<br />
<br /> "At your last regularly scheduled public hearing held on Monday, April 11, 1977, Counci~
<br />referred the matter of UP-77-2 to me for investigation. As you will recall UP-77-2 was the
<br />second part of a two part application which sought to rezone a certain parcel of property at
<br />the terminus of Yorktown Avenue adjacent to the Seaboard-Coastline Railroad shops and yards
<br />(see attached map) from M-1 to M-2 and to secure a use permit for the operation of an automobi
<br />junkyard. Both of the above items were heard by the City Plagning Commission on Tuesday, Marc

<br />use permit request.

<br />of the State and City Codes and the site in question. I am personally satisfied that what
<br />the applicant wishes to operate is a junkyard (automobile graveyard) and that there is nothing
<br />extenuating aboUtt!heapplicant's circumstances which would justify a change in the City Zoning
<br />Ordinance, nor could I determine that the administration of this City would suffer significant
<br />consequences whether this use permit was granted or not.

<br />tion, it would be my suggestion that the following stipulations be included in the requested
<br />permit:
