NEW BUSINESS
Request for Setback Variance - 44 Sixth Street; Lots 5 & 6, Block
20, Atlantic Beach Subdivision A - Mr. and Mrs. Papazian
Charles King, architect for the Papazians, presented the Board
with a plan of the lower level of the existing house. He
indicated that they proposed to build an attached garage on the
north side of the building that would encroach the 15'
required side yard by an additional 4' , leaving a 6' side
setback. He stated that the variance was necessary to allow
placement of the stairs at the logical place, and because there
were existing brick piers in the existing structure that dictates
how the garage could be constructed.
Mr. White asked the Papazians if the neighbors had indicated an
interest in the variance. Mrs. Papazian replied that no one had
approached her about the variance. One neighbor was present.
Mrs. Kerber asked why the entrance to the garage could not be in
the rear of the building. Mr. King replied that the brick piers
were in the way.
Mr. White stated that he saw a hardship due to the design of the
existing structure, but overall found it difficult to see a
hardship since they could build a detached garage in the rear
yard. Mr. Papazian replied that he was out of town frequently
and that Mrs. Papazian would not feel safe with a detached garage.

Mr. White motioned to approve the variance. Mrs. Kerber seconded
the motion which carried unanimously.
