She stated that the cement floor had been poured after the Building Inspector had directed Mr. Orth to discontinue construction until the matter had been handled by Council. Thomas Crosby stated that'this is not a new request but an extension of a previously granted variance and that the neighbor who is now complaining must have known an addition would be constructed because the footings had been there when he purchased the property. Mr. Orth stated that Mr. Sorenson, owner of the adjacent lot, had helped him finish digg- ing the footings, so he must have known at that time how close the building was being built. JoEllen Hurr explained because this is a non -conforming structure the ordinance does not allow for an addition.
