Their <br />company has been in business since 1960.

Mr. Butler said that he would be <br />adding to his work force and would appreciate assistance in this <br />endeavor.

The property is zoned <br />General Industrial and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates <br />that the area is industrial. A portion of the Lino Industrial <br />Park was replatted into the Apollo Business Park by the City <br />Council in August, 1994. The City has been platting the property <br />in the Apollo Business Park as parcels are sold. This latest <br />proposal is for a site that is 2.3 acres in size. <br />A site plan review for Mag -Con, Inc. will follow this minor <br />subdivision request. Staff recommends approval of the minor <br />subdivision to facilitate the development of Mag -Con, Inc. The <br />Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the request at their June 14, <br />1995 meeting and is recommending approval of the request. Park <br />dedication is not being requested because it was collected when <br />the original Lino Industrial Park was platted. <br />Council Member Elliott moved to approve the minor subdivision as <br />proposed. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />PAGE 7 <br />
