Mrs. Kreuser <br />also stated that the Council had received a letter from the Chamber <br />stating that this zone change would be in line with the plans of the <br />Governor;s Design Team. Mrs. Kreuser further stated that if the Daycare <br />is definitely not allowed in the area she would still request the zone <br />change to R-3 zoning. <br />
