In discussing the variance, County Administrator John McCarthy said the BZA might consider a less severe standard than “hardship approaching confiscation” because an outbuilding is a less intensive use than a house.

This argument persuaded three of the five BZA members. The vote was 3 to 2 in favor of granting the variance. Chairman Louis G. “Butch” Zindel was joined by members Jennifer Matthews and Jimmy Swindler Jr. in voting for the variance. Members Sid Gottlieb and Alex Sharp voted against the variance because they said the hardship from denying the variance would not be severe.

“He was going to build it anyway," Mrs. Matthews said. She said she had supported the variance because the garage would look better with a sloping roof.

The vote was 3 to 0 in favor of the special use permit for a family apartment for Ann Harmon. Mr. Zindel and Mrs. Matthews did not vote on the issue because Mrs. Matthews’s husband, architect Dwight Matthews, had done design work for Mrs. Harmon, and Mr. Zindel said he might be building the apartment.

Mrs. Harmon said she would live in the apartment built into the loft story of a horse barn while her daughter, veterinarian Joyce Harmon, lived in the main house.
