site plan was reviewed, --Chairman Buckner entertained discussion
from the Board.
Vice Chairman Woods once again expressed grave concern that errors
of this nature were not being discovered during the early inspec-
tion process. He further commented that he did not appreciate the
Board being placed in a position to "have to" approve the requested
variances as a result of the structure being completed or near com-
pletion. He stated that he felt the ultimate responsibility was
with the builder and asked that the City Staff and developer work
toward property lines being adequately marked so that the building
inspector could properly inspect the site.
There being little other discussion, Vice Chairman Woods made a
motion that a five foot rear yard variance be approved on Lot 11,
Block 2, Parra Linda Estates. The motion was seconded by Member
