final plat is being proposed for rezoning to "C-1" restricted commercial. An access

Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation concerning the site plan. He noted the property
contained on the site plan is being proposed for rezoning to "C-1" restricted commercial

this tract is for offices; however, due to the size of the existing structure, traffic to the site
will be minimal. He also noted that several large trees exist on the property with some
