mission keep this use in mind for a permanent location. The matter was held over for
the meeting of December 3, 1956.

a zone variance granted to him in 1951 to operate a jewelry engraving business at his
home, be extended for another five years. The variance expires on December 31, 1956.
The Planning Commission directed that a letter be written to Mr. Moe stating that he
must submit a new application for a zone variance before the Planning Commission can
either grant or deny approval.
Oral:

fence now wishes to ask Planning Commission approval and recommendation to City Council
to locate the proposed bomb shelter on city property directly across from the Civic Cente3
