-2- 8 : 01 p.m. the Public Hearing was opened on the Bernard Blanske ;request for vacation of the south half of the roughly developed gravel path known as Old Sunset Lane (39th Avenue N.E. ) which leads to the holding pond known as Mirror Lake. Mr. Berg confirmed that since Mr. Blanske owns all the property which falls within the area requiring notification of the hearing, only publication of the notice of the hearing had been necessary. The Manager confirmed that the City would not oppose a vacation of part of that 66 foot wide path as long as the exact location of the existing roadway can be identi- fied, which has not been done on the survey dated July 7 , 1977 , sub- mitted by Mr. Blanske. He also said the Public Works Director had requested the vacation be subject to a 10 foot snow storage easement on the south side of the road. David Volkman, 3009 Harding Street N.E. , said he was present at the request of Mr. Blanske who is in Arizona so he can relay the Commis- sion' s actions on the request to him. About a dozen of the residents of that area were present to indicate their concern with the mini storage facility proposed to be built by Mr. Blanske on the property south of the roadway, which was the subject of the Public Hearing scheduled to follow at 8 : 30 p.m. They did not, however, address the question of the vacation. The Public Hearing was closed at 8 : 13 p.m. Motion by Mr. Bowerman and seconded by Mr. Enrooth to table action on the Blanske vacation request until further information has been • provided or the July 7, 1977 Survey of Certificate has been amended to indicate the actual location of the existing roadbed of Sunset Lane. Motion carried unanimously. -While waiting for the next public hearing, the progress of the Comprehensive Plan and delivery time of the Commission minutes were discussed. Commission members agreed they should have the minutes and agenda of the next meeting delivered sometime the weekend pre- ceding the meeting so onsite inspections can be made in their free time preceding each meeting. ---The meeting was recessed at 8 :25 p.m. and resumed at 8 : 31 p.m. for the Public Hearing on the Blanske variance requests for the develop- ment of the property zoned Light Industrial, located at approximately 3829 Foss Road, which will permit construction of a mini storage facility with a caretaker residence included. Mr. Berg indicated all publication, notification and application requirements for such a hearing had been met. Russell A. Teske, 3821 Foss Road, reported failure to receive such a notice, but since he has just recently purchased that property from Jeffrey Olson it was determined the notice had been sent to the previous owner instead. No one present objected to the content of the notice. Mr. Berg read the November 6 letter from Mr. Blanske which accompanied his applica- wo tion for variances in which he gave what he felt were the justifica- tions for granting the variances requested; and the Chairman read
