ITEM 10-11-68 AERODYNE, INCORPORATED
Mr. Joseph Pausch appeared before the Council requesting a variance on his property
so that he could build closer to the lot line than the zoning ordinance presently
allows. He wants to extend two buildings and add a third to his complex and in
doing so he would be going within the requirements of the zoning ordinance setting
his buildings on the lot line along the railroad property. One of the reasons for
doing this is to allow him to build a spur track into the building. The other area
requires this because of the fact that the property jogs and he wants to keep a
straight line on his building.
