Mr. Tupy stated that the apartments and the exterior of the building should be done in site of three to four months starting in September of this year. The blacktopping for the parking area will be done in the spring. "Ihore was concern about residential housing, or apartment dwellings being provided in the down town business area. It was the feelings of the commissioner's that apartments over commercial enterprise is a good idea, and should be encouraged. k1o: -on was made by Fitzgerald to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the conversion of 3usse's Supermarket into office, apartments and retail space with the following contingencies: 1. There be a structural certification and Fire Marshal certification stating that the property is safe and usable as dwelling units. 2.
