Patsy Daniels, representing her father -in -law, Jesse Clark Daniels, 910 E.
Washington. Mr. Jesse Daniels property backs up to this property and they
wanted to know why the slab was poured before the variance was granted .
Also, concerned that the alley between the property is all grown up. The
construction manager for Paris Living stated that the reason the slab was
poured was because they had applied for some HOME loan grants and was
in a bind construction wise and had a time line to get them done. He just took
over as construction manager and was all backed up and not sure of where
the property line was. The manager went ahead with the construction and
after the survey realized they had messed up —that is when construction was
stopped and the variance request was submitted. There are 2 fences on both
sides of the property -50 foot between the 2 fences and the assumption was
made that that was the property line.
