CHARTER REVIEW The Mayor recognized Mrs. Janice Boer, COMMITTEE wh~ inquired why the Council Charter Review Committee had not had another meeting and why she had not been asked to expound further on the Charter revisions presented on behalf of the Property Owners Protective League, Inc. Councilman Patterson responded that he had been ill; that the Committee felt there was no possibility of making recommendations to the Council in time for their inclusion on the June Primary Ballot but that the November General Election was a possibility; that there are only two or three Charter changes the committee would recommend; and that none of these was urgent enough to rush into without benefit of research. Mrs. Boer asked if the Council cared to have any facts on the proposed Charter amendments. Mayor Griset suggested that she put her recommendations in writing. RECESS At 6:00 P.M., the meeting was recessed to 7:30 P.M., at which time itwas recon- vened, with all Council members present. Following the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, the Invocation was delivered by the Reverend G. Edward Garner of the First United Methodist Church.

Mr. Conley displayed a map which depicted the area fully developed as R 1, with some multiple dwellings. Mr. Conley stated the people in the entire surrounding area were against the variance because of additional noise, light from signs and the parking lot, commercial business' incomparability in an R 1 area, odors, increased traffic, and ingress and egress off Memory Lane.
