The thrctl alternatives the Board might hlive would be to Gay
that t.t would not re.commend approval as an M-l, 1:0 recommend
that it be approved with an M-l, or make n statement in a genoral
intent type of letter to the effect tha't in the City the use
would be in the ~ategory of a special exception requiring Board
of Adjustment and Appeal consideraTion. .
Roference was made to the Board'a prior letter of March 11/65 contain-
ing recommendation pi danial~ Existing land uses in the area wa~e
pointed out and uses permitted in the County H-l classification were
detailed by the Planner. Mr. Wolle recommended the submittal to the
Coun~y an explanation for some fabrication uses occuring.in the City's
"a" zoning classification; and that such use requost!3 are directed to
the Board of Adjustmen~ and Appeal on Zoning as special exceptions and
have ~he performance standards of the operation 'as a major consideration.

but that the possibility still existed that it mitht
be sold to abutting residential property owners.
