agreement, the Chester house would remain as present, the site coverage would remain
the same, the height would remain the same, and the GRFA would be adjusted to meet

Mayor Rose asked Jay Peterson, who had been representing M-K Corporation, if he had
• any remarks he would like to make regarding the withdrawal of the request for
zoning. Jay responded no, that his client felt it was inappropriate to go forward
with the problems they were encountering and it would be better to come back later
with a total plan rather than piecemealing it together as they had been doing.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.
