Mr. Hayes. Sales I ManaGer, and Mr. Ashby, Construction Engineer, of the Union Oil Com:rany had come to Bozeman during the Fast week to discuss this mstter. They contend that, since Durston Road is not paved, it will be necessary to have two driveways for this station on :Ko. 7th Avenue.

On the quest ion of two driveways from 7th Avenue, it was agreed that these woul~ not be in accordftnc~ with present policy of this City on service ste tion dd veways but that, if special reasons are presented why the~T should be F~rmi tted in this case, the COTffinissi on will be Clpd to reconsider this ro1 icy. l'roposed Zoning Ordinance A draft of the prOI-os6cl ZoninG Ordinance was f.resented and considered by the City Commission.
