Minutes - Page 5 September 20, 1979 ? Still 7,000 square feet? Ferris: That's according to the covenance. In item #4, let me read this to you. Lot Area and Width: No building shall be erected, structurally offered or permitted to remain on the above described real property, unless the ground area provides for such a dwelling, shall consist of up to 7,000 square feet and shall have a width of lot along the minimum building setback line of at least 70 feet. Davi es: Did that answer you question? All right. Mr. Chairman? Ross: Mr. Davies? Davies: I would like to comment on Mr. DiCarlo's statement when he said that the building that he desires is~not even started yet and the one up on Mesa Point was well under way. Which is very true. But as soon as Mr. Ferris' assistant found this error in the prints, he went up and stopped the builder right then. He stopped construction and it took the City, now I'm not going to say who the City is, but undoubtedly it would have to be Mr. Wurl, or the City Manager, or some- one in authority, who told him to continue. Only there was a 1 ittl e bit of a bottl eneck there, too. "You can continue but it will have to go to a variance and if they find you at fault and do not grant your variance, then you will have to cut it out." Now, I'd just like to have that made plain, that we be informed on this part. Well, my comments on this thing here is I was not present at the last hearing for that application for a variance up around Mesa Point subdivision up there. But it seems to me that we're entering into a personality conflict here. Now, this gentleman is asking for a variance that has nothing to do with the last variance. The variance is what we're here for tonight, and there is no construction going on at the present time in Bella Vista. So I think we're getting a little bit off the track here, okay, we should act from the Variance. Now whatever took place at that last meeting, or the last hearing that was conducted from the City Hall, I don't think this should reflect on this hearing tonight. So, those are my comments on this. Don? Ross: Pickett: Yeah, Don Pickett here. What I have to say is that when we're trying to compare one against the other I think each one of these situations has to be considered on it's indi- vidual merit of the situation that we have before us that evening. There's a big difference between having this room full of people objecting to a situation, and having no one here but the applicant himself. And when we have a group of people and neighbors objecting to, we don't have the same situation we have here and I think we can treat this as the case that we have.here tonight, and the last one over and done with. .
