WALLER REQUEST FOR VARIANCE FROM ORDINANCE NO. U-14
Mr. Kinley presented to the Council a draft copy
of an agreement he had prepared for execution by
James Waller to provide water supply for fire protection,
as requested at the meeting held December 14, 1959. Mr.
Kinley advised the Council that the proposed agreement
would be difficult to enforce, from the City's stand-
point, and would be invalid and unenforceable against a
subsequent purchaser of the property. The City Manager
reported that the County Fire Department would not approve
as adequate for fire protection the substitution of the
swimming pool and two-inch stand pipe for the fire hydrant
required by said Ordinance. It was then moved by Council-
man Goodman, seconded by Councilman Nielson that the
Council reconsider its action of December 14, 1959 in
granting a variance of Ordinance U-14 to James Waller,
which motion was unanimously passed. It was then moved
by Councilman Goodman that Mr. Waller's application for
a variance of Ordinance No. U-14 be denied for the rea-
son given by the City Attorney and the failure of the
County Fire Department tocapprove as adequate for fire
protection purposes the substitution of a swimming pool
and two-inch stand pipe for a fire hydrant as required
by said Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Nielsen and carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Goodman, Nielsen and
Mayor Tourtelot
Noes: Councilman Horn
Absent: Councilman Roach
The City Attorney was directed to inform Mr. Waller
of the Council's action.
MUTUAL AID FOR FIRE PROTECTION
The proposed resolution regarding mutual aid for fire
fighting was discussed and it was decided to take no action
as the County had already handled the matter.
