owners of the adjoining property. Assistant City Attorney Miles Lance opined it would be
proccdurul1y incorrect for Mr. Foster or the Lconards to make a presentation at this time because the

that Mrs. Leonard submit a presentation statement in writing to the City Clerk if she were unable to
attend the meeting on a date of continuance.
Ms. Whitney made a motion to continue variance request V95-06 to April 13, 1995; the motion was
duly seconded. Speaking briefly, Mrs. Leonard said because of the Easter holiday, the board
meeting date of April 27, 1995 was the most convenient date in April to enable her to attend the
meeting. Ms. Whitney offered and the board agreed to change the date of continuance in her motion
to April 27, 1995. The motion curried unanimously.
