New Business - Three variance requests had been received and properly posted for hearing at this time. Mr..Charles E. Gilliland, 824 East Caroline had requested a variance which would permit him to enlarge an existing, non-conforming, single- family residence. The existing structure has insufficient front yard setback for an RS-7 zone and Mr. Gilliland wfishes to construct an additiona. four feet across the front of the building and an additional six feet along part of the east side. No one was present to discuss this request and the matter was tabled until the following meeting. Mr. E. A. Trierweiler of the Jehovah's Witnesses congregation at 1018 West 16th Street had requested a variance from the regulations of an RS-7 zone to enable them to install a mobile home behind the church. Recent acts of vandalism to the property prompted the request. One of the members of the congregation and his family propose~ to live on the premises and serve as caretakers. After due consideration, the members voted to recommend the request be denied. Mr. Gary Mennot, 1109 Craig Avenue, had requested a variance from the regulations of an RS-9 zone to permit him to enlarge an existing, non-conforming, single-family residence. The building, as it now exists, does not have sufficient front-yard setback from the north rJ.~gli,t,':'.ofrtway line of Craig Ave. Mr. ~~nnot was present and a short discussion followed. It is Mr. Monnot's intention to add to the west side at the house in a straight line with the present south wall - or front of the house.

Mr. McWilliams was directed to contact the various departments and make satisfactory arrangements for meeting their requirements. When all requirements have been satisfactorily complied with, memos from the departments should so indicate and a time and place for a public hearing on acceptance of the plat will be established.
