Mr. Gomersall indicated that the terni enclosed does not have bearing on the variance. Ms. Peltz suggested the request was wrong as the measurements are 51-feet from the sidewalk and the porch would make it 42 foot.

Mr. Crago, the neighbor, came forward to comment that he was present because of the notice. The notice said enclosed, when it is not going to be enclosed. Mr. Gomersall indicated that the Law Department had made a ruling years ago that once a variance is granted the owner could enclose the porch a week later and it would have no affect on the variance that was granted. He would like to see the motion prohibit the applica.nt from enclosing the porEh. Mr. Gomersall inquired if the Board or audience had any further concerns or questions. No corrunents were made. W.
