the Board to consider permitting Appleby's to extend their sidewalk in front of their
restaurant out to accommodate more outside dining. The Board took it under advisement.

out. Engineer Miller made the motion to table this until next week, seconded by

this will set a precedence and others will want to do the same which will lessen the amount of

McCauley and carded unanimously.
