Mrs. Johnson asked how many letters were sent out to property owners within a 200 ft radius. Mrs. Hernandez stated that 15 letters were sent out with two recipients having called the office. Mr. Turk explained that one call was questioning what was going to be built and the other had questions about the request itself, and had their attorney contact him for explanation. He stated that the attorney said that if there was opposition from the property owner after explaining it to her, that they would attend the meeting. Mrs. Johnson stated that there was no one pesent to speak on the case. Mr. Drew asked if they would be setting a precedent if they were to grant the request, and Mr. Turk stated that they would not be setting a precedent due to the hardship imposed to meet set-backs from the terrain at the rear of the property. Mr. Drew then inquired as whether it would be a spec or custom home built home. Mr. Rusher stated that he believed that it was being built to sell, and Mr. Turk confirmed. Mr. Drew expressed concerns regarding prospective buyers possibly having problems in the future, and Mr. Rusher stated that he thought that any buyers would recognize any possible issues before buying the home. Mr. Turk explained that the main reason of the Variance request was to minimize any possible future problems from the back of the property contouring down the hill, by wanting to keep as far to the front as possible. Mrs. Johnson asked if the property was a total of three lots, and Mr. Turk confirmed. Mr. Rusher noted that they were the last remaining vacant lots in that area, and stated that the abutting residences on either side, although appeareing to have more rear yard, approached the hill side as well and had been there since the 60's or possibly longer. Mr. Rusher then asked Mr. Turk if the Board could be held responsible for any future problems with the house if they granted the Variance, and Mr. Turk stated that they would not be responsible for any construction deficiencies by the contractor/builder that caused structural problems in the future by granting the Variance on the property. The Variance was approved with all in favor, at 4:06 p.m. ADJOURNMENT: There was no further business. The meeting was adjourned at 4: 10 p. m. by Mrs. Johnson.
