Docket No. 8-50 Jack Kavanaugh Company, Agentss crest Side of Wildwood Road between E'dlewood Road and "0" Streets described as Lots 231-235 inclusive and Outlot "B", Prospect Terrace �3 Additions Zoned "A" One -Family; requesting waiver of front yard set back restrictions on Wildwood Road and side yard set back restrictions on "0" Street. Mr. Marak told persons present that there had been two letters of objection filed with the Planning Director. He then read them to the Board. They were from Air. & Mrs. Donald B. Tobey and R. L. Baird. Mr. Kavanaugh then told the Board that the property in question was to be 'wilt on by lair. Burton, Mr. Benton, and Mr. bloods if the application was granted. He stated because of the slope of the land it would create a hardship and increase expenses to set back 25' from the }ftpdrty line. The Bill of Assurance reads that the building line is 202 from the property line. They wished to waiver this 519 thus building back 15' from the front property line. Mr. Kahn, ealtor, was present to strongly object. He stated that to build in this -anner would decrease the value of their property. He told the Board that he had been the allotter for Prospect Terrace Addition and had assured the buyers that they would be protected by the Bill of Assurance. He stated that Mr. Jacoway had himself stressed that monetary considerat:1on was not a good reason for waiving of existing restrictions. Mr. Kahn said that they could build two stories, with the first floor down on the slope and then bring the second floor up. Mr. Fallingely, also an objectors explained that it would take the signatures of 60% of the property owners to get permission to build back from any other set back than that given in the Bill of Assurance. Since this was necessary, hte felt that it was useless to take up the Board's time and the tame &' the people present. The Chairman then asked all objecting the application to stand. There were 13 present who objected to the petition.. -2 Mr. Kavanaugh told the Board that he felt it better to build these houses by waiving the property building line than to sell them to someone who would build a cheap home on them. The Bill of Assurance reads that a home built in this addition is not to cost less than $5,000.00. One lady objector present then spoke and said that a committee was working on getting this changed in the Bill of Assurance as a $5,000.00 home in this day is nothing compared to the time the Bill of Assurance was written. Mr. Baldwin then pointed out that the property was bought with the idea of complying with the Bill of Assurance.
