Chairman MacDonell called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. He stated that
approval of the minutes of the meeting of August 15, 1985 would be deferred
until Mrs. Kerber arrived. He called the Board's attention to the new
business before the Board.
NEW BUSINESS
Item #1 - Request for Side Setback Variance - Dr. Charles Weaver
Lot 10, Block 40, Atlantic Beach; 1058 Beach Avenue
The Chair recognized Mr. George Bull, Jr. Mr. Bull stated that he represented
Dr. Weaver in the request for variance. He stated that they were requesting
a variance of approximately 3.5' to construct an addition to an existing
storage room on the south side of the building. He stated that the present
storage roam is very small and houses part of an air conditioning unit. The
addition would be used to store bicycles and lawn equipment. He added that
the Weavers would rather make the addition than to construct a storage shed
in the back yard. He felt that it could become an eyesore. Mr. Bull stated
that he had submitted petitions from the adjacent property owners to the
effect that they have no objection to the variance.
Chairman MacDonell opened the floor for discussion.
Mr. Tassone asked if the gas tank on the south side would be removed. Mr.
Bull replied that it would not be removed but may be slightly relocated.
Mrs. Kerber asked if they would have to remove plants in order to build the
structure. Mr. Bull stated that they may have to remove a few plants.
Mrs. Kerber added that she had no objection to the request if the addition
would help keep the neighborhood neat and help the Weavers to utilize their
property more effectively.
Mr. Tassone asked how much setback would be left on each side. Mr. Bull
replied that there would be more than five feet on each side.

Chairman MacDonell felt it would be somewhat of a hardship not to grant
the variance. He added that the new structure would hide the gas tank from
the street which would be an improvement. He asked if there was anyone
present to speak in opposition of the request. There being no one to speak
in opposition of the request the Chair asked for a notion.
Mr. Tassone motioned to approve the request for variance. Mrs. Kerber
seconded the motion which carried unanimously.

minutes of the meeting of August 15, 1985 which had been deferred from
the beginning of the meeting. He asked Mrs. Kerber if she had comments
or corrections to make to the minutes. Mrs. Kerber stated that she had
come to city hall to listen to the tape of the meeting and that the
notion was as she had stated and therefore had no comments or corrections
to make. Chairman MacDonell asked if she would make a motion. Mrs. Kerber
motioned that the minutes of the meeting of August 15, 1985 be approved
