I call your attention to Paragraph 13, This seems to be unhappy language for by implication it suggests that the Board does have the power to waive regulations in the Code on matters other than the basic zone of the property. I am sure the Council would never accept this. Also, in Paragraph 2 on page 2, the word "appropriate" seems to be most indefinite. Perhaps this is the best that can be done, but I don't think so. Sincerely, If Edward L. Butterworth ELB:tw Ene.
