"The City Council Gentlemen, Our first letter to you has been on file for some weeks, and will have been read by the City Clerk to you at the start of this hearing. We did not withdraw that letter as it states our problem and how we feel about the proposed rezoning. We have tried to get more information however, and found that a variance between the Hinman property and the Agbayani property Ti. be the solution as we share a driveway, and the homes are close. We don't know just the extent that this would protect us, and perhaps you might clear that point, but we would not be op- posed to it. We would like it put in your record and with the building inspector's office, that we are to be officially noti- fied of any application for a change in the variance. We know that it is often difficult to satisfy everyone in a group, and yet stay within your rules, by reputation you gentle- men try to do just that. We are not in opposition to Mrs. Morgan's plans but two neighbors trying to work together, and we want to thank you for your consideration of our problem. Thelma and Arcadio Agbayani" Councilman Spillers moved that public hearing be closed, seconded by Councilman Stout and carried. Councilman Spillers moved adoption of Ordinance 600.55, seconded by Councilman Granger and carried on roll..call, Councilmen Royer and Britschgi noted absent.
