Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Wright and several neighbors. It was explained that the existing three lots are to be, subdivided into two. Both lots will need variances to conform to the square foot requirements in a"B" residential neighborhood, and lots are not deep enough to conform to the minimum 135' depth requirement. Mr. Wright would like to move the former City owned home (Department of Human Re- sourses building) onto sublot 2. This will require a 10' front yard variance and an 11 foot rear yard variance. It was explained that a variance would be required to build any house on the property. Since there have been two rezoning requests before Council on this property, neighbors are concerned that house might be used for commercial purposes. This is not Mr. Wright's intent, and also any further rezoning attempt would have to have public hearings and neighbors would again be notified. Neighbors agreed they would like to see property developed residentially. L. Horvath moved to grant the variance for Ben K. Wright, se- conded by E. Graves, and unanimously approved. 9.
