Mr. Sill Tackett and Mr. Larry Foster, restaurant owners, were against the granting of the variance for the following reasons: 1. All parking requirements had to be met on their buildings so no partiality sl�ould be shown to Consolidated. The same rules should apply for al.l. 2. The reduction from 118 to 98 parking stalls is n�re than fifty (50) percent less parking than the Ordinance requires. This is too much to ask for. ' There was no further comments from the audience. T�
