Mr. Miller, attorney representing the First Gibraltar Bank, owner of the apart-
ment complex, presented the request to the Board. He stated that the encroach-
ment to the 20 -foot building line was discovered at the time the property was
being sold. This encroachment does not appear to be a problem, and they are
requesting a variance to the encroachment so that they might be in a position to
market and sell the property.
Mr. Petty stated that the property was constructed in 1979 with a 20 -foot building
line along the southern border. Between the property Has and the adjacent
single family development there is an additional 20 -foot easement. All property
owners within 200 feet have been notified of this request for variance and
although numerous calls were received by city staff, each of the callers have been
satisfied with the explanation of the request. Staff is of the opinion that there
has been no adverse effect on adjacent property owners. Mr. Petty added that
this building has been in this location for 13 years.
Chairman Clay opened the public hearing. With no one wishing to speak for or
against the request, Chairman Clay closed the public hearing.
The Board discussed the request, and the consensus was that there was no
adverse effect on adjacent property owners, and since this building has been in
{ this location for 13 years, it would be appropriate the grant the variance.
