the petition stating they were not opposed to this business. Another concern of the
Commission was the distance of the entrance to the parking lot from the intersection of
William and West End Boulevard. Mr. Layton stated that there are similar entrances

neighborhood.
Mr. Marion Coburn, 140 S. Park, appeared in opposition to the special use pennit
