He does not have a video system, and does not have the required binders. He stated that he is currently using the space for storage only, and is trying to sell the business. He needs the license so he can sell the business, and store his items. I believe that he is not doing business as he is never there. I recommend that he is granted this permit, but will be making periodic checks to make sure that he has not started doing business again. V`{nd in CjerK APR - 3 X009 10 ,g,100RDS 114 G1i'I0 -R'
