Council Member Soderberg thanked the Petitioner for allowing the gardens to continue and for the developer to work closely with the residents in the area. It was noted that the property is currently vacant, and that the total site to be rezoned is 7.23 acres. Council President Niezgodski noted that the site in question had been proposed to become a trucking concern several years earlier.
