Mr. Robert Helmbolt, 59 Evergreen, said his father purchased the home that was built in 1954 in October and does not conform with current setback standards. He thought he could build straight up and add an addition without a variance. Mr. Helmbolt said he is a general contractor. He designed the addition so he will not go any further to the west property line and will build straight up from the existing home. Chairman McCormack said the Zoning Board of Appeals had a letter dated January 14, 2008, from Village Arborist Walkington stating none of the trees will be affected by the proposed construction but would like to see protective fencing around the trees in the front during the construction. Commissioner Burch asked Mr. Helmbolt if he would be living in the home, if it was his permanent home, and if he was going to purchase the home from his father to which Mr. Helboldt responded affirmatively. Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes, January 17, 2008 3 The public hearing was closed at 7:43 p.m. The petitioner stated that he had had a working relationship with Commissioner Burch, so Commissioner Burch asked to be recused from voting even though he did not recall Mr. Helmboldt.
