Chairman Mallory called the meeting to order and declared the public hearing open on the appeal of Anthony Nolan, Jr. for a variance to Section 9 -502 (2) of the City of Paris Zoning Ordinance on Lot 9, Block P, Tanglewood Estates located at 1030 31st S.E. Mr. Nolan was present and explained that his residence, which is on a corner lot, was built observing a front set back on both streets. He had started a carport on the north side of his house thinking that only a 10 foot set back was required. No permit was secured before start of construction due to a mixup between him and the contractor. A 30 foot building line was established by the plat of Tanglewood Estates along Abbott Lane and his carport would be in violation of the platted build- ing line. He requested approval to treat the Abbott Lane side as a side building line and be allowed to build the carport 10 feet from the property line. Homer Briggs, 3065 Abbott Lane and Harold Campbell, 3060 Abbott Lane were present in opposition to the request. They stated that the 30' building line should be observed. Letters from Mr. Campbell and Morris Tobin, 3064 Abbott Lane were placed on record in opposition to the variance. There was no one else to speak on the matter and the public hearing was closed. Discussion followed and Mr. Abbott made a motion to deny the variance saying that with the objections received, approval was not justified. Mr. Lightfoot seconded the motion which carried 5 ayes and 0 nays.
