closer to their bedroom window. I I I I I I i The Chairman declared the hearing open and asked if the ! : applicant wished to speak. I I
: MR. ED VASQUEZ stated that the reason for asking for i
this variance is that the lots are small, 50' x 50', and in ;
I order to build the apartments of this type it was necessari i to use every square foot that can be used, and it will be : I one of the nicest apartments in the City. The parking will! ; be below in the basement. He pointed out that similar : i variances have been granted in the past and the precedent I
; was set when the first apartment was built in the area wit! i a 7' setback and other variances in the area. He expects ; ; the apartment building to cost approximately $130 000. i
i The Chairman asked if there were any persons present i : wishing to speak in opposition to this variance. 1 I
i MRS. GARRETT, 2382 Ocean St. , statad that it is import!- ; ant to widen the street and the 5' setback would depreciate! i all of the property on the street. 1 HARVEY LANE, 2424 Garfield St. , stated that the variandes : on the other properties were there when the property was i
in the County and did not know of any front yard variances: I that had been granted since the property was in the City.
: There were no others present desiring to speak in opposi$ i tion.
/ MR. VASQUEZ I in rebuttal, stated that the entrance from!
; Normandy Lane would be a walkway and the cars would i I enter from Ocean Ave. He does not see any reason for I i widening of this street with the Engineering Dept. , and th<y ; were sf the opinion that the 2 1/2' would not do much to : i improve the street. I #
