and the concept plan showed a gas operation that was accessory to the grocery store.

He stated that gas operations should be considered an ancillary revenue generator <br />and not a principal revenue generator. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated it would be appropriate to define the term to be fairly restrictive. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer expressed concern that if gas operations are allowed in one development, <br />they will have to be allowed in other developments. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/July 12, 2004 <br /> Page 6 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
