All present voted - Aye Mr. Lehigh: Can you go over what you're doing again? Mr. Longenberger: I'm doing two additions off the back, one was approved the other was under variance, location really can't be altered because of the septic tank and I have a header existing, that I use as a doorway so it seemed . reasonable to put it there and the other side of the house, would probably be the only location I could - I would have to re-construct the whole new header, I'd have to go through the brick, there no windows on that side. Mr. Fanuele: We went out and inspected it, actually the part you're adding is less of a variance then the house itself. Mr. Longenberger: The front corner is 12.2 feet. Mr. Fanuele: And where he's putting it keeps the house symmetrical, and the house was there before zoning. Mr. Longenberger: The only person who should even see it is, Ralph Holt. and he had no objections to it. .\-- '- ~ '. Page 5 Mr. Lehigh: It looked alright to me in that location.
