PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was represented by C.J. Cropper. Dorothy Straton spoke not against the -request but expressed her concern over the removal of vegetation in the area. She cited a paragraph in the I-430 plan and said that it was being ignored by the developers in the area. She hoped that something could be done to avoid future denuding of sites. The Commission said that zoning could not control that but would look into the matter. A motion was made to recommend approval of the request as filed. The motion passed by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. March 27, 1984 Item No. 13 - Z-4201 Owner: Applicant: Location: Request: Purpose: Size: Dawlin C.
