based on other businesses in the area being denied an outside telephone
booth. Several members object to outside telephones feeling that this

incoming calls, it is for outgoing use only. He feels this will deter
the drug dealers. The applicant is proposing to install the telephone
booth in the most visible location so that it can be monitored by the
clerks in the store. He stated that there is,a need for a telephone
booth on the outside of the store since it is a total service convenient
store. A few members concurred with the need of a telephone booth at
a convenient store.
