Mayor Steve now opened the public hearing of the request for a variance from Gerald Rodgers. Mr. Rodgers wants to build his house on the edge of the street, across from the reservoir, because of the steep slope of the land. The Planning Commission recommended that he be granted a 10-foot variance, provided that the City relocate the street right-of-way closer to the reservoir. Street Superintendent Hawley advised against relocating the street (1) as a bad precedent and (2) because the City will need that particular street when it is covering the reservoirs.

The fourth public hearing was on the rezone request of W. R. Swanson and Victor Coster, for a change from R-1 to commercial for Blocks 276 and 277, Eisenbeis Addition.

The proponents stressed the fact that they would have off-street parking and that the noise generated would not be greater than that in any neighborhood from lawn-mowers, etc. Councilman Camfield pointed out that these two blocks had previously been removed from the Sims Way rezone, be- cause of the neighbors objections. He moved that the variance be denied. The motion was seconded by Councilman Parker, and carried unanimously.
