After a brief presentation by Mr. Wilson, Commission members asked the applicant questions about
traffic circulation and impact on the neighborhood. There was a consensus that this is a good low
impact use for a limited time. The fact that it is now getting some much needed maintenance is a plus.

include a parking and circulation plan. Once the applicant applies for Village C-2 zoning, the neighbors
will be notified and given a chance to weigh in.
Applicant directed to work with staff.
