The request of Anthony R. ~algano for a variance to utilize a travel trailer as living quarters in an RB-7 zone had been referred back to the Planning Commission by the City Council. This request had been recommended for denial at the Sept. 28 meeting. One of the members reported a conversation with Dr. Galgano in which he indicated he expected to make other arrangements in 3 or 4 months and this request would be a temporary expedient. Following a brief discussion the members voted to recommend approval of the application for a period of six months. New Business Karen McFarland had requested permission to install a mobile home on the SQuth&8rt corner of 19th and IlF" Streets to be used for living quarters1~H~ ~nd her brother attend Peninsula Community College.

D. ~~yers had requested a variance to permit alterations to a pre-existing, non-conforming service station in an RS-7 zone. The site involved is the Texaco Station on the southwest corner of 9th and Lincoln Streets. The company desires to update the appearance of the station and erect a canopy over the present pump island. Members found no objections to the request and voted to recommend approval. Mr. Robert Bowen had requested a variance to permit him to enlarge his existing single family residence at 1202 East 3rd. The problem arises due to the platting of the lots in this particular ~ubdivision. The area which would normally be considered sideyard is technically a rear yard and requires a twenty-five foot setback. Since Mr. Bowen will be providing slightly over twelve feet of set- back, the Planning Commission voted to recomQend the request be approved. Mr. Johnie Key had requested permission to occupy a travel trailer at 3303 MacDougal Street as a temporary residence for 90 days until construction of a new residence progresses far enough to permit occupancy. Follnwing a brief discussion members voted to recommend approval of the request.

The property involved is the service station on the northwest corner of 8th and Race Streets. After a brief discussion, members voted to recommend ap~rovalJ of the extension for one year. Other Business Mr. James Doyl~, ~f Alpin~ ~uilder5, was in to inquire abo~ the setback requirements for a corner lot in the RS-7 zone, under the newly amended zoning ordinance. He was advised the 25 foot set back on the side street ,had been reduced to 13 feet. Mr. Doyle asked if it would then be permissible to enlarge an existing 5ingle- family residence with more than the 13 foot set-back but less than the 25. It was explained that while the amendments had been approved, the necessary ordinance had not yet been passed, so the 25 foot requirement was still official. Members voted to recommend the Building Inspector be authorized to grant Mr. Doyle a building permit recognizing the thirteen foot setback requirement. A short discussion took place among the members relative to various areas that have been mentioned as possibly being proposed for rezoning to RMF. The Secretary reported that to date, only two applications have been received, but that two others have been discussed with different parties inquiring about re-zoning procedures. No further business was presented and the meeting adiourned at 8 :40 P. M. ".
