Chairman Michael Leddy opened the meeting with approval of
January 18, 1989 minutes with the correction of two errors on
Agenda Item #2.
Chairman Leddy then read the variance request. At this time,
the Floor was open to the public. Tom Houser was recognized
and given the floor.
Mr. Houser explained that the house at 5909 Mages was built
12 inches into the front building line without being caught
by the Field Superintendent or foundation crew. He further
explained that he felt that the 12 inch encroachment would
not deter from the over all appearance of the residential
section.

plied yes. Then asked was it occupied, he replied he did not
believe so but would check.
