He presented a drawing of a different type of a kiosk unit that he would like to install.. Building Commissioner Conway explained that there were other problems, the dance studio ui the building was closed for the suinmer, so he did not address parking, and if this is going to be a year round business, he will have to approach it from a totally different aspect.
