Chairman Foster read a portion of minutes of a Board of Adjust-
ment hearing held February 28 , 1974 , in which a variance was
granted to permit a mobile home to be placed on this property.
He also relayed an opinion from the City Attorney that , under
the new Zoning Ordinance , the Boad of Adjustment has no author-
ity to grant the variance as requested .
Mr. Yodzis and Dr. Boone both opposed the placement of the
granting of the present variance .
After discussion by the Board of its authority to grant the
variance , and the hardship to Mr. Staples , John Crosby made a
motion that the minutes reflect the Board ' s position that it
does not have authority to grant this variance and therefore
can take no action. Andy Knight seconded the motion , and it
carried unanimously.
Motion was made to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 8 : 13 p.m.
