However, this was to <br />be determined by the free market. He explained that because the property owner had paid his <br />taxes in full, the Council had no reason to deny the request. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn concurred. She encouraged the property owner to upgrade the outside of <br />the building as it was an eyesore and requested the business owner to keep his property free of <br />debris. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty thanked the neighbors for attending the Council meeting and for voicing their <br />concerns. He stated if he lived in this neighborhood he would want to see a business operating <br />out of the building versus having the site being further blighted. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />Mr. Kromley requested the garbage on the site be better managed.
