His letter of June 25, 1982 (received after preparation of the staff report) was referenced; this letter proposed cutting the length oi the cabana two feet, moving the structure eight feet from the side property line, lowering the roof to eleven feet and constructing on a concrete slab. Mr. Kilki also stressed his need for storage space. Chm. Mink opened the public hearing. There were no comments in favor. Marjorie A. Bean, 1445 Drake Avenue spoke in opposition: questioned the need for such a large cabana; expressed concern about on-street parking since the property has no garage at present; indicated present proposal does not respond to the Council's previous suggestions; moving the structure closer to the residence does not make the project more acceptable to the neighbor; noise could be a concern; approval could set a precedent.
