He reported Keith Grewe approached him seeking permission to- set up such a business in Apache two weeks ago. Mr. Grewe reported having been assured by Mr. Cavanaugh .of the Apache management that this use would fit in with one of -the existing categories of permitted uses in the City such as physical culture and health gyms , spas or clubs , and when the Administrative Assistant informed the Apache representative that the City Attorney did not see it that way, Mr. Cavanaugh indicated the Apache corporation 's legal firm would discuss the difference in opinion with the City Attorney which evidently was not done. Mrs . Makowske and Mr. Bjorklund both indicated a reluctance to take any actiononwhat could prove to be a controversial matter without the publicbeing notified of its consideration through its inclusion on the agenda which -is posted throughout the community. Mrs . Makowske believed the amendment might generate a fair amount of interest and concern as to the type of activities and operation of this kind of enterprise which is a new concept for the community . She disagreed the public input might be provided during the hearings before the Council , insisting she would be unable to make a recommendation to the Council without resident input. Mr. Jones commented that the pro- cedure for other proposals had been speeded .up in the past.
