Britt and the applicant and finds: 1. That the applicant did not personally attempt to purchase sufficient land to conform to the 75 ft. width requirement; 2. A Mr. Peterson, either at the request of the applicant or for himself, did attempt #o purchase property for the applicant's site; 3. The adjoining property owner, lzx.

Peterson informed the applicant of his unsuccessful negotiations with th Nar. Britt S. Mr. Britt still refuses to sell merely the number of feet needed by the applicant, to conform to the 75 ft. width requirement; 6. The applicant, relying upon the Council's grant of a variance has completed the foundation of multiple ,dwelling on the .subject lot; and WHRYUS the Council concludes: 1.
