The application is for <br />a 30 foot variance from the front yard setback and an 18 foot <br />variance from the side yard setback to allota for construction <br />of an addition to the front of the building. <br />Councilman Black read a letter from Mr. Moore, dated November 18, <br />~~ 1975, addressed to the Planning Commission, in which Mr. Moore <br />states the reasons for his request for a variance on both the front <br />and side yards. <br />Councilman Black also read the minutes of the Planning Commission <br />meeting of December 2, 1975, at which time the Planning Commission <br />recommended that the variance be granted. <br />Milton Moore stated that if the variance was not granted, his <br />firm would eventually have to relocate, as the additional space <br />was needed in order to continue operation. He requested that <br />the Council make a decision on the variance this evening. <br />Attorney William Korstad, 162,5 Garden, said he was representing <br />James Boyd, owner of the apartments immediately to the west of <br />the Mando Photo Company.
