November 27th, 1989 and was told at that time a survey or
plot plan would be required in order to receive approval.

Mr. Schneiders ' application with a contingency of him
submitting a survey or plot plan and meeting the twenty-five
( 25 ' ) foot rear setback requirement. On January 8th, 1990 Mr.
Schneider was again placed on the Plan Review Committee
agenda. Mr. Schneiders ' request was to build within eight
(8 ' ) feet six (6" ) inches of the rear property line. There is
a twenty (20 ' ) utility and drainage easement in his rear yard
and being a golf course lot a twenty-five ( 25 ' ) foot setback
requirement. The Plan Review Committee denied his application
for building permit.
Mike Hamper, Chairman of Planning and Zoning Commission and
Plan Review Committee, told the ZBOA the reasons stated above
were indeed the reasons for denial . Mr. Hamper also stated
the Zoning Board of Adjustments is the only group that can
