(See attached) The following concerns were expressed by those present: It was pointed out other present zoning regulations would still apply, i.e. setba~ks, height etc. Irwin Harland ..and William Tharp arrived. Concern was expressed that the 12,000 sq. ft. should be set as the maximum. As the amendment is worded, a small shopping center could still be established under these regulations. Mr. Bartel explained 12,000 sq.ft. using the uses as outlined, would serve 4,000 people. Concern was expressed that a minimum number of businesses for each neighborhood shopping area be stated in the amendment, thus not allowing one type of business to take up the entire 12,000 sq.ft. Question was raised if the storage area would apply towards the 12,000 sq.ft. Those present at the meeting agreed to proceed along the basis of the proposal submitted.
