Proponents: (Continued) <br /> <br />Mr. Lewis Lubbock, 3618 S. Olive, stated that he lived next door to Mr. Baker <br />and that he would not like to see the addition torn down because of a technicality. <br /> <br />Opponents: <br /> <br />Mr. Ed Fulton, 3617 S. Ramona Drive, stated that he lived immediately <br />behind Mr. Baker; that the room had been completed a month before Mr. Baker <br />bought the house; that from his point of view, it is an eye-sore; that the noise <br />from the room had made it impossible for him to use his own back bedroom and <br />had caused him to lose a potential buyer for his property; and that the room has <br />devaluated his property. He stated further that the fireplace chimney is very <br />low causing smoke to come through his open windows. <br /> <br />Mr. Charles Kaufman, 3614 S. Ramona Drive, stated building codes and regulations <br />should be enforced; and that while Mr. Baker should not be penalized, someone <br />should bear the expense of restoring the building to legal standards. <br /> <br />Mr. Charles MacGregor, 3625 S. Ramona Drive, stated that granting of the <br />Variance would be an injustice to the property owner to the rear and he has <br />done nothing wrong. <br /> <br />Mr. William Slack, 3621 S. Ramona Drive, stated that he objected to the room <br />addition because it had not been built according to the building code. <br /> <br />Mrs. Edward Fulton, 3617 S. Ramona Drive and Mrs. ~ne~ D.
