PUBLIC HEARING -VARIANCE REQUEST -LEE GIFFORD City Council, sitting as a Board of Adjustment considered a request by Mr. Lee Gifford for a Variance of 5 feet in the Front Yard Set- back requirement of R1A Zoning, in order to construct a residence on his property described as Lot 3 in Dickson Shores Subdivision. Mr. Gifford had advised in his request that inasmuch as Lot 3 was of irregular shape, it would be very difficult to design a residence to meet R1A zoning requirements without penetrating into the seback area. Mr. Ralph Havlin, spokesman for a group of abutting and adjoining property owners to this location, appeared before Council in opposition to any variance in the required front yard setback, explaining there was an existing residence abutting this property which had honored the required setback and thereupon a front building line had been established and was in compliance with all regulations. Mr. Max Judy, representing Mr. Gifford who was unable to be present, advised that he was in agreement with the expression of Mr. Havlin, and that a variance to the rear yard setback, if there be no opposi- tion, would ably serve the same purpose as desired by Mr. Gifford. Mr. Havlin advised the group had no opposition to a variance being granted in the rear yard, whereupon motion was made by Councilman Beals, seconded b Councilman Schroe a and unanimousl carried that a 5 variance to t e required rearyar setback be granted. BOY'S RANCH REQUEST City Manager Tiffany reported a request had been received for per- mission to sell beach items at Jaycee Beach on weekends to help support the Florida Boys Ranch Foundation, Inc. of Groveland, such items being beach balls, floats, etc. It was the opinion of Council- man Schroedel that such items were dangerous, especially to the younger children, and he would be opposed to the sale of them at the beach. It was the opinion of Councilman Blackburn that if the sale of such items to benefit a non-profit organization would not be in conflict with the existing lessee of the Jaycee Beach Restaurant, he would be in favor of granting the request, and there- upon so moved. The motion died for lack of a second.
