Goldman said even though the company has until March 31 to correct this, the Council may approve the application now, since an occupancy permit will not be issued unless the violation is corrected. Councilman Metcalfe moved that the application be approved. Councilman Sabol questioned Mr. Gidlow. Mr. Gidlow said he bought the property six months ago, and that nearly all the renovation work was complete. He said the selling price would be in the mid -$50,000 range. Councilman Glickert seconded Mrs. Metcalfe's motion. All voted Aye, except Coun- cilman Sabol, who voted Nay.

The motion carried, with all voting Aye except Councilman Sabol, who voted Nay.
