Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that it was sub- mitted to the City Commission and the City Commission's action was to refer it to Planning and Zoning for a recommendation. Mr. Simmons stated that there was some thought that, since this Board had acted upon this site plan and approved the site plan in its present form within the not far distant past, perhaps this Board would like to either reaffirm the site plan or provide other direction although it would be more in terms of a recommendation to the City Commission.
