6/18/84 <br />Page -17- <br />Mayor Meier also stated that this Council <br />through some of their policies and recom- <br />mendations that just came from the Mayor's <br />Task Force felt that not enough planning <br />had been done in this area. Therefore, he <br />felt the applicants should look at some <br />o:E the land within the city limits zoned <br />commercially for their proposal. <br />Councilwoman Morris Inquired of the applicants if they had <br />looked at all the commercial zoning within <br />the City limits. <br />Mr. Fischer replied that they had; but felt <br />that there was a real need in the area they <br />selected.

He did not want the <br />
