Fearful of "setting a prece- dent" in the city's highest resi- jdential zoning category, a two- 'man Committee of Adjust- |ment Wednesday night turned down Herman Kassinger's sec- ond appeal in two hearings. A minor zoning variation in one residential area may be considered a major infraction in an RiA zone, noted Frank McLellan. "He (Kassinger) had enough property for six lots with suffi- cient frontage," said Mr. Hc- Lellan. "'He didn't divide them up véry carefully." Mr. Kassinger has an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board pending*on last month's refusal by the committee to sanction lot sizes of 54, 57 and 59 feet on the same three lots.
