the City Council ruled he was not grandfarhere'i in because his
business had ceased operation for a period longer than 12 months.
Mr. Burdick claimed his used car lot was not in operation for
only 72 months. His dealer's license was kept active. Lease asked
if there could by any kind of compromise - such as 5 ' from the
sidewalk. Mr. Burdick said a fair request would be 2 ' all the way
across. Councilman Scliletty stated that there would be a fire
hazard if the overhead di had cars parked in front of them.
Councilman LaValle asked Vuttomer would park. Mr. Burdick
stated that there would be an entrance sign on the south side,
and plan to blacktop the lot 81 ' from the sidewalk all the
way over to the Post Office. LaValle stated that it was difficult
to see cars on Highway 61 when you pull out of the alley by the
Post Office. Councilman LaValle will be personally investigating
the situation and will report at the next City Council meeting.
