Mr. Edward Morin addressed the Board and responded to questions. Mr. Morin stated that he wished to
continue to park his boat on the side of his property behind the fence where it has been parked for years.
Mr. Morin was asked if there was room to park the boat on the east side of his lot. He responded that
there was nowhere to park the boat on that side of the lot without tearing down his porch.
Ms. Doerr stated that this was an unusual and irregularly shaped lot in that it was wider than it was deep.
She said that this caused the Seminole Road side of the lot to be defined as the front of the lot, although
the front of the house and the driveway face 18~' Street. Mr. Morin was asked if he was willing to keep
his fence up, and to keep the boat at least eight feet from the west property line as suggested by Staff. He
responded that he had no objection.

conditions as set forth in the Staff Report.
