Comm. Hales moved adoption of Resolution P. c. 154-35.5 granting this zone
variance for the reasons that it will give the house o:a Lot 1 as describ~d
on the plot plan an adequate side yard; give clear title to the fence 1m
the north side of the parcel to the owners of Lot 1; and e~ven though this
is technically a lot split within the meaning of the ordinance, there is
such a minimal amount :lf land imrol ved as far a.s.ciqi, lot split .is co11ce:•11~d and
not a lot split within the usual sense of the ~1n::,;-:d as it is u.nderirt;,od, it would
be a hardship to the applicant not to grant this variance. Comm. Black
