Mr, Drigans said that Mr. Miles will have to get a'special use permit
because he is in the wrong zoning.
Mr. Miles explained that he went into debt for it. The kit cost him about
$1100.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked Mr. Miles if he was planning to have cement footings.
He said that he was thinking of using white rcck.
She also asked about drainage. He did not respond.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked how Mr. Miles planned to accomu,odate numbers of people
as far as the commercial end of this goes. Mrs. Miles explained that they
have a large driveway.
Mr. Mattson explained that a staff recommendation was that there be
nothing sold out of this greenhouse that was not grown there.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Crowder, to elose the public hearing.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
The members of the board discussed the fact that there are a number of
trees on the lot. This allows Mr. Miles only one general area on
which to build his greenhouse and still provide adequate sunlight.
They considered the fact that Mr. Miles has spent $1100 already.
Mr. Plemel said that the fact that neither of the two neighbors had
complained, was a good point in Mr. Miles' favor. Mr. Plemel added that
there should be some drainage. There should be some thought given to it.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Crowder, to recommend approval pending action
by the Planning Commission on a special use permit.

MOTION by Plem el, seconded by Crowder to open the public heari g. Upon a-
voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Jim George, of Tr�.-Co Builders was present to present the request.
Mr. George showed the board plans for the proposed structure and explained
that this dwelling will be a split entry, a•1'� story building.
A number of people from the neighbor3iood came forward to view the plans.
One of these people, Mr. Gerald Steinhorst, of 616 Glencoe Street, explained

that this property line is 12 feet from his door. He definitely opposed
the idea of having a structure so near his home. It was explained that the
variance applied to the size of the house and that all setback requirements
wPre being met.
Another concerned resident of 600 Glencoe Street explained that he had
worked to get this building code established, and he felt that it
shou2dn't be changed to meet the needs of certain individuals. Mr. Drigans
said that in the case of a landlocked, 50-foot lot such as this, construc-
tion of a house on that 50 feet is allowed.
Mr. George said that his company had purchased these lots in 1967 and 1968
with the idea that they were building sites. He said that they were told
they could build on a 50-foot lot.
Another concerned resident felt that this could be a fire hazard. She asked
why a code was written for 7500 square feet if it wasn't to be kept.
Mr. Drigans exp2ained that there is a grandfather clause which states that
construction may take place on a 50-foot lot in certain instances.
Mr. Crowder asked what the additional 50 feet of land would add to the total
cost. Mr. George said that this would mean an approximate difference of
$4500.
Mr. Drigans aaked whether this lot was located in the flood plain.
Mr. George said that this was a few blocks down. He added that proper
drainage would be used. A concerned resident stated that he had had problems
with that before in another case. Proper drainage had not been used.
MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Crowder to close the public hearing.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Plemel, that in view of the hardships
expressed by the purchaser of the landlocked p'iece of property,
and in view of the fact that he has asked for a permit for a building
which meets all other codes, we recommend approval of this variance to
allow construction on this piece of progerty. Upon a voice vote, there
being no nays, the mction carried.

ihe Pu61ic 'r.'orks Director expJained ±he request was to build a retait establishment
on the corner of 79th and East River Road. He said this would also take some consid-
eration of variances. He pointed out that the variances were discussed by the Board
of Appeals on Page 7-C of the agenda. The Public Works �i�rector listed the variance� �
and said the Board of Appeals had suggested that the last variance be eiiminated.
He said the Board of Appeals felt there should be�a 7ittle morelanc�sraning and
green area and suggested that the three parking stalis be eliminated. He said
the elimination of the three stalls. would not cause a problem. The Public Works
Director said the proposal.would compare to the constructionon the corner of Old
Central and Rice Creek Road, but this proposal would have more landscaping and green
area. He said the Building Standards-Qesign Control Subcommittee had recommended
approval with a number of stipialations. He read the stipulations to the Council
�and audience. The Public Works Director referred to the letter on Page 7-K of the
agenda fran the adjoining property owners Attorney Mr. Ri�chard �. Fudali representing
Five Sands Development. He said all of the concerns listed by the adjoining '
property owner had been worked out.

run the entire length of the property. �
The Pub7ic Works Director indicated that Mr. Dave Nordale was present representing
Meridian.
Mr. Ken Sporre asked if the entrance proposed for East River Road would be needed.
He questioned why the entrance on 79th would not be sufficient and mentioned
that there is a prob7em �n gaining access to East River Road at the present time.
He suggested that this driveway be eliminated and a stop signal be.installed.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked what the time table would be for the installation of the .'
signal on 79th. The City Manager said it-is n0.t in the budget for 1975. Even it it
was in the budget, the County would also have to okay this in their budget. He said
this would be one or two years at least. . � . ���
Mr. Sporre said he wouldlike a copy of all of the communications concerning the '�
proposed signal on this intersection. He said�he would like to meet with the ,
county Comnissioners and present this information to them.
The City Manager said there is no question that the City had submitted a plan�to the �
County. He said the Council would have to provide the money in the budget.for hatf of
the funding before the County would take any action on this. He said the City had .
been in contact with the County and there response was that this is not warranted.. .
Mr. Sporre said he would like a copy of the correspondence on what has been said .
by the City and the response of the County. H e said he would like to see what the �
City h'ad requested of them. He said he did not think the Council should approve
