No one spoke in favor of the variance. Mr. Jim Kluttz spoke
against stating that if the City Council wants to change the
height limit then it needs to be for the entire island. He stated
that we need to advertise, hear from the public. Mr., Kluttz says

the new zoning ordinance is in effect. Mayor Locklear said that

15th at 5:30 P.M. Councilmember Youmans said that this is in a
commercial zone and that the Council has not turned one down in

Councilmember Youmans, it is a commercial zone it (the
neighborhood) more residential. Councilmember Youmans said that
this project it right in the middle of a commercial zone.
