Item
B-4 Wishing to be heard was Martin Canfield of 1731 20th Avenue S.E.
and urged the Council to approve his request. He presented pictures
of the area and stated that he wanted this variance to put up a
garage. All the other garages in the area are as close to the road
or closer than the garage that he wishes to put up. He also does
not desire to build a driveway 70 feet back from the lot line and
all the others in the area have 20-35 foot set -backs. He stated that
he just wanted to be treated equally.
Wishing to be heard was Mike Kazos of 1723 20th Avenue S.E. and
is the immediate neighbor. He is in favor of the request by Mr.
Canfield. Having no one else present that wished to be heard,
President Selby closed the hearing. Evans moved, Myhrom second
to direct the City Attorney to prepare the Facts of Findings includin,
the four conclusions and allow Mr. Canfield to place the garage
20 feet from the property line. Some of the Facts of Findings by
the Council are the fact that his house was misplaced originally
and this was not his fault, thus creating a shortage of space to
place his garage. A 70 foot driveway is not reasonable.
It is a normal thing to do in the area and would blend in as all
the other residents have the same set -back as he is requesting.
and the property would be useful to him.

Councilmember Canfield again joined the Council.

upon motion by Canfield and second by Senjem. McConnell stated
that he thinks Leon DeCook was misled -on the happenings of his
property. Hunziker moved, Senjem second to rezone from R-1 to
M-1 . He believes that the value of this property will still be
evident. Councilmember Hunziker stated that the underlying
Comprehensive Plan since 1975 would be M-1 and the reason that it
became R-1 ,if only for a short time,was the fact that the City
annexed the property and the property automatically comes in as R-1
and referring to Mr. Livingston's discussion of this afternoon,
to make this easier they want to do this one step at a time.
The first step was to annex, the second step to rezone. We are now
taking the second step which is to do the rezoning from R-1 to M-1.
Ayes (7), Nays (0).Motion carried.

see more bids offered to local contractors. It was however.
brought out by Terry Adkins,:: City Attorney that the bids are

Our local contractors have the same right to bid in other cities
and win those bids as people from other places have the same
oppor:tun=itY•to win in Rochester.
Councilmember Myhrom also stated the same concern as Councilmember
Senjem.
In order to award a low bid, a track record of the bidder can be
