A call to the public was made with the following responses: Sandra Martini- 4007 Homestead, I live directly across the street on the corner. My only concern is the garage coming off of the service drive. With company there are more cars there to park and we have grandchildren and there are children that live there too. John Martini- Mr. Curt Brown's (4001 Homestead Drive) driveway is off of the service drive, but there is enough room to park in the driveway.
Joe Perry- My parents live next door, (3985 Homestead) we are very excited about there being improvement to the house, being that you pay a lot for a lake view. The house being closer would obstruct the view from their great room and master bedroom.
Moved by Ledford, supported by Figurski, for a west front yard setback of 21.5 feet, a south front yard setback of 11 feet, a side yard setback 5 feet and a 49.6 foot waterfront setback. The variance is conditioned upon garage access on Homestead Drive. The hardship is the narrowness of the lot. Motion carried unanimously.
