Therefore, I would recommend 1345 North Arm Drive condition that the 5>s lots and the (Continued) ,.street be combined into one parcel, A sub division would then be required before any future proposal for additional building sites could be approved by Council, Planning Commission Meeting - August 2, 1976 The Zoning Administrator presented the building plans to the Commission, Mr, Ryan was present to explain his plans for this addition.
