Mr. and Mrs. Martin, while raising their family, have lived in La Porte for 33 <br />years and have plans to remain here as Mr. Martin is now retired. The Martins were <br />unaware the new home they purchased was a bit larger than would be allowed on the lot <br />and are now requesting favorable consideration of a variance to remedy the problem. <br />C. Public Comments <br />Mark Follis, 831 S. 7th St., was sworn in by Chairman Rothermel. Mr. Follis spoke in favor of <br />granting the variance, given the unique situation of the property. A detention pond exists <br />beyond the rear of the subject property; therefore there are no homes that would be <br />affected.
