Variance - John Guse, Set Back - Mr. Guse purchased a lot in the Lino Air Park on the corner of Thomas Street and 4th Avenue.

The problems are; the City has condemned 17 feet of his lot for additional street right -of -way for completion of the 4th Avenue project, the lot was originally undersized and there is a swale through the lot which allows drainage of his property and other properties to the west. Mr. Kluegel noted the Planning and Zoning Board did recommend ap- proval of the request although the vote was not unanimous. Mr. Guse was asked why he needed such a large building. He explained he owns two airplanes. He was asked why he did not locate the build- ing in a different spot and place the doors facing north. He ex- plained he would not be able to get the doors open in the winter. Mr. Reinert noted that the initial intent of this air strip was for the convenience of one airplane owners and also felt Mr. Guse should have been aware of the limitations of such a small lot when he purchased the lot.
