Lorrie Rejzer of 2715 Caroline Avenue stated that she felt the Council was indulging the applicants after - the -fact, and that the lot was overbuilt. Flint stated that the Council believed the error was on the part of the surveyor and was not fraudulent. The Council was trying to be fair in resolving a tough issue.
