After discussion of the age and the proposed size of the building ,
Mrs . Gregg moved to grant the variance and Mr . Frohwein seconded

Mr . Worley stated that City Attorney Alan Jensen also had a
definition of "hardship" and a copy of this definition would be
furnished to the members as soon as it was received.
