MOTION by Commissioner Walker, seconded by Mayor Horton that we grant
permission to proceed. All voted Aye.
Mrs. Roberts advised that the Code of Ordinances requires two
parking spaces per apartment for 1 - 20 units in that zone district.
Fran explained this was a non-conforming building built in the
1960's when the Code was one space for one apartment, but Tom
Sliney questioned converting without coming up to Codes.

his second, making the MOTION void.
It was decided to reschedule this item for a special meeting
to be held November 18th, giving the Commission a better
