Mr. Temple asked what could be pu t in there. Mr. Nichols read what was permitted in tha t area. There was some d i s c u s s i' 0 n on the letter from the City. Mr. Nichols stated that the only thing that he took exception to was where the lawyer stated that there was no good re~son for application of this ordinance to the Sauers property and there is a good reason it is the law. Unless the City is perpared to purchase the property he would suggest that something be done. There was much discussion on this property. Mr. Nichols also stated that as far as the City Council that they are aware that Ordinance 880 says and ~:he is not about to break the law or slight the board in this matter and they did slight the board in this matter. They mearly wanted to give relief to Mr. Sauer so they wDuld not be sued for preventing the sale of his property as a matter of fact the Council felt that the Zoning Board had erred we did not err we followed the letter of the law when the property was zoned in July 1974 and if the City Council don't like the fact that the way I run it they can have it anytime they want it. Chairman Wolfe stated that he will go along with that. Mr. Nichols stated if they are going to follow the law then follow the law. .It does not say anywhere at anytime that they want to give sombody relief because some letter writing lawyer can write them a letter and threaten that they are goind to sue them and they are going to turn around and I am down here giving my valuable time to the City and they go over my head and do something that is against the law. It says that the Planning and Zoning Board shall consider and make recommendations to the City Council concerning proposed zoning admendments and that is a proposed zoning admendment. The Planning and Zoning Board may hold a seperate public hearing or may sit concured. I was not even notified to attend a meeting. If they want me to follow this and if they want me to give my time they will do it correctly or I won't do it. Chairman Wolfe stated that he will go along with that. He went on to ask if he can be at the Public Hea~ing. Mr. Nichols stated that he will have invontory that night. Or I would certainly be there. Chairman Wolfe stated he will handle it for us. Mr. Nichols stated that this is in the own ordinance and if they want to change it he will go along with it. Mr. Nichols stated that he is not saying that the man did not need relief, they should have going through proper channels. The meeting was adjourned.
