NEW BUSINESS :
I. Application for Use by Exception to operate a retail auto lot
for automobile sales filed by Michael W. Jones for 37 West Eighth
Street.
Michael W. Jones introduced himself to the Board. A general
discussion followed as to the nature of Mr. Jones' application.
Mr. Jones stated that due to the recent availability of another
location for his business he did not presently need the use by
exception requested in his application, but since he was already
at the meeting he would follow through with the application for
future use. Mr. Wolfson moved that the approval of the use by
exception be denied and pointed out to Mr. Jones that if the
Board did not approve his application it would be necessary to
wait a year before he could apply for another use by exception
concerning this property. At this point Mr. Jones withdrew his
application.
