The meeting of the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals was held at the Town Highway Barn , Elmira Road , on July 12 , 1961 at 7 : 30 P . M . It was duly publicized in the ITHACA JOURNAL on July 6 , 1961 . Members of the Board present were : Chairman William Rolston , David Powers , and Aldus Fogelsanger , Others present were : Zoning Officer . Robert Wells , and A . Zeipe , Mr . Zeipe seeks permission for construction of a garage closer than seven feet to a side lot line at his home , 228 Coddington Road . The Zoning Officer put a stake seven feet from the lot line which is the lawful dustance and issued a permit for erection of the garage . Now the contractor states. that this does not allow space enough to properly support the garage roof and install doors . The petition asks that the garage be allowed to be four feet from the line . Due to topography of the land , ( the drive -way is below grade ) , and various conditions that exist on this property including lack of cooperation on the joint drive -way which is reported impossible to remedy , the Board feels that it is • necessary to grant this variance allowing the garage to be built as close to the line as four feet six inches . The Board considered the conditions of unnecessary hardship and . safety in getting the car off the street and under cover . On motion moved and seconded , the variance was unanimously granted . There being no further business , the meeting was adjourned . Respectfully submitted , _ Aldus Fogelsanger , Secretary Pro Tem .
