Appeal, Denial of used merchandi,se dealer's license - George Stathakis for George's Garage, 341 Van Buren Street It was explained that the appellant was to be out of town for the Council meeting and had requested putting the hearing over to a January meeting. The reason for the denial of the license was that Mr. Stathakis has failed to comply with, the City's sign code in that he had failed to make the necessary application for permits for sign installation. He had previously received verbal permission over the phone for the size of the sign and thought that, was all that was required.

Rezoning to RP-SR property at northeast corner 40th and Donald (Sletten) This matter was brought back for action/only, with no public hearing to be held. The rezoning was recommended by the Planning Commission and came to the Council on November 12. The Council failed to adopt and the matter was referred to a joint meeting on Decemper 11 at which time the Planning Commission failed to affirm its recommendation, by a 3 to 3 vote. A request has been received from Mr. Sletten to reopen the matter to the extent of - -showing some slides. The slides had not previously been shown at a Council meeting. The ,City Attorney felt that as part of the rebuttal it would be a~propriate to have the slides shown because the record shows that all material was transmitted to the' council and the slides were part of that record. This would indicate, then, that the November 12 testimony was not complete. The showing "of slides would simply complete the record and a full~scale hearing would not be necessary. Mr. Saul of the Planning Department showed various slides of the area in qhestion. '. Donald B. Driscoll showed slides on behalf of the applicant. The record should show now.that the Council has received all written notices, minutes of Planning Commission meetings with the exception of the minutes of the last joint meeting, maps, staff notes and slides. All are part of the record of the Council. Mayor Anderson indicated that only those council nlembers could vote who attended the November 12 meeting and the December 11 joint meeting. Those not having attended would have had to listen to tapes of the proceedings. Mrs. Beal stated that, although she 12/23/74 - 1 4-20
