_I AUG 13 1980 aooK 44 PacEz3% COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT IF WE WERE TO ALLOW SMALLER ROOM SIZES, THEN THEORETICALLY, WE SHOULD HAVE LOWER ROOM RATES, AND HE WONDERED IF IT WOULD CAUSE A PROBLEM TO THE OTHER MOTELS THAT ARE bf ALREADY THERE. HE ADDED THAT THE ONLY POSITIVE THING HE COULD THINK OF WOULD BE THAT WE MIGHT GET ADDITIONAL BUSINESS IN THE COUNTY, WHICH WOULD MEAN ADDITIONAL EMPLOYMENT. COMMISSIONER LOY FELT THAT AT THIS MOMENT, WE HAVE OTHER MOTELS WHO HAVE ADHERED TO THE RULES AND REGULATIONS, AND SHE COULD SEE NO REASON TO DECREASE THE PRESENT REGULATION. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ALONG THOSE LINES. PLANNER REVER INTERJECTED THAT THE STUDY DONE BY ATTORNEY O'HAIRE'S CLIENTS IS NOT COMPLETE, AS THEY ARE STILL SEEKING INFORMATION. HE WONDERED IF THEIR MAKING A BUSINESS DECISION IS STILL UP IN THE AIR. ATTORNEY O'HAIRE ASSURED HIM THAT HE HAS COMMUNICATED WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY AND THE ARCHITECT CONCERNING THIS STUDY. COMMISSIONER WODTKE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE RESTRICTIVE- NESS TO I200' RADIUS OF I-95. ATTORNEY COLLINS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A REASONABLE CORRELATION BETWEEN ALLOWING A REDUCTION IN ROOM SIZE WITH THE TRANSITORY POPULATION THAT WOULD BE PASSING ON THE INTERSTATE AS COMPARED TO OTHER AREAS IN THE COUNTY. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT SUPPORT IT, AS IN HIS TRAVELS, THE SMALLER ROOM SIZES DO NOT ALWAYS INDICATE A SMALLER RATE. COMMISSIONER LYONS ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS NOT IN FAVOR OF THE CHANGE, AND COMMISSIONER DEESON AGREED WITH HIM. COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT HE CAN SEE A NEED FOR THE USE, BUT WAS -CONCERNED WITH THE VERY TIGHT RESTRICTIONS OF THE 1200' RADIUS - HE WOULD VOTE AGAINST THIS, BASED ON THE WAY IT WAS PRESENTED. 22
