Enger, Zoning Assistant; W. G. Massarene, Zoning Supervisor. The meeting was called to order, the notice read and the following cases heard: Appeal by J. E. & R. E. Smithback from the denial of a permit to build a warehouse on a parcel of land in the SWa NEi of Section 36, Town of Madison. Permit denied because set back from the road is less than required by Dane County Zoning Ordinance. THOSE IN FAVOR: Mr. J. E. Smithback appeared and explained his plans for a warehouse on the property. To maintain the required set back would put his building 5 feet behind existing buildings, which are non-conforming as to set back. This would also make it hard to unload trucks at the rear of the building. The same set back as existing buildings (55 feet c/1) was requested. THOSE OPPOSED: Don Hopke, James V. Thompson, Lee Coyier appeared and questioned use of the building. The C-2 Zoning was pointed out as allowing general warehousing. They were not opposed to the 55 feet, upon questioning by Mr. Eisner. TOWN BOARD: Harvey Schmidt, Chairman; H. D. Frederick and Don Pierstorff, Supervisors. Mr. Schmidt said the Town was in favor of granting the variance. ACTION BY THE BOARD: Mr. Holte moved, Mr. Erickson seconded and the motion carried. Appeal by James R. Kampen from the denial of a permit to build a tavern on a parcel of land in the SW54 SW',4 of Section 22, Town of Westport.

THOSE IN FAVOR: James R. Kampen and David Meier, attorney appeared and explained the petition. Mr. Henry said that while it would not be legal for the Board to grant a zoning variance, in this instance a variance could be granted to correct a clerical error.
