You have requested a * written opinion supporting a code variance in the placement of said structure. We understand he must prove "hardship" for this to be granted. After on-site inspection we determined the property only marginal to bear the §gjig£gJ„jTundj^g^JiJioy^nd dollar structure contemplated. The logic for this pinion follows: 1.There is one suitable location for a structure: a)Southwest portion is too narrow where it abuts Woodhill Road. b) \0 Severe grades on the northwest portion would affect building costs substantially and adversely. _ _Eastern portion's view is to Woodhill Country Club dump ground, thus unsuitable* ‘ Percolation .tests indicate substantial land usage required on east side, as well, to accommodate drain field within code due to extensive clay. Location of present driveway is highly restrictive. Contour of adjacent land prohibits moving it, in addition to affecting aest\i^ics of present residence. 2.The appropriate building site is at narrowest "neck" of the property, coincidentally its apex. We deem it marginal. ■ v: y V- ■ ■'k For this site unlc consider at this 1 We shall attendant expense m Yours ver vr;
