262 Regular Council Meeting 10/17/94 Page Ten Mr. Diemert said he does not believe they would be in any better negotiating position; it would be redundant to try to re negotiate this contract now. Mrs. Cinco asked for a roll call vote. Mr. Busa, seconded by Mr. Basile, made a motion to suspend the rules of Council requiring an ordinance to be read on three separate occasions. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Rules Suspended Mr. Busa, seconded by Mr. Basile, made a motion to enact Ordinance No. 94-37. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Ordinance Enacted VEW BUSINESS 1 Consideration of Variance Request by Paris Properties IVIr. Paris said they have had many different requests for use of the building (none of which panned out.) This one, they feel, is a logical and a good request to have a physical therapy lab and rehabilitation facility. Most of the customers will come from the industry around this area. Mr. Paris said they have sent over an explanation of what Nova Care does and have provided a detailed plan of the facility. He introduced Deborah Singer who will run the operation. Mr. Paris said they are available for discussion. Mr. Diemert said this district is zoned Production-Distribution. The use itself was determined by the Building Commissioner to be more appropriate for a small business office building. It does not mention a medical office; it is a medical-type facility. It was a determination that this was more similar to that type of activity than it was to Production-Distribution. As a result, it was necessary for the Building Commissioner to reject the application and refer Mr. Paris to Council for a variance. Council has exclusive control over variances in a commercial district. Mr. Paris said this is strictly physical therapy and rehabilitation. There is no medical component.
