Cardinal, and since Cardinal could not utilize the land until
it obtained ownership a~d subsequent site plan approval by.
the Planning and Zoning Board, and since no one appeared to
speak in opposition to the proposed rezoning at the first ad-
vertized public hearing on April 28 and the second advertized
public hearing on May 15, and since I felt that favorable ac-
tion on the part of this Commission was in the best interest
of the City of Sanford and its citizens, and since my parti-
cipation or abstention in the voting in either hearing would
not have altered or affected the'decisions reached by this
Commission, I did not consider it necessary to further abstain.
However, since a newspaper has chosen to raise the ques.
tion of a possible violation of a state statute on the grounds
that my association with Cardinal Industries 'may have impaired
my independence of judgment in the performance of 'my duties,
I hereby request the unanimous consent of this Commission to
permit me to withdraw 'my votes and to amend the 'minutes of the
April 28 'meeting to let the record indicate a "no" vote, and
to amend the ~minutes of the May 15 meeting to let the record
indicate an abstention.
