Secretary Spencer introduced the application to the Board, stating that the applicant was requesting an encroachment into a proposed tennis court setback which is proposed on top of a parking structure. The public hearing was opened. The applicants. explained their proposal to the Board noting that if only one tennis court was built, according to code conformance with proper setbacks, a considerably large space would be left which could cause littering or other related problems.

There being no other parties present to speak on the application, the public hearing was closed.
