can be obtained a <br />structure should not be erected." <br />End of letter <br />Pesek moved, Butler seconded, to table the request <br />2 variance for Robert F. White, 320 Woodhill <br />Road, until the meeting of September 12, 1977, to <br />allow the applicant to document hardship.
