1 force more traffic in front of his place of business. Mr. Ryder also contacted
2 Wagner Martin Corporation who are against blocking the street as they want to
3 use "H" and "I" for truck traffic. They have semis unloading at their place
4 of business who often block through traffic on 8th street while unloading. Mr.
5 Ryder reaffirmed his recommendation that the street be blocked o.ff as presented.
6 The residents in the area are in favor of the blocking of the street in order
7 to make their neighborhood more desirable. Mr. Ryder did receive a letter from
8 Ms. Betty Wilson, who represents an advisory committee related to Wayne Com-
9 munity Action, in which she stated they are against allowing the expansion of
10 Glazer to any further than it is and concern for students using 8th street to
11 get to school if it is blocked. It was noted the street will still be open to
12 pedestrian traffic.
13
14 Mr. Cecere, representing Glazers, addressed Mr. Goodwin's letter, which he had
15 just received, noting that it was not factually true. Mr. Cecere stated Glazers
16 are utilizing the old Teeple Truck land for the same basic purposes Teeple were
17 which is to dispatch tractors and trailers. He stated the use of the land will
18 have to be determined by the Plan Commission or a Court of law. He stated he
19 disagrees with Mr. Goodwin's opinion on the question of the facts and the con-
20 clusion he derives from those facts and with regard to the law concerning non-
21 conforming uses. Mr. Cecere presented an alternate design which would use only
22 half of the street for entering the alley. Mr. Cecere read from the statute
23 the powers of the Board in regard to procedure which must be followed in
24 closing or vacating a street, which he feels must be followed in this particular
25 situation.
26
27 Mr. Anderson stated the procedure of the Board on vacations is to refer to the
28 Plan Commission, which returns to the Board for a confirmatory resolution. He
29 feels the big legal point here, which he will research, is the process of put-
30 ting this barrier a vacation as such, or such a change that it contemplates the
31 use of this procedure.
32
33 Mr. Meredith stated he feels the Teeple building was structurally altered when
34 it burned down. He stated zoning is the interpretation of the Plan Department
35 and not the Commission; if there is a question, it goes to one of the two (2)
36 boards. He noted it is important to determine how the two lots in question
37 are zoned. Mr. Anderson agreed with Mr. Meredith that this Board accept the
38 decision of Mr. Goodwin.
39
40 Mr. Anderson stated he will research the authority to close a curb.
41
42 Mr. Anderson moved this matter be continued under advisement, seconded by Mr.
43 Webb and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried.

45 Mr. Anderson and Mr. Cecere will meet on this matter.
