He said it is not dealing with the height or the open space. Mr. Maund indicated that house does sit back and pointed out on the plans where the neighbors are situated. Mr. O'Malley commented that if you describe the variance in terms of 24' it sounds substantial. If you describe it in terms of 42" in addition to the 30" that is permitted, it sounds substantial. as well. Mr. O'Malley said if you describe the variance as being from the other house toward the side walk, it does not seem to be quite as substantial. He recommended the variance be described from section (f)(2) instead of (f)(1) and that it be described as not exceeding 12'. Mr. Kremzar then asked if it would be a 12' variance instead of 24'.

Mr. Maloney informed Mr. Maund he can go ahead the way it is diagramed but it is the wording that needed to be clarified. Mr. Maloney said the motion will include the revised proposal with the change to section (1135.02 (fl(2)), in order to cover the side yard on the 24' variance. J.
