marks which could be easily located, Mr. McCarthy said.
“I feel quite strongly that the, owner and contractor bear the responsibility for determining the setback requirements. It is too difficult and too much to expect from one inspector to do that.”
Mr. McCarthy said he recognizes the problem of a precedent set by the commission’s ratification of Mr. Clifton’s mistake. “There must be demonstrable evidence that this was an honest mistake. That seems to be the case.”
Mr. Massie, however questioned future cases. “When applications in general come before the commission, do we set a precedent for people who don’t read their building permit... I don’t know what more the county can do. It says right on the permit that the building is not to be located within 100 feet of the property line. And Mr. Clifton, where you signed it is less than one-half inch from that statement. I read your letter which says that you didn’t know about the setbacks. Then I read the permit, and it says right here, TOO foot setbacks’.”
“It was an honest mistake,” Dr. Krebser added, “and it doesn’t affect the planning process.”
The planners voted 4-1, with Mr. Massie opposed, to recommend to the BZA that Ms. Nash’s application for a variance be granted.
