177 regular meeting, july 9, 1979 page two was not necessary if tavern owners were given adequate length of time in which to comply. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals went along with the idea of not requiring paving of parking areas. Mr. W. C. Carson felt there needed to be some type of requirement for automobiles such as an entrance way, exit way, curb stops or something of that nature to note individual parking spaces. Mr. Breihan was concerned about the dust which would be caused if some type of asphalt surface was not required, control of parking, and access to I the buildings on an emergency basis. Mr. Cavazos moved to amend the ordinance to add a "grandfather clause" to exempt businesses currently in operation from the requirements of Section 2 1/2-4(E) (5). Mr. Hyatt seconded Mr. Cavazos' motion. On roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYE: Hansen, Sutton, Tenorio, Breihan, Cavazos, Hyatt NAY: James.
