<br />audience and reviewed an easlier application by Mx. Pahlmeyer which was denied by
<br />a split vote in the Planning Commission and also in the City Council. He stated
<br />that the area, because of the heavy volume of traffic, does sot attract new R-2
<br />development, and that a survey was made which showed that a service station on

<br />Commissioner Rega regarding removal of homes existing on the three lots, Ms.

<br />mission of rezoning all of First Street rather than spot zoning. There being no

<br />was moved by Commissioner Antonini, seconded by Commissioner Rega, and carried,
