CITIZEN'S FORUM:
Sid Verdon - 28210 Woodside Road was present to request the Council
permission to begin construction of a deck onto a presently non-

prior to the public hearing.

of the building permit, on the condition that if the Council does
not approve the variance request at the public hearing, that Mr.
Verdon will then remove any and all portions of the newly constructed
deck. Mr. Verdon agreed with the Council decision.

his addition to a non-conforming structure at above address. Council
tabled this request until the July 25, 1983 Council meeting to allow
time for review.

Lake Minnetonka Public Safety officers - Detective Nieling, Cpl.
