and Doris Marshall present. Mr. Perry, Chief Building
Official, and Elizabeth Bethune, secretary, from the city
were present. Notices were read and participants were sworn

Whiteford with WDC Inc. the builder of the house on this
property presented his case. Mr. Whiteford asked for a
variance to allow the the garage to be left as is which is
closer to the apparent property line than is allowed by the
Zoning Ordinance. This property line is shown by a recent
survey. There were three surveys done on the property in
question, and one survey done on the neighboring property.
These surveys are not absolutely conclusive as to where the
property line is located.
Bud Bucanon with Presley Survey, was present to explain to
~ the board that his and the other surveys did not make a
conclusive determination of the property lines.
Buddy Bell, 4038 Swarthmore, spoke in favor of the variance.
Jamie McBride the prospective buyer of the property in
question spoke in favor of the variance.
Judy Glidden, 2735 Nottingham, and Attorney Pat Hancock
spoke in opposition. Ms. Glidden said she was never
approached in any way by the builder about the possible
conflict in the property line before, during, or after
construction.

that the property line is closer to the building than the
required distance of 3', there will need to be a variance
granted to leave the building in place.
