stated the land is now bought and being designed. The completed and opening

to meet with the President and other key staff members, other issues discussed
were the potential for Commuter Rail at Kirby corner, and a possible traffic

ongoing problem.
Mr. Larry Marcott, 3606 Inverness Court, addressed Council and stated when he

problem. This past week on Westfield the cars were backed up and he saw that

to get through. He stated the City needs to look into to that to insure that the
traffic does not interfere with somebody's life.

Mayor Reid read the communication from the Planning and Zoning Commission

a previous building should be torn down and removed.
Mr. Eisen reported that Mr. Rodriguez had provided Council with communication
regarding his concern to the condition placed on the zoning related to the
billboard.
Mayor Pro -Tem Sherman asked procedurally how the billboard could be
removed even though he may not be in favor of it.

use.

the billboard.

for the business and plans to lease the other side. He stated that when he
demolished the building at 6830 Broadway, and requested the permit he was told
he did not have to remove the foundation.
Councilmember Harris asked Mr. Rodriguez if there were going to be any bays
facing Broadway.
Mr. Rodriguez responded that the building has been redesigned with no bays
facing Broadway and further stated that he has no plans to do anything with the
foundation.
Page 10 of 15 — 2/13/2012
Councilmember Hill asked Mr. Rodriguez if he was operating a business where
the foundation is located.
Mr. Rodriguez stated that his current business is at another location.
Councilmember Harris asked Mr. Rodriguez if he is currently doing business at
6830 Broadway.

and Zoning to remove billboards in the City.
Councilmember Harris stated that counsel has been given on how to advertise
their business on site, since the City requires a certain type of advertising that is
not billboards.

Councilmember Harris, to keep all the existing conditions except the existing
billboard being brought into full compliance with the Unified Development Code.
