SIDE TOWARD R1 3O SAME COMMENTS THE ABOVE DATA IS OFFERED TO SAVE SOME THE TIME OF FIGURING !T, AND TO POINT OUT THAT THE FIGURES ARE PRACTICALLY WORTHLESS THIS DESIGN :DOES- NOT HAVE FENCE LIKE WALLS PARALLEL TO THE PROPERTY LINES. THIS DESIGN EFFECTIVELY OPENS THE PERIMcTER AREAS OF THE LOT TO NEIGHBOR AND MOTORIST ALIKE. I AM MAKING THIS. APPEAL NOW, WHCLE: [SHOULD HAVE MADE IT SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN I BEGAN THE DESIGN, BECAUSE [WAS GIVEN INCORRECT INFORMATION WHEN I PHONES NEW BRIGHTON CITY HALL FOR SET BACK REQUIREMENTS. BEFORE JULY FIFTH, t WAS SURE THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM OBTAINING A BUILDING PERMIT AND' I PROCEEDED ON MANY FRONTS. I MORTGAGED MY HOUSE AND BOUGHT THE LOT, I PREPARED THE PLANS -AND TOOK BIDS ON EXCAVATION AND FOUNDATION WORK. WE WERE READY TO DIG JULY N"INTR. THIS DELAY. IS VERY COSTE:Y. THE INTEREST ON MY LOAN IS $17.00 A DAY AND GOOD CONSTRUCTION WEATHER IS GROWING SHOF.~T, THIS DELAY COULD KILL. MY HOPE OF BUILDING A HOME.. !F YOU ENFORCE THE SIDE YARD RESTRICTIONS,- ACCORDING TO CODE, ON THIS LOT,.THE TOTAL REQUIRED IS 50 FEET WHICH EQUALS ONE-HALF THE WIDTH OF THE LOT. THIS 1S DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS LOT [S SANDWICHED I@irTWEEN THE STREET AND AN R-1 LOT. THE TOTAL WOULD BE ONLY t0 FEET IF THIS WERE A TYPICAL DUPLEX LOT. -THE TOTAL REQUIRED WOULD ONLY BE TEN FEET -FOR A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING 1N AN R-I DISTRCYCT. I FEEL THIS ENFORCEMENT OF THE CODE WOULD BE EXCESSIVE AND DISCRIMINATORY.
