Don reported that the property next to Prudential will come up soon—potential law office. Houses close to Regions Bank will remain residential.

Dunking Donuts—Don reported that we opposed the zoning because we did not have plans. We have plans and an agreement has been worked out. This was distributed for Board members to review. Discussion on landscaping, hours of operation, windows, and parking followed. A concern is 24-hour operation. A motion was made that we accept this agreement. It was seconded and motion carried. Bob Lundsten abstained.
