Mr. Williams: I talked with Rob Sherman and he has talked with the manager.
They were supposed to have done some things out there.
Mr. Sherman: A few months ago the owners of the property signed petitions with
the Planning Commission approving the rezoning of the property in order to expand the
business. The rezoning was approved subject to five conditions. Those conditions are
tied to the business closing on the properties on Glass Factory. They have closed on four
of those properties and there are two they are still trying to close on. Once he closes on
all the properties, he is going to come into compliance with the conditions of the
rezoning. He understands that he has to comply with the conditions and will do so when
the final purchases are made.
Mr. Williams: I don't mind giving them some more time if they are trying to
work it out.
Mr. Colclough: I make a motion that we accept this as information.
