,1 -2- John Mark, Mike Smith, and Ellie Warchol who work in the liquor operation. Four members of the Fire Department and a member of the Police Department were given their awards later in the evening.. These included a five year service award for Patrolman David Johnston, a ten year service award for Tim Mezzenga and fifteen year awards to Rick Lundeen, Dick Johnson, and Bill Myers. Councilmember Ranallo honored the Mayor's service on the Council for eleven -years and his four year service as Mayor by presenting Mayor Sundland with a fifteen year service award. Commissioner Bowerman then proceeded with the January 21st Planning Commission report by indicating that, with the concurrence of the petitioner., Roger Bona, the hearing on the variance and lot split necessary to make the proposed expansion of the Standard-'station on..the corner of Kenzie Terrace. and 27th Avenue N.E. , was continued to the next Planning Commission meeting because several Commissioners wanted a more detailed parking plan which would address the question of how the four- displaced parking spots would be made up for in another location on the site and would demonstrate that the new addition would not further aggravate the flow of traffic between the station and the meat market building .

Errors and omissions which occurred when the structure was sited on the lot could, or could not' have been the fault of the-owner; 2. The structure is already in place and it would cause a substantial , if not disastrous, hardship for the owner to require it be moved; 3. There were no neighbor objections to the solution stated in the notice of the hearing; and 4. There have been at least three instances in the last two years where similar requests for the same interpretation for corner lots have been approved. Motion carried unanimously.
