noted that there were six dogs in the immediate area. Mr. Sidum stated that there are probably 25 or 30 dogs in the area, but the others are kept inside. Since there must be a reason for this ordinance, he is objecting to granting a variance to that ordinance. Mr. Korylay is also objecting to the variance since the houses are closer together than 20 feet, and this would make the area more crowded together. Mr. I{orylay and Mr. Sidum both live to the rear of Mr. Duun's property. Mr. Gomersall stated that this is only 9 feet closer to their lot lines, and even though the dog has nothing to do with the variance, even if it was on the porch, it would not increase the noise since the porch is enclosed. It was clarified that there would be 41 feet between the porch and the lot line and 50 more feet to tlie rear of the adjacent homes. He again suggested taking the dog complaints to the proper channels. Mrs. Sidum noted that she could hear the dog inside her house. The written statement was placed in the file for the record. W.
