Kish, Divisional Commander of the Salvation Armor, and the City Attorney gave his recommendations for changes in the wording of the agreement between the City • and the Salvation Army governing their joint efforts to develop a nature trail on the Salvation Army property in St. Anthony. Motion by Councilman Haik, seconded by Councilman Stauffer to indicate the Council's concurrence with the agreement between the City of St. Anthony and the Salvation Army as amended. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Haik, seconded by Councilman Sundland to accept the bids and award the contracts to: Anderson Aggregates for aggregates, Dunkley for asphalt, and W.H. Barber for oil. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting was recessed from 7:50 to 8:00 P.M. ZMr. Jack Maxwell explained his request for a variance to build a tuck-under, two car garage which would extend the front of his home at 3205 Silver Lake Road by 24 feet, with the garage to be built at basement level and top portion of the addition to be enclosed for a porch. He also said he wanted to drop the grade of his steep driveway to correct the limited view he now has to the south along Silver Lake Road and to give him a safer exit onto Silver Lake Road. No one else appeared to speak for or against the proposal and the Mayor closed • the public hearing at 8:07 P.M. The City Attorney explained how the request involved Section 300.08, Subd. 6, of the city ordinance which requires the front yard depth of any home not be less than the average depth of the front yards of the lots in same block and would therefore require the granting of a 22 foot variance to Mr. Maxwell. Motion by Councilman Sundland, seconded by Councilman Sauer to grant a 22 foot front yard variance to Mr. & Mrs. Jack Maxwell to allow them to construct a two car garage with the top portion enclosed on the front of their home at 3205 Silver Lake Road under the conditions cited by the City Attorney.

Tefft, 2609 29th Avenue N.F., and George Blackey, 2908 West Armour Terrace. Most of these took issue with the City's contention that drain tile which are • connected to the sanitary sewer system in violation with the City ordinance, caused a flow through the sanitary sewer pipes which was too heavy for the
