Paul G?, 5741 145m Court, Ramsey, stated that his house would be across from the "dog house" lot and what they have been told by Mr. Black is that the lot would need a variance in order for construction of home to take place because it is a narrow piece of property. H'e'~stated that he understands that expansion needs to happen, but it does need to be done ri.g~t~;~d thinks Mr. Black has those intentions.
