-1 just the coloring on the prints. Mr. Tallon questioned if there was anything wrong with the brick that is there now? Mr. Dotson indicated that it was a hodge-podge of colors and sizes and they wanted to get away from that. R. Tallon made a motion on the Oakleaf Furniture proposal. The motion is to the Board Of Zoning Appeals, the Plamiing Commission will not recommend; (1) a special permit to add to a non-conforming building; (2)a 25'foot rear variance for the rear building setback; (3)a 34'foot variance for the rear side building setback; (4) 8'foot for the front parking lot area setback; (5) 20'foot for the side drive setback; (6)elimiuation of truck loading and unloading area; (7) excessive land coverage, 35%; (8)the grou.nd sign is located in the 35'foot prohibited triangular area; (9) 3'6" height variance for wall sign; (10)56.25' square foot variance for building wall sign; (11) 33.75'square foot maximum sign face allowed; (12)and one car parking variance also. The committee is asking the Board of Zoning Appeals to deny the requests. The proposal does not fit this properiy and this is not in the best interest of anyone to do this. This is just so many variances and it doesn't make any sense to do them. Seconded by R. Koeth and unanimously approved.

No fiuther notifications would be sent out. 2).

Mr. Frederick, owner of the do-it-yourself pottery store came forward to present his proposal which is to open a paint-it-yourself pottery store in the space that once was a Convience Store and then became the Magic Unicorn Coffee House.

Mr. Tallon questioned Mr. Frederick about the location of kilns in the store and if they had to be vented outside?
