This was a continuation of his request made during the April 23rd meeting. Mr. Ludwig stated that he will reduce the depth of the porch to 4', to make it less obtrusive.

Poynter, 911 S. 5th Avenue - 82' variance to construct a two -car garage in front of his house. Mr. Poynter stated that he has an existing garage under his house but that he can't use it because the road down to it is aften unpassable during the winter months. The street, Hudson Street, is unpaved and is not maintained by the City.

Mr. Farrell moved to deny the variance with the understanding that there is a hardship due to the problem with Hudson Street. If the City is unable to improve the condition of Hudson Street, then Mr. Poynter should be allowed to build a second garage up in front of his house. Motion seconded by Dean Miller and passed unanimously. Case No. 532 Ronald Axdahl, 13440 Boutwell Road, Special Use to operate a small machine shop out of his garage.
