General discussion followed concerning the necessity of usable and accessible Off-street loading zone because of parking and heavy traff1c on streets and alley in the area. One protest was made by Mrs. Mendoza concerning vision clearance required. She felt that elimination of this would create a hazard and, in addit10n, would set a precedent for the opposite corner. The overhang was also discussed and opposed based on obscuring vision of traff1c - e . signals to be installed 1n the near future.
