The variance is needed <br />to protect a flowering crab tree in the rear yard and to maintain <br />an open view from the rear windows of the dwelling. Being a <br />commission member, he then excused himself from further <br />discussion and voting. <br />After some discussion, Finegan moved to approve the variance as <br />long as it met the conditions for granting a variance and did not <br />interfere with the visibility from the neighbor's house. The <br />motion carried unanimously. <br />REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE IN ~9-4.01[41(c) OF THE ZONING CODE FOR <br />2097 WEST FOLWELL <br />Barbara Shiels and Frank Preese are planning to build a new home <br />on the vacant lot for 2097 Folwell Avenue. Ms. Shiels presented <br />their request for a variance in the east sideyard requirement of <br />1 1/2 feet from the required 5 feet in order to save an existing <br />20" caliper elm tree on the property. The location of the <br />structure on the trapezoidal lot makes a variance necessary for a <br />small portion of the deck area on the rear of the structure. <br />After discussion by the commission, Barry moved to grant the <br />variance on the condition that the variance be allowed only for <br />the rear 5 feet of the structure and that the remaining portion <br />of the structure must meet the setbacks in the zoning code. <br />Salzberg seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. <br />
