COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS:

to have staff take that as a priority to get something done with that
area.

-14- 6/25/91
13.A.3. Dr. Alperin stated he would like to see funds reallocated for
the beautification of Military Trail, which is becoming more and more a
part of the City.
13.A.4. Dr. Alperin stated the inappropriateness of "flea market
flyers" which have been circulated in the City.
The City Attorney advised that because of the fact that there
are permanent walls, inventory on site which does not come and go and
long term leases, this particular location on West Atlantic Avenue does
not constitute a flea market. The Code can be addressed and a sugges-
tion would be to put minimums on the amount of square footage that a
business can have.

moving in the right direction and hopes to see a lot of pipes going in

days.
