Vice Chairman Restifo called all interested parties before the Board. R. Barber and G. Miller presented pictures of the property. Adjacent property owners, Mr. Filo, Mrs. Barnes Filo, and Miss Barnes were present. Mr. Barber stated he was plaruiing to re-construct a garage on an existing concrete pad. and has reduced his original request by about 50%. He wants to build a garage in front of an adjacent garage which is an eyesore which should block this garage from both his view and from that of Mrs. Barnes Filo's house. He explained if he moved the garage over 2 feet he would probably have to remove some trees, and he is trying to improve his property. Mrs. Barnes Filo stated that the she is not opposed to a garage, but she believed that the pad should be extended so that the garage conforms, and that granting this variance would set a precedent. There are three garages abutting her property which are in violation. She contends that the garage Mr. Barber referred to will probably come down this year and would also be opposed to them putting it in the same spot. She maintained tha.t this is the time to correct the grandfather situation; that extending the garage pad would not be a hardship for Mr. Barber and pointed out that he has already cut down one tree. Mr. Filo stated that now the garage is down this is the time to correct a mistake. Mrs. Barnes Filo pointed out that Mr. Barber had bought.the house luiowing it was in violation. Ms. Barnes stated that the adjacent: garage should be condemned.
