CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Attorney Robert Meyer requested permission to speak regarding the
variance request for 621 Aspen Avenue. Meyer was told the meeting
started at 8:30 and was not in attendance during discussion of the
variance request for 621 Aspen Avenue. Meyer represents Vernon
Witt, 623 Aspen Avenue, who objected to the variance stating
possible traffic hazard, elimination of the view, reduction of
property value, and the insufficient need to meet the variance
criteria. Witt purchased the property knowing the codes and
understood they would be upheld. Chairman Doylen reported the
variance was allowed. Attorney White stated the Board of
Adjustment is the final decision of the Town; the next step would
be District Court. Meyer reported that steps will be taken within
the law to overturn the variance.
