Tne hartsr.ip is that <br />the existing house Is too small, and because -ocated on the <br />lot line, we cannot add onto the house. The pi an v/e have <br />submitted seems to be the best solution." <br />Bob Mitchell, Attorr.ev, stated that he is not reiated to - i.m <br />and Patricia .Mitchell, but'that he is here this evening, as t.heir <br />lawyer, on their behalf.
