There were no protests filed with the City Clerk.
Community Development Director Michael Southard reported that this compromise would allow commercial activities along Kickapoo while protecting the residential areas and the C-1 zoning would be the appropriate buffer between residential and higher uses since this is a transitional area.
Mayor Harden asked if any persons wished to appear in favor of or in protest of the application.
Mr. Neal Martin, attorney, was present to represent the applicant.
After due and careful consideration, Ordinance No. 1998NS was introduced and the title read aloud.

A motion was made by Vice Mayor Downing, seconded by Commissioner Roach, that the Title and Ordinance be approved. Motion carried.
