CUP, Sandy Chenvert January 27, 1993 Page 2 ~ and 4:00 - 9:30 p.m. It appears that classes would not be offered late morning and early afternoon at this time, however, the hours of operation may change as the business continues. In addition to Ms. Chenvert, staff would include one other employee at any given time. Two conditional use permits were previously issued in the Cody Square building. In 1987, Mark Zieska, received a conditional use permit to operate Z's Upholstery, which is no longer operating in this area. In 1990, Richard Duggan, received a conditional use permit to operate Marketech, a light manufacturing firm, which is still located in the building. Also located in the building is an office for Wm.
