removed and replaced with asphalt. Mead moved, seconded by Finegan, to
approve the variance as requested. Motion carried unanimously.
G. Behrens requested a variance on property located on the Lindig extension,
east of 1816 Tatum. He needs the variance to build a new home on the lot
because a road easement may take part of the property leaving less than

on the variance request due to the fact that no drawing was provided as
to placement of the home on the lot, .lot size and where the easement would
be located, the variance request was tabled to the next Planning Commission
meeting. The Planning Commission requested that the above referred to
information be furnished as well as information as to: (1) what provisions
are being made for extending the street, (2) the overall plan for the
development of the remaining Lindig property, and (3) has the storm
drainage issue been thoroughly discussed. Also, information was requested

issue should be placed on the next Planning Commission agenda.
