The purpose of the special meeting was to consider a problem in regards to a
home contemplated on the North end of Midway by Boise-Cascade Corporation.
This would require a variance in the present Zoning Ordinances as the home
contemplated is of sufficient size to reduce the side yard to 7 -1/2 feet.
Mr. Charles '!Chuckll Summers requested a variance for the following reasons:
1. The second house constructed on Midway North of Circle "S"
Drive (house number 2385 Midway) was placed partially on
Groberg's property. Groberg's sold the Security Construction
Company the necessary land to bring the lot size into compliance.
This changed the boundaries of the remaining lot going north.
2. Plan started prior to January 1, 1974 and indi..vidupL was not
aware of the ten (10) foot side yard requirement.
3. The present neighbors on both sides of the property in question
would like to see planned home constructed. See attached, signed
letter dated January 22, 1974.
I
4. The plan for the side yards for this development had already been
established before the new ordinance became effective and only
two (2) lots remain undeveloped.
5. By allowing a 7 -1/2 foot side yard the contemplated house will
conform in size, value, and floor space with the other homes along
this section of Midway.
6. Total distance between the proposed home and the adjacent homes
both on the North and the South will be at least nineteen (19) feet
according to Mr. Richard Groberg as reported by Mr. Charles
I!Chuck,1 Summers.

securing answers to their questions, the following motion was made by Councilman
Russell N. Swensen - III move that a variance be granted to Boise-Cascade Cor- I
po ration on side yard requirement as requested by their Representative-Mr.
