their living quarters. She also stated that it was a good time

inches to 5 feet 1 inch.i A discussion followed. Member Al Sager
moved that the variance be granted. Member Margaret Houston seconded
the motion and it passed unanimously.

the variance be granted. Member Al Sager seconded the motion and
