Resuest for Variance from strict interpretation of Sidewalk Ordinance . The applicant , Don Mincey Associates , in conjunction with improving a large corner lot at Bradford Street and Warren Avenue with their new office building, requested permission to construct a sidewalk 8 ' 6 " from face of curb to back of sidewalk, leaving a space 3t6 " from back of walk to the property line , where they would like to install landscaping . An additional two feet of landscaping immediately behind the property line on applicant ' s side was also planned . City Manager ' s report advised Council that Planning, Public Works and Parks Depart- ments had been requested to jointly review the Sidewalk Ordinance with City Attorney ' s office , in an effort to provide a somewhat less difficult means by which applications of this type may be processed , especially where sufficient sidewalk exists and the applicant desires inclusion of more landscaping . Councilman Williams moved to grant the Variance to the Sidewalk Ordinance as requested , seconded by Councilman Rhodes and carried . (MINUTE ORDER #72 - 50) Councilman Keckley moved to introduce Ordinance amending Section 23 . 72 of the Code of the City of Redwood City relating to the establishment and adjustment of salaries of certain employees specified therein, seconded by Councilman Henderson .
