The meeting was opened at 7:35 P.M. in the Municipal Chambers. Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as received. Old Business - No old business was advanced for discussion. New Business - Two variance requests had been received and pro- perly posted for hearing at this time. Mr. Ivan E. Batchelor of 817 West 12th Street had requested a variance from the regulations of the RS-7 zone to permit him to construct an addition to a pre-existing, non- conforming, single-family residence. The existing structure doe~ not meet' present front and sideyard requirements. After a brief discussion, the members voted to recommend approval of the request. Mr. Donald Thompson, of 222 Lopez, had requested a variance from the regulations of the RS-7 zone to permit the con- struction of an attached carport with less than the required side- yard. Following a short discussion, it was voted to recommend approval of the request contingent upon the carport remaining unenclosed. Other Business Mr. Chester A Dahlberg of the Church of the First Born had requested an extension of the Conditional Use Permit granted him, in May 1969, to construct a church at approximately 17th and "0" Streets in an RS-7 zone. Financial problems have delayed the start of the proposed construction. A short discus- sion ensued and the members voted to recommend approval of the extension. At the same time, Mr. Dahlberg indicated the congregation is ready to start construction and requested per- mission to install a trailer on the property to be used as living quarters and watchmans shack during the construction period. Following a discussion, members voted to recommend this permission be granted only for the period of construction, and to be removed no later than September 1, 1970. Mr. Dahlberg was agreeable to this condition. Mr. Fred Jewell, of McDonald St., had submitted a land-swap proposal to the Planning Commission for City consideration. Mr. Jewell owns two dwellings which are situated in the platted right-of-way of west 14th street. An abutting property owner proposes to build to the east of Mr. Jewell's property and his only access would be across the portion of 14th Street occupied by the existing structures. Members discussed the proposal and questiorlJproblems of alignment of future streets, utilities and unforeseeable developements such as had occured in compareable situations elsewhere. The commission voted unanimously to deny the request, expressing the sentiment there was insufficient justification for the action and it was not, in their opinion, in the best interests of the City to participate. No other business was brought up, and following a short discussion or proposed zoning ordinance amendments, the meeting adjouned at 8:30. e . e ~p~J. J-1~ arr Hu t, Chairma . , ; . ~.
