Norm Yenkey, 2233 Markley Road, explained the need for the
request. He stated that a 30 minute restriction would usually be enough but

A discussion followed regarding the replanting of the tree, the
departure from the normal B.I.D.#1 Advisory Board procedures, and future
requests for downtown loading zones. It was noted that: 1) the benefits
outweighed the loss of a mature tree, 2) there is a change in the perception of
loading zones, that it will be self-limiting by making this a public loading
zone, that applicants will bare all costs, and 3) that the City Commission will
consider future requests on their individual merits.
Mr. Yenkey responded to Commission inquiry that the request was
needed for full revitalization of the building for its tenants and that there is
no conflict sharing the zone with other businesses.
Moved by Commissioner Shadwick, seconded by Commissioner Heath,
to approve the request and establish a 30 minute time zone. No provisions for
replacement or compensation of the tree were included in the motion. Aye:
