Page 3. • • Board member Ernest Marinelli asked Mr. Colabello the scheduled time of completion Mr. Colabello stated that the completion of the project would take thirty days, weather permitting. Board member Don Pickett inquired as to the size of the exist- ing building. Mr. Colabello stated that the existing building on the lot is 26' X 19' in dimension. Board member Bob Davies asked Mr. Stephan's opinion on his suggestion that the structure be set farther south for fire safety purposes, Mr. Stephan stated that the reason for placing the structure to the north was to obtain as close to ten feet between the buildings as possible. Board member Ernest Marinelli suggested that should the variance be granted a time limit be stipulated. Mr, Marinelli suggested that perhaps a six month time limit be stipulated. Mr. Stephan explained to the Board that a City building permit is good for as long as the construction work is continuous, Mr. Stephan felt that a six month time stipulation would be. very liberal. Board member Bob Davies expressed his concern that granting Mr. Colabello's variance would set a precedent for future applicants seeking a like variance, Mr. Davies wondered if this would not be a snag in the Zoning Ordinance, Mr. Stephan commented that the new ordinance specifies in a provision that an auxilary building can be built within two feet of a party -line. He added that the new ordinance has provision that states the buildings must be ten feet apart, Mr. Marinelli felt__that the Board of Adjustment members must take each applicant individually as there might be irregularities and conditions that would merit a variance, Mr. Davies concurred with Mr. Marinelli but added that he felt e had to express his concern. Ernest Marinelli moved that the Board of Adjustment amend the variance to stipulate a time limit of six months for completion of the project. The motion was seconded by Bob Davies.
