Variance Request #77 1 from BRW. Inc. for one (l) foot side yard setback variance for new house at ,9825 Garrison Way. Mr. James E. Boerhave, B.R.W. Inc., spoke to the proposed request, ex- plaining that an inadvertent surveying error had been made at the proper- ty, with the westerly wall of the foundation of the dwelling being con- structed nine feet from the westerly property line instead of ten feet as • required by City Ordinance. He further explained that after due considera- tion of the problem and its effect on properties they own, they request a variance for relief of the ordinance violation. City Engineer Jullie spoke to the lack of notices being published or mailed for this variance request, explaining that owners of all properties within 500 feet have signed the enclosed statement, agreeing to the variance request.

Sandvick added: approval by neighboring property owners as indicated by signed document enclosed. Sandvick seconded, the motion carried unanimously. Cardinal requested the Staff to research prior recommendation of the Board of Appeals that the Staff be empowered to grant more or less minor variances that occur from time to time. 3.
