Hearing no objection, the Mayor authorized that a CLARIFICATION bemade to the City Council minutes dated February 28, 1994, statingverbatim the reasons Councilman Fahrner voted not to approve theOrdinance to Amend Title V, Chapter 8, Section 5-8-2 (ZoningOrdinance) of the City Code of the City of Grosse Pointe Woods of1975 by Adding Thereto a Paragraph "O" Entitled "Uses Permitted":

I object to it because of two reasons. One because it wasoutside, the noise factor that is going to be around there.The lack of parking, we are going to create a larger parkingproblem. And now it is going to open the doors f or otherestablishments of the same nature if they don't have the roomout in front of their business they are going to be buildingpatios on top of the roof like many of the well knownestablishments around town are doing. Someone said that isn'tgoing to happen in our city, I said you just gave them thegreen light to do that. They'll move over the air conditionerand put party time upstairs. The noise factor, you (Mayor)had asked Mr. Catlin to insert in there with reference tocontrol the noise factor. That sentence in there isn't strongenough that it's going to stop them from making noise on thatroof up until 2:00 a.m. because the bars are open until 2:00a.m. I really wanted that put into the minutes. Thank youMr. Mayor.

Hearing no objection, the Mayor directed that City Attorney CatlinPREPARE a Resolution stating the cost responsibility for emergencyresponse, and to return such Resolution to the March 21 Councilagenda.
