Mr. Remmel advised that the Board had previously denied a variance for the entire allotment since the developer had presented the plan to the city and the lots were satisfactory at that time. He believes that a house.plan can be found that will conform to the ordinances. Mr. Kiczek stated that most of the'lots were sold when be bought his from a nrivate owner, he was not aware there would be a problem with the depth. He will be building his own house and needs a master bedroom downstairs. He nointed out that Canterbury Road, behind his lot, wi11 probably never be installed. Mr. Bugala stated that he is opposed to the variance unless it could be granted with the con- dition that there cannot be a covered patio on the rear. Mr. Gareau advised that the Board could make that condition, but the owner could still request a variance. C. Remmel moved to grant the 6.5 foot rear yard variance to construct a dwelling with the stipulation that a covered patio will not be built on the property, seconded by R.-Gomersall.

Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Richards, representing General Mills Restaurants, who explained that he had presented a conforming plan to the Planning Commission and they suggested removing the front parking and one.access drive in order to have more green area. In order to include sufficient parking, they moved their building fozward so that there would be a 36 foot front set back since they had been advised that there is an ordinance being proposed xahich would allow this. At the Architectural Board of Review meeting it was suggested that he contact the forester in regard to landbanking parking spaces in order to save certain trees. Mr. Richards preferred not to landbank spaces, but agreed to curb them and request a variance for 6 parking spaces. After the forester reviewed the plans, he suggested eliminating 6 more spaces.' Mr. Richards does have a problem with some of .these, especially since elimi.nating three of these spaces might not save these trees since they are. too close to
