Under the pri.ginal: . , :. � �roposal, he ��*as�Z�illing to invest-large su�ns of r�aney in ordex� to improve the - --. _ propzrty. But with the propased change, he falt this taould cause a great depraciation - -in resale value of the.property, as a prospzctive 3uyer �ight balk, at such a Iirai.ted _ variar�ce. � - • Mr. Gill-said that he and Mr. :iughes had coork�d out what they,regard as a good _ co��roa.ise solu.tion, that the Board grant a variance for a certain term of years, - • - _� -`p�rtraps 30 or =35 years. ��•In this way; a prospectiu�:buye.x_would,k�ow exactly where ;,:.. _, ,;� � ha stood.

Hughes might have if the proposed change is made. If rlr. Hughes shbuld die or become disabled, this variance migh� conceivably cause financial hardship 'to his family if the pro;oerty,c�ould hav8 to be sold under this restriction after he had inves�ed a substantial amount of noney in impro�emants. Pending sale, in case of death, would the estate have to coma before t'ne Board for a continuance of the variance? If they did not, might the estate be found not in compliance and tne buiiding condemned, with consequent severe loss on - - the investment? _ M�. Gill also .cited another possible �hardship to �ir. Hughes. _ If he should decide . � to incorporate and place the property under the corporation, the restriction would ' - render such action impossible. - Chairman Wozniak stated that the purpose of the Board is to helg ind�viduals in hardship cases.: If rlr.
