He presented maps of his neighborhood and letters of support for <br />• his business which he presented to Community Development Director Jopke. <br />Mayor Coughlin thanked Mr. Holander for his efforts to provide information to Council but said <br />the matter would be referred back to the Planning and Zoning Committee and the information he <br />provided would be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration. <br />Andrea Rush of 7830 Gloria Circle indicated she and her mother do not feel the extra traffic flow <br />on their street is necessary as it is a residential area not a business area. They are not in favor of <br />allowing the business to continue. <br />Council Member Stigney inquired as to whether the business owner could apply for a variance if <br />his type of business is not allowed by the Ordinance. <br />Mayor Coughlin indicated the details would be sorted out as the process of defining the <br />ordinance continued. <br />MOTION/SECOND <br />MOTION/SECOND <br />Consent Agenda. <br />To Reconsider Item 7D of the Consent Agenda. <br />Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />Coughlin/Stigney <br />To Remove From Consideration Item 7D of the <br />Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />• <br />
