meeting.
Chairman Millard asked if all members had visited the
properties unde}' consideration for va'riances.'
- t.;
All the members present had visited the properties.
Chairman Millard reminded all those present that anyone testifying
before the Board is under oath and subject to perjury charges
in the event of false evidence.
The first request was from Mr. Milan Griffith who wanted a
variance to build either one duplex building or two single
family residences on his property at Oakridge Ave. in Highland
Shores.
The Secretary stated that the Public Hearing had been advertised,
the abutting property owners notified and the property posted.
Chairman Millard told Mr. Griffith that the Board of Adjustments
could not grant a variance for a duplex because it is not listed
as a special exception in R-3 districts.
The Board examined Mr. Griffith's plan for two single family'
dVlellings.
It was the opinion of the Board that there was not sufficient
room to build two conforming houses.
Mr. Griffith stated that one house on this property was not
economically feasible.
The Board voted 4 to 0 to deny this request and recess this

any possibility of relief through the possible addition of duplexes
as a special exception in R-3. This would have to be upon action
of the City Council. Mr. Griffith can return to the next Board
meeting without making reapplication for a variance.
The next variance request was from Mr. Blaun who wanted a
variance to build a house on Riverside Drive.
The Secretary stated that the public Hearing had been advertised,
the abutting property owners notified and the .property posted.
This was a non-conforming lot of record, existing prior to the
inception of Ordinance 880. The Board inspected the actual deed
for this lot and confirmed this fact.
Mr. Blaun's plan called for a 30 foot setback from Riverside Drive.
r--. t

,
(,,)
The Board agreed that since there did not seem to be any undue
hardship they could not grant this setback.
Chairman Millard remarked that the house would be much too
close to Riverside Drive with only a 30 foot setback.
The Board did grant Mr. Blaun a side yard variance of 9 feet
10 inches-and a rear setback of 22~ feet. Since the house
would be on the Indian River there would be no adverse effect
so far as crowding other buildings was concerned.
Mr. Poland stated that he felt this was an unsafe building lot
and would be a dangerous area in case of heavy storms and flooding.
The final vote was 3 to 1. Mr. Poland voted no.
Chairman Millard informed Mr. Blaun that a letter would be sent
to the City Council informing them of the Board's recommendations
in this matter. If the Council accepted the Boaro's recommenda-
tion, they would issue a resolution granting the side and rear
setbacks.
The meeting was adjourned.
