One :letter opposing the request was received by Mr, Rooney and passed out to the members on the Board, Mr. Vines asked Mr. Rooney if surveyors were required to obtain a city license of any bind and whether they needed to be bonded. fro Rooney explained that surveyors receive a state license, bart not a city license. He went on to explain that the bonding would have assisted the contractor in this ease, not the city, and it would be up to the contractor to make sure the surveyor they hire is riot inakling errors. Mr. Rooney said lie would, however, look into the possibilities of requiring surveyors to be licensed, Mr. Eckel wanted to make sure that the Board would not be perceived as setting a precedence by (ranting a variance. Mr. looney explained that had Mr. freeman not owned the abutting last, than guaranteeing the structures being a rninirnurn of 10 feet apart, it would be extremely difficult to recommend anything but denial. He also stated that due to the small amount of last frontage, a lot split was not recommended in this case. Following discussion and questions, Mr. Barrett moved to grant the variance subject to staff's recommendation, The motion was seconded by Mr. Eckel.

After reviewing several different meeting night possibilities, the Board recommended that their meetings be moved to the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7.00 PM if there needs to be a meeting. Mr. Rooney stated that he would send notices if no business needed to be discussed. lira Rooney explained that after the July 13th meeting, all Board meetings would be held on the fourth Tuesday of each month.
