Mr. LuBien pulled the original plans for the pool which indicate it was built in 1951. Mr. Beyra stated that, there was a stepping stone type deck which was difficult to maintain, because of weeds & grass growing be- tween and over the stones; therefore, is requesting to make the deck of poured concrete. Having the deck is the easiest means to maintain the pool. He has no intention for screen enclosure in the foreseeable future. Following discussion, concerning screen enclosure in the setback, Mr. Laubenthal moved, the applicants justified request for variance be approved, with the stipulation that no screen enclosure be aklowed in the same 3' setback. Mr. McClure seconded the motion. Much discussion continued. Mr. Duffy stating there is no acute hardship to justify a variance.
