Nevada City planners allow two variances The Nevada City Planning Commission Thursday night approved variances and gave its permission to convert offices in the business district into apartments, Variances went to Le Roy Hoskins and Mrs, Norma Duskin to. complete construction which has been started, but fails to meet set back regulations required by city ordinance, Both applicants had obtained building permits from the county building department and said they were unaware of violating . an ordinance, City Attorney William Wetherall earlier suggested property owners have a responsibility in determining building in relationship to lot lines, At the same session John Weber, county building inspector, said the department in the past has not required that lot plans be submitted with requests for additional buildings. However, he announced such plans will be required in the future before permission is given to "drive a single nail." Mrs. Duskin was allowed to complete a patio and garage on Nevada Street and to split her property into two lots, with one having 10 feet less than the required 75-foot street frontage. Chairman William Lambert noted there is hardship and cited existing big boulders andasteep drop off as part of that hardship. Hoskins was given the variance to complete a carport on Commercial Street. He too had less than the required setback footage, His hardship was based on a “lot of difficult size and shape." City Manager Beryl Robinson Jr., by letter, recommended the variances be granted. The commission voted to allow Alice and Charles Moody to convert offices in the fipstairs of the Union Building to apartments providing owners provide off-street parking for tenants. Harry Dillberg, who claimed he was not representing any applicants present, was sharply critical of city and county procedures involving the building permits and improper setbacks. When the criticism went beyond the scope.of the planning commission and took a personal turn Lambert said: "Mr. Dillberg you are out of order; we don't handle that type of business."
