"No new evidence will be presented." At this time, Cuyler said, little discussion was given to any possible mediation. However, Cuyler indicated that any mediation decision could be left up to David and Francine Gomberg, the homeowners whose variance is in question, and their attorney. The case stems from the construction of the Gomberg's home at 421 Raintree Place. The City granted the Gombergs a variance which the plaintiffs allege was inappropriate. The variance permitted the Gomberg's home to be set back 28 feet from the cen- terline of the 35 foot roadway easement located on Twin Ponds Drive. The variance also granted a 30.5 foot set back from that same centeriine for a swimming pool and screened enclosure.
