The Planning Board approved the site plan and parking arrange-
ments for a three-story office building to be constructed on N. E. 90th Street
west of the Kwik Chek stores and contiguous to their parking area, providing
the plan meets all code requirements. The Village Manager reported that the

ratio of one square foot of parking to one square foot of building area. It was
further explained that the owner of the proposed building site had received a

arrangements would be for a term equal to the life of the building. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Clement and passed unanimously.
The Village Manager reported on the public hearing for consider-
ation of the re-zoning application of Mr. J. Cooper, to be held by the Planning
Board on Monday evening, June 24th, and stated that the Board would like the
Council to attend. It was requested that the Village Manager advise the Planning
Board that in the opinion of the Village Attorney and individual Council members
it would not be advisable to meet with the Board because it would not give the
Council freedom of choice and judgment in this matter.
