the special exception contingent upon an anticipated zoning
change being made by the City. The Planning Official recom-
mended this not be done.

ITEM #3 - The request of Horace Hamlin, Jr. and Alfred
c. Wyllie for setback variance.
The Planning Official pointed out the size of the
structure proposed and the number of units involved, directly
relate to the setback requirements and suggested the Board con-
sider approving a lesser structure for this property. This
would negate the need for a variance.

effort to save trees immediately inside the lot line in front
of the parking area and to the west of the proposed structure.
Discussion ensued concerning removal of trees, and construc-
tion of a duplex. In response to Mr. Wyllie's statement that
a duplex would require the same amount of building space, the
Planning Official pointed out that setback requirements for a
duplex are less stringent than for a four-plex.

into the record.
