TUESDAY, AUGUST 27,11991 <br />in the~Pl~odway District, which was contained in Section 4.3 (A) of~l the <br />proposed· Ordinance, because of the potential for these uses to make a <br />flooding situation worse. Councilman Adams made a motion to adopt the <br />Ordinance as proposed, with the deletion of forestry and outdoor plant <br />nurseries from Section 4.3 (A).
