the City of Bozeman. Before he purchased this property and several times subsequentj,thereto, Mr.
Vanderzee has checked with City officials to be sure that he could build a residence on this property

ing ordinances prior to the passage of Ordinance No. 813 would impose unwarranted hardship and cause
I undue finanolal loss to the owner, it was moved by Commissioner Berg, seconded by Commissioner Swanson,
that, upon submission of an application in proper form for permit to build a residence on this property
which would meet all requirements of ordinances existing prior to June 24, 1959, the Building Inspector
be, and is hereby, authorized to grant such a permit and the motion was carried by the following Aye
