Parsons was present and took the oath to toll the truth. Mr. Parsons
stated that he has been in business since late 1935. He is asking
for a 10 foot side line instead of the required 50 feet because the
property is narrow and 50 feet on either aids would cause a great
burden on them due to the limited amount of space that they have.
They feel that 10 feet is adequate to got through in case of fire, oto.
Mr. Lorenzo Acker whose land adjoins about 90% of the Parsono land
soon no objection to a 10 -toot side line.
Mr. Clausen objects beoause he fouls that this will set a precedent.

Mr. Anderson is appealing for a variance to *he Zoning Ordinance on

he now has 6 children. Mt'. Anderson took the oath. Mr. Ludowig,
the Building Inspector described the property and stated that Mr.
Anderson wants to build within 3 feet of the property line. He
already is 6 foot from the line on the other Bide. There is a
septic tank, wells and a large maple tree behind the house. Mr.
Anderson wants to put a arage under the new addition which will
have doors on each side Tfront and back) so he will have access to
the back yard. Mr. Anderson has lived in this house for three years.
No one was present in favor of .ter. Anderson.
Mr. Marvin McKenney, the next door neighbor on one side, took the oath
and was against tho variance. He fools that a fire truck could not
got through. Asked how far back the septic tank is from the house.
(Mr. Anderson said approximately 20 to 22 feet. Also thaee are two
wells in the way.) Mr. MoKonney fools that any truck getting through
In a hurry would tear up the MoKennoy property.

be broken so soon.
*4W Mr. alausen took the oath. he lives right across (75 feet down the
road) from Anderson. Poole that junk behind the house should be
cleared up. Said that Anderson is building shanties behind the house
and that this is a fire trap. Asked ghat happens if septic clogs up
and the truck could not get behind to clean it out. Also feels that
an addition this close to the line would look terrible.
Mr. Anderson stated that he has no shanties behind his house and that
the junk was there when he bought the house. He said that he has been
clearing this out and it will be all gone by this Saturday.
Paul Ganci, representing his father who lives on the other side of
Mr, Anderson, also objected. He feels that for sanitation and fire
reasons, there would bene, access and that a truck would have to
cross either the Ganci property or the MoKenney property and that
if an emergency cane nothing that is said at the meeting would hold
but that trucks would go and ask questinns later.
