Mr. Anderson stated that he is re- questing a variance to front yard setback to reduce the 50' setback to 35' because of the fact that the lot has a very deep drop-off where the 50' setback would be. Mr. Anderson also stated that this is the only lot out of 110 lots with this problem.

Mr, Johnson indicated that he had tried many different ways, but that none of his other ideas worked but. Commissioner Tralle questioned if Mr. Johnson's only intent was office. Mr. John- son indicated that was his only intent. Commissioner Oster questioned if there would be any problem with flammability of the gas tanks at Food and Fuel. Rick Breezee indicated that he had looked into the situation and discussed it with Russ Anderson, the Fire Chief, and that there would be no problem. Rick Breezee indicated that he and the City Administrator met with Mr. Johnson earlier and that they were not in favor of granting a variance because of the other possibilities that Mr. Johnson had for building his building. Also it is not a reason to approve a variance because of economic purposes. Commissioner Pearce stated that he felt the building would be an asset to Jackson Avenue.
