To assure all ordinance 22 requirements were met, Mr. Childs indicated he had readvertised the notice of the 23 hearing in the- January 7th Bulletin and sent copies to all property owners of 24 record within 350 feet of t e'subject property as indicated in the agenda packet. 25 No one present reported failure to receive the notice or objected to its content 26 and the only person s .present::to�speakttot.the-issue were Roger Bona and Dave 2.7 Hanson who operate the gas station at the intersection of Kenzie Terrace and 28- 27th Avenue N.E. 29 30 In his November 27th- memorandum, which had been included in both the December 2nd 31 and January 21st agenda packets', the Manager had addressed Roger Bona's request 32 to allow a triangular shaped addition to the Standard:'Station which would have 33 a 20 foot setback from Kenzie Terrace, where 35 feet are required by the Zoning 34 Ordinance and to move the lot line between the station property and Johnson Meat 35 Market property (both owned by Mr. Bona) to a point ten feet west of the existing 36 gas station building for the project.
