Mr. Wullschleger presented a letterAfrom Mr. Edward B. Polak, 1 Boulder
Brae Lane, and requested that it be read.
Mr. Polak, in his letter, stated that he wished to change the basis of
his objection to the Rockledge application. Heretofore such objection
was based on his ownership of Boulder Brae Lane where the same is con-
tiguous to his property and also of the one-foot strip of land adjoining
the north side of Boulder Brae Lane and running from Dudley Lane in a
westerly direction to the Winged Foot Golf Course and also his belief that
such ownership gave him an absolute right to prevent the granting of the
application. He went on to say that he now withdraws any claim to owner-
ship of Boulder Brae Lane and of the one-foot strip, but not his opposi-
tion to the granting of the application.
He concluded by stating that he would have no objection to the applicant
building as near the street lines as he may wish and as the Board may con-
sent, if no part of the building goes further west than 80 feet from
the Dudley Lane street line. Such a structure would not be directly oppo-
site his home or obstruct his view.
Mr. Moody appeared and addressed the Board and answered questions.
Mr. Francis B. Upham, Jr. , Mr. Polak' s attorney, also appeared.
After discussion, the Board went into executive session and on motion
duly made and seconded, it was
