RICHARD MILLER VARIANCE HEARING TO BUILD A GARAGE CLOSER TO THE ROAD AT 11055 32ND STREET N.: Mayor Armstrong opened the hearing at 9:45 p.m. Mr. Miller's property is not wide enough to allow the garage to be placed next to his residence.

Residents on either side of Millers' sent letters indicating on objection. There was no one in the audience for the hearing.
