There are <br />awful looking buildings in the neighborhood and this would not add to the <br />value of her home. <br /> <br />Mr. Knutson said the Volners had a greenhouse before~ it was only temporary and <br />that it took only a few hours to take it down. He asked Mrs. Berger if the <br />eyesores she spoke of in her area were permanent structures. <br /> <br />Mr. Volner commented that just because the other persons had eyesores did <br />not mean that he would have his in that condition~ <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING ~ DONALD VOLNER <br /> P & Z Commission/i/7/80 <br /> Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
