couple of years for Condition #1 - asking what would be
acceptable; wanted permission now to trim the trees; didn't
fully understand Condition #5; questioned the power poles.
Chairperson Burton noted that there were no conditions
for a CUP so therefore a CUP could not exist until the
conditions were prepared by both the City Engineer and
staff.
Mr No continuing to speak commented that: the alley
doesn� really exist and he shouldn't have to put in asphalt
unless other owners do; had contacted the City Engineer.

Commissioner Schuelke commented that she would have to agree
with staff - to allow this type of project in that area
would be taking away from what the CN zone was meant to be.
Totally incompatible with the area. Commented that
initially this zoning was really studied very carefully and
it was agreed that it was to be kept pretty close to what it
is - small retail shops.
Commissioner Remy noted that in the ordinance the
CUP allows service stations and drive -in restaurants
questioning the gas -pumps at Circle -K.
