There is some area to the rear of the house. 4. There is a natural drainage ditch to the rear and several loads of sand had been hauled in to give the house a good foundation. 5. The building will be a single-family residence. Mr. Bud Alexander, a neighbor to the south, spoke against the variance. Mr. Alexander also mentioned a drainage problem that would need attention before a permanent foundation could be ex- pected. After visual observation of the property and considering all the facts and testimony, it was moved by Mr. Berg seconded by Mr. Russell and unanimously carried to deny the applicant's request for the following reasons: 1. The property should have been surveyed and property lines established before any footings were constructed. 2.
