Mr.. & Mrs. Drank Hoffman appeared regarding their request for a hardship
variance to permit the building of a house on a lot owned by them. The
subject lot has only a 100' frontage instead of the required 125. Council
man Shervheim moved that the requested variance be denied in accordance
with the recommendation of the planning commission for the reason set forth
in the planning commission's report and on the grounds that: (1) The
Hoffmans purchased the lot while knowing thata building xmx±kxpxxi±2xlar_
ZN.%XXXX4RXXXIXK permit could not be issued for a lot of that size, and (2)
Because building on the particular lot in question would be unreasonable
and would adversely affect the existing or potential useof adjacent land
because the Land. in question carries g substantial amounts of surface
water from time to time, and construction thereon prior to the installation
of storm sewer would. in all lilglihood cause damage to the structure built
thereon and flooding in adjacent areas. The motion was 2nd'd by C.Watson
after extensive discussion and consideration of the evidence presented
by Hoffmans on earlier appearances as well as other evidence brought be-
fore the cauncil, a vote was taken end -the motion carried unanimously.

ision ordinances to permit division of Mrs. Sanft's property into two
residential lots in excess of five acres each. The property in question
is in the NWT of the SWt of section 14, to the North of Meadowlark Lane.
Mr. & Mrs. Hubert Rhode,Jr., prospective purchasers of the property also
appeared.
I?io by C.Abercrombie that the variance be pranted subject to the con-
0 s listed below, as recommended by the Planning Commission for the
reasons stated in the Planning Commission's report on the grounds that:
1:.The subdivision is of small size and minot .importance and situated in a
locality where conditions are well defined because off the residential
structures built to -the South & East of the property in question:.
2.Because of the physical conditions of the property, strict compliance
with these regulations would cause an exceptional & undue hardship on the
owner, while granting of the variance does not in any way have a detriment-
aleffect on the public welfare. The variance will. not impair -the intent and
purpose of the subdivision ordinance, for future subdivision can be carried
out in strict conformity with the existing codes provided the following
conditions are met.
