They would like to construct a general store in the Withrow area. The land is presently zoned RB, and they would like rezoning to CB. Mr, Harry Olson, an adjoining land owner, had no objection to the store, but was concerned about what might come in there if the business were sold. McAllister read the permitted uses in the zoning, and stated that all others would need a Special Use Permit.

Mr. Jim Tholen, 5867 148th Street, Hugo, stated that he lives in the city and he has the same traffic problems. Mr. Clifford Axelson, 12317 Goodview Avenue, stated that the proposed change for noise abatement will bring the shooting closer to his house.
