Mr. Doocy moved to approve the minutes of the December 8, 1982 Planning and Board meeting as revised. Mrs. Klaus seconded the motion. Motion declared VARIANCE - Leroux third line to have Zoning passed. Mr. Bartholdi appeared in behalf of Mr. Leroux who was also in the audience. Mr. Bartholdi gave some background on Mr. Leroux's land transactions. In 1977 Mr. Leroux entered into two contracts for deeds with Mr. Peter Scherer who owned the 40 acre tract of which the two parcels were part. The reason that Mr. Leroux is applying for the variance is that the two contracts are now paid off and now it is time for Mr. Scherer to give Mr. Leroux a warrantee deed for the parcels. However, the contracts for deed were never recorded at the County and the warantee deeds cannot be recorded now be- cause of the moratorum. Mr. Bartholdi displayed a survey map indicating by color the two parcels of land for which the variance is requested. Parcel #1 is in green and parcel #2 is yellow.

Mr. Leroux did make the exchange and the deeds were drawn up and recorded showing the easements.

Mr. Bartholdi continued by stating that in approximately 1980 the City came to Mr. Leroux and asked him to acquire an additional 60' adjacent to his homestead. The reason for this was that an access into parcel #2 was needed. Mr. Leroux asked Mr. Scherer for the additional 60' and Mr. Scherer agreed but asked Mr. Leroux to pur- chase the balance of the parcel between the homestead and parcel #2. This was also • by contract for deed and this contract was not recorded. This contract is now paid. Mr. Bartholdi said the reason they are asking for the variance is not so much as sub- dividing but combining parcel of land into two parcels of land and to clear up access problems. He indicated each combination. Mr. Bartholdi said he had talked to the
