Mr. McLean reported breifly on the preparation of the City's answer to the system statement. Mr. Fran Burque appeared before the Board asking for a variance to a parcel of land of less than 2 acres. This is a trianglur parcel of land created by the installation of 135E and computes to about .06 acre with the road easement deleted. There was a suggestion that a 4 acre triangle be added on the North line but Mr. Burque said that would spoil the remaining land for platting. This parcel has frontage on both the service road and 64th Street. There was discussion of this action setting a precedent but some felt that since this parcel was created by the installation of the freeway, no prece- dent is there. Mr. Shearen felt that the addition of the triangle of land would not add that much to this lot and would create a problem for platting the remainder.
