LeBlanc -902 Holik -·-- Harper discussed previous Board review of this matter and asked for ad- ditional comments from J.U. LeBlanc. LeBlanc stated that all neighbors contacted with regards to the matter before the Board had given their support to the request. Harper inquired with regards any hardships ' to be a result of compliance with the ordinance. LeBlanc said that compliance would result in in- creased costs, poor air circulation and decreased energy efficiency . Wagner asked if the alternative solution of ~cquiring additional property had been considered. LeBlanc replied that this was not reasonable and would affect his neighbor's setbacks. Upham stated that the granting of a variance should be based upon some unique problem with the land, not upon human error. Burke stated that there is a need to use reason when dealing with a problem which is a matter of inches. Harper discussed variance requirements and the need to use reason. Uphafll stated that the variance request was based upon "want" rather than "need". Page 2 Harper moved to approve the request, allowing a seven foot (7') side setback, due to the special condition of the house being not parallel to the property line, such variance being not contrary to the public interest. The requested variance failed by the following vote: For: Harper, Burke, Boughton Opposed: Hagner, Upham Agenda Item No. 3 -Request for a Variance in the name of D.R.

Upham pointed out that surveys often vary between different surveyors. Burke stated although the City approved the structure, the Builder is responsible for his errors . .:.~ .' Harper discussed past variances along curved property lines, and that the 3 foot request was not a very significant variance along a circular line. Harry Bostic described the problems encountered on performing slab inspections on lots with curved lot lines . The Board discussed the concept of the "Public Interest" and the need for consistency in reaching a decision. Following a discussion of the ordinance requirements for granting a variance, Harper moved to grant the request, such variance being not detrimental to the Public Interest, and based upon the unique condition of the curved corner lot line. The motion was seconded by Wagner, and failed by the following note: For: None Opposed: Unanimous Agenda Item No. 4 -Adjourn Upham moved to adjourn.
