the assistance of the police department. At this point Mr. Opal agreed to
sit in the audience area.

NEW BUSINESS
HO-3-82 - Application of Joseph Martine for Home Occupation License for
lawn mowing service. Mr. Martine was sworn in. Mr. Martine stated his
only equipment was a lawnmower and he was not aware until recently that he
needed a license. Upon roll call vote, the Board voted to approve granting
a Home Occupation License to Mr. Martine.
HO-2-82 - Application of Henry Skalnek and Harry Gerrard for a Home
Occupation License to operate an alarm systems business. Mr. Gerrard was
sworn in. Mr. Gerrard said that there would be no large machines used in
their business, just small tools; the supplies used, wire, wire staples,
etc., would be stored at their homes. Both men are licensed journeyman
electricians. The Board voted to approve the granting of a Home Occupation
License.
Henry G. Bartlett - Application for a Variance for a la-foot front setback
and a la-foot rear setback to construct a duplex residence on the corner of
W. Knapp Avenue and Palmetto Streets (northeast). Mr. Bartlett was sworn
in. The application was advertised, abutting property owners were notified,
and the property was posted as required by law.
There was some discussion of the parking arrangement. Mr. Garthwaite
suggested parking two cars parallel in front of the building and the other
two cars on each side of the building, which would eliminate the need for
cars to back directly out into Palmetto Street.
Mr. Millard directed Mr. Bartlett to check his building plans and grading
with Mr. Murphy.
The Board unanimously approved the granting of the variance with the stipu-
lation that Mr. Bartlett bring in a revised drawing showing the parking as
suggested by Mr. Garthwaite.
The letter regarding Tiffany Terrace was briefly discussed, and it was noted
that all efforts possible have been taken to prevent such cases coming before
the Board of Adjustments until the Planning and Zoning Commissions had done
their work and then presented it to the Board of Adjustments.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
