Attorney Milford W. Dahl, representing the applicant, stated his client, Wm. D. Greschner Company, has a 99-year lease on this property, and one of the conditions require a grant of easement along the southerly line of this property for drainage purposes. Prior to the construction of this building, the problem of drainage was Variance Appl.No .1R81 George W. Gellatly discussed with an Engineer, when I represented Dr. Robert Davis, and I was asked to advise the City that the use of this pipeline for drainage is at his will and he does not consider it to be an easement. The Variance is for the rear lmlf of the property and not the front half where the depressie~ Or Swale, is located~ an~ n~t wish to tear up the surfacing. Also, the depression creates a problem for a parkingl lot. On motion of Councilman Hubbard, seconded by Heinly and carried, the matter was continued until the next meeting.

William Campbell, representing the applicant, stated there is a parking lot adjoining this property and agreed to the construction of any type of fence required so there would be uo access on 16th Street. CounciLman Hubbard disquali- fied himself on this matter. Warren Sikora, 401 W. 8th Street, representing Mrs. Kirkpatrlck, protested the area is not C~,m,ercial and the church property and park- ing therefor is considered R-1 construction. Leroy Brackman stated the proposed parking lot is directly across the street from his property and did not feel that a parking lot, even though fenced, would improve the area, and cars were seldom parked all day in the church parking lot. It was moved by Councilman Eeinly and seconded by Gould, that a Resolution be adopted overruling the recommendation of the Planning Co~,,ission and granting Variance Application No. 1243, subject to conditions; and that the rights of ingress and egress to 16th Street be granted to the City and it being understood that there will not be any granting back of the rights of ingress and egress; that a 6-foot solid cement fence shall be constructed! along the setback line and the applicant be required to plant and maintain the areali between the sidewalk and setback line; a six-foot block wall fence shall be construe- ted on the west side of the lot, and the area completely blacktopped; the owner shall dedicate to the City a street easement for the full width of the property involved along l?th Street, a strip of land 52 feet in width measured south of and at right angles to the center line of 17th Street for street purposes, and all other conditions as recommended by the Department of Public Works; that a drive not less than ten feet be provided along the west line of the 17th Street lot so that there will be better access to the parking lots~ an8 that a bumper be placedslong the south line so that the cars will not ove~-hang on the siSewalk.
