davits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed
on file. Mr. Sand presented the appeal of Mr. Roy W. TomEins from a Board of
Appeals and Adjustments Decision denying a variance request so that a house could
be built on Lot 7, Griffis' Subdivision of Block 18, Mendelssohn Addition (525
Arthur Street). Mr. Sand explained that the variances requested would reduce the
viidth from the required 75 feet to 50 feet and aecrease the required lot area
from 9,000 to 7,250 square feet.
neighborhood residents opposing the proposed variances because they believed that
construction on this substandard lot would increase traffic, be detrimental to
property values in the area, and eliminate trees that are a benefit in the neigh-
borhood. Mr. John Keefe, representing Mr. Tomkins, contended that a house should
3e constructed on the lot inasmuch as it is already a platted lot and because,
when he purchased the property, Mr. Tomkins had been led to believe by a member
of the Planning staff that the subject property was a buildable lot. Mr. Sand
reviewed the Findings of Fact prepared by the staff, following which Mr. Keefe
contended that the Findings were a '!rationalization of a preconceived judgment
on the part of the Appeals Board". He responded to the.Findings of Fact, stating
that 1) there is already a variation in the size of the lots in the area;
granting the variance would have no adverse effect on the health or well-being of
residents in the area;
increase traffic in the area;
detrimental to surrounding property;

response to a question of Mr. Robert Bonn, 6501 Waterman Ave., Mr. Erickson.sa5d
that apparently the houses built on the other 50 foot lots'had slipped-through
without a variance. -Mr. Dunn pointed out that the other lots were created by a
lot division and that, therefore, no Variances were necessary.

ture during the 19J7 legislative session, filed as'Senate File No. 459; and

transfer the authority for the planning, funding, and provision of community
