As Maria noted, space within the area is very limited for both pedestrian <br />and vehicle traffic and allowance of the waiver would only exazerabate the problem. While <br />Cris noted that a major business has shown interest in acquiring space in the square, the <br />cons far outweigh the pros due to space limitations. <br />Article 19: On motion of George Theophanis, seconded by Dolores Carroll, the <br />Committee voted to accept the subject matter of Article 19 by a vote of 3-0-1. <br />Article 16: Upon reviewing proposed amendments to the Charter, several of the <br />recommendations made by George include the following: <br />Section 2-15: Warrant Articles: line 5 add as defined in Section 2-14," <br />after the word "Subsequent". <br />Section5-5: Removal Procedures: (d) Severance - line 5, change month's <br />to months'. <br />Article 16: On motion of Dolores Carroll, seconded by George Theophanis, Article 16 <br />was recommended, as amended, by a vote of 4-0-0. <br />
