Motion by Councilman Stauffer and seconded by Councilman Haik to give concept approval to the requested expansion of the St. Anthony Millworks including the five foot side yard setback on the south side. Motion carried. Councilman Stauffer said she wanted left open the possibility of a senior citizen retirement apartment being built in the City by First American Care Facilities. Mr. Rymarchick explained the advice the Board had given the Salvation Army representatives when they appeared to seek permission to erect a fieldhouse on the Army's campgrounds on Silver Lake Road. Jim Brown, Manager of the campgrounds and the contractor, Clifford E.

Mr. Vickrey was away from the meeting from 9 : 25 to 9 :30 P.M. and when he returned suggested the applicants might appear before the Board to request the rezoning and a building permit at the same time. He said P.U.D. might be what they wanted but conceded that would require more time. The motion failed unanimously.
