7.Would you be able to attend special meetings/seminars from time to time?
8.Scenario: A prospective business owner would like to start a business in a commercial
zone located on the edge of the downtown area and directly adjacent to a residential area.
Before he can start his business he needs to get a conditional use permit from the City.
The business owner is able to meet all site plan requirements and it appears proper to
grant the permit. However, 10 irate property owners appear at the public hearing and
demand that the City deny the conditional use request because it may result in additional
traffic on a nearby highway. How would you vote on this matter and why?
