Approves

Variance

(Continued from Page 1) Flach responded.

"I would support approval of the variance provided that the health department okays the septic system." Gardiner stated, not waiting for Christie's return with the requested maps showing drainfield location and lot elevation. "You probably needed a soil engineer and not a couple of lawyers," he told Flach.

"He's certainly giving lawyers a hard time." commented Mrs. Brown, leaning over and patting Genebach on the arm.

"He always does." the attorney responded.

In one last shot. Gardiner insisted that Baumgardner and Genebach were "arrogant to bring us in as ill prepared as you have been." adding that he didn’t have all clay to waste waiting for information.

BZA member Pete F.stes immediately motioned that the variance be granted, meeting with unanimous approval from the rest of the board all just as Christie returned from Baumgardner's office.

"I don't have a vote but I think we should determine if it's in Hood plain before we take any action." insisted Barksdale, the planning commission’s non-voting representative on the BZA.

"We’re here (for a variance) because we were told it is in flood plain. I don't think the burden is on us to PROVE it is," countered Genebach.

Before the vote for adjournment called for by Gardiner. McNear remarked that he’d turned down Flach"s request for a building permit for six years on the grounds that the property lay in flood plain.
