Marly Glines stated that Jerry Hagen, owner of Sax Foods, would be opposed to this recommendation, since it would prevent him from expanding his store to the north. Mr. Glines stated that the Specht property to the north has a large open area behind the residence. He felt that it should be designated for commercial now before any residential development occurs. Mary Eberley expressed her concern regarding the removal of any more trees along Highway 169. Steve Ach explained that although it appears Mr. Hagen's business could be expanded to the south, there is a platted lot that could be developed and beyond that there is a pond. Discussion followed regarding the 1-1 /4 acre parcel owned by the City which is located on Holt Avenue. THE MOTION CARRIED 11-2. CHRIS KREGER AND MARLY GLINES OPPOSED.
