-7- The Commission spokesman explained to Councilman Marks that the new owners of the station at the northeast corner of Silver Lake Road and 37th Avenue N.E. had decided • they would retain the gas pumps left by Jet Gas along the Silver Lake Road side of the station, which would entitle Rapid Oil Change, Inc. to have the same signage permitted gasoline service stations. He also indicated he had found after the meeting that Rapid Oil was not the company he.thought he had done some work for, so he could have voted on the Commission 's motion, which he read. E. F. Flaherty, President of Rapid Oil Change, Inc. , 2950 - 4th Avenue South, was present, but did not speak. Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Makowske to permit Rapid Oil Change, Inc. , to erect a pylon sign on their property at 3001 - 37th Avenue N.E. , no larger than the 50 square feet permitted for that type of sign by the City Ordinance, and to grant the service center the variance necessary to utilize the 114 square feet, permitted for that building, for two signs which may be located at the firm's discretion. Motion carried unanimously. Chris Kelly, General Manager of Sunset Memorial Park cemetery, was present to discuss the proposal to erect a new mausoleum on cemetery property near the St. Anthony Office Park.

Motion carried unanimously. Bernard Preussner, 3209 Skycroft Drive, had requested to speak to the Council pro- testing what he perceives to be an ongoing denial of his rights by his neighbors, the Kelly's, who live across the street. at 3208 Skycroft Drive. He said when he called the City Attorney in June to complain about that family consistently parking several of their automobiles in front of his home, and "changing oil and anti- freeze right in the street in front of my property, I .was told there is nothing I can do about it under your ordinances, except to take it. " Mr. Preussner said he again called the police on August 16th with the same complaints and wondered if the City couldn't write an ordinance which would prevent auto repair on the City streets. Mr...

He said he was closely monitoring the situation and would continue to do so. • Mr. Preussner had previously requested the City Ordinance be rewritten to restrict parking on the streets and the Mayor reiterated the problems inherent in arbitrarily
