Mr. Arsts presented a letter of approval from 3 immediate neighbors. Mr. Arsts felt that as long as other homes were that close, he should be allowed to do so. Council pointed out that there were no.easements on the South side of Radisson Inn Road so any road expansion would have to take place in a Northerly direction. Rascop moved, seconded by Shaw, to approve the variance on a non- conforming structure if the structure is at least 35 feet from the front property line if the architect can redesign with this setback, if he cannot, Mr. Arsts can return to Council and the fee will be waived. 5 ayes - unanimous.
