ever sold pa.r-t ai his lot, all his bu.ilding vaould be on the one lo�e
Mr. Drigans said the prc�blem with the placement of this garage is th�.�t
the driveway will be 85 feet long, which will make the reguired hard
sur�ace driveway very exp�nsive, Mr. Barsne�s said there would be
26 feet more because o� the boulevard. He said he knew this would �,e
r.ostly.
Mr. Drigans asked what �ype of construction this garage would be
and what utilities would be in i-t. Mr. Sarsness said the garage would
be wood frame and he didn't intend to have any utilities, not even
electricity, because it was too far from the house. He said he thought
he would install some kind of alarm sys-tem.
