about the two scotch pines, the Landscape Plan and the Site Plan.

property.
Zoning Administrator provides the Commissioners clarification and information from his
Staff Report.
Legal Counsel - It would be my recommendation that you consider the variance at the

part of your recommendation to City Council you have to retain jurisdiction of this matter
until you have reviewed the Development Agreement.

to see McDonald's here but I like open space.
Bradley: The Public Hearing is now closed.
